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] 【C6】
选项
答案 M
解析 名词辨析题。由空格所在句的固定短语mixture of和and可知，这里应填一个与accountability在形式和意思上并列的单词。通读第四段可以看出，第一句是中心句，下文分别就accountability和空格处单词展开论述。第二句和第三句阐述的是网站对用户的accountability“责任”方面，最后一句阐述的是第一句中空格处的内容。根据最后一句中的chat with other．．．可以推断出，sociability“社交性”符合句意。
