问题     A lot of people instinctively believe—without really knowing—that poor readers are not especially smart.
    A new study by researchers at the Yale School of Medicine and the University of California at Davis explains how it is that【C1】______bright and accomplished people can have great difficulty reading.
    What gets in the way of many people’s ability to read is word blindness. It is an unexpected difficulty in reading in people who have the intelligence and motivation thought to be necessary to be【C2】______readers.
    The brains of people with word blindness have difficulty taking images that they see or hear and turning it into【C3】______language, explained researcher Sally E. Shaywitz. This means that someone with word blindness not only has【C4】______reading but may also have difficulty speaking quickly. Typical readers can【C5】______recognize words after seeing them a few times; those with word blindness don’t.
    The new study【C6】______evidence for the first time showing that the【C7】______between IQ and reading over time is not the same for readers with word blindness as it is for typical readers.
    In people without word blindness, intelligence and reading do in fact connect and can【C8】______each other over time. But in those with word blindness, IQ and reading are not【C9】______over time and do not have an affect on each other.
    "People expect that if you are a very good reader you must be very smart and if you don’t read well you must not be so smart," said Shaywitz.
    "Word blindness is a paradox(矛盾)because it violates that【C10】______," she said. "You can NOT be a great reader and be exceptionally smart."
A)conclusion B)fluent C)understandable D)exceedingly
E)automatically F)provides G)influence H)trouble
I)linked J)proves K)considerate L)selectively
M)assumption N)relationship O)contacted
【C1】
选项
答案D
解析 此处需填入副词，修饰bright和accomplished，表示聪明和杰出的程度。由文章末尾可知阅读能力不强，但可以特别聪明，此处与文章末尾修饰smart的exceptionally语义相近，故选exceedingly。
