They were the Macbeths of information technology: a wicked couple who seized power and abused it in bloody and greedy ways. But in recent years, the story has【S1】______Bill Gates, Microsoft’s founder, has retired to give away his billions. The "Wintel" couple (short for "Windows" and "Intel") are【S2】______seen as yesterday’s tyrants. Rumors【S3】______that a coup is brewing to oust Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s current boss.
Yet there is life in the old technologists.

Accordingly,【S6】______for Windows and PC chips, which flagged during the global recession, has【S7】______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)【S8】______$2.9 billion.
So now is a good time to take stock of IT’s most hated power couple.

选项
答案
L
解析
名词辨析题。空格处应填入名词与for引导的介词短语共同构成整个句子的主语。在备选名词中,demand和desire可以与for搭配。根据上句可知,80%多的个人电脑仍然在“Wintel”标准上运行。由此可知,此处应为“对Windows和电脑芯片的需求”,故demand符合句意。
