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】______.

【C13】
选项 A、expanded
B、contracted
C、attracted
D、extended
答案C
解析 动词辨义。根据上下文可以得出句意为：这种新的NSF网络吸引了越来越多的机构用户。而且所选择的动词需要能够和后面的宾语users搭配，所以选择C项attracted“吸引”，attracted users意为“吸引客户”。A项expanded意为“扩张”，B项contracted意为“签约；缩小”，D项extended意为“延伸，伸展”。这三个动词都不能和后面的名词users搭配，故均可以排除。
