One early problem faced by Internet users was speed. Phone lines could only transmit information at a【C4】______ rate.

In the early 1990s, the World Wide Web was developed, in large part, for【C6】______ purposes. Corporations created home pages where they could place text and graphics to sell products.

C) conservation K) posted
D) equipped L) remained

选项
答案
F
解析
名词辨析题。空格前为冠词a(n),空格后为过去分词短语popularly known as the Internet作后置定语修饰该空,因此应填入可数名词单数。本段第一句指出,技术变革为美国人带来了巨大的全新选择,而空格所在句指出,这一变革背后的推动力是众所周知的______因特网。由此可知,因特网在20世纪90年代的美国是新事物,故填入F)innovation“新事物,创新”。备选名词中,首先排除复数名词J)occupations和M)reservations,而A)advantage、B)commercial、C)conservation和H)local都不能用来指称the Internet,故均排除。
