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【C1】______Bill Gates, Microsoft’s founder, has retired to give away his billions. The "Wintel" couple(short for "Windows" and "Intel")are【C2】______seen as yesterday’s, tyrants. Rumors【C3】______that a coup is brewing to oust Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s current boss.

【C2】
选项
答案
G
解析
副词辨析题。第一句用比喻的手法指出微软和英特尔 过去的形象;第二句用。But引起转折,表明近年来它们的形象发生了变 化。空格所在句总结上文,意为“‘Wintel’联盟——被看作昔日霸主。”根据句子结构可知,空格处需要一个副词修饰被动结构are seen。 而结合第二句中的in recent years和现在完成时态,此空格副词应与 “逐渐变化”意思相关,备选项increasingly“逐渐地,日益”符合原文意思。
