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.

选项
A、abusing
B、deducting
C、developing
D、abandoning
答案
D
解析
考查动词辨析。根据选项中的动词现在分词形式推断,该句是动词现在分词作状语,此处意为“…抛弃了网上用户不用付费看新闻的习惯做法”,逻辑主语是前文提到的《纽约时报》计划设置网站的收费门槛,故D.abandoning“放弃,抛弃”为正确答案。abuse“滥用,虐待”;deduct“扣除,减去,演绎”;develop“发展,培养”,均不符合题意。
