Of all the students surveyed, 27 percent said they had never used the 18.
答案：(A) Net
the Net（網際網路）呼應全文主題 The Internet has replaced books...，指27%學生從未使用過網路；survey／books／respondents 皆不符合語境。
四個選項都是名詞，都能接在 the 後面，你會憑中文挑一個。
關鍵在定冠詞 the。the ＋ 名詞指的是前面已經提過的那一個，而這一篇從頭到尾在講的就是網路。Net 是 Internet 的簡稱，the Net 就是「網路」。整句在說：所有受調查的學童裡，有兩成七說他們從來沒用過網路。填進去讀成 27 percent said they had never used the Net。前一句的 instead of going online（而不是上網）也在同一條線上，兩句講的是同一件事的兩面。
survey（調查）填進去會變成「學童從沒用過這項調查」，但調查是做在他們身上的，不是他們拿來用的東西；books（書）與前一句剛講過「有人轉而看書」自相矛盾；respondents（受訪者）是人，不是拿來「用」的。
the Net（網路，Internet 的簡稱）、surf the Net（上網瀏覽）、the ＋ 名詞（回指前面提過的那一個）、those surveyed（被調查的那些人）、a questionnaire（問卷）、percent（百分之……）。
