Jacob Barkley, Aryn Karpinski and Andrew Lepp studied 500 Kent State University students, each of whom reported their daily cell phone use for the year as well as their level of anxiety and 30 with their life.
At the end of the year, the students also 31 the researchers to see their official school records for their cumulative (累积的) grade point average (GPA). Not only was greater cell phone use 32 correlated (相关的) with satisfaction and happiness, it was also associated with lower GPAs—presumably because the students were more anxious and unable to 33 on their studies.
While 34 researches found that cell phones can improve social interaction and reduce feelings of isolation, the latest findings suggest that constant 35 to information and people may be a double-edged-sword. The researchers speculate, for example, that students may feel anxious if they feel obligated (有义务的) to be in constant 36 with their friends. Some may have difficulty disconnecting, which only feeds into the stress linked to their phones. Occasional episodes of solitude can be 37 for well-being, but students who are tied to their phones aren't getting these respites (暂缓).

问答题

【正确答案】B

【答案解析】形容词辨义题。空格所在的分句为that引导的宾语从句，其中包含the more...the more...的句式结构，由此处空格后的they were可知，此处缺少一个形容词作表语，说明they的情况。备选词汇中只有anxious“焦虑的”符合此处语境，故选B。

问答题

【正确答案】M

【答案解析】动词辨义题。空格所在的分句缺少动词，说明前面提到的their academic performance的情况。前文中提到了大学生花越多的时间在手机上，他们就会越焦虑，由此可以推知，此处提到的学习成绩应该也会随之受到不好的影响。备选词汇中表示消极意义的只有suffer“受苦”符合此处语境，故选M。

问答题

【正确答案】L

【答案解析】名词辨义题。根据空格前的level of anxiety and和空格后的with their life可以判断，此处需要填入一个名词与anxiety并列使用，且该名词能与介词with搭配使用。备选词汇中只有satisfaction“满足”与anxiety“焦虑”一样，都是表达人的某种情绪，用在此处语义通顺，故选L。their level of anxiety and satisfaction with their life意为“他们生活中焦虑和满足的程度”。

问答题

【正确答案】H

【答案解析】动词辨义题。空格所在的句子主语为the students，宾语为the researchers句中缺少谓语动词。再由上下文采用的时态可以判断，此处需要填入一个及物动词的过去式。备选词汇中preferred意为“更喜欢”，由于该句陈述的只是一个事实，而不强调学生们是否更喜欢研究人员去查看学校的GPA记录，故排除I项。permitted意为“允许”，符合此处语境，故选H。

问答题

【正确答案】F

【答案解析】副词辨义题。空格位于not only所在的主句，其主干完整，不缺少任何成分。因空格后为动词correlated，由此可以判断，此处需要填入一个副词修饰correlated。后面一个分句中提到了使用手机与较低的GPA成绩相关，由此不难判断此处指的是手机使用量的增加与满意和幸福指数呈负相关。备选词汇中negatively“负地”符合此处语境，故选F。

问答题

【正确答案】C

【答案解析】动词辨义题。根据空格前的unable to和空格后的介词短语on their studies可以判断，此处需要填入一个动词原形，与前文构成be unable to do的结构，且该动词须能与介词on搭配使用。备选词汇中depend和concentrate后都可以接on。depend on意为“依靠；取决于”，不符合此处语境。concentrate意为“集中精神”，concentrate on表示“集中精力于……”，用在此处语义通顺，故选C。

问答题

【正确答案】J

【答案解析】形容词辨义题。空格所在的分句结构完整，由空格后的名词researches可以判断，此处需要填入一个形容词修饰researches。根据该句中前后两个分句的内容可知，句首的While在此处表示对比，而后面一个分句中提到了the latest findings，由此可知备选词汇中previous“先前的”最符合此处语境，故选J。

问答题

【正确答案】A

【答案解析】名词辨义题。空格位于that引导的宾语从句中，该从句中缺少主语，由此可以判断此处需要填入一个名词，且能够被形容词constant“持续不断的”所修饰。再由空格后的to information可以推知，空格处填入的名词还须能与介词to搭配使用。备选词汇中只有access符合语境，constant access to information意为“不断地获得信息”，故选A。K项中的relation“关联，关系”后虽然也能接to，但是用在此处语义不通，故排除。

问答题

【正确答案】N

【答案解析】名词辨义题。根据空格前的in constant和空格后的with their friends可以判断，此处需要填入一个名词，与介词in和with一起搭配使用。备选词汇中只有touch“联系”符合此处语境，故选N。be in touch with为固定用法，意为“与……有联系”。

问答题

【正确答案】O

【答案解析】形容词辨义题。根据空格前的be和空格后的for well-being可以判断，此处需要填入一个形容词。前文中提到了当学生们感到有义务与朋友保持经常联系时，他们可能会感到焦虑。此处描述的是偶尔独处与健康之间的关系，不难推知此处说的是偶尔独处对身体健康很重要。备选词汇中vital意为“十分必要的”符合此处语境，故选O。
