问题     MySpace and other Web sites have unleashed a potent new phenomenon of social networking in cyberspace ,【B1】______at the same time, a growing body of evidence is suggesting that traditional social【B2】______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【B3】______reported last summer that obesity appeared to【B4】______from one person to another【B5】______social networks, almost like a virus or a fad. In a follow-up to that provocative research, the team has produced【B6】______findings about another major health【B7】______; smoking. In a study published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine, the team found that a person’s decision to【B8】______the habit is strongly affected by【B9】______other people in their social network quit — even people they do not know. And, surprisingly, entire networks of smokers appear to quit virtually【B10】______
    For【B11】______of their studies, they【B12】______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, many of the participants were【B13】______somehow—through spouses, neighbors, friends, co-workers—enabling the researchers to study a network that【B14】______12,067 people.
    Taken together, these studies are【B15】______a growing recognition that many behaviors are【B16】______by social networks in【B17】______that have not been fully understood. And【B18】______may be possible, the researchers say, to harness the power of these networks for many【B19】______, such as encouraging safe sex, getting more people to exercise or even【B20】______crime.
【B8】
选项 A、cultivate
B、kick
C、leave
D、tick
答案B
解析 本题要求考生判断空白处应填入的适当的动词。本句提及人们……此习惯的决定会被交际圈中其他人戒烟所影响，“此习惯”指上文中的smoking吸烟。文章主题是行为或现象在交际圈中传播，那么戒烟也会在交际圈中传播。所以，本句在说“戒除这个习惯会受到其他人戒烟的影响”，选项[B]kick符合题意，kick除了“踢”的含义之外，还有object(拒绝，戒除)的含义，kick the habit为固定搭配，表示戒除某不良嗜好。
