Recently George and I hosted a special preview of Precious in our hometown, Houston. The【C1】______of 200 included young people and old, teachers and corporate executives, parents and grandparents, and folks of just about every ethnic and economic【C2】______. I planned to say a few words when the movie was over【C3】______I was speechless.
Precious is the story of an【C4】______African-American teenager growing up in poverty in the 1980s. The abuse—sexual, physical, mental—this young woman【C5】______at the hands of her parents is difficult to watch; there are times when her hopelessness is【C6】______. But what saves her from a life of【C7】______is a teacher who helps her learn to read and write.
After 30 years promoting literacy, I’ve never felt more【C8】______. Watching this movie, I was【C9】______why it’s important that we keep working so hard. There are kids like Precious【C10】______. Each day we walk by them: young boys and girls whose home lives are dark secrets. They are often abused or neglected, and【C11】______read to or given homework help.【C12】______the skills they need to lead a productive life, the【C13】______are good they will continue the【C14】______of poverty and illiteracy.
But if young people can read and write, they are less likely to【C15】______out of school, turn to drugs and violence, get pregnant, or depend on【C16】______. There is not one child in America who wants that life. Kids want to learn. They want good jobs. They want a chance. Which is【C17】______, three decades ago, I decided to use my bully pulpit(讲坛)to【C18】______literacy.
I’m proud that the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy has given out 773 literacy【C19】______in 50 states and the District of Columbia. We give them to programs whose goal is to teach both parents and children to read. This is happening in schools, prisons, workplaces, and communities. The programs all have the same goal: read, read, read. We’ve made progress, but Precious is a new【C20】______to action.

选项
A、impart
B、promote
C、surge
D、sponsor
答案
B
解析
考查语义逻辑。由文章第3段第1句可知,30年来,作者一直在promoting literacy(扫盲),不难判断此空填promote。impart“传授”;surge“激增”;sponsor“赞助”。
