问题     Video games have become increasingly realistic, especially those involving armed combat. America’ s armed forces have even used video games【C1】______recruitment and【C2】______tools. But the desire to play games is not the【C3】______why the United States Air Force recently【C4】______a procurement request for 2,200 Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) video-game consoles. It intends to link them【C5】______to build a supercomputer that will【C6】______Linux, a free, open-source operating system. It will be used for research, including the development of high-definition imaging systems for radar, and will cost around one-tenth as much as a conventional supercomputer. The air force has already built a smaller computer【C7】______a cluster of 336 PS3s.
    This is merely the latest example of a (n)【C8】______trend. There is a long tradition of technology developed for military use filtering【C9】______to consumer markets: satellite-navigation systems【C10】______to guide missiles can also help hikers find their way, and head-up displays have【C11】______from jet fighters to family cars. But technology is increasingly moving in the other【C12】______ , too, as consumer products are【C13】______for military use.
    Traditionally the military has preferred to develop and control its own technology, not just for tactical advantage but also to【C14】______that equipment was tough and【C15】______enough for those whose lives would depend on it. That began to change after the cold war as defence budgets became【C16】______and the development of【C17】______ industrial and consumer products accelerated. As some of these technologies have become commoditised products which are【C18】______to everyone—friend and foe alike—there seems less【C19】______not to buy them and use the savings for more critical equipment that needs to be built-to-order. And consumer products can often be tweaked to make them more rugged or【C20】______when necessary.  
【C16】
选项 A、abundant
B、constrained
C、balanced
D、accumulated
答案B
解析 考查形容词辨析。空格处所在句意为：冷战结束后随着国防预算______以及______工业和消费类产品的加速发展，情况开始发生变化。根据语境可知，冷战之后，国防预算应该是缩减或是受限制了才会引起军方不得不做出改变，因此B．constrained“受限制的”为最佳选项。abundant“充足的”；balanced“平衡的”；accumulated“累积的”，均不符合题意。
