So far, psychologists have proposed several models of the processes【C3】______ jealousy and have identified some factors that would possibly【C4】______this emotion. Jealousy is often【C5】______as a series of particularly strong emotions and constructed as a【C6】______human experience.【C7】______jealousy is a normal, healthy emotion: it’s part of what makes us tick. Who hasn’t experienced sibling rivalry or felt【C8】______when their partner spends time with other people? Feeling jealous helps us【C9】______our loved ones and protect our important relationships. But for a small number of us, extreme jealousy【C10】______lead to obsessive behavior like stalking. It can also cause【C11】______, destroy relationships and even kill their lovers.

【C5】
选项 A、aggravated
B、enhanced
C、reinforced
D、highlighted
答案C
解析 动词辨析题。句意为：嫉妒常常增强为一种强烈的情绪，并成为一种人类普遍经历的情感。本句的主语是jealousy，它是向strong emotions的阶段发展，因此可以推断，此处表示嫉妒是一种逐渐增强的趋势，故答案为[C]reinforced“加固的，加强的”。aggravate“加重，恶化”；enhance“提高，加强”，它通常强调的是内在价值的提高。例如：Your life is enhanced by your dreams and aspirations(你的生活因为梦想和渴望而更加精彩。)highlight“突出，强调”，三项均不符合句意，所以排除。
