Online social networks are massively influential, yet we understand very little about the impact they have on our brains. Recently, scientists have found a direct 【C1】______ between the number of Facebook friends a person has and the size of【C2】______ brain regions. The study also shows the more Facebook friends a person has, the more real-world friends he is【C3】______to have.
Facebook users who have a【C4】______of friends also tend to have smaller circles of friends in the real-world and,【C5】______ those who have thousands of friends on Facebook are likely to have larger circles offline, according to the study. The findings support the【C6】______ that most Facebook users use the site to【C7】______their existing, real-life social relationships, maintaining or reinforcing these friendships,【C8】______creating a network of entirely new,【C9】______friends.
The researchers scanned the brains of 125 university-aged Facebook users,【C10】______ these scans to the size of their friend networks online and the real-world. Those with larger Facebook networks had larger amounts of grey matter in several regions of the brain. One of these regions, the amygdala, is 【C11】______with processing memory and emotional responses. Pairing this【C12】______ another recent study, the researchers show increased volume grey matter in the amygdala【C13】______ a larger network of real-world friends.【C14】______these studies show a large network of online friends also point to an increased volume of grey matter—【C15】______ information processing occurs. In addition to brain scans, the participants were asked questions 【C16】______ to compare the size of their online networks to the size of their real-world networks.
The study【C17】______the correlation between the number of friends online【C18】______ offline. Still, it is not possible from the【C19】______to say whether having more Facebook friends makes the regions of the brain larger【C20】______ whether some people are "hard-wired" to have more friends.
【C8】
选项
A、rather than
B、despite of
C、except for
D、along with
答案
A
解析
短语辨析题。句意同上。根据上一题,“脸书”用户多是用网络来维持已有的关系,包括维护和强化友谊,而本题空格之后是建立新的朋友网络,两者显然是截然不同、相互抵触的。rather than“而不是”正确反映了这种关系。despite of“虽然”和along with“和……一起”则表示这两种行为都存在,与上述分析不符;except for“除……以外”表示排除某一事物的某个方面,显然也不符合语境。
