The whole world put attention to the South Asia where the tsunami happened. Before, musicians produced a "sonic tsunami", Wall Street analysts【C1】______ "tsunamis" of bad earnings news and Japanese restaurants served "tsunami" sushi rolls. The word was used in dozens of different【C2】______ , but now it likely will appear with just one tragic meaning.
Because of the South Asian tsunami disaster that has killed more than 150,000 people, the word assumes a(n)【C3】______ solemn use, much the way "Ground Zero", for the site of the World Trade Center, had its meaning【C4】______ from "starting point" to the center of the Sept. 11 tragedy, said Paul Payack, head of Global Language Monitor. Payack said that since the Dec. 26 tsunami, the【C5】______ word has appeared more than 18.5 million times and been the subject of 88,000 articles in major media.
"Before Sept. 11, 2001, the term ground zero was a business cliche meaning starting point, especially when【C6】______ a project over again as in ’going back to ground zero’. That term now represents what many consider to be hallowed ground and its old usage is rarely【C7】______ ," he said.
"In the same manner, we envision that the word tsunami will be the subject of considerable discretion before being used in anything other than a most【C8】______ manner," he said. Payack said thousands of【C9】______ teams around the world use tsunami into their names, like the Tsunami Aquatics Swim team of Livermore, California.
He said there are also some 10,000 products called tsunami, like Tsunami Point-to-Point Wireless Bridges, Tsunami Multimedia Speakers and Tsunami Image Processors. Newspaper headline writers also liked the【C10】______ word, as the Detroit News’ "Ford Releases a Tsunami of New Products" and "Heading for the presidency on a tsunami of visions" in London’s The Times.
[A] colorful [I] foolish
[B] concerts [J] solely
[C] serious [K] thought
[D] changed [L] Japanese
[E] pursuing [M] employed
[F] contexts [N] foresaw
[G] usually [O] sports
[H] beginning
【C3】
选项
答案
J
解析
该空格前为不定冠词a(n),空格后为形容词solemn,因此空格处应选副词作状语。选项中有两个副词 G(通常)和J(单独地),结合句意“由于南亚的海啸灾难夺去了超过15万人的生命,该词采取了严肃的用法”可知,J最适合。
