It was a【C1】______ project, easily surpassing the scale of such previous human【C2】______ as the Panama Canal. Eisenhower’s interstate highways【C3】______ the nation together in new ways and【C4】______ major economic growth by making commerce less【C5】______ Today, an information superhighway has been built—an electronic network that【C6】______ libraries, corporations, government agencies and【C7】______ .

【C20】
选项 A、into
B、amid
C、over
D、toward
答案A
解析 介词辨义。空格处前面提到“互联网将各种各样的机构连接在一起”，空格后面则提到“一条信息高速公路”。从句意看，后者是前者产生的结果。四个介词中只有into能够表达“形成”这个意思，所以本题正确答案为A项。amid意为“在……中”，over意为“在……之上，越过”，toward意为“朝，向”。这三个词均不符合题意。
