Disaster struck the world’s biggest social network on October 4th when Facebook and its sister apps were knocked offline for six hours. It was one of the less【C1】________moments of the company’s week. The next day, Frances Haugen, told Congress of all manner of wickedness at the firm, from【C2】________eating disorders among its younger users to endangering democracy. Some wondered whether the world would be a better place if the collapse were【C3】________.
Politicians are angry but so far seem incapable of carrying out reforms to keep it under【C4】________. And investors have kept buying the stock,【C5】________of the bad headlines. Yet the company should take no【C6】________from this. The blind fury unleashed shows that its reputational problems have got out of hand.
Even when it set out plausible【C7】________to Ms Haugen, people no longer wanted to hear. The firm risks joining the ranks of corporate untouchables like big tobacco. If that idea takes hold, Facebook risks losing its young, liberal staff. Even if its ageing customers stick with the social network, Facebook has bigger ambitions that could be【C8】________if public opinion continues to curdle. Who wants a metaverse created by Facebook? Perhaps as many people as would like their health care provided by Philip Morris.
If【C9】________argument alone is no longer enough to get Facebook out of its hole, the company should look hard at its public face. Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s all-powerful founder, made a reasoned statement after this week’s wave of anger. He was ignored or ridiculed and【C10】________looks like a terrible nuisance.
A) avoiding F) frustrated K) highlights
B) comfort G) increasingly L) rational
C) control H) hardly M) regardless
D) definite I) permanent N) responses
E) embarrassing J) promoting O) satisfied
【C1】
选项
答案
E
解析
形容词辨析题。空格前为比较级结构the less,空格后为名词moments,因此本空应填入多音节形容词。空格前一句提到,脸书宕机达6小时之久。空格后一句指出,第二天有人向国会举报了脸书公司威胁民主等种种恶行。与被举报相比,宕机对该公司来说没那么糟糕。空格所在句承上启下,应填入一个含有消极意义的形容词。备选项中,Fl frustrated“沮丧的,懊恼的”常形容人,故排除。E)embarrassing“令人尴尬的”符合句意。故为答案。
