On April 4th the giant social network【C1】______Home, a new software that is designed to give it more prominence on mobile phones powered by Android, an operating system developed by Google.

Without a robust mobile【C3】______, Facebook could see some of its users attracted by rivals born in the mobile era. And it could miss out on a【C4】______massive source of new revenue.

A phone using Home will also notify you when your friends are doing something new, as well as alerting you to new data from other apps. Another feature is a tool called "Chat Heads" that【C10】______Facebook’s message system with a phone’s regular SMS message offering. This means messages pop up on the home screen along with the sender’s profile picture, which is enclosed in a small circle.
A)alienating I)potentially
B)assumption J)presence
C)attendance K)reckons
D)combines L)revenues
E)converts M)speculation
F)dedicated N)uncovered
G)deliberate O)unveiled
H)equivalently [br] 【C4】
选项
答案 I
解析 空格位于形容词massive之前，故应填入一个副词。根据上下文可知，此处句意为“而且它可能错失新税收的重要来源”。potentially“可能地”与文意相符，故为答案。备选副词中，H)equivalently意为“相当地”，与文意不符，故排除。
