问题     My Space and other Web sites have unleashed a potent new phenomenon of social networking in cyberspace,【1】at the same time, a growing body of evidence is suggesting that traditional social【2】play a surprisingly powerful and under-recognized role in influencing how people behave.
    The latest research comes from Dr. Nicholas A. Christakis, at the Harvard Medical School, and Dr. James H. Fowler, at the University of California at San Diego. 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. And, surprisingly, entire networks of smokers appear to quit virtually【10】.
    For【11】of their studies, they【12】of detailed records kept between 1971 and 2003 about 5,124 people who participated in the landmark Framingham Heart Study.  Because many of the subjects had ties to the Boston suburb of Framingham, Mass. , many of the participants were【13】somehow—through spouses, neighbors, friends, co-workers—enabling the researchers to study a network that【14】12,067 people.

And【18】may be possible, the researchers say, to harness the power of these networks for many【19】, such as encouraging safe sex, getting more people to exercise or even【20】crime.

选项 A、order
B、ways
C、fear
D、case

答案B

解析 本题要求考生根据上下文选择符合原文含义的名词。本题看似考搭配,其实不然。空格前的意思是“行为被社交圈落所影响”,空格后的意思是人“对此尚不完全了解”。A选项构成in order that(为了,表目的);C选项构成in fear that是错误搭配(for fear that);D选项构成incase that。三者均无法贯通前后文。只有B选项,填入后构成in ways that...,其中in ways表示方式,that...是定语从句,修饰方式。本句同位语从句部分的意思是:交际圈以某些人们尚且还不充分了解的方式影响着诸多行为。
