【解析】

本文是一篇說明文。Facebook目前正在測試一項功能，讓用戶參與其社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)，從而將用戶與陌生人聯(lián)系起來。

【1】考查非謂語動詞。句中賓語users與engage之間為被動關(guān)系，所以用過去分詞作賓語補(bǔ)足語。故填engaged。

【2】考查定語從句。此處為限定性定語從句，句中先行詞為feature，在定語從句中作主語，指物，所以用關(guān)系代詞that/which。故填that/which。

【3】考查短語。根據(jù)后面的or可知，這里考查短語whether…or…“是……還是……”。故填whether。

【4】考查冠詞。句意：目前許多用戶正在測試這一功能。這里考查短語a number of“許多”。故填a。

【5】考查時態(tài)及主謂一致。短語be known as“眾所周知……”，非限定性定語從句中的先行詞為tool，為單數(shù)名詞，從句中謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式，結(jié)合文中時態(tài)可知，應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時。故填is known。

【6】考查副詞。根據(jù)前面的形容詞available可知，用副詞形式。故填publicly。

【7】考查名詞的數(shù)。名詞name為可數(shù)名詞，根據(jù)of people可知，用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填names。

【8】考查固定短語。固定短語next to“臨近，靠近，在……旁邊”。故填to。

【9】考查非謂語動詞。句意：這項功能是Facebook努力使其網(wǎng)絡(luò)上的公開討論更有意義的一部分。effort表示“努力”時，其后可接動詞不定式作其定語。故填to make。

【10】考查形容詞。此處是make+sb./sth.+adj.“讓某人或某事怎么樣”，根據(jù)more可知，這里用形容詞原級。故填meaningful。
