问题     Some historians say that the most important contribution of Dwight Eisenhower’s presidency (总统任期) in the 1950s was the U. S. interstate highway system. 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】______ . This electronic superhighway is called the Internet,【C8】______ it is the backbone (主干) of the World Wide Web.
    The Internet had its【C9】______ in a 1969 U. S. Defense Department computer network called ARPAnet, which【C10】______ Advanced Research Projects Agency Network. The Pentagon built the network for military contractors and universities doing military research to【C11】______ information. In 1983 the National Science Foundation (NSF) ,【C12】______ mission is to promote science, took over.

【C1】
选项 A、concise
B、radical
C、massive
D、trivial
答案C
解析 形容词辨义。根据后面表示补充说明的分词短语可知，州际高速公路工程的规模远远超过人类在此之前完成的各项工程，比如巴拿马运河。由此可见，州际高速公路工程规模浩大，所以本题选择C项massive“大规模的；宏伟的”。concise意为“简明的，简要的”；radical意为“激进的；根本的”，trivial意为“琐碎的，微不足道的”。这三个词都不能与后面的名词project搭配，而且无法和下文保持一致，故均可以排除。
