问题     Any sufficiently advanced technology, noted Arthur C. Clarke, a British science-fiction writer, is indistinguishable from magic. The fast-emerging technology of voice computing proves his【C1】________ Using it is just like casting a spell; say a few words into the air, and a nearby device can【C2】________your wish.
    The Amazon Echo, a voice-driven cylindrical computer that sits on a table top and answers to the name Alexa, can【C3】________music tracks and radio stations, tell jokes, answer questions and control smart【C4】________; even before Christmas it was already resident in about 4％ of American households. Voice assistants are【C5】________in smartphones, too; Apple’s Siri【C6】________over 2 billion commands a week, and 20％ of Google【C7】________on Android powered handsets in America are input by voice. Dictating e-mails and text messages now works【C8】________enough to be useful. Why type when you can talk?
    This is a huge shift. Simple【C9】________it may seem, voice has the power to transform computing, by providing a natural means of interaction. Windows, icons and menus, and then touchscreens, were welcomed as more【C10】________ways to deal with computers than entering complex keyboard【C11】________But being able to talk to computers【C12】________the need for the abstraction of a " user interface" at all.【C13】________mobile phones were more than existing phones without wires, and cars were more than carriages without horses, so computers without screens and keyboards have the【C14】________to be more useful and powerful than people can imagine today.
    Voice will not wholly【C15】________other forms of input and output. Sometimes it will remain more【C16】________to converse with a machine by typing rather than talking. But voice is destined to【C17】________a growing share of people’s interactions with the technology around them, from washing machines that tell you how much of the cycle they have left to virtual assistants in corporate call-centres.【C18】________,to reach its full potential, the technology requires【C19】________breakthroughs—and a resolution of the【C20】________questions it raises around the trade-off between convenience and privacy.
【C10】
选项 A、intuitive
B、difficult
C、abstract
D、private
答案A
解析 形容词辨析题。A项intuitive本能的，直觉的；B项困难的；C项抽象的；D项私人的。本空more________ways与下文entering complex keyboard________形成对比。故该空填入的形容词应该与下文的complex“复杂的”一词形成对比，互为反义关系。A项intuitive表示“直觉的，直观的”，“直观的”与“复杂的”可以形成反义替换，该项正确。故答案为A项。
