Three years ago, California’s rivers and reservoirs were at record low levels. Governor Jerry Brown declared a drought state of【C1】________and called upon all Californians to save water in "every way possible."
Hegel, the director of purchasing for a Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, went to a trade show in search of new ways for his hotel to【C2】________with Brown’s call, and he was attracted by a salesman’s【C3】________. The vendor handed Hegel a test tube【C4】________with white nylon beads half the size of a mint (薄荷糖)and told Hegel that it would not only save him hundreds of thousands of dollars but the environment too. Those "magic beads" were the key【C5】________of an ultra-low water laundry system developed by the U. K. cleaning company Xeros.
The salesman said Xeros washers would【C6】________superior cleaning results compared with conventional washers, while using 50 percent less energy, 50 percent less detergent and 80 percent less water. Hegel was【C7】________, but with thousands of pounds of dirty sheets to wash each week, he decided to give one machine a try.
"After installing the first machine, we found that it【C8】________used 90 percent less water and very little chemicals—and the laundry results were【C9】________," he says. "Our director of housekeeping was ecstatic(欣喜若狂的)."
These new machines look similar to modern washers, but could【C10】________the biggest leap forward in the laundry industry since electric-powered washing machines rendered wringers (衣物绞干机) outdated in the early 20th century.
A) actually F) emergency K) obey
B) claim G) eventually L) represent
C) comply H) filled M) resolve
D) component I) group N) significant
E) deliver J) incredible O) skeptical
【C10】
选项
答案
L
解析
动词辨析题。分析句子结构可知,but连接的后半句缺谓语动词,且空格前有助动词could,空格处应填入动词原形。根据该句前半句可知,这些新型洗衣机与传统洗衣机看起来相似,然后用but进行转折,因此后半句要描述的是新型洗衣机优于传统洗衣机,“代表”洗衣行业最大的进步。结合备选项,L)represent“代表,表示”符合句意,故为答案。
