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.
【C8】
选项 A、able
B、failing
C、unable
D、incapable
答案C
解析 空格所在句是说很多学生无法回答这个关于图书的最简单问题。C选项unable意为“不会的，无能力的”，be unable to do意为“没有能力做某事”，与语境相符，故选C。在其他三项中，A选项able意为“能够的，有能力的”；B选项failing意为“失败，不成功”；D选项incapable意为“无能力的”，固定搭配be incapable of doing sth．意为“无法胜任某事”。
