    In a classroom at American University in Washington D.C., the benefits and【C2】______of the new wireless work were on display. From the back row of a lecture hall, more than a dozen laptop screens were【C3】______. As Professor Jay Mallek lectured on the finer points of an office budget, many students went online to surf the Internet. Students write quick e-mails and send instant messages. A young man shows an amusing e-mail to the women next to him, and then switches over to read the online edition of The Wall Street Journal. Distraction is nothing【C4】______.

A)visible I)new
B)threat J)demonstrates
C)possible K)larger
D)opposes L)differently
E)obstacle M)challenge
F)especially N)arrival
G)broader O)advantages
H)drawbacks [br] 【C5】
选项
答案 N
解析 根据空前的定冠词the可知，此处应填名词，作of所属结构的中心词，因此B)threat、E)obstacle、N)arrival和O)advantages待选。前文提到，笔记本电脑被带进课堂，而本句的句意为：笔记本电脑的 为注意力分散提供了新的机会。本题的强干扰项是O)advantages。由于全文讲的是笔记本电脑的出现对于课堂教学造成的影响，并未侧重于它的优势，所以排除。故答案为N)arrival(到达，到来)。
