The whole world put attention to the South Asia where the tsunami happened. Before, musicians produced a "sonic tsunami", Wall Sheet analysts【C1】______ "tsunamis" of bad earnings news and Japanese restaurants served "tsunami" sushi rolls. The word was used in dozens of different【C2】______ , but now it likely will appear with just one tragic meaning.
Because of the South Asian tsunami disaster that has killed more than 150,000 people, the Word assumes a(n)【C3】______ solemn use, much the way "Ground Zero", for the site of the World Trade Center, had its meaning【C4】______ from "starting point" to the center of the Sept. 11 tragedy, said Paul Payack, head of Global Language Monitor. Payack said that since the Dec. 26 tsunami, the【C5】______ word has appeared more than 18.5 million times and been the subject of 88.000 articles in major media.
"Before Sept. 11, 2001, the term ground zero was a business cliche meaning starting point, especially when【C6】______ a project over again as in ’going back to ground zero’. That term now represents what many consider to be hallowed ground and its old usage is rarely【C7】______ ," he said.
"In the same manner, we envision that the word tsunami will be the subject of considerable discretion before being used in anything other than a most【C8】______ manner," he said. Payack said thousands of【C9】______ teams around the world use tsunami into their names, like the Tsunami Aquatics Swim team of Livermore, California.
He said there are also some 10,000 products called tsunami, like Tsunami Point-to-Point Wireless Bridges, Tsunami Multimedia Speakers and Tsunami Image Processors. Newspaper headline writers also liked the【C10】______ word, as the Detroit News’ "Ford Releases a Tsunami of New Products" and "Heading for the presidency on a tsunami of visions" in London’s The Times.
[A] colorful [I] foolish

[H] beginning
【C8】
选项
答案
C
解析
该空格前为最高级的标志词most,之后为名词manner,因此空格处应选多音节形容词。原句意为“海啸这个词在被用于最______的情况之外时,将值得慎重考虑”,因此所选形容词应带有“严肃的,严重的”的含义,C(严重的)最适合。
