问题     Ten years ago, Joe Allen began studying a diverse group of seventh graders near the University of Virginia, where he’s a professor. One of Allen’s main concerns was how these kids dealt with peer pressure, and how deeply they felt the pressure to【C1】______ to what the crowd was doing.
    According to every pop theory of【C2】______ , peer pressure is danger. Being able to resist it should be considered a sign of character strength. But a funny thing happened as Allen continued to follow these kids every year for the next 10 years: the kids who felt more peer pressure when they were 12 or 13 were turning out better.
    Notably, they had much higher-quality relationships with friends, parents, and【C3】______ partners. Their need to fit in, in the early teens, later【C4】______ itself as a willingness to accommodate—a necessary【C5】______ of all reciprocal relationships. The self-conscious kid who spent seventh grade convinced that everyone was watching her and learned to be attuned (与……合拍) to【C6】______ changes in others’ moods. Years down the road, that【C7】______ sensitivity lead to empathy (移情) and social adeptness.
    Meanwhile, those kids who did not feel much peer pressure to smoke, drink, and【C8】______ in seventh grade didn’t turn out to be the independent-minded stars we’d imagine. Instead, what was notable about them was that within five years they had a much lower GPA (grade point average). The kid who could say no to his peers turned out to be less engaged, all around, socially and【C9】______ . Basically, if he was so detached that he didn’t care what his peers thought, he probably wasn’t【C10】______ by what his parents or society expected of him, either.
A) adolescence E) morally I) smuggle M) motivated
B) trivial F) conform J) academically N) romantic
C) component G) subtle K) manifested O) heightened
D) shoplift H) ignited L) nutrient
【C1】
选项
答案F
解析 此处需填入动词原形，且能与介词to搭配。conform“遵守，顺从”符合要求。conform to what the crowd was doing可以理解为“顺从大众的行为”，句意为：他们所感受到的压力到了哪种程度会使他们产生从众行为。
