【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了有声读物让人们可以一边从事其它活动,一边听一本书。因为它的便利,现在“听”书变成了一种流行趋势。
【1】考查并列连词。句意:由于当今的快节奏生活,对于很多人来说,读一本纸质的书可能是一个被遗忘的奢侈品,但是在购物或者慢跑时听一本书是一个流行的趋势。根据句意可知,上下文是转折意义,故填but。
【2】考查形容词比较级。句意:现在,有声读物很容易以与印刷书籍同样的价格在网上下载,如果不低于有声读物。根据句意可知,此处是指下载有声读物的价格一般低于,或者等于印刷读物的价格,文中暗含“比较”的含义,故填lower。
【3】考查名词。分析句子可知,此处应用名词作为介词as的宾语,又此处代指出版物,即书籍,故应用复数形式,故填editions。
【4】考查固定短语。此处考查固定短语spend time (in) doing sth.“花时间做某事”,应用动名词作为介词in的宾语,其中in可以省略,故填looking。
【5】考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此处应用非谓语动词作宾补,逻辑主语story和tell之间是被动关系,应用过去分词,故填told。
【6】考查时态。分析句子可知,此处是句子谓语动词,由下文的for a long time判断为现在完成时,主语books是复数,故填have become。
【7】考查副词。分析句子可知,此处应用副词作状语修饰后面的整个句子,故填simply。
【8】考查定语从句。分析句子可知,此处是定语从句关系词,先行词place在从句中充当地点状语,应用关系副词where,故填where。
【9】考查介词。此处考查固定用法in the…form“以……形式”,故填in。
【10】考查代词。句意:当有声读物以数字形式变得可以获得时,人们开始一边做其它事情,一边听它们——当他们购物时、慢跑时、进行家务等时。根据句意可知,此处应用代词them指代上文提到的audio books作为use的宾语,故填them。
