问题     When Melissa Mahan and her husband visited the Netherlands, they felt imprisoned by their tour bus. It forced them to see the city according to a particular【C1】______as well as a specific【C2】______—but going off on their own meant【C3】______the information provided by the guide. On their return home, they started a new company called Tour Coupes. Now, when tourists in San Diego【C4】______one of their small, brightly coloured three-wheeled vehicles, they are【C5】______to a narration over the stereo system【C6】______the places they pass, triggered by Global Positioning System(GPS)satellite technology.
    This is just one example of how GPS is being used to provide new services to tourists. A tourism firm began offering a【C7】______service in Montgomery, Alabama The city is【C8】______with sites associated with two important【C9】______in American history, the civil war of the 1860s and the civil-rights movement a century later. Montgomery has a 120-year-old streetcar system, called the Lightning Route, which【C10】______around the downtown area and is【C11】______used by tourists. On the Lightning Route streetcars, GPS-triggered audio clips point out historical【C12】______.
    If such services can prove【C13】______, the use of audio-guide devices could give way【C14】______a different approach. Now, a(n) 【C15】______number of mobile phones have built-in GPS or can determine their【C16】______using other technologies. Information for tourists delivered【C17】______phones could be updated in real time. "Location-based services", such as the ability to call up a list of nearby banks or pizzerias, have been talked about for years【C18】______have never taken off. Aiming such services【C19】______tourists makes sense—since people are more likely to want information when in a(n) 【C20】______place. It could give mobile roaming a whole new meaning.
【C13】
选项 A、popular
B、available
C、personal
D、public
答案A
解析 本句主旬提及“音频导游装置有可能被另一种不同的方法所取代”，“另一种不同的方法”指的是下文的“用内置GPS的手机或其他技术定位进行讲解”，但这些不同方法的基础还是上文的音频导游装置。因此要取代，必要的条件是音频导游装置流行，故只能选A项popular“受欢迎的”。
