MILLIONS of people now rent their movies the Netflix way. They fill out a wish list from the 50,000 titles on the company's Web site and receive the first few DVD's in the mail; when they mail each one back, the next one on the list is sent.

A. always B. barely C. demise D. emergence E. gained F. implications G. leaf H. lost I. naturally J. object K. one L. online M. rising N. single O. value
参考答案：1、F，implication 2、N, single 3、B, barely
解析：1、disruptive, new economy implication指的是Netflix的商业模式与以往的音像租赁模式的区别所在，即“颠覆性的新经济内涵”。这个要与下文的one other major implication联系起来。 2、a single large audience的意思是“单一 的庞大受众”，这里有一个相对词，即combine sth into one的指向性，即 combine many nich markets into audience. 3、but是一个转折连词，即与之前的内容相对，而且有one other major implication，而表明“内涵”没有提到。因此，barely用来强调这个意味。
