解析:B [解析] 此处显然需要一个形容词放在times前,表示改变的次数,在所给的三个形容词中,countless最合适,所以选B。
解析:D [解析] 这里显然需要一个谓语动词,而且应该是以现在分词的形式出现,在符合此要求的两个词,即shifted及performed之间,显然shifted更符合语义和词汇搭配,所以选shifted。
解析:M [解析] 根据语法,这里需要形容词的比较级来承担主语的补语,worse和better符合此条件,但从句义上讲worse是正确的,所表达的意思是“每一次的巨变都使吉普赛人的恶劣生活比上一次更糟糕”。
解析:G [解析] 根据空格前的become和largest两个词,可知这里需要一个名词来做主语they(即前文中的gypsies)的补语;根据句义,在所给的选项中只有minority最合适,在此处表示“吉卜赛人已成为欧洲最大的少数民族”。
解析:B[解析] 空格前的succeed一词,限定了此处应该选择一个以现在分词形式出现的动词:在符合此条件的三个选项—referring“谈及,提到”,reserving“储备,预留”及preservin

解析:F [解析] 根据上下文,此处需要一个名词作句中it(所代替的是the gypsies" preserving their culture)的补足语,在剩下的两个名词选项proof“证据,试验”和wonder“惊奇,奇观”中,只有proof符合句义,意思是“吉普赛人成功地保留了自己的文化被看作是他们不愿意也不能够变通的证据,因而也被认为是无可救药的”。
解析:A [解析] 显然此处需要一个副词来修饰谓语动词attacked,在所给的两个选项中,依据语义openly“公开地”比substantially“非常地,大体上”更符合语义。
解析:L [解析] 依据语法和句法信息,这里需要一个动词与空格前的was及空格后的介词to共同构成谓语成分,根据语义及搭配信息,只有referring最合适,因而选L。

Examination of factors related to the historical development of silent reading 14 that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.
The last century saw a 15 increase in literacy, and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of 16 listeners declined, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a 17 activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to ot

Towards the end of last century there was still considerable 18 over whether books should be used for information or treated 19 . Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was 20 如何申购新股by the printed mass media on one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialized readership on the other.
