Many Brazilians cannot read. In 2000, a quarter of those aged 15 and older were functionally illiterate(文盲). Many【C1】______do not want to. Only one literate adult in three reads books. The【C2】______Brazilian reads 1. 8 non-academic books a year, less than half the figure in Europe and the United States. In a recent survey of reading habits, Brazilians came 27th out of 30 countries. Argentines, their neighbors,【C3】______18th.
The government and businesses are all struggling in different ways to change this. On March 13 the government【C4】______a National Plan for Books and Reading. This seeks to boost reading, by founding libraries and financing publishers among other things.
One discouragement to reading is that books are【C5】______. Most books have small print-runs, pushing up their price.
But Brazilians’ indifference to books has deeper roots. Centuries of slavery meant the country’s leaders long【C6】______education. Primary schooling became universal only in the 1990s.
All this means Brazil’s book market has the biggest growth【C7】______in the western world.
But reading is a difficult habit to form. Brazilians bought fewer books in 2004, 89 million, including textbooks【C8】______by the government, than they did in 1991. Last year the director of Brazil’s national library【C9】______. He complained that he had half the librarians he needed and termites(白蚁)had eaten much of the【C10】______. That ought to be a cause for national shame.
A)average I)normal
B)collection J)particularly
C)distributed K)potential
D)exhibition L)quit
E)expensive M)ranked
F)launched N)simply
G)named O)treasured
H)neglected
【C1】
选项
答案
N
解析
空格前面是many,承接上文,即many Brazilians;want to后面省略了动词read,因此空格处需要填入副词形式。备选项中只有两个副词,分别是simply和particularly,simply符合句意“许多人只是不想读书”。由此确定副词simply为本题答案。particularly意为“独特地,显著地”,与句意不符,故排除。
