We can’t come to the (8)_____ right now. If you want us to call you back, please leave your name and number after the beep." Then you will hear a "beep", (9)_____ is a brief, high-pitched (10)_____.

选项 A、topics
B、things
C、arguments
D、concerns
答案A
解析 语义衔接题。单纯从本句来看，很难确定正确选项，真正帮助做出正确选择的是本句后面的句子：…if you want information on Topic A，another button for Topic B，and so on．(…如果你想获得关于A话题的信息，另一个按键则是有关B话题的信息，如此类推)。从后面的提示中可以推出，这里是说一些大公司及政府机构使用录音电话来提供某些话题的信息，因此正确选项是topics。thing意为"事情，情况"，argument意为"争论，争辩"，concern意为"关切，有利害关系"，这三个词与上下文无语义衔接关系。
