Language style affects long-term relationship strength and the compatibility of existing and would-be couples, suggests a new study. Led by researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, the study 【C1】______ our understanding of how language influences【C2】______.
The group compared people’s use of " function words" which【C3】______ carry any meaning on their own,【C4】______help build context in conversations. Content words, such as nouns, adjectives and verbs, carry an【C5】______ meaning. Function words, on the other hand, vary in their use and help provide reference points in conversations.【C6】______, words like " the," "that" and "of"【C7】______act as function words.
The researchers conducted two experiments to measure language similarities. One setup【C8】______ 40 speed dating sessions among college students, 【C9】______ the couples’ conversations were recorded and transcribed for【C10】______. 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】______.
Three months after the data were【C14】______, the team discovered that 76 percent of couples 【C15】______ similar language styles were still together compared to 53 percent of other couples that 【C16】______similar styles of speech.
The findings suggest that romantic compatibility may not depend【C17】______ on saying the right things but rather whether they’re said in a 【C18】______way. James Pennebaker, a coauthor of the study, comments on the natural【C19】______of these speech styles in a press release: " What’s wonderful【C20】______this is we don’t really make that decision; it just comes out of our mouths.
【C11】
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。
