For decades the market for expensive headphones was mainly limited to hi-fi fans. But【C1】________the boxy stereo system in the corner of the bedroom is largely a thing of the past, and young music fans listen【C2】________on portable devices, headphones have become as much of a fashion statement as the music player itself.【C3】________the first to spot the potential of this market was Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine. In 2008 they【C4】________their Beats range of headphones, to great【C5】________. They have all but created a new product【C6】________: premium-priced headphones whose sound quality is good enough,【C7】________which mainly sell on their brand image.
Beats Electronics and its founders have proved skilled【C8】________using celebrity endorsements and product placement to【C9】________his headphones. In America the company now has almost half the market for premium-priced headphones, compared with 21% for Bose, a longer-established maker. Beats headphones are exactly what hip-hop fans want, but might not suit opera lovers. Overall,【C10】________, they are a lot better than the earphones that come free with most portable devices.
There is in any case a limit to how good music will sound through even the best headphones. Most of the music tracks on portable music players are in the form of mp3 audio files, in which the music has been【C11】________to make the files smaller and【C12】________fit more of them into a【C13】________amount of storage capacity.
Since consumers have been persuaded, largely by Beats, that it is worth paying a high price for headphones, perhaps they could be persuaded to turn their backs on cheap mp3s and【C14】________recordings in true high fidelity.
If sales of hi-fi recordings take off it may【C15】________the market for really top-class headphones like those of Grado Labs, another American firm. Grado has for decades relied on reviews in specialist magazines, and word-of-mouth【C16】________from fans, to spread news of its headphones’【C17】________reproduction. In contrast to Beats, it has avoided image making it has not【C18】________since 1964 Unlike Dr Dre, then, its【C19】________are less tied to the【C20】________tastes and fast-changing fashions of the young.

选项
A、From
B、Before
C、Against
D、Among
答案
D
解析
通读全文,可以知道除了本句中提到的Dr Dre和Jimmy Iovine,最后一段中提到的Grado Labs也生产(高端)耳机。由此可判断Dr Dre和Jimmy Iovine只是最早发现高端耳机市场潜力的人之一,故D项Among的语义符合逻辑和常理。A项From表示来源,上下文没有涉及来源方面。B项Before代入后指Dr Dre和Jimmy Iovine比起the first to spot the potential of this market更早发现耳机的市场潜力,逻辑不符。C项Against接对象时有“对……不利”之意,语义与下文语义不一致。
