The New York Times has become the biggest publisher yet to set out plans for a paywall around its digital offering,【C1】______ the accepted practice that internet users will not pay for news.
Struggling with an evaporation of advertising and a downward drift in street corner sales, The New York Times intends to introduce a "metered" model at the beginning of 2011. Readers will be required to pay when they have【C2】______ a set number of its online articles per month.
The decision puts the 159-year-old newspaper on the charging side of an【C3】______ wide chasm (鸿沟 ) in the media industry. But others, including the Guardian, have said they will not【C4】______ internet readers.

选项
答案
I
解析
空格所在句主谓宾结构完整,故需填入及物动词的分词形式,作伴随状语。空格前说《纽约时报》着手制定对电子新闻产品收费的计划,空格后说现行的习惯做法(the accepted practice)是互联网为用户提供免费新闻,可见它要“放弃”这种习惯做法,abandoning“放弃”符合句意。
