问题     So why is Google suddenly so interested in robots? That’s the question everyone’s asking after it emerged this month that the internet giant has quietly collected a portfolio of eight advanced-robotics firms. Google is【C1】________the venture as partly a long term "moonshot" project-the name【C2】________to its more bizarre or【C3】________ideas, such as its self-driving car or broadband via high-altitude balloons. But it also says it aims to【C4】________a batch of robotics products in the【C5】________term and it has a "10-year vision" of where the company is【C6】________.
    Based in the US and Japan, the new acquisitions make【C7】________products, ranging from walking humanoids (human-like Robots), to assembly robots, machine-vision systems and robotic special-effects movie cameras.
    The【C8】________of technologies that Google has acquired doesn’t point to【C9】________one type of robot being developed, says Chris Melhuish. "These technologies could【C10】________anything from a smart bed to a wheeled home-assistant robot for elderly people."
    But Will Jackson thinks Google will use its【C11】________in search engines to allow people to find【C12】________faster in shopping malls and airports. "You would never go over and talk to a touch screen,【C13】________if a mechanical person talks to you and makes eye【C14】________and smiles it’s very hard indeed not to talk【C15】________. Google knows all about our【C16】________and market preferences al-ready. A robot would be a good【C17】________for that information."
    Google’s moves are【C18】________of how robotics is changing, says Scott Eckert. "The robotics industry is in the early stages of a【C19】________from a primarily industrial market to a dynamic technology sector," he says. "This is an exciting industry with a【C20】________future."  
【C18】
选项 A、indicative
B、aware
C、capable
D、characteristic
答案A
解析 空格所在句的主语Google’s moves指代上文的谷歌收购8家先进机器人技术公司后拟将机器人技术应用到各个新领域的行动，空格后面用of引出机器人技术正经历变化，可推测这里指谷歌的举动预示机器人技术变化方向，故选A项indicative“预示的”。be aware of¨意识到”，主语通常是人。be capable of“能…的”代入，句意不通。be characteristic of“特有的”后不接从句。
