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.

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.

A)interacts F)impressive K)incredibly
B)increasingly G)resolution L)demand
C)various H)recovered M)computing
D)persist I)plagued N)settlement
E)desire J)changed O)consider
【C1】
选项
答案
J
解析
动词辨析题。由空格前的has可知,空格处应为动词的过去分词形式。上句指出,a wicked couple是贪婪的,下句中说比尔·盖茨已经退休并捐出了亿万财产,由此可以看出,the couple的形象发生了变化,故changed"变化,改变”符合句意。
