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、joyful
B、willing
C、likely
D、eager
答案
C
解析
形容词辨析题。句意为:该研究的作者们发现,使用近似的功能词的人们更可能对将来继续约会彼此表现出兴趣。根据上下文信息,使用相似功能词汇的更可能彼此接受对方,表现出约会的兴趣,故选用likely。此处是描述试验发现,应使用客观性词汇,因此可以排除joyful“高兴的”、willing“愿意的”、eager“热切的”等表示主观情绪的词汇。
