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】________."
【C13】
选项 A、weakens
B、identifies
C、realizes
D、reinforces
答案D
解析 上段提到the ’lonely’ are viewed more negatively，空格前说有伴的人形成负面印象并影响他们自身的行为，这会对孤独人士产生更坏的影响，使寂寞感更加强烈。D项reinforces “加强”符合语义逻辑。有伴的人持有的这种负面印象不会减弱(A项weakens)孤独人士的寂寞感。B项identifies和C项realizes分别表示“确定”和“意识到”，语义不通顺。
