问题     For the last 82 years, Sweden’s Nobel Academy has decided who
will receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, thereby determine who will 【M1】______
be elevated from the great and the near great to the mortal. But today【M2】______
the Academy is coming under heavy criticism both from the without
and from within. Critics contends that the selection of the winners 【M3】______
often has less to do with true writing ability than the peculiar internal 【M4】______
politics of the Academy and of Sweden itself. According to Ingmar
Bjorksten, the cultural editor for one of the country’s two major
newspapers, the prize continues to represent "what people call a very
Swedish exercise: reflecting Swedish tastes."
    The Academy has defended itself for such charges of 【M5】______
provincialism in its selection by asserting that its psychological 【M6】______
distance from the great literary capitals of the world actually serves to
protecting the Academy from outside influences. This may well be 【M7】______
true, but critics respond that this very distance may also be not 【M8】______
responsible for the Academy’s inability to perceive accurately
authentic trends in the literary world.
    Regardless of concerns over the selection process, moreover, it 【M9】______
seems that the prize will continue to survive both as an indicator of
the literature that we most highly praise, and as an elusive goal that
writers seek. If for no other reason, the prize will continue to be
desired for the financial rewards that accompany it; not only is the 【M10】______
cash prize itself considerable, but it also dramatically increases sales
of an author’s books.
【M10】
选项
答案desired—desirable
解析 形近词错误。desired表示“渴望的，想得到的”，desirable表示“可取的，合意的，值得拥有的”。根据文中含义，应该改为desirable.
