填空题

For the most part, observers are (3) the operating system's long term prospects, but expect it to remain on (4) rather than desktops during 1994, saying that it won't become a mainstream product until (5) PCs typically have 16 to 24 MB of RAM, which is unlikely to happen next year. 供选择的答案: (1) applications (2) accepted (3) clients (4) enthusiastic (5) servers (6) desktop (7) systems (8) replaced
【答案解析】因为Windows NT是一个操作系统,属于系统软件,因此选(7)。 [参考译文]在系统软件中,最近广受关注的一个问题是,去年夏天开始出售的Windows NT将以多快的速度让市场接受,以及它会起什么作用。大部分观察者对该操作系统的长远前景表示出热情,但预料在1994年间它主要用于服务器而不是台式机。他们说,在典型的台式机有16MB到24MB内存之前,它不会成为主流产品,而这在明年不太可能。 该句是一个一般将来时的被动语态,因此只能在(2)和(8)之间选择。replace的意思是“代替,取代”,accept的意思是“接受”。根据句意,选(2)。 be enthusiastic about sth.的意思是“对某事热心”,因此只能选(4)。 根据desktops可以推断这里应该填(5)。 根据but expect it to remain on servers rather than desktops可以推断这里应该填(6)。
