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] 【C13】

解析
名词辨析题。在此之前的内容都在说明关于英国人的感悟,本句提出美国人的看法,句子使用broader修饰两国人比较的内容,从意思上来判断,所填名词应该表示“规模”之意。A)scale“规模”,符合文意。B)extent常用于to a largeextent,意为“在很大程度上”;C)scope表示“(活动或视察、探讨的)范围,领域”,常用within/beyond the scope表示“在……范围之内/外”;D)domain强调“(知识艺术、兴趣或人类活动的)领域,范围”。
