32、nB.couplesC.relatives D.experts解析：解析：从空格前的 older(年长的)及空格后的 among whom 定语从句可以看出，此处指某一些人，再结合下文提到父母使用 Facebook 的情况，选 C 项 relatives“亲属”。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.associated B.measuredC.boredD.interested解析：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，

34、 被许多更简单的社交网络取代，空格前的 turning away 表明年轻人正在避开 Facebook。D 项 adopting 表示“采用，接受”，指年轻人正在采用其他的社交网络，与前面的turning away 形成对比，符合语义逻辑。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.thenB.while C.orD.so解析：解析：前半句提到年轻人对于 Facebook 的态度是 turning away(避开)，后半句提到他们的父母还在使用 Facebook 的服务，两个分句之间是转折、对比的语义关系。B 项 while 有“然而”之意，表转折。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.oftenB
35、.neverC.once D.always解析：解析：从句子的时态看，前半句是过去时，后半句是 now 现在时。可以推测，空格处所填单词应与now 形成对比，并表示过去的情况。C 项 once 是“曾经”的意思，表示过去的情况，与 now 形成对比。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.inquireB.thinkC.post D.change解析：解析：人们会在社交媒体上发布文字或图片等来和亲友分享，因此选 C 项 post，意为“公布，发布”。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.out B.onC.forD.off解析：解析：空格处需填入一个与 worked 搭配的介词，充当 how t
