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. Examination of factors related to the (5)_____ development of silent reading reveals that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in (6)_____.
The last century saw a steady gradual increase in (7)_____ and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, the number of potential listeners (8)_____, and thus there was some (9)_____ in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a (10)_____ activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would (11)_____ distraction to other readers.

选项
A、private
B、overt
C、public
D、secret
答案
A
解析
考查上下文语义衔接。空格所在句与上一句之间的逻辑关系是因果关系,由as和so连接。上一句讲的是reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common。本题需要填入一个形容词与上文形成对比,应选private"私人的"。该句句意:随着读书作为一种为听众服务而存在的活动愈来愈不常见,它逐渐变成一种大众场所普遍的私人活动。其他选项overt"公开的"、public"大众的,公开的"与文义相反;secret"秘密的"与空格后的public相矛盾,秘密活动怎么会在大众场所进行?
