问题     A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people, and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kind of books. A recent report, which【R6】______in detail the reading habits of primary-school children, showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have【R7】______views about what they want to read. Girls, in general, read more, and【R8】______more girls than boys preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a【R9】______for the more instant appeal of picture stories, or else books about their hobbies.
    These tastes continue【R10】______until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read more in general, but more fiction in particular. You could say that there are more【R11】______for girls to read fiction; magazines【R12】______the fiction habit in girls in their early teens, and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women’s magazines. Teenage boys【R13】______to buy magazines about their hobbies: motorcycles, heavy transport and so on.
    Adult reading tastes are also the【R14】______of research. Again the number of women who read for pleasure is【R15】______higher than the number of men. It seems that the majority of women still want love stories. There has also been some analysis of what men actually read. Apparently only 38 per cent of men read anything, but 50 per cent of what they read is fiction in the form of action-packed stories of space or gunmen.
A. cautiously B. examined C. discovered D. considerably
E. unchanged F. far G. taste H. claim
I. tend J. clear K. encourage L. circumstances
M. subject N. opportunities O. equivalent
【R8】

选项

答案F

解析 根据语法,不难判断此处应填一个副词来修饰其后具有形容词功能的限定词“more”,基本符合要求的有A、D、F三个选择,其中“far more”是常见的惯用法,意为“多得多的…”符合题意。而“cautiously(谨慎地)”在语义上不能与“more”一词连用。“considerably(很、非常、相当地)”符合语义,但语法上一般直接修饰实义形容词而不可与限定词“more”连用。
