Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical. In (1)_____ world during the fifteenth century the term "reading" (2)_____ meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace. One should be wary, however, of (3)_____ that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is a(n) (4)_____ to others.

选项
A、receded
B、declined
C、increased
D、expanded
答案
B
解析
考查上下文语义衔接。前一分句讲读者数目增加了readers increased,那么相应地听别人读书的人应该是减少了。与increased形成反义词复现的只有declined"下降"。而且从As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common...也可得到证实。其他选项,receded"后退,倒退",不能用来修饰the number;increased、expanded"膨胀,扩张"均与文义相反。
