Although Davis was the first one to use the name nickelodeon,【C3】______experiments were taking place in other parts of the country.【C4】______the country, vaudeville(杂耍)managers, traveling exhibitors, and show businessmen【C5】______their jobs to set up their own nickel picture【C6】______. There was a great deal of money【C7】______in the business, but nickelodeon owners had to work hard to【C8】______their product. They could not afford to advertise【C9】______in the papers, but they could and【C10】______design their storefront facades to call attention to their shows--with oversized【C11】______, attraction boards, posters, and as many light bulbs as they had【C12】______for, To draw the attention of【C13】______, they set up phonographs on the street side and hired【C14】______barkers: "It is only five cents. ’ See the moving-picture show, see the wonders of Port Said tonight, and a shrieking comedy from real life,【C15】______for five cents.

选项
A、similar
B、different
C、flexible
D、identical
答案
A
解析
词汇辨析。根据主从句的逻辑来判断,本句大意为“虽然戴维斯是第一个使用该名字的人,但是在其他地方也有类似的尝试。”different意为“不同的”,identical意为“一模一样的”,flexible意为“灵活的”,均不符合前后逻辑。similar意为“相似的”,符合句意。
