Low levels of literacy and numeracy have a damaging impact on almost every aspect of adults, according to a survey published yesterday, which offers【C1】______of a developing underclass. Tests and【C2】______with hundreds of people born in a week in 1958 graphically illustrated the【C3】______of educational underachievement. The effects can be seen in unemployment, family【C4】______, low incomes, depression and social inactivity.
Those who left school at 16 with poor basic skills had been employed for up to four years less than good readers【C5】______they reached 37. Professor John Bynner, of City University, who carried the research, said that today’s【C6】______teenagers would even encounter greater problems because the supply of 【C7】______jobs had shrunk.
Almost one fifth of the 1, 700 people interviewed for yesterday’s report had poor literacy and almost half【C8】______with innumeracy, a proportion【C9】______other surveys for the Basic Skills Agency. Some could not read a child’s book, and most found difficult【C10】______written instructions.
Poor readers were twice as likely to be a low wage and four times likely to live in a household where partners worked. Women in this【C11】______were five times as likely to be【C12】______depressed, 【C13】______both tended to feel they had no control over their lives, and to trust others【C14】______.
Those who had low literacy and numeracy were seldom【C15】______in any community organization and less likely than others to【C16】______in a general election. There had been no【C17】______in the literary level of【C18】______reporting problems.
Alan Wells, the agency’s director, said: "The results emphasize the dangers of developing an underclass people, who were out of work, 【C19】______depressed and often labeled themselves as【C20】______There is a circle of marginalization, with the dice against these people and their families. "
【C6】
选项
A、illiterate
B、suffering
C、poor
D、unqualified
答案
D
解析
语义衔接题。文章主题是读写能力与算术能力偏低造成的不利影响,因此此处所指的teenagers应该是low levels of literacy and numeracy。综合而言,即是“受教育程度低的”,所以选[D]unqualified。[A]illiterate“不识字的,未受过教育的”,没有包括算术能力低的,片面,所以排除;[B]suffering“受苦的,生病的”与[C]poor“贫穷的”,均与语境不符。
