Bargain book shoppers must have been pleased looking at Amazon’s bestseller list this weekend: The online bookseller had dropped prices on some of its top-selling hardcovers, as much as 64% off【C1】______. 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】______.
President Obama, who is known to【C6】______shop at independent bookstores when given the chance, has angered the American Booksellers Association with a planned appearance Tuesday at an Amazon warehouse. ABA Chief Executive Oren Teicher stated that the appearance is "greatly【C7】______," as he wrote in an open letter to the president because Amazon has caused a net loss of jobs, while President Obama’s goal is to【C8】______his plan for a stronger economy.
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. The next time he shows up to shop for books, they may have some words for him, which may be less than【C10】______.
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
【C8】
选项
答案
F
解析
不定式标记to提示这里需填入动词原形。for a stronger economy表明该动词应含积极意义。promote填入文中句子通顺,表示奥巴马总统的目标是推广振兴经济的计划,这与前面分句提到的“奥巴马总统要到造成工作岗位减少的亚马逊参观”形成对比关系(while)。词库中quest“探索”的宾语通常是“未知的”方案,故排除。
