问题     A four-year study by sociologists at The University of
Manchester has found that women are much likely than men to【M1】______
make deep and lasting friendships. The investigation into social
networks by the University’s Research Centre for Socio-Cultural
Change found that men are more fickle and calculating about who
they should be friends. Women, on the other hand, stand by their【M2】______
friends through thick and thin. Adding to the bad news for male
prestige, the study confirms the stereotype which men are likely to【M3】______
base their friendship on social drinking.
    Of the 10,000 individuals studying who took part in the 1992【M4】______
to 2002 British Household Panel Surveys, women are much more
likely to stay with the same friends. Single people, elder people【M5】______
and white collar workers are also good at paring up. Middle class
people are more likely to cast their net of friendship far more【M6】______
wider, or the working class tend to stick to their own kind.【M7】______
Dr Gindo Tampubolon said the findings to female friendship【M8】______
were double significant because the data suggest we are much【M9】______
more likely to socialize with people from our own gender—75 per
cent of best friends were with the same sex. Dr Tampubolon, who
is based at the School of Social Sciences, said: " Friendship
between women seems to be fundamentally similar to friendship【M10】______
between men."

选项

答案elder一older/elderly

解析 词汇错误。elder一般指“(两个人中)年长的”,无比较级,若作名词“长者,前辈”则通常用复数形式,且后不接people。elderly作形容词。指上了年纪的人,older是old的比较级,泛指年纪较大的人,故此处应该用elderly或older,以符合文意。
