Very soon you’ll be able to record your entire life (1)_____—anything a microphone or a camera can sense you’ Il be able to (2)_____.

选项
A、Increasing
B、Falling
C、Reducing
D、Rfocketing
答案
B
解析
动词辨析。根据上文,微通讯装置便宜得毫不值钱,也就意味成本的下降,因此 increasing(上升,增加)和rocketing(急剧上升)不符合题意;reducing是及物动词,它和costs是动宾关系,不符合题意;因此,falling为最佳答案,falling costs意为"生产成本的下降"。
