问题     Li-Fi, an alternative to Wi-Fi that transmits data using the spectrum of visible light, has achieved a new breakthrough, with UK scientists reporting transmission speeds of lOGbitfe—more than 250 times faster than ’superfast’ broadband. The fastest speed【C1】________reported was 3Gbit/s, achieved earlier this year in Germany. Chinese researchers also claimed this month to have【C2】________a 150Mbp/s connection, but some experts were doubtful without seeing further【C3】________.
    The term Li-Fi was【C4】________by Edinburgh University’s Prof Harald Haas【C5】________the technology is also known as visible light communications (VLC). Many experts claim that Li-Fi represents the future of mobile internet【C6】________ its reduced costs and greater efficiency compared to traditional Wi-Fi. Both Wi-Fi and Li-Fi transmit data【C7】________ the electromagnetic spectrum, but【C8】________Wi-Fi utilizes radio waves, Li-Fi uses visible light. This is a【C9】________ advantage in that the visible light is far more plentiful than the radio spectrum (10,000 times more in fact) and can achieve far greater data【C10】________Li-Fi signals work by【C11】________bulbs on and off【C12】________quickly—too quickly to be noticed by the human eye. This most recent breakthrough builds upon this by using tiny micro-LED bulbs to【C13】________several lines of data in parallel. The research was carried out by the Ultra Parallel Visible Light Communications project, and funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
    Existing LED light bulbs could be【C14】________to transmit Li-Fi signals with a single microchip, and the technology would also be of use in situations where radio frequencies cannot be used for fear of【C15】________with electronic circuit. And although Li-Fi bulbs would have to be kept on to transmit data, the bulbs could be【C16】________to the point that they were not visible to humans and yet still【C17】________. One draw-back is that the data receiver would have to be in sight of the transmitter-bulb as visible light does not【C18】________solid materials.
    The makers of Li-Fi note that this quality might actually be an advantage in some【C19】________making Li-Fi more【C20】________than Wi-Fi with hackers unable to access unsecured internet connections from out of sight of the transmitter.
【C2】
选项 A、produced
B、stimulated
C、contributed
D、increased
答案A
解析 上句提到在德国获得的(achieved)最快传输速度是3Gbit／s。本句与上句是顺接关系，继续说明Li-Fi的速度。A项produced“产生”能与后面的网速构成合理的动宾关系与achieved对应。B项stimulated“刺激”，网速不是刺激产生的。C项contributed“贡献，捐助”，常和介词to连用，在此不符合含义。D项increased“提高”虽能与网速构成动宾关系，但句子中没有提供可比较的参照物，所以不涉及网速提高了多少。
