When a famous English writer used the (1)_____ over two hundred years ago, he was actually (2)_____ to people who could (3)_____ read Greek or Latin. (4)_____,it seems unlikely that university examiners had this sort of (5)_____ in mind when they reported on "creeping illiteracy" in a report on their students’ final examination in 1988. (6)_____ the years, university lecturers have been (7)_____ of an increasing tendency towards grammatical sloppiness, poor spelling and general imprecision (8)_____ their students’ ways of writing; and sloppy writing is all (9)_____ often a reflection of sloppy thinking. Their (10)_____ was that they had (11)_____ to do teaching their own subject (12)_____ teaching their undergraduates to write. Some lecturers believe that they have a (n) (13)_____ to stress the importance of maintaining standards of clear thinking (14)_____ the written word in a world dominated by (15)_____ communications and images.

选项 A、appraisal
B、admiration
C、perplexity
D、controversy
答案D
解析 空白前谈到but this point of view…，可以看出，作者的语气发生了转折，可以推测这种观点引发了不好的事情。故"appraisal(评估)"和"admiration(崇拜)"可以排除。"perplexity"意为"困惑"，但从上下文看不出人们困惑的理由。"controversy"意为"争议"，由上文内容可知，那些教师对现行的英语教学提出了质疑，显然，这会使英语教学的支持者们不满，从而引发争议。故controversy放在这里语义通畅，正确。
