The Internet was developed during the 1970s by the Department of Defense. In the case of an attack, military advisers suggested the【C2】______ of being able to operate one computer from another terminal- In the early days, the Internet was used mainly by scientists to communicate with other scientists. The Internet【C3】______ under government control until 1984.
One early problem faced by Internet users was speed. Phone lines could only transmit information at a【C4】______ rate. The development of fiber-optic (光纤) cables allowed for billions of bits of information to be received every minute. Companies like Intel developed faster microprocessors, so personal computers could process the【C5】______ signals at a more rapid 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. Soon airline tickets, hotel【C7】______ , and even cars and homes could be purchased online. Universities【C8】______ research data on the Internet, so students could find【C9】______ information without leaving their dormitories.

A) advantage I) maintained

C) conservation K) posted

选项
答案
O
解析
形容词辨析题。本空位于不可数名词information之前,应填入形容词作定语。由句意可知,学生足不出户就可以在网上查到学校发布的研究数据,而这些数据对他们来说肯定是有用的,因此应填入O)valuable“有价值的,珍贵的”。备选形容词中,还剩下H)local,学生在网上不可能只找到当地的信息,语义太片面,故排除。
