问题 　　Amid the endless typing and clicking on smartphones and computers, ink-based writing instruments continue to prevail, which is why Platinum Pen remains committed to providing high-quality, elegant and affordable fountain pens to discerning customers for whom the art of writing will never die.
　　Channeling the spirit of Japanese monozukuri craftsmanship for more than a century, Platinum Pen, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2019, combines tradition and innovation to develop writing instruments fit for the needs and desires of its modern customers, based firmly on the belief that its fountain pens will always have a place even in our highly digitalized world.
　　" Writing contributes to creativity and brain activity; and the use of writing instruments in exams and reports continues to increase. In Europe, fountain pens have been used since the compulsory education stage. The digital mega-trend is easy to see, but the other side continues to exist. Just as a pendulum does not swing only in one direction," says Platinum Pen’s president, Toshiya Nakata, who highlights the important role of the fountain pen in a world where mindfulness, reconnecting with tradition and "digital detox" have become increasingly popular concepts.
　　In a bid to encourage the wide-range use of fountain pens, Platinum launched Preppy fountain pens in 2007, since which more than 10 million Preppy fountain pens have been sold worldwide. Offering smooth writing and high quality at a very low price, Preppy fountain pens are perfect for beginners and have become incredibly popular with younger women thanks to their cool, sleek and modern design. The Preppy features Platinum’s patented "Slip and Seal" mechanism that prevents the nib from drying out after long periods without use. "This allows comfortable writing with fresh ink anytime and also reduces the need for repairs considerably," explains Mr. Nakata. "We applied the technology to the Preppy series to make it easier to handle for people who do not use fountain pens regularly. "
　　For serious fountain pen enthusiasts seeking a more luxury and classic style, the " Slip and Seal" mechanism is also a feature of Platinum’s premium #3776 series. Launched in 2011, the #3776 Century pen—whose name is a nod to being the No. 1 fountain pen in Japan featuring the height of Mount Fuji (3,776m)—boasts a 14k gold nib and cartridge converter-style fill system. Forty years on since the release of the first # 3776 brand, the # 3776 Century is the result of Platinum’s untiring efforts over the past one hundred years to craft the ideal fountain pen.
The #3776 Century pen was launched by Platinum Pen in order to_________.
选项 A、defeat the Preppy series
B、become the bestseller fountain pen in Japan
C、cater to the need of enthusiastic fountain pen fans
D、commemorate the eruption of Mount Fuji in 2011
答案C
解析 细节题。根据题干可定位至最后一段。根据选项A可定位至第一句，原文中只是提到#3776系列和“预科生”系列一样使用了“滑动和密封”机制，并没有提到要打败它，无中生有，故排除；根据选项B和D可定位至第二句，原文中提到的“NO．1”表示的是第一支以富士山高度命名的钢笔，并没有提到要成为销量最好的钢笔，无中生有，故选项B排除；文中没有提到富士山的喷发，故选项D排除；根据选项C可定位至该段第一句，其中cater to“迎合”对应for“为了”，enthusiastic fountain pen fans为文中serious fountain pen enthusiasts的同义替换，故选项C正确。
