The Internet and cell phones are bringing people together, not【C1】______us apart—at least, according to a new survey recently by the Pew Internet and American life project. The research followed up a shocking 2006 study, which found that American social networks were rapidly【C2】______and that 25% of Americans reported that they had not one close friend or family member to rely on.
In【C3】______, Pew researchers found that just 6% of those surveyed reported having no intimate relationships. Unfortunately, the new study did confirm the other findings, showing that Americans today do have far fewer close relationships than they did as recently as 1985.
According to both studies, the average social network shrunk by one-third since 1985—and more people today are relying only on spouses or family members for emotional support.
Intriguingly,【C4】______, Internet and cell phone use didn’t replace close【C5】______with more superficial contacts. Instead, people who most relied on these communication tools had a larger and more【C6】______group of close friends and family members. They were more likely to be close to someone of another race, for example.
And,【C7】______to net opposers’ worries, Internet use didn’t replace involvement in local activities. In fact, bloggers and cell users are more likely to【C8】______to local organizations like youth groups and charities, not less so.
Such【C9】______effects of the Internet are good news for public health. Studies have shown repeatedly that the number and quality of people’s relationships affects many aspects of well-being. The more connected people are, the healthier they tend to be.
Consequently, the shrinkage in network size remains a serious cause for concern—but these results suggest that mobile and Internet communication are not【C10】______problematic and can even be part of the solution.
A)surely I)necessarily
B)compare J)contrast
C)single K)contrary
D)cutting L)contracting
E)however M)positive
F)ties N)tearing
G)negative O)diverse
H)belong
【C2】
选项
答案
L
解析
该空格位于系动词were后,故此处可能填入动词的现在分词或过去分词,或形容词。下半句讲到25%的美国人报告说他们没有一个可以依靠的亲密朋友或家人,根据修饰报告的形容词shocking“令人震惊的”。可推知美国的社交网络正在迅速“收缩”,故选contracting。
