The good news is that today’s teenagers are【C1】________readers and prolific (多产的) writers. The bad news is that what they are reading and writing are text messages.
According to a survey done last year by Nielsen, Americans between the ages of 13 and 17 send and receive an【C2】________of 3,339 texts per month. Teenage girls send and receive more than 4,000. It’s an unmissable trend. Even if you don’t have teenage kids, you’ll see other people’s【C3】________slouching (无精打采的站立或行动) around, eyes averted, tapping away,【C4】________of their surroundings.
Half of today’s teenagers【C5】________don’t read books—except when they’re made to. According to the most recent survey by the National Endowment for the Arts, the【C6】________of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 who read a book not required at school or at work is now 50.7 percent, the lowest for any adult age group younger than 75, and down from 59 percent 20 years ago.
Why does this【C7】________? For two reasons: First, we are【C8】________behind more-literate societies. According to the results of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s most recent Program for International Student Assessment, the【C9】________in reading ability between the 15-year-olds in the Shanghai district of China and those in the United States is now as big as the gap between the U.S. and Serbia or Chile. But the more important reason is that children who don’t read are【C10】________from the civilization of their ancestors.
So, welcome to book camp, kids.
A) absolutely E) fall I) lagging M) proportion
B) average F) gap J) matter N) separated
C) derive G) hardly K) normally O) unaware
D) enthusiastic H) ignorant L) offspring [br] 【C2】
选项
答案
B
解析
名词辨义题。根据空格前的冠词an可判断此处应填入一个名词的单数形式,且该名词以元音开头,备选词汇中offspring意为“后代,子孙”,用在此处语义不通,可排除。average意为“平均”,符合此处语境,an average of为常用搭配,意为“平均……”,故选B。
