正确答案是 N ， 您未作答 。

统计

全站统计：

本题共被作答4832次，总正确率4%，最多的错误答案是I

解析

空格前面是many，承接上文，即manyBrizilians；wantto后面省略了动词read，因此空格处需要填入副词形式。

simply符合句意“许多人只是不想读书”。

particularly意为“独特地，显著地”，与句意不符，故排除。

笔记

正确答案是 A ， 您未作答 。

回答错误

统计

全站统计：

本题共被作答4831次，总正确率11%，最多的错误答案是I

解析

通过分析句子结构可知，空格处应填入形容词修饰名词Brazilian.通过下文的non-academicbooksayear可知，空格处形容词不可能达到总量，而应该是平均数。

即“平均每个巴西人”之意，由此确定average为答案。

笔记

正确答案是 M ， 您未作答 。

回答错误

统计

全站统计：

本题共被作答4831次，总正确率9%，最多的错误答案是A

解析

巴西在被调查的30个国家中排名第27位，而邻国阿根廷排名第18位，故空格处填入的动词有“排名”之意，故ranked为答案。

笔记

正确答案是 F ， 您未作答 。

回答错误

统计

全站统计：

本题共被作答4833次，总正确率9%，最多的错误答案是C

解析

根据句子结构可知，空格处应填入动词过去式作谓语，且该动词可以与plan搭配构成动宾关系。

下文中提到国家通过修建图书馆等措施推进民众读书，故launched符合句意，即“发起计划”。

笔记

正确答案是 E ， 您未作答 。

回答错误

统计

全站统计：

本题共被作答4831次，总正确率13%，最多的错误答案是expensive

解析

根据句子机构可知，空格处应填入形容词，构成系表结构。

根据句中的discouragement一词可知，此处意在表达影响巴西人不爱读书的因素。

根据下文中的pushinguptheirprice可知，这里描述的应该是书的价格。

故expensive符合句意。

笔记

正确答案是 H ， 您未作答 。

回答错误

统计

全站统计：

本题共被作答4831次，总正确率7%，最多的错误答案是I

解析

空格处应填入动词作从句的谓语，本段分析了巴西人不爱读书的深层原因，即长达几个世纪的奴隶制度造成该国领导人不重视教育，结合下文提到“巴西基础教育在20世纪90年代才得到普及”可知，巴西教育的滞后深受奴隶制的影响，因此本空应选择neglected，即巴西“长期忽视教育”。

笔记

正确答案是 K ， 您未作答 。

回答错误

统计

全站统计：

本题共被作答4831次，总正确率7%，最多的错误答案是J

解析

通过分析句子机构可知，空格处应填入名词。

因为巴西以前读书人数少，这在客观上存在增长潜力，故potential符合句意。

笔记

正确答案是 C ， 您未作答 。

回答错误

统计

全站统计：

本题共被作答4831次，总正确率6%，最多的错误答案是B

解析

空格处应填入动词过去分词，作textbooks的后置定语，distributetextbooks意为“分发教科书”。

故答案为C。

笔记

正确答案是 L ， 您未作答 。

回答错误

统计

全站统计：

本题共被作答4831次，总正确率7%，最多的错误答案是D

解析

空格处应填入动词构成主谓结构，结合下文的complained，shame等词可知，巴西国家图书馆馆长因对目前的状况不满而辞职，故quit符合句意。

笔记

正确答案是 B ， 您未作答 。

回答错误

统计

全站统计：

本题共被作答4831次，总正确率9%，最多的错误答案是O

解析

空格前面有冠词the，故应填入名词。

本句与图书馆有关，collection此处可理解为“藏书”，符合句意。
