   "Heavy-robot manufacturers are in some difficulty  【23】______ finding customers. They are offering big  【24】______ just to get in the door. There has been a  【25】______ growth everywhere in the numbers of robots, so we admit we are either deceiving  【26】______ or that the market is slowly growing." said John Reekie, chairman of Colen Robotics.

选项 A、tools
B、robots
C、equipment
D、electronics

答案B

解析考查上下文理解。由前面一句可知，此句中的the big companies指的就是大的机器人制造公司，因此其产品肯定就是机器人，选B 。tool工具；equipment设备；electronics电子设备，电子学。尽管它们有时可以用来指机器人，但不如B 具体。
