问题 Though not biologically related,friends are as“related”as fourth cousins,sharing about 1%of genes.That is_（1）_a study,published from the University of California and Yale University in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,has__（2）_.The study is a genome-wide analysis conducted_（3）__1,932 unique subjects which__（4）__pairs of unrelated friends and unrelated strangers.The same people were used in both_（5）_.While 1%may seem_（6）_,it is not so to a geneticist.As James Fowler,professor of medical genetics at UC San Diego,says,“Most people do not even_（7）_their fourth cousins but somehow manage to select as friends the people who_（8）_our kin.”The study_（9）_found that the genes for smell were something shared in friends but not genes for immunity.Why this similarity exists in smell genes is difficult to explain,for now,_（10）_,as the team suggests,it draws us to similar environments but there is more_（11）_it.There could be many mechanisms working together that_（12）_us in choosing genetically similar friends_（13）_”functional Kinship”of being friends with_（14）_!One of the remarkable findings of the study was the similar genes seem to be evolution_（15）_than other genes Studying this could help_（16）_why human evolution picked pace in the last 30,000 years,with social environment being a major_（17）_factor.The findings do not simply explain people’s_（18）_to befriend those of similar_（19）_backgrounds,say the researchers.Though all the subjects were drawn from a population of European extraction,care was taken to_（20）_that all subjects,friends and strangers,were taken from the same population.9选？A.againB.alsoC.insteadD.thus
选项 A.again
B.also
C.instead
D.thus
答案 B
解析 上下文语义衔接+副词辨析空格处要求填入的副词修饰动词“found”，空所在的句子开头用“The study…”,显然讨论的是同一个研究，前文指出研究发现朋友与我们有1%的基因关系，而空所在句“the genes for smell were something shared in friends（朋友间在嗅觉基因方面有相关性）”在进一步详细讨论该话题，前后之间是顺接关系，A选项强调同样的东西再一次提及，C选项表示对比转折，D选项表示因果关系，只有B选项also表示顺接递进关系，故答案为B。
