问题     Some historian say that the most important contribution of Dwight Eisenhower’s presidency (总统任期) in the 1950s was the U.S. interstate highway system. It was a【C1】________project, easily surpassing the scale of such previous human【C2】________as the Panama Canal.

In 1983 the National Science Foundation (NSF), whose mission is to promote science, took over.
    This new NSF network【C9】________more and more institutional users, many of which had their own internal networks. For example, most universities that joined the NSF network had intra-campus computer networks. The NSF network then became a connector for thousands of other networks. As a backbone system that interconnects networks, internet was a name that fit.
    So we can see that the Internet is the wired infrastructure (基础设施) on which web messages move. It began as a military communication system, which expanded into a government-funded【C10】________research network.
    Today, the Internet is a user-financed system tying intuitions of many sorts together into an "information superhighway."

选项
答案 A
解析 动词辨义题。此处空格位于由and连接的并列句中，空格前为句子的主语，根据空格后的the nation together可以判断，此处空格需要填入一个动词作句子的谓语，且该谓语动词的时态须与and后面的动词facilitated的时态一致，故应填入一个动词的过去式。备选词汇中，bound意为“结合”，attracted意为“吸引”，显然，只有bound符合此处语境，bound the nation together意为“将整个国家联系起来”。故选A。
