They were the Macbeths of information technology: a wicked couple who seized power and abused it in bloody and greedy ways. But in recent years, the story has【C1】______Bill Gates, Microsoft’s founder, has retired to give away his billions. The "Wintel" couple(short for "Windows" and "Intel")are【C2】______seen as yesterday’s tyrants. Rumors【C3】______that a coup is brewing to oust Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s current boss.
Yet there is life in the old technologists. They still control the two most important standards in【C4】______: Windows, the operating system for most personal computers, and "Intel Architecture," the set of rules governing how software【C5】______with the processor it runs on. More than 80% of PCs still run on the "Wintel" standard. Accordingly,【C6】______for Windows and PC chips, which flagged during the global recession, has【C7】______So have both firms’ results: to many people’s surprise, Microsoft announced a thumping(巨大的)quarterly profit of $4.5 billion in July; Intel earned a(n) 【C8】______$2.9 billion.
So now is a good time to take stock of IT’s most hated power couple. As The Economist went to press, Intel was on track to reach a【C9】______with America’s Federal Trade Commission(FTC), which would in effect end the antitrust woes that have【C10】______both firms. And Microsoft has recently strengthened its ties with ARM, Intel’s new archrival(对手). This suggests that the Wintel marriage is crumbling.
A)interacts F)impressive K)incredibly
B)increasingly G)resolution L)demand
C)various H)recovered M)computing
D)persist I)plagued N)settlement
E)desire J)changed O)consider [br] 【C6】
选项
答案
L
解析
名词辨析题。空格处应填入名词与for引导的介词短语共同构成整个句子的主语。在备选名词中,demand和desire两个词可以与for并用。根据上句可知,80%多的个人电脑仍然在“Wintel”标准上运行。由此可知,此处应为“对Windows和电脑芯片的需求”,故demand符合句意。
