Teenage girls send and receive more than 4,000. It’s a【C4】_____ that can’t be neglected.【C5】______you don’t have teenage kids, you’ll see other people’s offspring being lazy around, eyes unfocused, tapping away,【C6】______to their surroundings. Take a group of teenagers to see the seven【C7】______of the world. They’ll be texting all the way. Seconds before the earth is hit by a gigantic planet or【C8】______by a super tsunami, millions of【C9】______ young fingers will be typing the human race’s last【C10】______words to itself.
    Now, before I am【C11】______ of throwing stones in a glass house, let me 【C12】______. I probably send about 50 emails a day, and I receive what seems like 200. But there’s a【C13】______. I also read books. It’s a weird old habit I 【C14】______as a kid, in the days before cell phones began nesting, bird-like, in the【C15】______ of the young. Half of today’s teenagers don’t read books-— 【C16】______ when they’re made to. According to the most recent survey 【C17】______the National Endowment for the Arts, the【C18】______ of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 who read a book not【C19】______at school or at work is now 50. 7 percent, the【C20】______for any adult age group younger than 75 , and down from 59 percent 20 years ago.
【C16】
选项 A、beside
B、besides
C、except for
D、except
答案D
解析 介词辨析题。句意为：现在的年轻人有半数不读书，除非迫不得已时才读。[D]except“除……以外”，可接名词，也可引导从句，故答案为[D]。[A]beside“在……旁边”，与本题不符；[B]besides“除……之外(还有)”；[C]except for后接名词，不能接从句，故均排除。
