It’s clear that social media like Twitter and Facebook are changing the way we live.
Indeed, we might feel as if we are suddenly【C1】______in friends. Yet, we’re also changing the way we【C2】______relationships. Face-to-face chatting is giving【C3】______to texting and messaging; people even prefer these electronic【C4】______to simply talking on a phone. Smaller circles of friends are being partially【C5】______by Facebook acquaintances routinely numbered in the hundreds. Growing research suggests we could be entering a period of crisis for the entire【C6】______of friendship.
Awareness of a possible problem【C7】______off just as the online world was emerging. In Britain, the Mental Health Foundation just published " The Lonely Society," which【C8】______that about half Brits believe they’re living in a lonelier society. One【C9】______three would like to live closer to their families, though social trends are forcing them to live farther【C10】______. Two-fifths of respondents report that they face a prevailing【C11】______away from their closest friends. We have plenty of acquaintances,【C12】______perhaps few we can turn to and share deep intimacies. American sociologists have tracked related trends on a broader【C13】______. According to work published in the American Sociological Review, the average American has only two close friends, and a quarter don’t have any.
Social scientists of the universities of Southern California and Toronto【C14】______refer to "some panic in the United States about a possible【C15】______in social connectivity." But notice their language: "social connectivity." That is not the same as intimate friendship. While social networking sites and the【C16】______have grown exponentially, the element that is crucial, and harder to investigate, is the【C17】______of the connections they nurture.
Yet we know that less is more【C18】______it comes to deeper relationships. A connection may only be a click away, but【C19】______a good friendship takes more. It seems common sense to【C20】______that "friending" online nurtures shallow relationships—as the neologism "friending" itself implies. [br] 【C5】
选项
A、eroded
B、modified
C、eclipsed
D、magnified
答案
C
解析
动词辨析题。从语义上看,该词应该和上一句中的giving way to“给……让路”相近。四个选项中,只有C)eclipsed“使……黯然失色;遮住……的光”符合题意。本句大意为:朋友的小圈子正在被脸谱网上数以百计的联系人淹没。A)eroded“腐蚀”;B)modified“修改;修饰”;D)magnified“放大,扩大”。
