Language style affects long-term relationship strength and the compatibility of existing and would-be couples, suggests a new study. Led by researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, the study【C1】______ our understanding of how language influences【C2】______.
The group compared people’s use of " function words" which【C3】______carry any meaning on their own,【C4】______ help build context in conversations. Content words, such as nouns, adjectives and verbs, carry an【C5】______ meaning. Function words, on the other hand, vary in their use and help provide reference points in conversations.【C6】______, words like "the," " that" and " of"【C7】______ act as function words.
The researchers conducted two experiments to measure language similarities. One setup【C8】______ 40 speed dating sessions among college students,【C9】______ the couples’ conversations were recorded and transcribed for【C10】______. The study’s authors found that people who used function words similarly were more【C11】______to express romantic interest in seeing one another in the future. A second experiment measured the use of function words in the online chats of 86 couples over the【C12】______ of 10 days. The researchers found that couples that used function words similarly tended to still be together【C13】______.
Three months after the data were【C14】______, the team discovered that 76 percent of couples【C15】______ similar language styles were still together compared to 53 percent of other couples that【C16】______similar styles of speech.
The findings suggest that romantic compatibility may not depend【C17】______ on saying the right things but rather whether they’re said in a【C18】______way. James Pennebaker, a coauthor of the study, comments on the natural【C19】______ of these speech styles in a press release; " What’s wonderful【C20】______this is we don’t really make that decision; it just comes out of our mouths.
【C13】
选项
A、finally
B、anyway
C、forever
D、later
答案
D
解析
副词辨析题。句意为:研究人员发现,在功能词的使用方面具有相似性的情侣日后更可能在一起。根据后文的信息,相似语言风格的情侣比语言风格不同的情侣在一起的时间长,此处也是讲相处时间的,故选择later“日后,后来”。anyway“无论如何”不是表示时间的副词;文章并没有讲到这些情侣最终是否都会在一起,故排除finally“最终”和forever“永远”。
