For decades, the television was the flagship of any
consumer-electronics product line-up. In all the gadgets in the home,【M1】______
the TV held the most prominent real estate in the living room, cost
the most to buy, and carry the biggest brand mark. And for【M2】______
consumer-electronics makers who manufactured them, selling TVs
was a good business.
As the bulky cathode-ray tube televisions of the past turned
into the sleek, flat-screen televisions of today, another shift started
to occur. The price competition was merciful and unrelenting since【M3】______
the televisions were hard to differentiate. Even so consumers were【M4】______
buying more televisions than ever, TV makers struggled to turn a
profit. Now, another shift is taking place, and it is threatening to
rob televisions their prominence—and value—in the home. With【M5】______
more people streaming or downloading video as an alternation to【M6】______
cable or satellite broadcast, more consumers are watching TV
shows and movies on smartphones, tablets and laptops. The
television, meanwhile, may become just another screen. "That’s a
very real possibility," says Paul Gagnon, the director of North 【M8】______
American TV research for DisplaySearch, a market-research firm
based in Santa Clara, Calif. When televisions end up becoming【M8】______
just another monitor, he says, " that is a low-profit, no-money
business with just a handful of players."
To stay ahead of changing viewing habits, television makers
are pushing Web-connected televisions loading with applications.【M9】______
Web TVs count for about a quarter of all new flat-panel televisions【M10】______
this year, rising to about half of all shipments in three years,
according to DisplaySearch.
【M3】
选项
答案
merciful一merciless
解析
语篇错误。下文提到“各类电视机之间难分伯仲,即使消费者的电视机购买量提高了,但电视机制造商却在艰难地力图扭亏为盈”。由此可以判断,电视机行业的竞争是相当残酷的,merciful表示“仁慈的,宽恕的”,用在此处不符合上下文语境,应该用其反义词merciless,表示竞争是“相当激烈和残酷的”。
