The group compared people’s use of " function words" which【C3】______ carry any meaning on their own,【C4】______help build context in conversations. Content words, such as nouns, adjectives and verbs, carry an【C5】______ meaning. Function words, on the other hand, vary in their use and help provide reference points in conversations.【C6】______, words like " the," "that" and "of"【C7】______act as function words.
The researchers conducted two experiments to measure language similarities. One setup【C8】______ 40 speed dating sessions among college students, 【C9】______ the couples’ conversations were recorded and transcribed for【C10】______. The study’s authors found that people who used function words similarly were more【C11】______to express romantic interest in seeing one another in the future. A second experiment measured the use of function words in the online chats of 86 couples over the【C12】______ of 10 days. The researchers found that couples that used function words similarly tended to still be together【C13】______.

选项
A、interval
B、span
C、length
D、range
答案
B
解析
名词辨析题。句意为:另一个实验测试了86对情侣在十天时间内网上聊天所使用的功能词。根据空格前后的相关搭配,即介词of之后为一个时间段,因此空格中所填的名词应是表示跨度或时间长度的,只有span符合。interval“间隔”、length“长度”、range“范围,幅度”,不符合句意,均排除。
