Remember books? They were those pieces of paper with words printed on them【C1】________in between two, sometimes,【C2】________covers. People bought them, and people borrowed them, but,【C3】________people used to read them. And then came screens. Six years into the【C4】________rise of mobile, half of American adults own a smartphone; over a third owns a tablet.
Now, I’m joking about the end of books, but it’s easy and tempting to【C5】________that screens will continue their【C6】________on words and paper-bound books will be at the【C7】________of vanishing. But if you take a hard look at the data, it’s not the end of print. Not by a long shot.
【C8】________, there hasn’t been a more【C9】________technology for capturing the hopes and the fears of new parents than the tablet. Touchscreens are so easy to【C10】________ that babies can use them and learn at younger ages than we thought possible—or babies can use them and use them and use them and lose out on other skills. We just don’t know what this does【C11】________young brains. All we know is we’re【C12】________a generation that sometimes finds magazines more【C13】________than iPads.
Parents, of course, can’t not know. Or, if they really can’t, then they don’t want to take any【C14】________. And that’s why it’s not at all【C15】________that the vast, vast【C16】________of parents prefer reading printed books to their young children. Pew Research found that 94 percent of parents think it’s important to read print books to their children.
Print【C17】________isn’t going away soon.【C18】________more people prefer e-readers, some would still rather read print. Books will become "luxuries". But, of course, the real test will come in the next few years when we see what kids who have been using tablets since before they could walk prefer to read.
Print is in a long, slow【C19】________that feels like a death spiral, but isn’t quite so. For now, at least, the end of print is a long way off, even if kids these days can’t【C20】________how to turn the page.
【C6】
选项
A、warning
B、action
C、effort
D、assault
答案
D
解析
上段提到手机的增长速度非常快,本句作者在拿纸质书的末路开玩笑(joking about the end of books)。说明屏幕的出现使人们的阅读方式受到非常大的冲击。D项assault意为“攻击”,意思符合。A项warning表示“警告”,屏幕的出现不仅是发出警告而已,已经造成很大影响。B项action和C项effort分别表示“行动”和“努力”,均过于笼统,不能表示屏幕将会继续这种冲击。
