问题     People who have Internet access at home are more likely to be in a
relationship, with the Web gaining in importance as a meeting place for
those seeking love, according to the latest research in the US.
    " Since prior research on the social impacts of Internet use has been【S1】________
rather ambiguous about the social cost of time spending online, our【S2】________
research suggests that Internet access has an important role to play on【S3】________
helping Americans find mates," said Michael Rosenfeld, an associate professor of sociology.
    The study, which presented at the annual meeting of the American【S4】________
Sociological Association in Atlanta on Monday, showed that 82 percent
of people in the study who had Internet access at home also had a spouse
or romantic partner, comparing to 62 percent for those who did not have【S5】________
Internet access.
    Rosenfeld and Reuben Thomas, of the City University of New
York, found the Internet is the one social arena that is unambiguously
gaining importance as a place which couples meet.【S6】________
    "It is possible that in the next several years the Internet could
eclipse friends as the most influential way which Americans meet their【S7】________
romantic partners, displacing friends out of the top position for the first
time since the early 1940s,"  Rosenfeld said in the statement.  The【S8】________
researchers said they found that the Internet was specially important for【S9】________
finding potential partners in groups where the supply is small or difficult
to identify such as the gay,  lesbian,  and middle-aged heterosexual【S10】________
communities.
【S5】
选项
答案comparing—compared
解析 非谓语动词误用。该句意为“……研究显示，在家中可上网的人群中，82％的人有配偶或爱人，而在家中不能上网的人群中，这一比例为52％。”compared to意为“与……相比”，放于句首时，compare与句子的主语为逻辑上的动宾关系，应采用过去分词形式表被动，故将comparing改为compared。
