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.
Yet there is life in the old technologists. They still control the two most important standards in【C4】______: Windows, the operating system for most personal computers, and "Intel Architecture," the set of rules governing how software【C5】______with the processor it runs on. More than 80 % of PCs still run on the "Wintel" standard. Accordingly,【C6】______for Windows and PC chips, which flagged during the global recession, has【C7】______So have both firms’ results: to many people’s surprise, Microsoft announced a thumping(巨大的)quarterly profit of $ 4.5 billion in July; Intel earned a(n) 【C8】______$2.9 billion.
So now is a good time to take stock of IT’s most hated power couple. As The Economist went to press, Intel was on track to reach a【C9】______with America’s Federal Trade Commission(FTC), which would in effect end the antitrust woes that have【C10】______both firms. And Microsoft has recently strengthened its ties with ARM, Intel’s new archrival(主要竞争对手). This suggests that the Wintel marriage is crumbling.
A)changed F)impressive K)plagued
B)computing G)increasingly L)recovered
C)consider H)incredibly M)resolution
D)demand I)interacts N)settlement
E)desire J)persist O)various
【C9】
选项
答案
N
解析
名词辨析题。由空格前的to reach a和空格后的介词 with可知,此处需要填入一个名词作动词reach的宾语。从本段第三 句中的And可以看出.第二、三句表达的意思前后一致,由第二句的非 限制性定语从句中end the antitrust woes“结束反垄断的难题”可知,第 三句说微软加强了与ARM的关系,因此,双方应是达成协议。结合备 选名词的词义可知,settlement“协议”符合句意。reach a settlement意 为“达成协议”。
