问题    The front matter of a book consists of the title, subtitle, table of contents, and preface. But the【C1】______of readers who pay no attention to the signals is larger than you might expect, unless you happen to be one of those who are【C2】______to admit it. I have this experience again and again【C3】______students. I have asked them【C4】______a book was about. I have asked them to tell me, in the most general【C5】______, what sort of book it was. This, I have【C6】______, is a good way, almost an indispensable【C7】______, to begin a discussion.
   Many students are【C8】______to answer this first and simplest question about the book. Sometimes they apologize【C9】______that they haven’t finished reading it yet, and【C10】______do not know. That’s no【C11】______, I point out. Did you look at the title? Did you study the【C12】______? Did you read the preface【C13】______introduction? No, they did not. The front matter of a book【C14】______to be like the ticking of a clock,【C15】______you notice only when it is not there.
   One reason why titles and prefaces are【C16】______by so many readers is that they do not think【C17】______important to clarify the book they are reading. They do not follow this first【C18】______. If they tried to follow it, they【C19】______be grateful to the author【C20】______them.
【C14】
选项 A、happens
B、appears
C、used
D、looks
答案B
解析 空格所在句是说书的扉页就好像时钟的嘀嗒声。appear to意为“看来像是”，与语境相符，故选B。在其他三项中，A选项happens意为“发生，碰巧”；C选项used意为“用过的，习惯的”，used to do sth．意为“过去常常做某事”；D选项looks意为“看”，look to意为“朝(某物)看去，面对，依靠”，均与语境不符。
