While people are used to seeing deals at Amazon, the present【C2】______is unusually deep. The booksellers’ newsletter Shelf Awareness【C3】______a rare Saturday issue about them, writing that the discounts were at "levels we’ve never seen in the history of Amazon." And according to Jack Mckeown, president of Books & Books Westhampton Beach in New York, it is an open【C4】______of war against the industry.
Amazon has just announced that it will add 7,000 jobs—2,000 of those seasonal—at its regional shipping and customer service centers. The company says its workers make 30% more than traditional retail【C5】______.

Can President Obama be a friend to independent booksellers and the online retailer at the same time? He’s been【C9】______at independent bookstores Prairie Lights in Iowa City and Bunch of Grapes in Martha’s Vineyard.

A)trimming B)retail C)evidently D)aggressive
E)staff F)promote G)misguided H)motivation
I)quest J)delivered K)declaration L)reckon
M)photographed N)enthusiastic O)faithfully [br] 【C6】
选项
答案
O
解析
空格位于不定式to和动词shop之间,据此可判断空格应为副词。词库中有两个副词,evidently“明显地,显然”和faithfully“忠诚地”,代入句中faithfully更符合句意,表明奥巴马总统总是去独立店买书,而不是在网上购书。
