The group compared people’s use of " function words" which【C3】______carry any meaning on their own,【C4】______ help build context in conversations. Content words, such as nouns, adjectives and verbs, carry an【C5】______ meaning. Function words, on the other hand, vary in their use and help provide reference points in conversations.【C6】______, words like "the," " that" and " of"【C7】______ act as function words.
The researchers conducted two experiments to measure language similarities. One setup【C8】______ 40 speed dating sessions among college students,【C9】______ the couples’ conversations were recorded and transcribed for【C10】______. The study’s authors found that people who used function words similarly were more【C11】______to express romantic interest in seeing one another in the future. A second experiment measured the use of function words in the online chats of 86 couples over the【C12】______ of 10 days. The researchers found that couples that used function words similarly tended to still be together【C13】______.
Three months after the data were【C14】______, the team discovered that 76 percent of couples【C15】______ similar language styles were still together compared to 53 percent of other couples that【C16】______similar styles of speech.

选项
A、advances
B、transforms
C、overturns
D、reflects
答案
A
解析
动词辨析题。句意为:该项研究由奥斯汀的德克萨斯大学的研究人员主导,它加深了我们关于语言对恋爱关系的影响的认识。依据后文对研究的详细叙述可知,该研究会加深人们的认识,故advances符合前后文意。文中没有提及相反的观点,故排除transforms“改变”和overturns“推翻”;而说研究反映了人们的认识显然是不合常理的,因此排除reflects。
