The Internet and cell phones are bringing people together, not【C1】______ us apart—at least, according to a new survey recently by the Pew Internet and American Life project. The research followed up a shocking 2006 study, which found that American social networks were rapidly【C2】______ and that 25% of Americans reported that they had not one close friend or family member to rely on.
In【C3】______ , ’Pew researchers found that just 6% of those surveyed reported having no intimate relationships. Unfortunately, the new study did confirm the other findings, showing that Americans today do have far fewer close relationships than they did as recently as 1985.
According to both studies, the average social network shrunk by one-third since 1985—and more people today are relying only on spouses or family members for emotional support.
Intriguingly,【C4】______ , Internet and cell phone use didn’t replace close【C5】______ with more superficial contacts. Instead, people who most relied on these communication tools had a larger and more【C6】______ group of close friends and family members. They were more likely to be close to someone of another race, for example.
And,【C7】______ to net opposers’ worries, Internet use didn’t replace involvement in local activities. In fact, bloggers and cell users are more likely to【C8】______ to local organizations like youth groups and charities, not less so.
Such【C9】______ effects of the Internet are good news for public health. Studies have shown repeatedly that the number and quality of people’s relationships affects many aspects of well-being. The more connected people are, the healthier they tend to be.
Consequently, the shrinkage in network size remains a serious cause for concern—but these results suggest that mobile and Internet communication are not【C10】______ problematic and can even be part of the solution.
A) surely E) however I) necessarily M) positive
B) compare F) ties J) contrast N) tearing
C) single G) negative K) contrary O) diverse
D) cutting H) belong L) contracting
【C4】
选项
答案
E
解析
该空格是一个插入语,所以可推断应填入一个副词。上句话讲到社会网络自1985年以来平均萎缩了三分之一。本句说,有趣的是,互联网和手机的使用并没有使人们之间的密切______被泛泛之交所替代。可以看出两句话是转折的关系,故选however。
