【C5】

选项 A、remarkably
B、essentially
C、specially
D、particularly

答案D

解析 本空格前后的句子含义是汽车正在失去对人们的吸引力,特别是针对年轻人的群体,因为这个群体更热衷于购买最新型的电子设备。在获取了这个逻辑思路之后,就要区别四个选项的含义了: [A]remarkably(明显地), [B]essentially(本质上地), [C]specially(专门地,特意地), [D]particularly(特别地)。选项[C]是强干扰项。particularly往往着重说明与同类事物不同的个别事物;而specially多表示“专门地”“为特别目的地”,如“不寻常”“过分”等,可与especially通用。例如:I made chocolate cake specially for you.(我特地为你做了巧克力蛋糕。)本题的句意显然是所有年龄段的人相比较,而年轻人在这方面尤为突出。故答案为[D]。
