问题     As Valentine’s Day approaches, many single people begin to feel a little sorry for themselves. On a day【C1】________ by couples, this can lead to feelings of【C2】________and loneliness, say researchers.【C3】________, don’t worry—they say it could【C4】________be good for you.
    "On the【C5】________of everyday life, it is understandable how something as personally【C6】________as loneliness could be regarded as a plague on human existence," John Cacioppoat and his fellow researchers at the University of Chicago write in the journal Cognition & Emotion. "Research【C7】________the past decade suggests a very different view of loneliness than suggested by personal experience, one in which loneliness【C8】________a variety of adaptive functions in【C9】________habitats."
    "Although it may feel like loneliness has no redeeming【C10】________it promotes behavior change to increase the likelihood of the survival of one’s genes. The pain of loneliness served to【C11】________us to renew the connections we needed to ensure survival and to promote social trust, cohesiveness, and collective action."
    However, there was also bad news—researchers found the ’lonely’ are viewed more negatively in terms of their psychosocial functioning and attractiveness.
    "In a social environment non-lonely people form a negative impression【C12】________lonely people, which then affects their behavior and【C13】________the lonely individual’s perceived isolated existence," the researchers wrote. "【C14】________. individuals rated opposite-gender partners who they expected to be lonely as less sociable, and【C15】________towards them in a less sociable【C16】________than they did toward partners they expected not to be-lonely."
    The team even say loneliness could be behind many sports fans decision to【C17】________their team. "The emergence of a collective connectedness factor underlying loneliness, therefore, suggests that we may have evolved the capacity for and motivation to form relationships not only with other individuals but also with groups (e.g., a Chicago Cubs or Boston Red Sox fan), with the【C18】________being the promotion of co-operation in【C19】________conditions (e.g., competition, warfare). The identification with and investments in the group, in turn, may increase the likelihood of the continuity of the group, its members, and their individual genetic【C20】________."
【C8】
选项 A、serves
B、designs
C、plays
D、protects
答案A
解析 第一段提到孤独可能对单身人士有好处，说明孤独可能起到一定的作用。本句是一个定语从句，从句缺一个谓语动词与后面的宾语functions搭配。A项serves可与functions搭配，表示“起到……作用”。语义符合。B项designs意为“设计”，孤独无法设计多种适应作用。C项plays表达“起到……作用”时要和role搭配，与functions搭配不当。D项protects “保护”与functions搭配后语义不通顺。
