Many inventors tried to find a【C2】______to send a voice over wires, and in 1876 some of their【C3】______were crowned with (使圆满结束) success. Two American【C4】______, Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray, 【C5】______at almost the same time. The United States【C6】______Court finally had to decide which of the two【C7】______the first inventor of the telephone. The Court decided【C8】______Bell’s favor.

【C12】
选项 A、how
B、what
C、why
D、which
答案A
解析 结构衔接题。分析句子结构可知，本空所在句为并列复合句。分号后who引导定语从句，其中，______to speak为宾语从句，作learn的宾语，说明学习的内容。what和which本身就等于sth．，若填入空中，语义重复，故排除。why表示原因，不是学习的内容，也排除。how to speak意为“怎样说话”，符合语义，故为答案。句意：他的父亲是一个教聋哑者说话的老师。
