问题     Li-Fi, an alternative to Wi-Fi that transmits data using the spectrum of visible light, has achieved a new breakthrough, with UK scientists reporting transmission speeds of lOGbitfe—more than 250 times faster than ’superfast’ broadband. The fastest speed【C1】________reported was 3Gbit/s, achieved earlier this year in Germany. Chinese researchers also claimed this month to have【C2】________a 150Mbp/s connection, but some experts were doubtful without seeing further【C3】________.
    The term Li-Fi was【C4】________by Edinburgh University’s Prof Harald Haas【C5】________the technology is also known as visible light communications (VLC). Many experts claim that Li-Fi represents the future of mobile internet【C6】________ its reduced costs and greater efficiency compared to traditional Wi-Fi. Both Wi-Fi and Li-Fi transmit data【C7】________ the electromagnetic spectrum, but【C8】________Wi-Fi utilizes radio waves, Li-Fi uses visible light. This is a【C9】________ advantage in that the visible light is far more plentiful than the radio spectrum (10,000 times more in fact) and can achieve far greater data【C10】________Li-Fi signals work by【C11】________bulbs on and off【C12】________quickly—too quickly to be noticed by the human eye. This most recent breakthrough builds upon this by using tiny micro-LED bulbs to【C13】________several lines of data in parallel. The research was carried out by the Ultra Parallel Visible Light Communications project, and funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
    Existing LED light bulbs could be【C14】________to transmit Li-Fi signals with a single microchip, and the technology would also be of use in situations where radio frequencies cannot be used for fear of【C15】________with electronic circuit. And although Li-Fi bulbs would have to be kept on to transmit data, the bulbs could be【C16】________to the point that they were not visible to humans and yet still【C17】________. One draw-back is that the data receiver would have to be in sight of the transmitter-bulb as visible light does not【C18】________solid materials.
    The makers of Li-Fi note that this quality might actually be an advantage in some【C19】________making Li-Fi more【C20】________than Wi-Fi with hackers unable to access unsecured internet connections from out of sight of the transmitter.
【C13】
选项 A、stream
B、move
C、stir
D、float
答案A
解析 空格需要填入能与several lines of data搭配的谓语动词。上一句提到了Li-Fi信号是如何实现传输的，本句顺接上文，表明利用微小的LED灯泡来实现。A项stream有“照射”的意思，与lines of data搭配指传送数据，因为data的传输靠的就是灯泡照射出来的光线。B项move“移动”、C项stir“搅动”及D项float“浮动”都是表示具体动作，无法与Li-Fi信号及数据这样的抽象名词对应，语义上也不符合空格前后的逻辑。
