It seems to be a law in the technology industry that leading companies eventually lose their positions, often quickly and brutally. Mobile phone champion Nokia, one of Europe’s biggest technology success stories, was no【C1】______, losing its market share in just a few years.
In 2007, Nokia accounted for more than 40% of mobile phone sales【C2】______. But consumers’ preferences were already【C3】______toward touch-screen smartphones. With the introduction of Apple’s iPhone in the middle of that year, Nokia’s market share【C4】______rapidly and revenue plunged. By the end of 2013, Nokia had sold its phone business to Microsoft.
What sealed Nokia’s fate was a series of decisions made by Stephen Elop in his position as CEO, which he【C5】______in October 2010. Each day that Elop spent in charge of Nokia, the company’s market value declined by $ 23 million, making him, by the numbers, one of the worst CEOs in history.
But Elop was not the only person at【C6】______. Nokia’s board resisted change, making it impossible for the company to adapt to rapid shifts in the industry. Most【C7】______, Jorma Ollila, who had led Nokia’s transition from an industrial company to a technology giant, was too fascinated by the company’s【C8】______success to recognize the change that was needed to sustain its competitiveness.
The company also embarked on a【C9】______cost-cutting program, which included the elimination of thousands of jobs. This contributed to the【C10】______of the company’s once-spirited culture, which had motivated employees to take risks and make miracles. Good leaders left the company, taking Nokia’s sense of vision and directions with them. Not surprisingly, much of Nokia’s most valuable design and programming talent left as well.
A)assumed I)previous
B)bias J)relayed
C)desperate K)shifting
D)deterioration L)shrank
E)exception M)subtle
F)fault N)transmitting
G)incidentally O)worldwide
H)notably [br] 【C4】
选项
答案
L
解析
该空格位于句子主语之后的谓语动词位置,根据上下文判断此处应为一般过去时,因此应填入动词过去式,本句的含义为“诺基亚市场份额缩小,收入骤降”。故答案为L)shrank“收缩,缩减”。备选项中assumed及relayed虽然满足语法要求,但其与上下文语义不符,故排除。
