问题     Australian children are visiting social media websites at an increasingly younger age, a new survey suggests, with one in five "tweens" (children between the ages of about 10 and 14) admitting they have chatted to someone online they do not know.
    The report "Tweens, Teens and Technology" by online security company McAfee fodnd that children in the tweens age【C1】________of 8 to 12 were【C2】________technology faster than expected, with 67 percent using a social media website.【C3】________the age eligibility for Facebook being 13, one in four (26 percent)【C4】________using the site— although 95 percent said they had their parents’【C5】________ to do so.
    The most【C6】________site for tweens was Skype (used by 28 percent),【C7】________children were also using Instagram, according to the survey of 500 youngsters geographically【C8】________of Australia’s online population.【C9】________the survey found that one in five tweens (19 percent) said they chatted to someone online that they did not know,【C10】________seven percent said they had shared personal information.
    Australia’s Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said it was【C11】________that children talk to strangers online. "It shows we must remain【C12】________to online threats," he said. The findings suggest the age at which children first use social media is【C13】________given a 2012 McAfee survey of teens aged 13-17 found the average age they opened their first social network【C14】________was 13. On average, tweens were using three or four devices that can be Internet【C15】________, with 66 percent of them【C16】________mobile phones and/or tablets. Fifty-four percent said they used a tablet for more than an hour a day.
    Most tweens use their devices to【C17】________the Internet, and on average spend about 1.5 hours a day browsing the web, the survey said. "Both parents and schools are encouraged to keep a close【C18】________on their child’s online behavior to ensure they have safe online【C19】________," said Andrew Littleproud, president of McAfee Asia-Pacific. "By working closely with child psychologists, we have seen that online behaviors firmly set in the tween age group so active education is【C20】________within eight to 12 age bracket."
【C4】
选项 A、opposed to
B、cared about
C、admitted to
D、failed in
答案C
解析 本句提到的one in four(26 percent)的小孩因年龄太小本来不能上Facebook，但是空格后的using the site说明很多孩子已经违规使用该网站。admit to doing sth. 表示“承认某事”，这些孩子承认正在使用Facebook，故选C项admitted to。A项opposed to“反对”，此处讨论的是孩子们使用网络的情况，不涉及到反对使用网络的孩子，与主题无关。B项cared about“在乎”，孩子们在乎使用网络，语义不通顺。D项failed in“未能……”，无语义线索表明孩子们未能成功上网。
