问题     Remember books? They were those pieces of paper with words printed on them【C1】________in between two, sometimes,【C2】________covers. People bought them, and people borrowed them, but,【C3】________people used to read them. And then came screens. Six years into the【C4】________rise of mobile, half of American adults own a smartphone; over a third owns a tablet.
    Now, I’m joking about the end of books, but it’s easy and tempting to【C5】________that screens will continue their【C6】________on words and paper-bound books will be at the【C7】________of vanishing. But if you take a hard look at the data, it’s not the end of print. Not by a long shot.
    【C8】________, there hasn’t been a more【C9】________technology for capturing the hopes and the fears of new parents than the tablet. Touchscreens are so easy to【C10】________ that babies can use them and learn at younger ages than we thought possible—or babies can use them and use them and use them and lose out on other skills. We just don’t know what this does【C11】________young brains. All we know is we’re【C12】________a generation that sometimes finds magazines more【C13】________than iPads.
    Parents, of course, can’t not know. Or, if they really can’t, then they don’t want to take any【C14】________. And that’s why it’s not at all【C15】________that the vast, vast【C16】________of parents prefer reading printed books to their young children. Pew Research found that 94 percent of parents think it’s important to read print books to their children.
    Print【C17】________isn’t going away soon.【C18】________more people prefer e-readers, some would still rather read print. Books will become "luxuries". But, of course, the real test will come in the next few years when we see what kids who have been using tablets since before they could walk prefer to read.
    Print is in a long, slow【C19】________that feels like a death spiral, but isn’t quite so. For now, at least, the end of print is a long way off, even if kids these days can’t【C20】________how to turn the page.
【C13】
选项 A、bewildering
B、comfortable
C、fascinating
D、striking
答案A
解析 上文提到有可能幼儿由于过度使用触屏而丧失其他技能，可以推断这一代入更习惯的是使用触屏而不是纸质书，对他们而言在纸质书上阅读可能要比触屏上更困难。A项bewildering “令人困惑的，费解的”正确。B项comfortable、D项striking分别表示“舒适的”和“惊人的”，无法用于描述年轻一代的看法。C项fascinating “吸引人的”代入说明年轻一代认为杂志更吸引人。和原文逻辑相悖。
