问题 People who spend a lot of time surfing the Internet are more likely to show signs of depression, British scientists said on Wednesday.
But it is not clear whether the Internet causes depression or whether depressed people are【C1】______to it. Psychologists from Leeds University found what they said was "striking" evidence that some net users develop【C2】______Internet habits in which they replace real life social interaction with online chat rooms and social networking sites. "This study【C3】______the public speculation that over-engaging in websites that serve to replace normal social function might be linked to psychological disorders like depression and addiction," the study’s lead author, Catriona Morrison, wrote in the journal Psychopathology. "This type of addictive surfing can【C4】______impact the mental health." In the first large-scale study of Western young people to look at this【C5】______, the researchers analyzed Internet use and depression levels of 1,319 Britons aged between 16 and 51. Of these, 1.2 percent were "Internet addicted", they concluded. These "Internet addicts" spent【C6】______more time browsing sexually pleasing websites, online gaming sites and online【C7】______, Morrison said. They also had a higher incidence of moderate to【C8】______depression than normal users.
"Excessive Internet use is【C9】______with depression, but what we don’t know is which comes first— are depressed people drawn to the Internet or does the Internet cause depression?" Morrison said. "What is clear is that for a small set of people, excessive use of the Internet could be a warning【C10】______for depressive tendencies. "

E)signal F)dividends G)drawn H)issue
I)evaluates J)communities K)severe L)sunk
M)proportionately N)reckless O)compulsive [br] 【C3】

选项

答案 D

解析 this study表明此处需填入谓语动词第三人称单数形式。public speculation的同位语从句的内容为：过度使用那些旨在取代正常社交功能的网站可能会导致心理失调问题。上文提及的心理学家的研究观点与公众的猜想是一致的，所以填reinforces“加强；强化”。
