问题     A study of how older teenagers use social media has found that Facebook is "not just on the slide, it is basically dead and buried" and is being replaced by simpler social networks such as Twitter and Snapchat. Young people now see the site as "uncool" and keep their【C1】________ live purely to stay in touch with older【C2】________among whom it remains popular.
    Daniel Miller, who worked on the research, wrote: "Mostly they feel embarrassed even to be【C3】________with it" This year marked the start of what looks likely to be a【C4】________decline of what had been the most popular social networking sites. Young people are turning away in crowds and【C5】________other social networks instead,【C6】________ the worst people of all, their parents, continue to use the service.
    "Where【C7】________parents worried about their children joining Facebook, the children now say it is their family that insists they stay there to【C8】________about their lives. Parents have worked【C9】________how to use the site and see it【C10】________a way for the family to remain connected.【C11】________, the young are moving on to cooler things. What appears to be the most important factor in a young person’s【C12】________to leave Facebook was【C13】________ that your mum sends you a friend request."
    A study observed 16-to 18-year-olds in eight countries for 15 months and found that Facebook use was in decline. Instead, young people are turning to simpler services like Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and WhatsApp which Professor Miller【C14】________were "no match" for Facebook【C15】________functionality.
    "Most of the school children in our survey【C16】________ that in many ways, Facebook is technically better than Twitter or Instagram. It is more【C17】________, better for photo albums, organising parties and more【C18】________for observing people’s relationships," said Professor Miller, adding that "efficient isn’t always best" in【C19】________young users.
    WhatsApp has overtaken Facebook as the number one way to send messages, say the researchers, while Snapchat has gained in popularity in recent months by allowing users to send images which "self-destruct" after a short period on the recipients phone in order to maintain【C20】________.
【C3】
选项 A、associated
B、measured
C、bored
D、interested
答案A
解析 本句继续讨论年轻人对Facebook的感受：feel embarrassed(感到尴尬)。能让年轻人感到尴尬的事情就是把他们和他们不喜欢的东西放在一起，A项associated与with搭配，表示“与……联系在一起”。B项measured和C项bored与be…with搭配后分别表示“用Facebook衡量的”和“对Facebook感到厌烦的”，这些情况与是否尴尬没有关系。D项interested通常与in搭配，表示“对……感兴趣的”。
