Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.

Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

Questions __26__ to __35__ are based on the following passage.

问题实际上基于以下段落。

America's Internet is faster than ever before, but people still complain about their Internet being too slow.

美国的互联网比以往任何时候都快，但人们仍然抱怨他们的网速太慢。

New York's Attorney General's office __26__ an investigation in the fall into whether or not Verizon, Cablevision and Time Warner are delivering broadband that's as fast as the providers __27__ it is. Earlier this month, the office asked for the public's help to measure their speed results, saying consumers __28__ to get the speeds they were promised. "Too many of us may be paying for one thing, and getting another," the Attorney General said.

纽约总检察长办公室在秋季对Verizon、Cablevision和Time Warner是否提供了与供应商声称速度一样快的宽带展开了调查。本月初，该办公室请求公众帮助测量他们的速度结果，称消费者抱怨无法获得他们承诺的速度。"我们中太多人可能付钱买一样东西，却得到另一样，"总检察长说。

If the investigation uncovers anything, it wouldn't be the first time a telecom provider got into __29__ over the broadband speeds it promised and delivered customers. Back in June, the Federal Communications Commission fined AT&T $ 100 million over __30__ that the carrier secretly reduced wireless speeds after customers consumed a certain amount of __31__.

如果调查揭露了什么，这将不是电信供应商第一次因承诺和提供给客户的宽带速度而陷入麻烦。早在6月，联邦通信委员会就对AT&T罚款1亿美元，因为指控该运营商在客户消耗一定数据量后秘密降低了无线速度。

Even when they stay on the right side of the law, Internet providers arouse customers' anger over bandwidth speed and cost. Just this week, an investigation found that media and telecom giant Comcast is the most __32__ provider. Over 10 months, Comcast received nearly 12,000 customer complaints, many __33__ to its monthly data cap and overage (超过额度的) charges.

即使他们遵守法律，互联网供应商也会因带宽速度和成本引发客户愤怒。就在本周，一项调查发现媒体和电信巨头Comcast是最令人讨厌的供应商。在10个月内，Comcast收到了近12,000起客户投诉，许多投诉涉及其月度数据上限和超额收费。

Some Americans are getting so __34__ with Internet providers they're just giving up. A recent study found that the number of Americans with high-speed Internet at home today __35__ fell during the last two years, and 15% of people now consider themselves to be "cord-cutters."

一些美国人对互联网供应商感到如此沮丧，以至于他们干脆放弃。最近一项研究发现，如今在家使用高速互联网的美国人数量在过去两年中实际上下降了，15%的人现在自认为是"cord-cutters"。

逐空答案与解析
26.
答案 J
解析此处需要一个动词，表示纽约州检察长办公室开始进行调查的动作。根据上下文，'an investigation' 暗示了调查的开始，因此选择 'Launched'。
27.
答案 C
解析此处需要一个名词，表示宽带服务提供商所声称的网速。根据上下文，'delivering broadband that's as fast as the providers it is' 暗示了提供商声称的网速，因此选择 'Claim'。
28.
答案 G
解析空格处需要一个动词，"consumers __28__ to get the speeds they were promised"。结合下文检察长"Too many of us may be paying for one thing, and getting another"，此处表达消费者本应得到承诺的网速，选G Deserved（"deserved to get the speeds they were promised"，应当/理应得到承诺的网速）。E Complain"complain to get"语义不通，排除。
29.
答案 M
解析此处需要一个名词，表示电信提供商因未能提供承诺的宽带速度而面临的法律问题。根据上下文，'got into __29__ over the broadband speeds it promised and delivered customers' 暗示了提供商遇到的法律问题，因此选择 'Trouble'。
30.
答案 A
解析此处需要一个名词，表示AT&T因某种行为而被罚款。根据上下文，'the carrier secretly reduced wireless speeds after customers consumed a certain amount of data'暗示了AT&T因与数据使用量相关的指控而被罚款，因此选择'Accusations'（指控）。

33.
答案 K
解析空格处需现在分词，"nearly 12,000 customer complaints, many __33__ to its monthly data cap and overage charges"。"relating to"意为"与……有关"，即许多投诉与其月度数据上限和超额费用有关，故选K Relating。D Communicating"communicating to its data cap"语义不通，排除。
34.
答案 H
解析此处需要一个形容词，表示一些美国人对互联网服务提供商极度不满的状态。根据上下文，'getting so frustrated with Internet providers'（对互联网服务提供商感到非常沮丧）符合语义，表达对美国网络服务的不满。
35.
