These are not easy times for booksellers. Borders, a big American one, fired its boss in January and has closed stores, but is still at risk of【C1】______, some analysts say. The British chain of the same name, which it once owned, failed last year. Barnes, the world’s biggest bookseller, appointed a new boss last month to help it【C2】______the triple threat of the recession, increased competition and e-books.
The struggles of booksellers can be explained in part by an increase in competition.

Many shops have started to offer free Internet access to keep customers there longer and to【C7】______them to download e-books.

选项
答案
J
解析
副词辨析题。空格在a(n)和serious threat之间,用来修饰后面的形容词serious,因此应该填副词。此处意为独立书店面临的威胁——严重,由下文的bigger rivals’prices可知,独立书店面临的威胁应该非常严重,表示程度,故填副词particularly。
