问题     A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people, and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kind of books. A recent report, which【R6】______in detail the reading habits of primary-school children, showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have【R7】______views about what they want to read. Girls, in general, read more, and【R8】______more girls than boys preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a【R9】______for the more instant appeal of picture stories, or else books about their hobbies.
    These tastes continue【R10】______until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read more in general, but more fiction in particular. You could say that there are more【R11】______for girls to read fiction; magazines【R12】______the fiction habit in girls in their early teens, and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women’s magazines. Teenage boys【R13】______to buy magazines about their hobbies: motorcycles, heavy transport and so on.
    Adult reading tastes are also the【R14】______of research. Again the number of women who read for pleasure is【R15】______higher than the number of men. It seems that the majority of women still want love stories. There has also been some analysis of what men actually read. Apparently only 38 per cent of men read anything, but 50 per cent of what they read is fiction in the form of action-packed stories of space or gunmen.
A. cautiously B. examined C. discovered D. considerably
E. unchanged F. far G. taste H. claim
I. tend J. clear K. encourage L. circumstances
M. subject N. opportunities O. equivalent
【R15】
选项
答案D
解析 根据语法，这里需填一个副词来修饰后面的形容词比较级higher。单就本题而言，D、F两个选项均符合题意，但“far”一词上文已选，这样一来，剩下的唯一的选择就是D“considerably(很、非常、相当地)”了。这句的意思是“读书以消遣为目的的女性数量比男性数量要高得多。”
