问题     Ten years ago, Joe Allen began studying a diverse group of seventh graders near the University of Virginia, where he’s a professor. One of Allen’s main【C1】______was how these kids dealt with peer pressure, and how deeply they felt the pressure to【C2】______to what the crowd was doing.
    According to every pop theory of【C3】______, peer pressure is peril. Being able to【C4】______it should be considered a sign of character strength. But a funny thing happened as Allen continued to follow these kids every year for the next 10 years: the kids who felt more peer pressure when they were 12 or 13 were turning out better.
    【C5】______, they had much higher-quality relationships with friends, parents, and【C6】______partners. Their need to fit in, in the early teens, later【C7】______itself as a willingness to accommodate—a necessary【C8】______of all reciprocal relationships. The self-conscious kid who spent seventh grade convinced that everyone was watching her and learned to be attuned(与......合拍)to【C9】______changes in others’ moods.
    Years down the road, that【C10】______sensitivity lead to empathy(移情)and social adeptness.
    【C11】______, those kids who did not feel much peer pressure to smoke, drink, and shoplift in seventh grade didn’t turn out to be the independent-minded stars we’d【C12】______. Instead, what was notable about them was that【C13】______five years they had a much【C14】______GPA(grade point average). The kid who could say no to his peers turned out to be less engaged, all around, socially and academically. Basically, if he was so【C15】______that he didn’t care what his peers thought, he probably wasn’t【C16】______by what his parents or society expected【C17】______him, either.
    Allen has found that vulnerability(弱点)to peers’【C18】______can be just as much of an asset as it is a【C19】______. Many of the pressures felt by teens pull them in a good【C20】______— they feel pressure to do well in school, pressure to not act childish, and pressure to be athletic.
【C5】
选项 A、Notably
B、Specifically
C、Naturally
D、Obviously
答案A
解析 考查语义逻辑。这里的they指的是上文提到的ldds who felt more peer pressure。该句说的是这些孩子的显著特点．notably“显而易见的是”是选项中最恰当的一个，故作为答案。specifically“具体来说”；naturally“自然地”：obviously“明显地”。
