Levi Strauss was born in Germany, and【C1】______to America when young. In 1853 he took his dreams to San Francisco. There his dream, to succeed【C2】______true.
Many of Levi Strauss’【C3】______were cowboys and miners,【C4】______needed clothing that was【C5】______and durable. Strauss found a【C6】______fabric that was comfortable and lasted a long time,【C7】______"serge de Nimes," which was later【C8】______to the word denim.
Jacob Davis, a【C9】______, bought large mounts of the denim fabric from Levi Strauss. One of his customers was【C10】______tearing the pockets【C11】______his pants. So Jacob Davis decided to put rivets (铆钉) on【C12】______parts of the pants to make them stronger. The customer【C13】______the new pants【C14】______much that he told all his Mends, and soon Jacob Davis was busy【C15】______pants with rivets.
Jacob Davis【C16】______that using rivets was a great business idea, and he didn’t want anybody to【C17】______that. He decided to get a patent (专利权). But【C18】______poor, he couldn’t【C19】______the patent. So he went to Levi Strauss. He said, "If you agree to pay for the patent, we will【C20】______the profits." Levi Strauss agreed, and the new business was born. Today Levi’s name is more popular than before. [br] 【C8】
选项
A、changed
B、varied
C、shortened
D、replaced
答案
C
解析
我们细心观察就会发现这种布料前后两个名字之间是有一定关系的。denim其实是de Nimes的简化缩写,因此,本题最贴切的选择就是shorten。change有一定的迷惑性,但用在这里不够确切。
