　　It is hardly necessary for me to cite all the evidences of the depressing ____(1)____state of literacy. These sums from the Department of Education are ____(2)____sufficient: 27 million Americans cannot read at all, a further 35 million read on a level that is less than sufficient to survive in our society. (3) But my own worry today is more that of the overwhelming problem of____ (4)____elemental literacy than it is of the slightly more luxurious problem of the decline in the skill even of the middle-class reader, of his unwillingness to afford those spaces of silence, those luxuries of domesticity and time and concentrating,____ (5)____that surrounds the image of the classic act of reading. It has been suggested____ (6)____that almost 80 percent of America's literate, educated teenagers can no longer read with accompanying noise (music) in the background or a television screen flickered at the corner of their field of perception. We know____ (7)____very little about the brain and how it dealt with simultaneous conflicting ____(8)____input, but every common-sense intuition suggests we should be profoundly alarmed. This violation of concentration, silence, solitude goes to the very heart of our notion of literacy; this new form of part— reading, of partperception against background distraction, enders impossibly certain____ (9)____essential acts of apprehension and concentration, leave alone that most important tribute any human being can pay on a poem or a piece of prose he or ____(10)____she really loves, which is to learn it by heart. Not by brain, by heart; the expression is vital.

　　答案和解析:

　　1. evidences—evidence. evidence 为不可数名词，不能使用复

　　数形式。

　　2. sums—改成figures。sums 表示“总和”，但后面列举了一些具体数字，与总和并无多大关系。因此sums应改为figures。figures意即“数字”。

　　3. on—at。表示“在„„水平上”时，level 前须用介词at。

　　4. more—less。more A than B意即“与其说B，倒不如说A”而less A than B则表示与其说A，倒不如说B”。根据上下文，此处more应改为less。

　　5. concentrating—concentration。 and前后成分应对等，由于and前面是名词，其后面也应该用名词。因此concentrating应改为concentration。

　　6. that—which。这儿which用来指代前面的整个句子。

　　7. flickered—flickering，flicker为不及物动词，不宜使用过去分词形式作定语，故用现在分词形式作定语。

　　8. dealt—deals。该文章主要采用一般现在时，因此dealt应改为得deals。

　　9. impossibly —impossible。render sth + adj为一常用结构，表示“使„„如何”。如果其中宾语太长，可将其后置。显然impossibly 应改为impossible

　　10.on—to。pay tribute to sb/sth，系常用短语，意即“称赞某人⁄某物”。故on应改为to。
