The social networking giant said on Tuesday that it will not【C1】________ads for financial products that "are frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices," specifically【C2】________currencies and "initial coin offerings," a fundraising (筹款的) tactic that new cryptocurrencies use to attract fresh investors. "We want people to continue to discover and learn about new products and services through Facebook ads without fear of【C3】________or deception," wrote Rob Leathern, a product management director at Facebook, in a blog post.
        The spectacular【C4】________in prices last year of bitcoin and many alternative cryptocurrencies has sparked a surge of interest among investors and companies of all kinds.

"Market professionals, especially gatekeepers, need to act【C6】________and hold themselves to high standards," SEC Chairman Jay Clayton said in recent speech. "To be frank, from what I have seen recently,【C7】________in the initial coin offering space, they can do better."
        Facebook provided a number of examples to illustrate its new policy, such as ad【C8】________that advises users to convert their retirement funds into bitcoin or promotions for "no-risk" cryptocurrencies.

选项
答案 A
解析 动词辨析题。分析句子结构可知，that引导的定语从句中，第一个谓语动词为promise，第二个谓语动词用了现在完成时结构，因此空格处应填入动词的过去分词形式。根据句意可知，比特币等数字货币的过分繁荣已经导致高回报骗局的出现，这必然会引起美国证券交易委员会的关注和调查。结合备选项可以推断出，attracted“吸引”符合题意，故为答案。考生需要注意的是，本句中的schemes并不是“计划，规划”的意思，而是“阴谋，诡计”。
