Automotive technology,【C1】______, changes constantly: in the past decade satellite-navigation systems, hybrid power trains, proximity sensors and other innovations have【C2】______Each time you buy a new car, you will【C3】______a host of new features. Progress is【C4】______in aircraft, too, with【C5】______in in-flight entertainment and communication, fancy seats that turn into beds, and quieter and more efficient engines. Trains,【C6】______, appear to have changed a lot less.
This【C7】______is not entirely fair.【C8】______, people buy their own cars, so they pay more attention to automotive innovation. Carmakers are【C9】______in a constant arms race, trumpeting new features as a way to【C10】______their products. Nobody buys their own trains. Similarly, air passengers have a choice of【C11】______airlines and are far more likely to be aware of the【C12】______of rival fleets than they are of different types of train.【C13】______, trains have longer lives, so technology takes longer to become【C14】______The planning horizon for one rail project【C15】______to 2050.
【C16】______there is no【C17】______of new ideas, and they are steadily making their way out onto the rails.

【C11】
选项
A、leading
B、diminishing
C、collaborating
D、competing
答案
D
解析
本题考查句内语义。空格处填入动词一ing形式的形容词修饰airlines,说明乘客可以从……的航空公司中作出选择。competing代入,指“互相竞争的航空公司”,与上文“汽车制造商的竞争”呼应,也照应下文rival fleets;说明的还是航空公司同汽车制造商一样,客户对其新特点都有更多关注,因此他们要不断推陈出新,以在竞争中吸引客户。
