问题 Any sufficiently advanced technology,noLed Arthur C.Clarke,a British science-fiction writer,is indistinguishable from magic.The fast-emerging technology of voice computing proves his 1.Using it is just like casting a spell:say a few words inLo the air,and a nearby device can 2 your wish.The Amazon Echo,a voice-driven cylindrical computer that sits on a table top and answers to the name Alexa,can 3 music tracks and radio stations,tell jokes,answer trivia questions and control smart 4;even before Christmas it was already resident in about 4qo of American house holds.Voice assistants are 5 in smartphones,too:Apple's Siri 6 0ver2 billion commands a week,and 20%of Google 7 0n Android powered handsets in America are input by voice.Dictating e-mails and text messages now works 8 enough to be useful.Why type when you can talk?This is a huge shift.Simple 9 it may seem,voice has the power to transform computing,by providing a natural means of interaction.Windows,icons and menus,and then touchscreens,were welcomed as more 10 ways to deal with computers than entering complex keyboard 11.But being able to talk to computers.12 the need for the abstraction of a"user interface"at aLI.13 mobile phones were more than exisLing phones without wires,and cars were more than carriages without horses,so computers without screens and keyboards have the 14 to be more useful and powerful than people can imagine today.Voice will not wholly 15 other forms of input and output.SomeLimes it will remain more 16 to converse with a machine by Lyping rather than talking.But voice is destined to 17 a growing share of people's interactions with the technology around them,from washing machines that tell you how much of the cycle they have left to virtual assisLants in corporate call-centres.18,to reach its full potential,the technology requires 19.breakthroughs-and a resolution of the 20 questions it raises around the trade-off between convenience and privacy.9选？A.becauseB.thoughC.whenD.since

选项 A.because
B.though
C.when
D.since

答案 B

解析逻辑关系题。该空所在句子是一个倒装句，原来顺序是：-9～it may seem simple．voice has the power...该空前面出现simple“简单的”一词，偏向负面否定；下句的has the power“有能力”则是明显的正面肯定，前后句出现相反逻辑，故该空的逻辑关系为转折让步，四个选项中，唯有though一词为让步逻辑，表示“虽然，尽管”之意，意思是“尽管看似简单，但是语音能够……”，逻辑通顺合理，故本题选择[B]。
