问题     Politicians beware. Software can examine legislative bills, working out the【C1】________of the text. It could allow voters to see who【C2】________determines what goes into bills.
    There is a long history of companies and other vested interests【C3】________legislation by lobbying (游说) politicians. So researchers at the University of Chicago’s Data Science for Social Good programme have created the Legislative Influence Detector. This traces the text of US bills, searching for passages that have been cribbed (抄袭) from lobbyists or the legislatures of other states.
    To get the real story behind a bill, the software【C4】________through 500000 state bills, as well as thousands of pieces of text drafted by lobbyist groups that were saved into a database. An algorithm (运算程序) then calculates the top 100 documents most【C5】________to the bill in question before examining each one more closely, searching for passages the two have in common.
    The software can turn up lines of text【C6】________written by activists and special interest groups. Or it might find that the bill borrows largely from laws already in place elsewhere, giving【C7】________citizens the chance to explore how the policy worked out there.
    The detector is the latest in a string of projects that try to use computers to hold governments to【C8】________.

Li envisions a final platform that can scan through the transcript of a speech or presidential debate, picking out the lines that we already know to be true or false so journalists can work on【C10】________more complicated claims.
    A) account    F) digs         K) remarks
    B) actually   G) exactly      L) sees
    C) checking   H) influencing  M) similar
    D) concerned  I) originally   N) source
    E) curious    J) relevant     O) statements [br] 【C9】
选项
答案 O
解析 名词辨析题。该空格位于定冠词the和介词of之间，由此推断应填入名词。空格所在段落的第三句中提及科学家想要创建一个平台能够浏览演讲稿或总统竞选辩论的文本以及研究政治家们的公开言论，由此可知答案为O项statements“陈述，声明”。
