If you call a home (5)_____ there is a telephone answering machine (6)_____ you will hear several rings and then a recorded message that (7)_____ says something like this: "Hello. We can’t come to the (8)_____ right now. If you want us to call you back, please leave your name and number after the beep." Then you will hear a "beep", (9)_____ is a brief, high-pitched (10)_____.

    Some large businesses and government agencies are using telephone answering machines to provide information on (14)_____ about which they receive a large volume of (15)_____. Generally speaking, using these systems (16)_____ you to have a touch-tone phone (a phone with buttons rather than a rotary dial).

选项 A、impossibly
B、hardly
C、always
D、usually
答案D
解析 语义衔接题。该句中that引导的是定语从句，修饰先行词a recorded message。接下来，又提到了录音电话留言信息的内容：Hello(你好)。根据常识可知，通常录音电话都这样说，希望来电者留言，四个选项中只有usually(通常)符合上下文语义。impossibly意为"不可能地，办不到地"，显然不符合此处的语境。hardly意为"几乎不"，表示否定含义，与impossibly类似，句中不可能出现表示否定意义的副词。always意为"始终，永远"，与usually相比过于绝对，不符合常识。
