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.

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.

选项
答案
K
解析
动词辨析题。根据句子结构可知,此处应填入动词的 过去分词形式与have一起作谓语。空格所在句是一个非限制性定语 从句中嵌入的限制性定语从句,用来修饰the antitrust woes,所以空格 所在句句意为“这份协议将会在实质上结束反垄断的难题,该难题 ——这两个公司”。结合备选动词的词义可知,plagued“折磨,使苦 恼”符合句意。
