Big companies swallow little ones every day. So the【C1】________on March 25th by Yahoo (annual revenue, $5 billion) of Summly, a British start-up (annual revenue, zero), for a reported $30m would normally【C2】________merely a shrug of the shoulders and some muttering about the【C3】________economics of the internet. The deal is worth noting,【C4】________, for two reasons. One is that Summly’s founder, Nick d’Aloisio, is only 17: this summer he will be sitting his【C5】________like other teenagers. He invented an iPhone app to【C6】________articles in 300-400 characters, ideal for the smartphone-user wondering what he should【C7】________reading.
Li Ka-shing, a Hong Kong telecoms tycoon, invested money in the【C8】________, having got wind of an early version of the app after tech blogs wrote about it, Mr d’Aloisio says. Famous actors, artists and entrepreneurs have also【C9】________in, taking the sum outsiders invested in Summly to $1.5m. Mr d’Aloisio says that he remained the largest shareholder.
The second reason is that Summly is just the latest of half a dozen start-ups【C10】________by Yahoo in as many months. The internet company has also bought Stamped, Alike and Jybe, which built apps for personalized recommendations of,【C11】________other things, books, food and music; on the Air, a video-chat company; and Snip.it, which created an app for managing and sharing articles.
Marissa Mayer, Yahoo’s boss since July, says she is【C12】________make the company a stronger force on smartphones and tablets. Yahoo was born on the desktop, but【C13】________Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook, points out Thomas Husson of Forrester, a research firm, it【C14】________a mobile platform, such as an operating system or social network, through which to provide its【C15】________. Yahoo, says Mr Husson, "will have to go through the【C16】________platforms to maximize reach".
On mobile devices, thinks Mr Husson, personalized content will be especially【C17】________. The companies bought by Yahoo have all been trying to provide【C18】________that. Ms Mayer, who has also improved Yahoo’s news and e-mail apps in recent months, has neither time nor money to【C19】________. Had she waited until Mr d’Aloisio left school, it might have been too【C20】________.
【C14】
选项
A、restricts
B、lacks
C、opposes
D、prefers
答案
B
解析
上文提到雅虎收购了Summly这一开发手机应用的公司,上一句子又提到雅虎新任老板对雅虎公司的前景规划:make…on smartphones and tablets。根据这两处内容,可推测雅虎目前在智能手机和平板电脑方面的实力不强。B项lacks“缺乏。缺少”可满足此语义和逻辑要求。A项restricts“限制”代入后指雅虎公司界定移动平台的界限或限制移动平台的使用和开发,不符合语义要求。C项opposes代入后指雅虎反对移动平台,这与文章语义相反。D项prefers代入后表示雅虎更喜欢移动平台,这缺乏相关的语义依据。
