问题     A study of how older teenagers use social media has found that Facebook is "not just on the slide, it is basically dead and buried" and is being replaced by simpler social networks such as Twitter and Snapchat. Young people now see the site as "uncool" and keep their【C1】________live purely to stay in touch with older【C2】________among whom it remains popular.
    Daniel Miller, who worked on the research, wrote: "Mostly they feel embarrassed even to be【C3】________with it" This year marked the start of what looks likely to be a【C4】________decline of what had been the most popular social networking sites. Young people are turning away in crowds and【C5】________other social networks instead,【C6】________the worst people of all, their parents, continue to use the service.
    "Where【C7】________parents worried about their children joining Facebook, the children now say it is their family that insists they stay there to【C8】________about their lives. Parents have worked【C9】________how to use the site and see it【C10】________a way for the family to remain connected.【C11】________, the young are moving on to cooler things. What appears to be the most important factor in a young person’s【C12】________to leave Facebook was【C13】________that your mum sends you a friend request." A study observed 16- to 18-year-olds in eight countries for 15 months and found that Facebook use was in decline. Instead, young people are turning to simpler services like Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and WhatsApp which Professor Miller【C14】________were "no match" for Facebook【C15】________functionality.
    "Most of the school children in our survey【C16】________that in many ways, Facebook is technically better than Twitter or Instagram. It is more【C17】________, better for photo albums, organising parties and more【C18】________for observing people’s relationships," said Professor Miller, adding that "efficient isn’t always best" in【C19】________young users.
    WhatsApp has overtaken Facebook as the number one way to send messages, say the researchers, while Snapchat has gained in popularity in recent months by allowing users to send images which "self-destruct" after a short period on the recipients phone in order to maintain【C20】________.
【C1】
选项 A、profiles
B、catalogues
C、histories
D、desires
答案A
解析 本句提到如今年轻人觉得Facebook一点都不酷，他们还继续使用它纯粹是为了和某些人保持联系。只有在Facebook上的账号依然有效才能够实现联系他人的目的，故选A项profiles“个人档案”，在文章的语境下可指“个人账号”。B项catalogues意为“目录，手册”，通常是指商品的目录，与主题无关。C项histories意为“历史”。D项desires意为“欲望”，保存他们的历史或欲望均不能与后面的to stay in touch with呼应，不能实现与他人联系的目的。
