问题     Uber is focusing more funds and firepower on beating local competition in China, with the tax-booking app confirming it has raised $ 1. 2bn in a round that included investment from Chinese search engine Baidu.
    The San Francisco start-up, which has been valued at $ 50bn, raised the additional funding for Uber China shortly after it was reported that local rival Didi Kuaidi had raked in $ 3bn in a recent cash call.
    The fundraising gives Uber China, which is a separate company, a $7bn pre-money valuation, according to a person familiar with the matter.【R6】______.
    Uber confirmed the investment, first reported in an interview with Travis Kalanick, chief executive, on Chinese website Sina.【R7】______
    Uber has dominated the taxi-booking app market in hundreds of cities globally and is expanding beyond ferrying people into also delivering packages. 【R8】______, where many US internet companies, including Google and Amazon, have stumbled.
    Didi Kuaidi, formed from a merger between Didi Dauche and Kuaidi Dauche this year, raised $ 2bn at a valuation of about $ 15bn in July. But the round has not closed and may increase.
    【R9】______Uber says it has about 50 per cent of the taxi-booking market, but Didi Kuaidi says it has 80 per cent.【R10】______by subsidizing trips, with Uber saying it will spend $ 1 bn in China this year.
    Uber had suggested that Uber China could eventually be spun off with its own initial public offering in the country. Mr Kalanick said the San Francisco-based start-up could take investment from a Chinese "national brand".
    Choose the following sentences marked A to E to complete the above article. Mark your answers on the answer sheet.
[A] But it has not yet won the battle for the Chinese market
[B] The round has not closed and could raise hundreds of millions more dollars
[C] It is hard to tell exactly how the Chinese market is divided
[D] Both sides are using their large fundraisings to lure more users
[E] Mr Kalanick did not disclose the other investors in the round
【R8】
选项 A、 
B、 
C、 
D、 
E、 
答案A
解析 该空后的标点是逗号，其后是一个where引导的定语从句——之前谷歌和亚马逊等许多美国互联网公司都在这里栽了跟头，可知填空内容是关于某个地点的。结合前一句提到的“优步在全球上百个城市主导打车应用市场”和上文提到的优步中国，推测本空是关于中国市场的。再结合选项分析，[A]项的“但优步还没有在中国市场胜出”放在此处能使文义畅通。
