The good news is that today’s teenagers are eager readers and prolific writers. The bad news is【C1】______they are reading and writing are text messages.
According to a survey carried 【C2】______last year by Nielsen, Americans between the ages of 13 and 17 send and receive a(n)【C3】______of 3 ,339 texts per month. Teenage girls send and receive more than 4,000. It’s a【C4】_____ that can’t be neglected.【C5】______you don’t have teenage kids, you’ll see other people’s offspring being lazy around, eyes unfocused, tapping away,【C6】______to their surroundings. Take a group of teenagers to see the seven【C7】______of the world. They’ll be texting all the way. Seconds before the earth is hit by a gigantic planet or【C8】______by a super tsunami, millions of【C9】______ young fingers will be typing the human race’s last【C10】______words to itself.
Now, before I am【C11】______ of throwing stones in a glass house, let me 【C12】______. I probably send about 50 emails a day, and I receive what seems like 200. But there’s a【C13】______. I also read books. It’s a weird old habit I 【C14】______as a kid, in the days before cell phones began nesting, bird-like, in the【C15】______ of the young. Half of today’s teenagers don’t read books-— 【C16】______ when they’re made to. According to the most recent survey 【C17】______the National Endowment for the Arts, the【C18】______ of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 who read a book not【C19】______at school or at work is now 50. 7 percent, the【C20】______for any adult age group younger than 75 , and down from 59 percent 20 years ago.
【C18】
选项
A、percentage
B、proportion
C、part
D、rate
答案
B
解析
名词辨析题。句意为:在美国,18—24岁的年轻人中,在没有学校或工作单位要求的情况下,读书的人的比例为50.7%。[B]proportion“比例”,多用于指个体在整体中所占的比重,故为答案。[A]percentage“百分比”,和后面的percent重复,故排除;[C]part“部分”,没有“比例”之意,故排除;[D]rate“速度,比率”,多指增长或减少的比率或速度,故排除。
