问题    Contrary to common belief social media websites such as Facebook do not【C1】______personal ties, they strengthen them in unique ways for different age groups, according to a new study.
   The rapid spread of Facebook, which has more than 500 million users worldwide, has prompted concerns about its 【C2】______ effects, but researchers at the University of Texas have 【C3】______ a different conclusion.
   "Our findings suggest that Facebook is not supplanting face-to-face【C4】______between friends, family and colleagues," said S. Craig Watkins, an associate professor of radio, TV and film who headed the research team. "In fact, we believe there is【C5】______evidence that social media afford opportunities for new expressions of friendship, intimacy and community."
   The researchers 【C6】______ 900 college students and recent graduates about how and with whom they interact on Facebook.
   More than 60 percent of Facebook users said posting status updates was among the most popular activities, followed by 60 percent who wrote comments on their profile and 49 percent who 【C7】______ messages and comments to friends.
   The researchers also found that although about the same number of men and women use Facebook, they do so in different ways.
   ’There is a【C8】______difference in orientation in how to use a tool like Facebook. We found that for women the content tends to be more【C9】______, and (they) are especially interested in using it for connection," said Watkins.
   "For men, it’s more functional," he added.
   Watkins pointed out that, for example, women are more likely to post pictures of social【C10】______with friends, while men are more likely to post pictures of hobbies, or post a political or pop-culture related link.
   A) negative B) sufficient C) positive D) weaken
   E) posted F) gatherings G) rational H) insufficient
   I) reached J) questioned K) interaction L) affectionate
   M) exchange N) noteworthy O) little [br] 【C1】
选项
答案 D
解析 空前是do not，故此处应填动词原形，根据Contrary to和后半句strengthen可判断前后两句是对比关系，故此处应填strengthen的反义词，故填weaken。因此，正确答案是D。
