America’s Internet is faster than ever before, but people still complain about their Internet being too slow.
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. Just this week, an investigation found that media and telecom giant Comcast is the most【C7】______ provider. Over 10 months, Comcast received nearly 12,000 customer complaints, many【C8】______ to its monthly data cap and overage (超过额度的) charges.
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] 【C2】
选项
答案
C
解析
空格前为名词作主语,空格后为省略that的宾语从句,故本空需要填入一个动词作谓语。结合句意可知,这一调查的目的是查看威瑞森、有线电视和时代华纳公司这些宽带供应商提供的网速是否跟它们声称的一样快。备选项中只有claim(声称,断言)符合句意,故答案为C。
