问题     As Valentine’s Day approaches, many single people begin to feel a little sorry for themselves. On a day【C1】________by  couples,  this  can  lead  to  feelings  of【C2】________and loneliness, say researchers.【C3】________, don’t worry—they say it could【C4】________be good for you.
    "On the【C5】________of everyday life, it is understandable how something as personally【C6】________as loneliness could be regarded as a plague on human existence," John Cacioppoat and his fellow researchers at the University of Chicago write in the journal Cognition & Emotion. "Research【C7】________the past decade suggests a very different view of loneliness than suggested by personal experience, one in which loneliness【C8】________a variety of adaptive functions in【C9】________habitats."
    "Although it may feel like loneliness has no redeeming【C10】________. it promotes behavior change to increase the likelihood of the survival of one’s genes. The pain of loneliness served to【C11】________us to renew the connections we needed to ensure survival and to promote social trust, cohesiveness, and collective action."
    However, there was also bad news—researchers found the ’lonely’ are viewed more negatively in terms of their psychosocial functioning and attractiveness.
    "In a social environment non-lonely people form a negative impression【C12】________lonely people, which then affects their behavior and【C13】________the lonely individual’s perceived isolated existence," the researchers wrote. "【C14】________. individuals rated opposite-gender partners who they expected to be lonely as less sociable, and【C15】________towards them in a less sociable【C16】________than they did toward partners they expected not to be-lonely."
    The team even say loneliness could be behind many sports fans decision to【C17】________their team. "The emergence of a collective connectedness factor underlying loneliness, therefore, suggests that we may have evolved the capacity for and motivation to form relationships not only with other individuals but also with groups (e.g., a Chicago Cubs or Boston Red Sox fan), with the【C18】________being the promotion of co-operation in【C19】________conditions (e.g., competition, warfare). The identification with and investments in the group, in turn, may increase the likelihood of the continuity of the group, its members, and their individual genetic【C20】________."
【C11】
选项 A、prevent
B、prompt
C、provoke
D、provide
答案B
解析 从句子中and后面的to promote可以推断，空格处所填动词应与promote(促进)意思相近。B项prompt意为“促进”，与promote是近义词。A项prevent意为“阻止”，与promote意思相反。C项provoke“激起，激怒”代入句中表示承受这种孤独的痛苦会激怒我们修复能确保生存的社交联系，不合逻辑。D项provide表示“提供”，无法与promote构成近呼应。
