21、 for?Long gone are the days of dialup and waiting for your turn to use the computer.

22、Everything from your phone and laptop to tablets and printers can use WiFi, thanks to these waves. _2_ Two years later, a group of companies formed the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, now the WiFi Alliance), a global nonprofit organization created to promote the new WiFi standard.Non

23、e of that history explains what WiFi stands for, because the phrase doesnt stand for anything. WiFi is a trademarked term describing the device or technology based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) wireless communication standard 802.11, according to the WiFi Alliance.

24、_3_ So the WiFi Alliance hired the marketing company Interbrand to come up with a shorter name: WiFi, according to one of the founding Alliance members._4_ The rumor that it stands for “Wireless Fidelity (无线保真)” is thanks to the Alliance. Some members didnt understand the branding or marketing for W

28、此可知，B项“这主要感谢WiFi”承上启下，符合语境。2E根据设空后一句可知，两年后，几个公司成立了无线以太网兼容性联盟，目的是推广新的WiFi标准。与新的标准相对应则是一般的、普通的标准，E项中的“a common WiFi standard”与设空后的“new WiFi standard”对应，再结合常识和语境可知答案选E项。3A根据前一句可知，根据WiFi联盟的说法，WiFi是一个商标术语，用来描述基于IEEE无线通信标准802.11的设备或技术，下文表明WiFi联盟聘请了营销公司Interbrand为它起了一个短一点的名字：WiFi；由此可知，上文的那个名字又长又拗口。故A项符合语境。

29、mouthful意为“又长又拗口的词(或短语)”。4D根据下文中的“The rumor that”和“Some members didnt understand”可推知，人们对于WiFi是什么这个问题还有一些争议，故选D。5G根据设空后一句可知，作者建议不要混淆两者；设空前两句又表述该联盟的标签带来了混淆。由此可知，G项“而且，虽然该联盟去除了这个标签，但它带来的困惑到现在仍然存在”符合语境。.语法填空(2019山东省济宁一中高三第一次调研考试)Traditional Chinese culture is beginning to capture the attention of the wo
