问题     Remember books? They were those pieces of paper with words printed on them【C1】________in between two, sometimes,【C2】________covers. People bought them, and people borrowed them, but,【C3】________people used to read them. And then came screens. Six years into the【C4】________rise of mobile, half of American adults own a smartphone; over a third owns a tablet.
    Now, I’m joking about the end of books, but it’s easy and tempting to【C5】________that screens will continue their【C6】________on words and paper-bound books will be at the【C7】________of vanishing. But if you take a hard look at the data, it’s not the end of print. Not by a long shot.
    【C8】________, there hasn’t been a more【C9】________technology for capturing the hopes and the fears of new parents than the tablet. Touchscreens are so easy to【C10】________ that babies can use them and learn at younger ages than we thought possible—or babies can use them and use them and use them and lose out on other skills. We just don’t know what this does【C11】________young brains. All we know is we’re【C12】________a generation that sometimes finds magazines more【C13】________than iPads.
    Parents, of course, can’t not know. Or, if they really can’t, then they don’t want to take any【C14】________. And that’s why it’s not at all【C15】________that the vast, vast【C16】________of parents prefer reading printed books to their young children. Pew Research found that 94 percent of parents think it’s important to read print books to their children.
    Print【C17】________isn’t going away soon.【C18】________more people prefer e-readers, some would still rather read print. Books will become "luxuries". But, of course, the real test will come in the next few years when we see what kids who have been using tablets since before they could walk prefer to read.
    Print is in a long, slow【C19】________that feels like a death spiral, but isn’t quite so. For now, at least, the end of print is a long way off, even if kids these days can’t【C20】________how to turn the page.
【C2】
选项 A、wholesome
B、handsome
C、tiresome
D、complete
答案B
解析 此处需填入形容词修饰后面的covers(封面)。一般的书都有封皮，有时候为了吸引读者，人们会把书包装精美，B项handsome意为“漂亮的”，符合语义。A项wholesome意为“有益健康的”，不适合形容书的封面。C项tiresome意为“令人讨厌的”，一般书的封面不至于令人讨厌，不符合逻辑。D项complete意为“完整的”，书的封面一般都是完整的，而不是有时候才完整。
