问题     The book is dead. Technology has killed it. The libraries of
the world are dooming to become museums. Americans, however,【M1】______
attend to bring an either-or mentality to most things. The invention【M2】______
of television led to predictions about the demise of radio. The
making of movies was to be the funeral bell of alive theater;【M3】______
recorded music, the end of concerts. All these forms still
exist—sometimes overshadowed by their siblings, but not
smothered by them. And with the direst predictions, reading【M4】______
continues to be part of the life of the mind.
    There’s no question that reading off-paper, as I think of it,
will increase in years to come. A library that got 10 as gifts【M5】______
reported that within a half hour they had all checked out. And【M6】______
there’s no question that once again we will be treated to
lamentations suggesting that true literacy has become the lost art.
The difference this time is that we will confront with elitism from【M7】______
both sides. Not only have literary purists now complain of the【M8】______
evanescent nature of letters onscreen, the tech fanatics have
become equally disdainful of the old form.
    Perhaps we should look past both sides to concern ourselves
with function instead of form. I am cheered by the Gallup poll in【M9】______
which asks a simple question: do you happen to be reading any
books or novels at present? In 1952 a merely 18 percent of【M10】______
respondents said yes. The last time the survey was done, in 2005,
that number was 47 percent. So much for the good old days. [br] 【M4】
选项
答案 with一despite
解析 语篇错误。本句前半部分说“有着这些可怕的预言”，后半句指出“阅读一直都是精神生活的一部分”，从语义逻辑来判断此处表示让步，由于with后面是名词，不能用连词though，只能用表让步的介词despite。
