    Industry analysts would say that Dell has done a poor job of bringing out 【C2】 ________ and attractive products. Apple Mac sales keep rising. HP, Sony, and Lenovo have【C3】 ________ new product lines which have had warm 【C4】 ________ .
    Dell’s core business is being hit by three things. The first is that the company was fairly late at【C5】 ________ into retail outlets (零售店) overseas.

Dell’s final problem is that it cannot find the right people to run the company. It 【C8】 ________ dumped most of the senior management that it hired just over a year ago. It takes time for new people to get up to speed.
    Word has gotten out that Dell plans to launch its own high-end smartphone. Dell does not do well what it is supposed to do well. It has become a second rate PC company. It proposes to partially offset that by entering a business which is controlled by Apple and RIM, the maker of the Blackberry.

选项
答案J
解析 此处应为副词。上一句说戴尔最后一个问题是找不到合适的人来管理公司(一般现在时)，接着说戴尔炒掉了聘请才一年的大部分高管(过去时)，这两句之间没有前因后果的关系，故排除consequently。recently“最近”正好用在过去时中，符合文意。
