问题     The good news is that today’s teenagers are【C1】________readers and prolific (多产的) writers. The bad news is that what they are reading and writing are text messages.
    According to a survey done last year by Nielsen, Americans between the ages of 13 and 17 send and receive an【C2】________of 3,339 texts per month. Teenage girls send and receive more than 4,000. It’s an unmissable trend. Even if you don’t have teenage kids, you’ll see other people’s【C3】________slouching (无精打采的站立或行动) around, eyes averted, tapping away,【C4】________of their surroundings.
    Half of today’s teenagers【C5】________don’t read books—except when they’re made to. According to the most recent survey by the National Endowment for the Arts, the【C6】________of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 who read a book not required at school or at work is now 50.7 percent, the lowest for any adult age group younger than 75, and down from 59 percent 20 years ago.
    Why does this【C7】________? For two reasons: First, we are【C8】________behind more-literate societies. According to the results of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s most recent Program for International Student Assessment, the【C9】________in reading ability between the 15-year-olds in the Shanghai district of China and those in the United States is now as big as the gap between the U.S. and Serbia or Chile. But the more important reason is that children who don’t read are【C10】________from the civilization of their ancestors.
    So, welcome to book camp, kids.
    A) absolutely    E) fall      I) lagging    M) proportion
    B) average       F) gap       J) matter     N) separated
    C) derive        G) hardly    K) normally   O) unaware
    D) enthusiastic  H) ignorant  L) offspring
【C5】
选项
答案K
解析 副词辨义题。空格所在的句子结构完整，不缺少任何句子成分，由空格前后的内容可以判断，此处应填入一个副词，对don’t read books这一动作进行修饰。由该句破折号后面的内容可知，现今半数的青少年只是在逼迫之下才会阅读。由此可知，备选词汇中，absolutely“绝对地”不符合此处语境。hardly意为“几乎不”，与空格后的don’t语义重复，故排除。normally意为“通常地”，用在此处语义通顺，故选K。
