问题     The robotics revolution is set to bring humans face to face with an old fear—man-made creations as smart and capable as we are but without a moral compass. As robots take on ever more complex roles, the question naturally【C1】______: Who will be responsible when they do something wrong? Manufacturers? Users? Software writers? The answer depends on the robot.
    Robots already save us time, money and energy. In the future, they will improve our health care, social welfare and standard of living. The【C2】______of computational power and engineering advances will【C3】______enable lower-cost in-home care for the disabled,【C4】______use of driverless cars that may reduce drunk- and distracted-driving accidents and countless home and service-industry uses for robots, from street cleaning to food preparation.
    But there are【C5】______to be problems. Robot cars will crash. A drone(遥控飞行器)operator will【C6】______someone’s privacy. A robotic lawn mower will run over a neighbor’s cat. Juries sympathetic to the【C7】______of machines will punish entrepreneurs with company-crushing【C8】______and damages. What should governments do to protect people while【C9】______space for innovation?
    Big, complicated systems on which much public safety depends, like driverless cars, should be built,【C10】______and sold by manufacturers who take responsibility for ensuring safety and are liable for accidents. Governments should set safety requirements and then let insurers price the risk of the robots based on the manufacturer’s driving record, not the passenger’s.
A)arises I)manifesting
B)ascends J)penalties
C)bound K)preserving
D)combination L)programmed
E)definite M)proximately
F)eventually N)victims
G)interfere O)widespread
H)invade [br] 【C3】
选项
答案 F
解析 该空格位于情态动词will之后，动词原形enable之前，由此推断可填入副词。本句的含义为：在计算能力和工程技术进步的共同作用下，——产生了某种效果。结合备选副词，答案显然为eventually“最后，终于”。备选项中的proximately“近似地，临近地”与上下文语义不符，故排除。
