问题     Australian children are visiting social media websites at an increasingly younger age, a new survey suggests, with one in five "tweens" (children between the ages of about 10 and 14) admitting they have chatted to someone online they do not know.
    The report "Tweens, Teens and Technology" by online security company McAfee fodnd that children in the tweens age【C1】________of 8 to 12 were【C2】________technology faster than expected, with 67 percent using a social media website.【C3】________the age eligibility for Facebook being 13, one in four (26 percent)【C4】________using the site— although 95 percent said they had their parents’【C5】________ to do so.
    The most【C6】________site for tweens was Skype (used by 28 percent),【C7】________children were also using Instagram, according to the survey of 500 youngsters geographically【C8】________of Australia’s online population.【C9】________the survey found that one in five tweens (19 percent) said they chatted to someone online that they did not know,【C10】________seven percent said they had shared personal information.
    Australia’s Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said it was【C11】________that children talk to strangers online. "It shows we must remain【C12】________to online threats," he said. The findings suggest the age at which children first use social media is【C13】________given a 2012 McAfee survey of teens aged 13-17 found the average age they opened their first social network【C14】________was 13. On average, tweens were using three or four devices that can be Internet【C15】________, with 66 percent of them【C16】________mobile phones and/or tablets. Fifty-four percent said they used a tablet for more than an hour a day.
    Most tweens use their devices to【C17】________the Internet, and on average spend about 1.5 hours a day browsing the web, the survey said. "Both parents and schools are encouraged to keep a close【C18】________on their child’s online behavior to ensure they have safe online【C19】________," said Andrew Littleproud, president of McAfee Asia-Pacific. "By working closely with child psychologists, we have seen that online behaviors firmly set in the tween age group so active education is【C20】________within eight to 12 age bracket."
【C17】
选项 A、access
B、share
C、assess
D、avoid
答案A
解析 后半句提到少儿每天平均会花1.5小时上网(browsing the web)，说明他们使用这些设备(use their devices)的目的之一就是使用网络。access the Internet意为“上网”，故选A项。B项share“分享”，少儿使用设备来上网，而非与他人分享网络。C项assess“评估”，青少年使用这些设备的目的不是为了评估网络，而是为了网上。D项avoid“避免”，如果说少儿使用这些设备是为了避开网络，就不会出现后面所说的花1.5小时上网。
