Low levels of literacy and numeracy have a damaging impact on almost every aspect of adult life, according to a survey published yesterday, which offers evidence of a developing underclass. Tests and interviews with hundreds of people born in a single week in 1958【C1】______illustrated the handicap of educational underachievement. The effects were seen in unemployment, low incomes, depression and social【C2】______.
Those who left school at 16 with poor basic skills had been employed for up to four years less than good readers at the time they reached 37. Professor John Bynner, of City University, who【C3】______out the research, said that today’s【C4】______people would face even greater problems because the supply of manual jobs had【C5】______up. Poor readers were twice as likely to be on a low【C6】______and four times as likely to live in a household where neither partner worked. Women in this position were five times as likely to be classified as【C7】______, while both sexes tended to feel they had no control over their lives, and to be【C8】______of others. Those with low literacy and numeracy skills were seldom involved in any【C9】______organization and much less likely than others to have【C10】______in a general election.

选项
答案
D
解析
此处应填动词。空前的助动词had和空后的副词up提示所填词应为动词的过去分词。because引导的原因状语从句是对…people would face even greater problems的解释。由其中的problems可知,原因状语从句应表达消极含义,在这一语境下不难推断,the supply of manual jobs应该是“减少”了,备选项中的过去分词与up搭配,表示“减少”之意的为D)dried“收缩”。
