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】______.

选项
A、within
B、under
C、about
D、Behind
答案
C
解析
介词辨析题。句意同上。本空后面的代词this是指研究发现,句意表述的是有关此项研究令人感到奇妙的地方,因此只有表示“相关,有关”的介词才符合上下文语境,故选用about。under和behind主要表示方位,within表示范围和限制,均不合适。
