They are thereby shut【C1】______from the world of books and newspapers, having to【C2】______on friends to read aloud to them. A young scientist named Raymond Kurzweil has now designed a computer which is a major【C3】______in providing aid to the【C4】______. His machine, Cyclops, has a camera that【C5】______any page, interprets the print into sounds, and then delivers them orally in a robot-like【C6】______through a speaker. By pressing the appropriate buttons【C7】______Cyclops’s keyboard, a blind person can"read"any【C8】______document in the English language. This remarkable invention represents a tremendous【C9】______forward in the education of the handicapped. At present, Cyclops costs $ 50,000.【C10】______, Mr. Kurzweil and his associates are preparing a smaller【C11】______improved version that will sell【C12】______less than half that price.

"This is the first time that blind people have ever done individual studies【C19】______a product was put on the market," Hingson said.

【C7】
选项 A、on
B、at
C、in
D、from
答案A
解析 词义辨析题。相关考点：介词on在表示地点时总是表现出它的“两维性”“two—dimensional”，即平面性，在桌子上“on the desk”；而in总表现出三维性“three—dimensional”，即立体性，在桌子里“in the desk”。所以“在墙上的一张画”译为：a picture on thewall；“在墙上的一枚钉子”译为：a nail in the wall．
