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、post
B、condition
C、status
D、position
答案
D
解析
语义衔接题。[A]post“岗位,职位”,指具体的某一岗位;[B]condition“条件”;[C]status“地位”;[D]position"位置,立场,形势"。结合上文,此处的women是指与上句中提到的poor readers读写能力水平相当的女性,也就是同样属于poor readers的女性,因此[D]position确切。
