27、equal解析：解析：根据句末的“见过面之后往往令人大失所望”可推知，这位伴侣看似是喜欢的类型实际却不是，故选 C 项 type“类型”。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.spot B.locateC.trustD.fight解析：解析：第 1 段主要说明网络恋爱可能有被欺骗的危险。由本句的 however 可推断此处给出了减少上当受骗的方法。空格后为 a lying person(说谎的人)，因此应选 A 项，spot 指“发现难以察觉的东西”。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.awayB.across C.offD.apart解析：解析：上一段最后一句提到见面却大失所望，因此推断这
