B.the transponder

D.the fullplane parachute
解析 词义猜测题。根据本句前半句中的内容可推测此处指代的是上—段最后一句中提到的fullplane parachute(降落伞)。
答案 D
C
The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple's products sounds cool and
has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” —and many other brands are following
suit. The BBC's iPlayer —which allows Web users to watch TV
programs on the Internet —adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear
—popular in the US and UK—that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”.
A slimmeddown version of London's Independent newspaper was
launched last week under the name “i”.In general, singleletter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as email and ecommerce first came to use.
Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent's “i”, it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name.
But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King's College. London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines.” Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn't have one clear definition,” he says.
