1、[Ri]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：空格前说的是谷歌的一项新的音乐服务措施在旧金山举行的网络开发

者年会上公之于众。通过比较，C句所说的与会代表还听说谷歌地图服务方面有重

大的更新，正好是对上文年会内容的延伸。

2、[R2]

标准答案：E

知识点解析：空格前说的是使用安卓操作系统，用户可以把谷歌音乐库中的音乐下

载到任何设备中。通过比较，E句所说的用户能够先搜索艺术家，再将其名下的音

标准答案：A

知识点角]析：空格前说的是在美国，谷歌音乐服务在免费试用30天后的价格是

9.99美元/月，而SpotifyPremium的类似服务也是9.99美元/月。通过比较,

A句所说的6月30日前订购的用户将享受7.99美元/月的折后价，正好是对谷

歌音乐服务价格的进一步解说。

4、[R4]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：空格前一段所说的谷歌音乐服务的价格在其它国家和地区还没有宣

布，但谷歌已和多家音乐公司签了协议，周三起便有数百万的歌曲供用户下载。B

句所说的由于苹果公司也开始考虑自己的音乐服务，谷歌于是将这些提升音乐服务

的举措公之于众，很好地承接了上文。

5、[R5]

标准答案：H

知识点解析：空格前说GeoffTaylor非常欣赏谷歌公布的这些音乐服务措施。H句

是Geoff的原话，他认为流式传输在英国数码音乐界增长最快，而空格后面紧接着

此最符合上下文情景。

6、[R6]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：空格前说的是谷歌公布的这些音乐服务措施受到了旧金山开发者们的

热烈欢迎。D句所说的他们早上5点就排队等候参加门票已预售一空的由谷歌举行

的网络开发者年会。正好是对上文的补充。

7、[R7]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：空格前说9亿多应用安卓系统的设备已被激活，而紧接着G句乂说

48。亿安卓的应用程序已被安装到世界各地。通过比较，G句最符合要求。

8、[R8]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：空格前主要讲谷歌地图服务的更新，它将注重地图的人性化使用，凸

显人们访问频率高的地点，并对其它地点给出建议。地图会随着人们的使用随时更

新。点击一个博物馆，同一地区的其他博物馆也会显现出来，并且使用者的照片也

会呈现在地图上。F句这些新功能将会在接下来的;I个月广泛应用，正是对上文的

总结。
