问题     A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people, and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kind of books. A recent report, which【R6】______in detail the reading habits of primary-school children, showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have【R7】______views about what they want to read. Girls, in general, read more, and【R8】______more girls than boys preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a【R9】______for the more instant appeal of picture stories, or else books about their hobbies.
    These tastes continue【R10】______until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read more in general, but more fiction in particular. You could say that there are more【R11】______for girls to read fiction; magazines【R12】______the fiction habit in girls in their early teens, and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women’s magazines. Teenage boys【R13】______to buy magazines about their hobbies: motorcycles, heavy transport and so on.
    Adult reading tastes are also the【R14】______of research. Again the number of women who read for pleasure is【R15】______higher than the number of men. It seems that the majority of women still want love stories. There has also been some analysis of what men actually read. Apparently only 38 per cent of men read anything, but 50 per cent of what they read is fiction in the form of action-packed stories of space or gunmen.
A. cautiously B. examined C. discovered D. considerably
E. unchanged F. far G. taste H. claim
I. tend J. clear K. encourage L. circumstances
M. subject N. opportunities O. equivalent
【R10】

选项

答案E

解析 这句的意思是“男孩子这样的读书喜好一直会持续到十几岁。”“unchanged”一词意为“未曾改变”,符合题意。请注意,“unchanged”是过去分词,充当形容词的功能,它修饰的不是前面的动词“continued”,而是修饰主语“These tastes”,描述的是一种状态。
