问题     Regular interaction or familiarity seems to increase liking; often, the people we interact with the most are simply those who are closest to us. A classic study by Festinger found that residents of an apartment complex tended to interact with, and like those who happened to live on the same floor more than those who lived on other floors or in other buildings. The researcher did not analyze this phenomenon in terms of the development of in-group versus out-group perceptions and biases, but such an analysis might prove interesting. Likewise, when classroom seating is alphabetical (依字母顺序的) , students are more likely to be friends with people who share the same initial.
    There are two major explanations for the relation between proximity (接近) and liking. The first is simple availability. If most people are nice and easy enough to approach, it follows that proximity will determine who you get to know and, therefore, like. The second explanation is based on the mere exposure effect, that is, simple familiarity increases liking for a person or object that is not necessarily likeable. The mere exposure effect has been demonstrated in the laboratory with some meaningless syllables, which people find more pleasing after they have repeated them several times. It seems reasonable to conclude that repeated exposure to people in proximity to us leads us to like them more.
According to the passage, the researcher studies the phenomenon on the basis of______ (  )
选项 A、perceptions of membership
B、the development of friendship
C、in-group versus out-group biases
D、the degree of familiarity among people
答案D
解析 本题是对整篇文章的考查。文章的内容没有涉及AB项，因此AB是错误的；从第一段的第3句“The research did not…”，可以看出C项是错误的。研究者对“相似”现象的研究是以人们之间相似的程度为基础的。
