    New York ’s Attorney General’s office【C1】______ an investigation in the fall into whether or not Verizon, Cablevision and Time Warner are delivering broadband that’s as fast as the providers【C2】______ it is. Earlier this month, the office asked for the public’s help to measure their speed results, saying consumers【C3】______ to get the speeds they were promised. "Too many of us may be paying for one thing, and getting another," the Attorney General said.
    If the investigation uncovers anything, it wouldn’t be the first time a telecom provider got into【C4】______ over the broadband speeds it promised and delivered customers. Back in June, the Federal Communications Commission fined AT&T $100 million over【C5】______ that the carrier secretly reduced wireless speeds after customers consumed a certain amount of【C6】______.
    Even when they stay on the right side of the law, Internet providers arouse customers’ anger over bandwidth speed and cost.

    Some Americans are getting so【C9】______ with Internet providers they’re just giving up. A recent study found that the number of Americans with high-speed Internet at home today【C10】______ fell during the last two years, and 15% of people now consider themselves to be "cord-cutters".
A) accusations I) hated
B) actually J) launched
C) claim K) relating
D) communicating L) times
E) complain M) trouble
F) data N) usually
G) deserved O) worried H) frustrated [br] 【C5】
选项
答案 A
解析 空格前为介词over，空格后为that从句，故本空需要填入一个名词。结合句意可知，联邦通信委员会对美国电话电报公司处以一亿美元的罚款，这是因为该公司秘密地降低了无线网络的速度而受到了指控。备选项中只有accusations(控告，指控)符合句意，故答案为A。
