Many Brazilians cannot read. In 2000, a quarter of those aged 15 and older were functionally illiterate(文盲). Many【C1】______do not want to. Only one literate adult in three reads books. The【C2】______Brazilian reads 1. 8 non-academic books a year, less than half the figure in Europe and the United States. In a recent survey of reading habits, Brazilians came 27th out of 30 countries. Argentines, their neighbors,【C3】______18th.
The government and businesses are all struggling in different ways to change this. On March 13 the government【C4】______a National Plan for Books and Reading. This seeks to boost reading, by founding libraries and financing publishers among other things.
One discouragement to reading is that books are【C5】______. Most books have small print-runs, pushing up their price.
But Brazilians’ indifference to books has deeper roots. Centuries of slavery meant the country’s leaders long【C6】______education. Primary schooling became universal only in the 1990s.
All this means Brazil’s book market has the biggest growth【C7】______in the western world.
But reading is a difficult habit to form. Brazilians bought fewer books in 2004, 89 million, including textbooks【C8】______by the government, than they did in 1991. Last year the director of Brazil’s national library【C9】______. He complained that he had half the librarians he needed and termites(白蚁)had eaten much of the【C10】______. That ought to be a cause for national shame.
A)average I)normal
B)collection J)particularly
C)distributed K)potential
D)exhibition L)quit
E)expensive M)ranked
F)launched N)simply
G)named O)treasured
H)neglected
【C5】
选项
答案
E
解析
根据句子结构可知,空格处应填入形容词,构成系表结构。根据句中的discouragememt一词可知,此处意在表达影响巴西人不爱读书的因素。根据下文中的pushing up their price可知,这里描述的应该是书的价格,故expensive符合句意。
