问题     Illiteracy may be considered more as an abstract concept than a condition. When a famous English writer used the (1)_____ over two hundred years ago, he was actually (2)_____ to people who could (3)_____ read Greek or Latin. (4)_____,it seems unlikely that university examiners had this sort of (5)_____ in mind when they reported on "creeping illiteracy" in a report on their students’ final examination in 1988. (6)_____ the years, university lecturers have been (7)_____ of an increasing tendency towards grammatical sloppiness, poor spelling and general imprecision (8)_____ their students’ ways of writing; and sloppy writing is all (9)_____ often a reflection of sloppy thinking. Their (10)_____ was that they had (11)_____ to do teaching their own subject (12)_____ teaching their undergraduates to write. Some lecturers believe that they have a (n) (13)_____ to stress the importance of maintaining standards of clear thinking (14)_____ the written word in a world dominated by (15)_____ communications and images.

选项 A、disability
B、faculty
C、condition
D、significance
答案A
解析 如上文所述，空白处"this sort of..."正是指上文谈到的内容。上文说到英国作家用这个词，谈论的是有些人不懂希腊文或拉丁文。不懂希腊文或拉丁文是能力上的缺失，空白处后面谈到：大学的主考官在使用这个词的时候，不太可能会想到上文所说到的这种…。因此disability(能力缺乏)放在此处语义通顺，"faculty"(才能)与文意相反。上文已讲到不能将illiteracy视作一种社会状况，"condition"(状况)不对。这里谈论的是illiteracy指的是什么，并非讨论其重要意义，因此"significance"(意义)不对。
