问题 "Data", runs a common refrain, "is the new oil." Like the sticky black stuff that【C1】______of the ground, all those 1s and 0s are of little use until they are processed into something more valuable. That something is you.
Seven of the world’s ten most【C2】______companies by market capitalization are technology firms. 【C3】______Apple, which makes money by selling pricey gadgets, and Microsoft, which charges businesses for its【C4】______and services, all are built on a foundation of【C5】______ data to human beings. Google and Facebook want to find out as much as it is possible to know about their【C6】______interests, activities, friends and family. Amazon has a detailed history of consumer behavior. Tencent and Alibaba are the digital wallets for hundreds of millions of Chinese; both know enough about【C7】______to provide widely used credit scores.
That data are valuable is【C8】______well-understood by individuals, too, not least because personal information is so often hacked, leaked or stolen. India’ s database has been shown to be vulnerable to scammers and state abuse. Facebook has spent most of 2018【C9】______the reputational damage of multiple breaches, most notably via Cambridge Analytica, a consulting firm. The list of other companies that have【C10】______some sort of data breach in 2018 alone reads like a roll call of household names: Google, Marriott, Delta, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Best Buy, Sears, Saks 5th Avenue, even Panera Bread. Such events have caused a tectonic shift in the public understanding of data collection. People have started to take notice of all the data they are giving away.
A) Excluding         B) users’               C) comes out         D) tying
E) suffered            F) valuable            G) dealing with      H) software
I) increasingly       J) consumers         K) rises from         L) good
M) unlike             N) linking             O) beginning [br] 【C3】
选项
答案 A
解析 前文提到7家公司，然后接下来的内容提到了苹果和微软公司并不是所谓的科技公司，上下文为转折关系，下文是上文的特殊情况，故单词exclude所表示的逻辑关系符合。excluding为现在分词作状语，放句首。故选excluding。
