    The most【C6】______site for tweens was Skype (used by 28 percent),【C7】______children were also using Instagram, according to the survey of 500 youngsters geographically【C8】______of Australia’s online population.【C9】______the survey found that one in five tweens (19 percent) said they chatted to someone online that they did not know,【C10】______seven percent said they had shared personal information.
    Australia’s Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said it was【C11】______that children talk to strangers online. "It shows we must remain【C12】______to online threats," he said. The findings suggest the age at which children first use social media is【C13】______, given a 2012 McAfee survey of teens aged 13-17 found the average age they opened their first social network【C14】______was 13.

Fifty-four percent said they used a tablet for more than an hour a day.
    Most tweens use their devices to【C17】______the Internet, and on average spend about 1.5 hours a day browsing the web, the survey said. "Both parents and schools are encouraged to keep a close【C18】______on their child’s online behavior to ensure they have safe online【C19】______," said Andrew Littleproud, president of McAfee Asia-Pacific.

【C8】
选项 A、independent
B、representative
C、critical
D、characteristic
答案B
解析 本句提到的调查对象是500 youngsters(500位年轻网民)，这个数字只是澳大利亚上网人群(Australia’s online population)中的一小部分，空格词后of可以表示整体和部分的关系。B项representative“代表”符合此处的语境，并能和geographically描述该人群的特征，符合调查研究选取样本的原则。
