问题 The Web sometimes is seemed as the Siren specter that lures us into sitting around like some species of houseplant while our trunk grows abnormally wide. Its【C1】______enticements keep us from doing what we know we should, like, say, making any movement whatsoever or【C2】______foods that do not come packaged in Styrofoam(泡沫塑料).
But according to a new research, the Internet can also be something else: a place for helping people keep weight off.
The new study,【C3】______over a two-and-a-half-year period, found that the more often people logged on to a website, the more likely they were to【C4】______weight loss. Of course, it wasn’t just any old website, but one that investigators at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research(KPCHR)had designed【C5】______to help people keep the pounds off.
What made the website work was its mixture of accountability(责任)and【C6】______Users were asked to log in once a week to【C7】______their weight and the amount of exercise they’d done. If they didn’t log in regularly, they got a little nudge by e-mail, then a(n) 【C8】______phone call. Once on the site, users could chat with other【C9】______of the study in a kind of mini-Facebook setting.
The site was designed to mimic as much as possible what it’s like to be in a weight-loss program that offers【C10】______counseling and group meetings. It wasn’t quite as effective as human-to-human interaction, but it was better than nothing at all.
A)abundant F)enter K)personal
B)attracts G)establish L)separately
C)automated H)maintain M)sociability
D)conducted I)obligation N)specifically
E)consuming J)participants O)warning [br] 【C4】

选项

答案 H

解析动词辨析题。根据空格前的were to结构和后面的 weight loss可以推断这里应填入动词原形。空格所在句句意为：新研究历时两年半多的时间，发现人们登录网站次数越频繁，就越有可能 ——体重减轻。分析几个动词原形可知，只有maintain“保持，维持”符合句意。
