问题     There is one part of women’s magazines that every man
reads. It is the section popularly known as the "agony columns", where
women, and increasing men, write for advice on their emotional (1)______
problems. The person who answers these letters usually have a (2)______
very reassuring name which suggests a gentle middle-aged lady
with a lot of wisdom and experiences. At one time, it used to be (3)______
widely believed that the letters were in fact all made by someone (4)______
on the editorial staff, and that the "Aunt Mary" who provided
the answers was a fat man with a beard, who drank like a fish,
smoked like a chimney, and was faithful to his wife into the (5)______
bargain. Although this may be true in some cases, the minority (6)______
of advice columns are genuine, and the advisory staff is highly- (7)______
qualified people with a deep understanding of human problems.
At one time, only the answers were published, not the letters
themselves. Many of the fun in reading them lay in trying to (8)______
work out what on earth the problem was that led to such peculiar
answers. Nowadays everything is much more implicit, and (9)______
questions of the most intimate kind are fully dealt with. As the
agony columns have become more professional and more frank,
a lot of the fun has gone out of them. This is undoubted a good (10)______
thing, because there is something very bad about our tendency to laugh at the misfortunes of our fellow men.
选项
答案increasing—increasingly
解析 increasing是动名词，可用来作定语，但用在此处与上下文意思不符，此处是说“写信这种趋势渐增”，而不专修饰men，故将increasing改increasingly，用来修饰write。
