How are people influenced by the rise of social networks?A. They may lose their real-life friendsB. Their connections spread wider than before.C. They are more closely connected than before.D. They don't have as many contacts as before.

本题考查对社交媒体兴起对人际关系影响的理解。解题核心在于区分“连接范围”与“连接质量”。正确选项需体现社交媒体如何改变人们的社交网络规模，而非单纯讨论关系好坏。需注意选项中“更广泛”与“更紧密”的区别，避免混淆概念。

选项分析

A. They may lose their real-life friends

• 这一选项强调负面影响，但题目未提及社交媒体是否直接导致“失去”真实朋友，仅问“如何影响”，因此不够全面。

B. Their connections spread wider than before

• 正确选项。社交媒体通过线上平台打破地理限制，使人们能与更多人建立联系，连接范围显著扩大。

C. They are more closely connected than before

• “更紧密”通常指关系深度，但社交媒体可能降低互动质量，因此此选项表述不准确。

D. They don't have as many contacts as before

• 与实际相反，社交媒体用户通常会增加联系人数量，因此此选项错误。
