问题     People who spend a lot of time surfing the Internet are more likely to show signs of depression British scientists said on Wednesday.
    But it is not clear whether the Internet causes depression or whether depressed people are【C1】______ to it. Psychologists from Leeds University found what they said was "striking" evidence that some net users develop【C2】______ Internet habits in which they replace real life social interaction with online chat rooms and social networking sites. "This study【C3】______ the public speculation that over-engaging in websites that serve to replace normal social function might be linked to psychological disorders like depression and addiction," the study’s lead author, Catriona Morrison, wrote in the journal Psyckopathology. "This type of addictive surfing can【C4】______ impact the mental health." In the first large scale study of Western young people to look at this【C5】______ , the researchers analyzed Internet use and depression levels of 1,319 Britons aged between 16 and 51. Of these, 1.2 percent were "Internet addicted", they concluded. These "Internet addicts" spent【C6】______ more time browsing sexually pleasing websites, online gaming sites and online【C7】______ , Morrison said. They also had a higher incidence of moderate to【C8】______ depression than normal users.
    "Excessive Internet use is【C9】______ with depression, but what we don’t know is which comes first-are depressed people drawn to the Internet or does the Internet cause depression?" Morrison said. "What is clear is that for a small set of people, excessive use of the Internet could be a warning【C10】______ for depressive tendencies."
A) associated B) gravely C) quantitatively D) reinforces
E) signal F) dividends G) drawn H) issue
I) evaluates J) communities K) severe L) sunk
M) proportionately N) reckless O) compulsive
【C6】
选项
答案M
解析 此处需填入副词，修饰more。上一句提到，1．2％的人“上网成瘾”，据此推测这些人在浏览色情网站、在线游戏网站和网络社区上花很多时间。proportionately“成比例地”符合语义，proportionately more time指“占用的时间比例更大”。more本来就形容时间更多，故不使用quantitatively“数量上”修饰，避免造成语义重复。
