Online social networks are massively influential, yet we understand very little about the impact they have on our brains. Recently, scientists have found a direct【C1】______ between the number of Facebook friends a person has and the size of【C2】______ brain regions. The study also shows the more Facebook friends a person has, the more real-world friends he is【C3】______to have.
Facebook users who have a【C4】______ of friends also tend to have smaller circles of friends in the real-world and,【C5】______ those who have thousands of friends on Facebook are likely to have larger circles offline, according to the study. The findings support the【C6】______ that most Facebook users use the site to【C7】______ their existing, real-life social relationships, maintaining or reinforcing these friendships,【C8】______creating a network of entirely new,【C9】______friends.
The researchers scanned the brains of 125 university-aged Facebook users,【C10】______these scans to the size of their friend networks online and the real-world. Those with larger Facebook networks had larger amounts of grey matter in several regions of the brain. One of these regions, the amygdala, is【C11】______with processing memory and emotional responses. Pairing this【C12】______ another recent study, the researchers show increased volume grey matter in the amygdala【C13】______a larger network of real-world friends.【C14】______ these studies show a large network of online friends also point to an increased volume of grey matter—【C15】______ information processing occurs. In addition to brain scans, the participants were asked questions【C16】______to compare the size of their online networks to the size of their real-world networks.
The study【C17】______ the correlation between the number of friends online【C18】______ offline. Still, it is not possible from the【C19】______to say whether having more Facebook friends makes the regions of the brain larger【C20】______ whether some people are " hardwired" to have more friends.
【C1】
选项
A、similarity
B、joint
C、distinction
D、link
答案
D
解析
名词辨析题。句意为:近来,科学家们发现一个人在“脸书”上拥有的好友数量与脑部特定区域的大小有直接关联。通读全文,尤其是第三段第二句“脸书好友圈越大,几个脑部区域的灰质量就越大”,说明好友圈的数量与脑部的一区域的大小有直接关联,故D项的link符合文意。“脸书”的好友数量与脑部区域的大小为不同类别的事物,不具有可比性,因此,应首先排除similarity“相似性”和distinction“区别,差别”;而joint“结合处”主要指两个事物相连接的部位,表示一种具体的物理关系,而不是抽象的联系,排除。
