问题     So why is Google suddenly so interested in robots? That’s the question everyone’s asking after it emerged this month that the internet giant has quietly collected a portfolio of eight advanced-robotics firms. Google is【C1】________the venture as partly a long term "moonshot" project-the name【C2】________to its more bizarre or【C3】________ideas, such as its self-driving car or broadband via high-altitude balloons. But it also says it aims to【C4】________a batch of robotics products in the【C5】________term and it has a "10-year vision" of where the company is【C6】________.
    Based in the US and Japan, the new acquisitions make【C7】________products, ranging from walking humanoids (human-like Robots), to assembly robots, machine-vision systems and robotic special-effects movie cameras.
    The【C8】________of technologies that Google has acquired doesn’t point to【C9】________one type of robot being developed, says Chris Melhuish. "These technologies could【C10】________anything from a smart bed to a wheeled home-assistant robot for elderly people."
    But Will Jackson thinks Google will use its【C11】________in search engines to allow people to find【C12】________faster in shopping malls and airports. "You would never go over and talk to a touch screen,【C13】________if a mechanical person talks to you and makes eye【C14】________and smiles it’s very hard indeed not to talk【C15】________. Google knows all about our【C16】________and market preferences al-ready. A robot would be a good【C17】________for that information."
    Google’s moves are【C18】________of how robotics is changing, says Scott Eckert. "The robotics industry is in the early stages of a【C19】________from a primarily industrial market to a dynamic technology sector," he says. "This is an exciting industry with a【C20】________future."  
【C2】

选项 A、addressed
B、told
C、given
D、taken

答案C

解析 moonshot“向月球发射”这个项目名听上去就很让人难以置信了,因此推断,moonshot应该是给下文提及的那些more bizarre…ideas取的名字,故选C项given,短语give the name to sth.表示“给……取名”。A项addressed“向……讲话”和B项told“告诉”都没有说明moonshot跟more bizarre…ideas的语义关系。D项taken作“带给”时,通常用于take sth.to sb.结构,从用法上即可排除。
