The debate about problem drinking and how to stop it
nowadays centres most on the working-class young. They are【M1】______
highly visible—and inaudible—as they clog city centres on【M2】______
Saturday nights. But a chapter in a forthcoming book, Intoxication
and Society, by Philip Withington, a Cambridge historian, argues
that it was the educated elite whom taught Britons how to drink to【M3】______

educational enrolment unsurpassedly until the early 20th century.
Illiteracy inclined and the universities of Cambridge and Oxford,【M4】______
as well as the Inns of Court and Chancery where barristers learned
their craft, brimming with affluent young men. This was the【M5】______
crucial period which modern drinking culture was formed. Mr【M6】______

sound familiar to anybody who has been within a few miles of a
British university. It was characterised by two conflicting aims.

would-be lawyers formed drinking societies, where they learned
the social—and drinking—skills required of gentlemen.

most learned method". Mirroring the standardisation of language
after the invention of the printing press, codes of intoxication were
disseminated to many a wider audience as society became more【M10】______
literate and censorship declined.

答案
∧also一were
解析
词汇错误。be supposed to是固定搭配,表示“应该;认为必须;被期望”,且be动词应该放在also之前。全句意为“本以为他们能保持自控,谈笑风生”。
