The data【C3】______by the World Bank showed the former Portuguese colony’s GDP per person grew to $91,376 in 2013,【C4】______$77,196 in 2012. Only Luxembourg, Norway and Qatar are wealthier, according to the World Bank.
Meanwhile, Swiss’ GDP per person stayed nearly flat at $80,528 in 2013 compared to $78,929 the year before.
That’ s the good business news from Macau.
The bad news is that its casino industry’ s【C5】______have declined for the first time in nearly five years, as gamblers turn their attention to the World Cup. The former Portuguese colony made $3.4 billion from gambling in June, 3.7% less than in June last year and down 18% month-on-month.
Macau is the world’ s top spot for the gambling industry, reporting a(n) 【C6】______$45 billion in gambling revenues last year—nearly seven times the $6.5 billion that【C7】______in Las Vegas made during the same period.

E)attributed F)owing to G)territory H)casinos
I)reveal J)released K)compared to L)compensate
M)suppression N)advocate O)revenues
【C6】
选项
答案
D
解析
根据后面的$45 billion可知这里要填一个形容词。分析句意可知这里讲的是澳门是世界头号博彩业圣地.报道说去年的博彩收入惊人,达到450亿美元。在所给的选项中astonishing有“惊人的,令人惊诧的”之意,符合句意。其他的选项都不是形容词,在词性上不满足要求。因此,选astonishing。
