Disaster struck the world’s biggest social network on October 4th when Facebook and its sister apps were knocked offline for six hours. It was one of the less【C1】________moments of the company’s week. The next day, Frances Haugen, told Congress of all manner of wickedness at the firm, from【C2】________eating disorders among its younger users to endangering democracy. Some wondered whether the world would be a better place if the collapse were【C3】________.
Politicians are angry but so far seem incapable of carrying out reforms to keep it under【C4】________. And investors have kept buying the stock,【C5】________of the bad headlines. Yet the company should take no【C6】________from this. The blind fury unleashed shows that its reputational problems have got out of hand.
Even when it set out plausible【C7】________to Ms Haugen, people no longer wanted to hear. The firm risks joining the ranks of corporate untouchables like big tobacco. If that idea takes hold, Facebook risks losing its young, liberal staff. Even if its ageing customers stick with the social network, Facebook has bigger ambitions that could be【C8】________if public opinion continues to curdle. Who wants a metaverse created by Facebook? Perhaps as many people as would like their health care provided by Philip Morris.
If【C9】________argument alone is no longer enough to get Facebook out of its hole, the company should look hard at its public face. Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s all-powerful founder, made a reasoned statement after this week’s wave of anger. He was ignored or ridiculed and【C10】________looks like a terrible nuisance.
A) avoiding F) frustrated K) highlights
B) comfort G) increasingly L) rational
C) control H) hardly M) regardless
D) definite I) permanent N) responses
E) embarrassing J) promoting O) satisfied
【C9】
选项
答案
L
解析
形容词辨析题。空格所在句成分完整,空格后是名词argument,空格处应填入形容词作定语修饰argument。文章第三段提到,脸书对豪根所言给出了合理解释,但是人们也不想再听了。空格所在句承接上文指出,如果仅靠____________论证还不足以使脸书摆脱困境,脸书公司应当认真审视自己的公众形象。结合备选项,L)rational“合理的,基于理性的”与上文的plausible“貌似有理的”意思相近,符合句意,为本题答案。
