Answer 1

[体裁]说明文

[话题]科普知识与现代技术

[大意]材料介绍了域名的买卖情况以及 如何@好的域名。

81. name空格后面的pizza.com是一个 域圣，所以该空填name。

82. paid。由空格后面的$20可知该空选 pay ,由时间状语 For the next 14 years 可知动作发生在过去，因此用pay的 过去式paid。

83. bought .由该句中的 from him for $2. 6 million可知该空选buy ,由于动 作发生在过去(2008年) ，所以用buy 的过去式bought。

84. valuable。聪_日另的投资者会努力去预 测将来会“很有价值的”域名。

85. them。该空填them,指代上一句中的 these investors ,因为所填词语在句中 作介词of的宾语，所以用宾格形式。

86. until。该句意思是“他们一直保留着 这些域名，直到它们升值。”

87. rules。下文主要列举了一些起好域名 时应遵循的“法则”，因为是好几条法 则，所以该空填rule的复数形式。

88. like。空格后面的these指代上一句中 的cars,shoes和books。该句意思是 “像这样的单词比较容易记忆”。

89. numbers . 由下一句…booksforyou is better than books4you 可知前一个域 名是由字母和单词组成的，而后一个 域名中包含了“数字”。

90. better。由下一句中的better可知答 案。
