问题     My Space and other Web sites have unleashed a potent new phenomenon of social networking in cyberspace,【1】at the same time, a growing body of evidence is suggesting that traditional social【2】play a surprisingly powerful and under-recognized role in influencing how people behave.
    The latest research comes from Dr. Nicholas A. Christakis, at the Harvard Medical School, and Dr. James H. Fowler, at the University of California at San Diego. The【3】reported last summer that obesity appeared to【4】from one person to another【5】social networks, almost like a virus or a fad. In a follow-up to that provocative research, the team has produced【6】findings about another major health【7】: smoking. In a study published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine, the team found that a person’s decision to【8】the habit is strongly affected by【9】other people in their social network quit—even people they do not know. And, surprisingly, entire networks of smokers appear to quit virtually【10】.
    For【11】of their studies, they【12】of detailed records kept between 1971 and 2003 about 5,124 people who participated in the landmark Framingham Heart Study.  Because many of the subjects had ties to the Boston suburb of Framingham, Mass. , many of the participants were【13】somehow—through spouses, neighbors, friends, co-workers—enabling the researchers to study a network that【14】12,067 people.

And【18】may be possible, the researchers say, to harness the power of these networks for many【19】, such as encouraging safe sex, getting more people to exercise or even【20】crime.
选项 A、swayed
B、deviated
C、bettered
D、deteriorated
答案A
解析 本题要求考生根据上下文选择符合原文含义的动词。句子的主干是these studies are...a growing recognition，本题考的是recognition后面that所引导的同位语从句中的动词，该从句内容为主题内容的重申，即社交圈影响行为，即文章的主要观点。该从句的意思是“诸多行为被社交圈所……"。因此，空格处所填的动词应该有“影响”或“操控”的含义，且感情色彩为中性。综合考虑四个选项，只有A选项swayed有“操控”、“控制”的含义，因此选A。
