Struggling 【C3】______ an evaporation of advertising and a downward drift in street corner sales, The New York Times 【C4】______ to introduce a "metered" model at the beginning of 2011. Readers will be required to pay when they have 【C5】______ a set number of its online articles per month.
The decision puts the 159-year-old newspaper 【C6】______ the charging side of an increasingly wide chasm in the media industry. But others, including The Guardian, have said they will not【C7】______internet readers, and certain papers, 【C8】______ London’s Evening Standard, have gone further in abandoning readership revenue by making their print editions【C9】______.
The New York Times’ publisher, Arthur Sulzberger,【C10】______that the move is a gamble: "This is a【C11】______, to a certain degree, in where we think the web is going."
Boasting a print【C12】______of 995,000 on weekdays and 1.4 million on Sundays, The New York Times is the third bestselling American newspaper,【C13】______The Wall Street Journal and USA Today.【C14】______most U.S. papers focus on a single city, The New York Times is among the few that can【C15】______national scope—as well as【C16】______bureaus in the New York area, it has 11 offices around the U.S. and 1626 bureaus elsewhere in the world.

【C11】
选项
A、net
B、kit
C、bet
D、pit
答案
C
解析
考查名词辨析。该句话是直接引用阿瑟-苏兹贝格的话,意为“在某种程度上说,这是在网络何去何从方面的一次______”,前文提到阿瑟-苏兹贝格认为这次行动是一场赌博,故此处填的词应该与“赌博”同义,bet有“打赌”的意思,符合文意,故C.bet为正确答案。net意为“网”;kit意为“成套用品,配套元件”;pit意为“井,煤矿”,均不符合题意。
