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.
【C9】
选项
A、advanced
B、perfect
C、terrible
D、emerging
答案
B
解析
本句带有表示比较关系的more…than…,所填入的词用于描述technology。空格后提到平板电脑让父母们既喜又忧,B项perfect意为“完美的,完全的,绝对的”,此处指“没有比平板电脑更让人喜忧参半的完美技术了”。本处所讨论的重点不是平板是否是A项advanced“先进的”。本文无语义线索可表明人们对平板的看法是C项terrible“糟糕的”。D项emerging表示“新兴的”,平板已经占据很大市场份额,不符合语境。此外三项均不能突出平板让父母既喜又忧的特点。
