24、设空处所在位置可推知，此处应为本段主旨句，起到引出下文的作用。根据下文的内容可知，本段列举了在索尼随身听上市之前的小型便携式收音机和大型手提录音机的不足之处，故G项(在随身听问世之前，还没有一种良好的便携式听歌设备)符合语境，引出下文对于其他音乐播放器的介绍。2E根据设空处前两句和设空处后一句中的“These days, we are very used to that idea”可知，此处介绍的是索尼随身听叫作“Walkman”的原因；再根据that idea可知，设空处应涉及某一观点或含义，故E项(这意味着你可以边走边听自己的音乐)符合语境。3C根据空前一句“Compared to tha
25、t of the headphones we have now, the quality of the Walkmans sound wasnt great. But back then, the sound amazed people.”可知，上文介绍了虽然与现在的头戴式耳机的音质相比，索尼随身听的音质并不能算好，但在当时，这种音质还是让人们为之惊叹。结合选项可知，C项(感觉就像音乐在你的脑海内播放)符合语境，进一步阐述了索尼随身听的音质效果。4B根据空前一句中的“the Walkman was hugely popular”可知，索尼随身听特别受欢迎；再结合空后一句“But whoever
26、 made such kind of devices, most people kept using the name Walkman”，尤其是其中表转折的连词But可知，设空处应与下文存在语义上的转折关系。故B项(很快，其他公司开始模仿索尼的设备)符合语境。5A根据设空前后的内容可知，用索尼随身听来听歌是受到限制的，如果你想听某首歌，你需要往前或往后倒磁带才能找到你想听的那首歌。结合选项可知，A项(当时随身听只能播放盒式磁带)符合语境。A项中的only可以对应上文中的limited；cassette tapes与下文中的tape相呼应。.语法填空New York is sampling so

32、y of意为“一定量的”，为固定用法。6traditional考查形容词。此处所填的词修饰其后的名词词组“health supplement”，故应填形容词。7have seen考查时态和主谓一致。根据该句中的时间状语“In recent years”并结合语境可知，此处应用现在完成时，且主语为we，故填have seen。8benefits考查名词的单复数。根据空前的“many”以及空后所列举的好处可知，此处表示不止一个好处。故填名词的复数形式。9that/which考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处引导定语从句，先行词为antioxidants，表示物，关系词在从句中作主语，故用that/which。10is考查时态和主谓一致。根据语境可知，此处为一般性描述，应用一般现在时，该句的主语为“One other claim”，为单数形式，谓语动词应用单数。故填is。
