问题     Could your smartphone prevent a car from hitting you? General Motors and other researchers think that’s a possibility【C1】________an emerging wireless standard works its way into the latest smartphones and new cars.
    First seen in 2010, Wi-Fi Direct【C2】________ultrafast device-to-device connections over the same radio waves that smartphones, computers and other electronics currently use to connect to routers and home networks. The【C3】________here is that unlike your application-enabled television, Wi-Fi Direct doesn’t【C4】________the Internet. Rather, it’s【C5】________connect local devices directly to each other【C6】________as little as a second, and unlike Bluetooth, the connection doesn’t require special pass keys and works at more than double the【C7】________, at about 656 feet apart. GM says future cars could【C8】________pedestrians carrying Wi-Fi Direct smartphones, gather their【C9】________locations and warn the driver through existing active safety systems such as forward collision【C10】________and auto-braking.
    Wi-Fi Direct is one part of GM’s research on vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure【C11】________in which both cars and roadways become【C12】________aware and adaptive to real-time information. More and more automakers, such as BMW and Hyundai, use a subscription-based 3G cell network to connect a car’s information & entertainment system to the Web for things such as【C13】________searches. A few automakers, such as Ford and Audi,【C14】________wireless hotspots that allow full【C15】________to the Internet from any mobile device. By 2015, Ford said it【C16】________80 percent of the vehicles it sells in North America to have a Wi-Fi connection.
    Wi-Fi Direct currently allows file【C17】________between two electronic devices【C18】________having to pair them. If the technology becomes popular and【C19】________it could pull the market away from Bluetooth, the short-range wireless standard for in-car telephone calls and portable audio. With Bluetooth, there isn’t one【C20】________way to connect a device—and many times, as we’ve often found, it still doesn’t work. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly 4,900 pedestrians and cyclists were killed by cars last year, for which data were available.
【C2】

选项 A、promises
B、defines
C、presents
D、disturbs

答案A

解析 该句缺少谓语动词,其主语为Wi-Fi Direct,宾语为ultrafast device-to-device connections,故谓语应体现主语和宾语之间的关系。A项promises意为“保证”,代入后表明能确保实现设备之间的超速连接。B项defines意为“下定义,规定”,但空格后的内容并非对Wi-Fi Direct的定义。C项presents“呈现,赠送”多用于正式的、礼仪性的场合。文章没有线索说明Wi-Fi Direct对通过对设备之间的超速连接造成干扰,排除D项disturbs“干扰”。
