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.

选项
A、translating
B、complying
C、following
D、obeying
答案
C
解析
语义衔接题。由上下文语义知,此处是指“看不懂说明书”,还涉及不到translate“翻译”,所以选[C]following,与written instructions搭配。[B]complying"顺从,遵守",后面需要搭配介词with;.[D]obeying"服 从”,服从说明书显然不符合语境。
