For months Twitter, the micro-blogging service, has received the kind of free attention of which most companies can only dream. Politicians, corporate bosses, activists and citizens【C1】______the platform to catch every tweet of America’s new president, who has become the service’s【C2】______"The whole world is watching Twitter,"【C3】______Jack Dorsey, the company’s chief executive,【C4】______he presented its results on February 9th. He has little else to brag about.
But Donald Trump has not provided the kind of boost the【C5】______firm really needs. It reported【C6】______revenue growth and a loss of $ 167m. User growth has been sluggish, too; it added just 2m users in that period. Facebook added 72m. The day of the results, shares in Twitter dropped by 12%.【C7】______news outlets around the world already report【C8】______Mr Trump’s most sensational tweets, many do not feel compelled to join the platform to【C9】______them. Others are【C10】______by mobs of trolls and large amounts of misinformation.
And not【C11】______Mr Trump could change the cold, hard truth about Twitter: that it can never be Facebook. True, it has become one of the most important【C12】______for public and political【C13】______among its 319m monthly users. It played an important role in the Arab spring and【C14】______such as Black Lives Matter. But the platform’s freewheeling nature makes it hard to spin gold from.【C15】______, really trying to do so—by packing Twitter feeds【C16】______advertising, say—would drive away users. Twitter’s latest results are likely to encourage those who think it should never have become a【C17】______listed company, and want it to consider alternate models of ownership, such as a co-operative. They【C18】______Twitter as a kind of public utility—a "people’s platform" —the management of which should concern public【C19】______rather more than commercial ones. If the company were cooperatively owned by users, it would be【C20】______from short-term pressure to please its investors and meet earnings targets.

选项
A、given up
B、taken away
C、put off
D、sent back
答案
C
解析
词组辨析题。[A]given up放弃;[B]taken away带走;[C]put off推迟,阻止,使对……失去兴趣;[D]sent back送回。该段最后两句讲述推特用户增长缓慢的原因,其中该句是第二个原因:Others are 10 by mobs of trolls and large amounts of misinformation.其中mobs of trolls可以理解为“网络喷子”,large amounts of misinformation意为“大量虚假信息”,该句说明其他人因为这些网络喷子和虚假信息对推特失去兴趣,故该空选择put off。注意:given up不能与by一起用,given up by变成“被放弃”,其他人被网络喷子和虚假信息放弃,显然不符合逻辑,故不选[A]。本题答案为[C]。
