问题     Though not biologically related, friends are as "related" as fourth cousins, sharing about 1% of genes. That is【C1】______a study, published from the University of California and Yale University in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has【C2】______.
    The study is a genome-wide analysis conducted【C3】______1,932 unique subjects which【C4】______pairs of unrelated friends and unrelated strangers. The same people were used in both【C5】______.
    While 1% may seem【C6】______, it is not so to a geneticist. As James Fowler, professor of medical genetics at UC San Diego, says, "Most people do not even【C7】______their fourth cousins but somehow manage to select as friends the people who【C8】______our kin."
    The study【C9】______found that the genes for smell were something shared in friends but not genes for immunity. Why this similarity exists in smell genes is difficult to explain, for now.【C10】______, as the team suggests, it draws us to similar environments but there is more【C11】______it. There could be many mechanisms working together that【C12】______us in choosing genetically similar friends【C13】______"functional kinship" of being friends with【C14】______!
    One of the remarkable findings of the study was that the similar genes seem to be evolving【C15】______than other genes. Studying this could help【C16】______why human evolution picked pace in the last 30,000 years, with social environment being a major【C17】______factor.
    The findings do not simply corroborate people’ s【C18】______to befriend those of similar【C19】______backgrounds, say the researchers. Though all the subjects were drawn from a population of European extraction, care was taken to【C20】______that all subjects, friends and strangers, were taken from the same population.
【C7】
选项 A、visit
B、miss
C、know
D、seek
答案C
解析 考查动词辨析。本句意为“大多数人甚至并不______他们的第四代表亲，但却不知怎么的选择那些…”。填入的词必须满足前后句之间的转折关系，将四个选项带入，只有C．know“认识，知道”符合上下文语义。visit“访问，参观”，miss“错过；想念”，seek“寻找；探索”均不符合语境。
