问题     Amazon today unveiled Dash Buttons, an easy way for customers to【C1】______ select bulk goods【C2】______ an internet-connected button, and yesterday【C3】______ Home Services, an on-demand installation and handyman service. Combined, they show that the e-commerce giant has a clear understanding of how the Internet-of-things will【C4】______ its business. And it isn’t going to be shy about capitalizing on connectivity to build its bottom line. Dash Buttons are an adaptation of Amazon’s【C5】______ -controlled Dash ordering system that lets people speak to order new【C6】______ items.
    So【C7】______ Amazon has is a retrofit strategy for connecting smart appliances to its e-commerce operations and a future-facing strategy for the coming flood of【C8】______ devices. And all of this is geared around making buying products from Amazon as easy as possible.
    The【C9】______ of one-button tasks are appealing,【C10】______ it could lead to a【C11】______ of packages ending up at people’s doors if Amazon doesn’t try to【C12】______ waste on its end, by grouping shipments together when possible. People on Twitter seem mostly【C13】______ about pets and small children playing with the Dash Buttons and ordering multiples of their Kraft Macaroni and Cheese boxes, although Amazon notes that【C14】______ the button is pressed more than once, the order doesn’t go【C15】______ on the second time, and you’ll get a smartphone notification about it.
    Amazon also recently launched Home Services, following up on last year’s opening of a home automation e-store devoted to connected gadgets for the home—many of which require a【C16】______ installer. So now Amazon can sell these devices along with the person who can install them. It also is【C17】______ on maintenance, via a network of service providers that it can call【C18】______ for its network of suppliers or for its own planned connected home play.
    With Dash, it’s【C19】______ an offensive play to【C20】______ up more sales as devices come online. With Amazon Home Services, it’s making a defensive play as other large companies try to become more vertically integrated.
【C20】
选项 A、rise
B、make
C、ring
D、put
答案C
解析 本句意为“亚马逊可以借助Dash主动出击，______销售额”，结合文章大意和常识可推断是“提升”销售额，ring up为固定搭配，除了有“打电话”的意思外，还有“赚取，盈利”的意思。考生要注意对熟词僻义的积累。因此，选C．ring。rise up“起义，造反”，make up“构成；弥补；编造”，put up“建造，搭建，张贴”，均不符合题意。
