问题     Amazon today unveiled Dash Buttons, an easy way for customers to【C1】______select bulk goods【C2】______an internet-connected button, and yesterday【C3】______Home Services, an on-demand installation and handyman service. Combined, they show that the e-commerce giant has a clear understanding of how the Internet-of-things will【C4】______its business. And it isn’t going to be shy about capitalizing on connectivity to build its bottom line. Dash Buttons are an adaptation of Amazon’ s【C5】______-controlled Dash ordering system that lets people speak to order new【C6】______items.
    So【C7】______Amazon has is a retrofit strategy for connecting smart appliances to its e-commerce operations and a future-facing strategy for the coming flood of【C8】______devices. And all of this is geared around making buying products from Amazon as easy as possible.     The【C9】______of one-button tasks are appealing,【C10】______it could lead to a【C11】______of packages ending up at people’s doors if Amazon doesn’t try to【C12】______waste on its end, by grouping shipments together when possible. People on Twitter seem mostly【C13】______about pets and small children playing with the Dash Buttons and ordering multiples of their Kraft Macaroni and Cheese boxes, although Amazon notes that【C14】______the button is pressed more than once, the order doesn’ t go【C15】______on the second time, and you’ll get a smartphone notification about it.
    Amazon also recently launched Home Services, following up on last year’ s opening of a home automation e-store devoted to connected gadgets for the home—many of which require a【C16】______installer. So now Amazon can sell these devices along with the person who can install them. It also is【C17】______on maintenance, via a network of service providers that it can call【C18】______for its network of suppliers or for its own planned connected home play.
    With Dash, it’s【C19】______an offensive play to【C20】______up more sales as devices come online. With Amazon Home Services, it’ s making a defensive play as other large companies try to become more vertically integrated.
【C3】
选项 A、published
B、launched
C、announced
D、released
答案B
解析 本句Amazon today unveiled Dash Buttons…and yesterday 3 Home Services…，and表示顺接，可见这是一个对称结构，此处需要填一个与unveiled意思相近的词。veil意为“面纱”，unveil即“揭开……的面纱，使公之于众”，结合上下文可知此处表“发行，发布”之意。publish多指出版发行文字作品，也指通过报刊或其他媒介发布新闻等；launch专指向公众推出、发布新产品，也指火箭、卫星等发射；announce多指首次宣布大家感兴趣或可满足大家好奇心的事情；release多用于发布信息、数据、新闻等。因此选B．launched。倒数第二段Amazon also recently launched Home Services也有提示。
