选项 A、verbal
B、visual
C、oral
D、factual

答案B

解析 解此题的关键在于空白后的communications and images,A项"verbal(文字上的)"为强干扰项,因为前面写的都与writing有关,考生此处很容易选verbal,但是如将verbal放在这里,那空白后的"images"无从解释。实际上,此处的意思是说在一个视频通信和图像主导的社会里(写作技能相对锻炼得比较少),教师们感到有必要告诉学生写作与思维的重要联系。故空白处应选"visual",这样空白后的"images"也能说得通了。oral(口头的)和factual(事实的)则比较容易排除。
