问题   A customized, constantly-updating newspaper used to be the stuff of
science fiction. Now, thanks to tablet devices, there are several, such as
Livestand, a news app launched by Yahoo I, Editions, created by AOL,
and Flipboard,  which Google tried to buy last year. These corporate
giants aim to cash with on the desperation of traditional news publishers.【S1】________
A study last month by the Pew Research Center found that, less than two
years after the iPad went on sale, 11%  of American adults now own a
tablet and more than half of this group read news on them each day. They【S2】________
are more avidly news consumers than those without tablets, and for long【S3】________
articles they prefer their tablets both to ordinary computers and to print.
  For news outlets facing dwindling print circulations and meagre
online advertising rates, this is glimmer of hope. Yet turning this【S4】________
readership into avenue is tricky. Not all publishers can afford to build【S5】________
their own tablet apps.  For those that can, readers are somewhat readier
to pay for subscription than on the web; advertising rates are six to ten【S6】________
times higher than online. But it is not yet clear how many readers will
make the switch. And for publishers without an app, tablet users are just
like other web users: worth very little money.
  Flipboard and its rivals let users create a personalized digital
magazine from a mix of sources, which can include magazines,
newspapers, blogs and articles posting by their contacts on Facebook or【S7】________
Twitter. On the web,  similar "aggregator"  sites have a bad name as
freeloaders where create no content of their own. And the app versions【S8】________
have been of dubious benefit thus far to publishers, which must provide
their stories free in turn for the vague hope of getting more readers. But【S9】________
compared with a website cluttered in with links and ads of low tastes,【S10】________
the apps are clean, stylish and nice to use. And some have started
carrying glossy, high-end ads and sharing the revenue with publishers.
【S2】
选项
答案them—it
解析 代词误用。该处意为“11％的美国成年人拥有平板电脑，其中有半数以上的人每天通过平板电脑阅读新闻”。tablet为可数名词单数，故用it来指代。
