The【3】reported last summer that obesity appeared to【4】from one person to another【5】social networks, almost like a virus or a fad. In a follow-up to that provocative research, the team has produced【6】findings about another major health【7】: smoking. In a study published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine, the team found that a person’s decision to【8】the habit is strongly affected by【9】other people in their social network quit—even people they do not know.

选项 A、made a companion
B、took advantage
C、took an attitude
D、had the best

答案B

解析 空格内所填入的信息应该能与空格后的介词of构成固定搭配,该动词词组为句子的谓语成分。前面的主语是they,指两位研究者,宾语成分是detailed records,本题考查的是句子主干的搭配,主干的意思是“他们……详细数据”,从后文enabling the researchers to study a network可以得知,这些数据来源——被试者们——对研究者们的工作有利,因此综合考虑主干信息和后文内容反映出的对数据的态度,选择B选项,they took advantage of the detailed records,即他们采用或利用了详细数据。
