问题     Australian children are visiting social media websites at an increasingly younger age, a new survey suggests, with one in five "tweens" (children between the ages of about 10 and 14) admitting they have chatted to someone online they do not know.
    The report ’Tweens, Teens and Technology" by online security company McAfee found that children in the tweens age【C1】________of 8 to 12 were【C2】________technology faster than expected, with 67 percent using a social media website.【C3】________the age eligibility for Facebook being 13, one in four (26 percent)【C4】________using the site— although 95 percent said they had their parents’【C5】________to do so.
    The most【C6】________site for tweens was Skype (used by 28 percent),【C7】________children were also using Instagram, according to the survey of 500 youngsters geographically【C8】________of Australia’s online population.【C9】________the survey found that one in five tweens (19 percent) said they chatted to someone online that they did not know,【C10】________seven percent said they had shared personal information.
    Australia’s Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said it was【C11】________that children talk to strangers online. "It shows we must remain【C12】________to online threats," he said. The findings suggest the age at which children first use social media is【C13】________, given a 2012 McAfee survey of teens aged 13-17 found the average age they opened their first social network【C14】________was 13. On average, tweens were using three or four devices that can be Internet【C15】________, with 66 percent of them【C16】________mobile phones and/or tablets. Fifty-four percent said they used a tablet for more than an hour a day.
    Most tweens use their devices to【C17】________the Internet, and on average spend about 1.5 hours a day browsing the web, the survey said. "Both parents and schools are encouraged to keep a close【C18】________on their child’s online behavior to ensure they have safe online【C19】________," said Andrew Little proud, president of McAfee Asia-Pacific. "By working closely with child psychologists, we have seen that online behaviors firmly set in the tween age group so active education is【C20】________within eight to 12 age bracket."
【C11】
选项 A、amazing
B、tiring
C、troubling
D、frightening
答案C
解析 由下一句online threats(网络威胁)可知，孩子们在网上和陌生人聊天是件令人担忧的事。所填单词应含贬义。C项troubling“令人烦恼的”符合语义逻辑。A项amazing“令人惊异的”，隐含令人震惊和让人印象非常深刻之意，孩子们和陌生人聊天不至于令人惊异到这种地步。B项tiring“累人的”，如果网络聊天很累人，那么孩子应该不会继续聊天。不合逻辑。D项frightening“令人恐惧的”，虽说孩子们在网上和陌生人聊天存在安全隐患，但还不至于令人恐惧。
