"On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog," read the title of a famous Peter Steiner cartoon, (1)_____ nowhere is it truer than Internet dating. The experience is by now familiar: the(2)_____ mate who seemed just your(3)_____ in a profile turns out to be a disappointment in person.
There may be ways, however, to(4)_____ a lying person before you find yourself(5)_____ from him or her at a table lit by candles. Researchers from Cornell University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison compared the(6)_____ heights, weights, and ages of 78 Internet dating participants to their profiles on four dating websites. They noticed several(7)_____ from people who were less than(8)_____. For example, they were less likely to(9)_____ to themselves as "I"; used indirect expressions,(10)_____ "not boring" instead of "exciting" to describe themselves; and stuck to(11)_____ descriptions.
"People do this because they want to(12)_____ themselves from their misleading statements," explained Catalina Toma, an author of the study, in a statement. Using these indications, the researchers(13)_____ identified liars about 65 percent of the time. People lied most frequently about their(14)______, with women slimming down, on average, by 8.5 pounds, and men by 1.5 pounds. At least half the subjects(15)_____ their height, and nearly 20 percent changed their age.
Despite the(16)_____ of lies, volunteers proved (17)_____ at catching them. Fortunately, Toma and the team’s research(18)_____ up the possibility of a software that could(19)_____ lies for you, though Internet dating participants should be careful what they wish for—nearly everyone in the study lied in some(20)_____ way.

选项
A、transform
B、switch
C、altered
D、modify
答案
C
解析
空格所在句and连接两个并列分句,后一分句说20%的人谎报年龄。由此推测前面是说近一半的人谎报身高,空格处需填入与changed近义的动词,因此选alter“改变,更改”。transform强调“改变性质和外观”;switch“转变,转换”;modify“修改(使变得完善)”。
