【答案】
25．B 26．D 27．A 28．C
【解析】
25．句意：它非常拥挤和缓慢，但是工程师们设法用新发明来解决这个问题。
根据句子结构可知，该空应用形容词，在句中作表语，与后面的slow是并列的。结合句意，互联网一开始速度很慢，因此crowded“拥挤的”符合语境。故选B。
26．句意：他们改进了软件，使它运行得更顺畅。
根据句子结构可知，该空修饰动词，应用副词形式；且结合句意“…improved software”可知，工程师们改进了软件，所以运行得更顺畅了。smoothly“顺畅地，平滑地”，符合语境，故选D。
27．句意：但这些公司注意到，人们对不同网站的期望不同，因为他们意识到并非所有的加载时间都是一样的。
根据句子结构可知，该空是宾语从句中的谓语动词，结合下文“Some people will be more ___4___ to wait for a movie to load than for a game. Even so, four out of five online users will go away if a video takes too long to load.”可知，人们对不同网站的期望也是不同的。expect“期望，预料”符合语境，故选A。
28．句意：有些人会更耐心地等待电影加载，而不愿等待游戏。
根据句子结构可知，该空应选择一个形容词，在句中作表语；结合空后 to wait for a movie可知，这里表示“耐心等待”，patient“耐心的”符合语境，故选C。
