Houses are (2)_____ light-flooded, sparse and vaguely Asian in (3)_____, with perhaps a Zen fountain in one corner, a Yoga area in another. Or they resemble electronic control rooms with all sorts of (4)_____, computers, routers, antennae, screens and remote controls. Occasionally, both elements are (5)_____. "She" may have the living room and public areas, (6)_____ "he" is banished with his toys up or down the stairs.
Currently, the gadget lovers have powerful allies. Many of the largest companies in the consumer-electronics, computer, telecoms and internet industries have made a strategic decision to (7)_____ visions of a "digital home", "eHome", or "connected home". Doubting that (8)_____ from corporate customers will ever (9)_____ to the boom levels of the late 1990s, Microsoft, Intel, Sony, Verizon, Comcast, Hewlett-Packard, Apple and others see the consumer (10)_____ their best chance for growth and will be throwing a bewildering (11)_____ of home "solutions" at (12)_____ in the coming months and years.

(16)_____ cosy and often intimidating, these feature flat screens almost everywhere, (17)_____ electronic picture frames in the bedroom from the large TV-substitute in the living room.

选项
A、theirs
B、them
C、his
D、him
答案
D
解析
theirs他(她)们的东西、them(用作宾语)他们,她们;它们、his(he的所有格)他的、him(he的宾格)他。本题是一道词汇题,考查正确使用代词的能力。本句话的后半部分的含义是:"…其他公司(others)把消费者(the consumer)看作它们发展的最佳时机并将把一系列的家庭方案提给消费者(him=the consumer)"。由此可以推导出本题的正确答案应该是"him"。"him"指代的是其前面单数形式的名词"the consumer"(消费者)一词。
