Phones influence all aspects of teenage life. Ninety-five percent of Americans ages 13 to 17 have a smartphone or have access to one, and nearly half report using the internet "almost【C1】________." But as recent survey data and interviews have suggested, many teens find much of that time to be unsatisfyingly spent. Continuous【C2】________shouldn’t be mistaken for endless enjoyment. A new【C3】________representative survey about "screen time and device distractions" from the Pew Research Center indicates that it’s not just parents who think teenagers are worryingly【C4】________from their phones—many teens themselves do too. Fifty-four percent of the 13-to- 17-year-olds surveyed said they spend too much time【C5】________in their phones. Vicky Rideout, who runs a research firm that studies children’s interactions with media and technology, was not surprised by this finding. She says it’s hardly【C6】________to teenagers. "They are dealing with the same challenges that adults are, as far as they are living in the【C7】________of a tech environment designed to suck as much of their time onto their devices as possible," Rideout says. The way parents interact with technology can【C8】________the way they interact with their kids. Rideout thus thinks it’s up to parents to model good 【C9】________: Kids tend to take note if their parents put their phone away at dinner or charge it in another room while they sleep.

问答题
【C1】
【正确答案】D
【答案解析】空格所在处为动名词结构using the internet…,作为report的宾语,该动名词结构完整,放空格处可能填入副词来修饰非谓语动词using。结合第2段首句的much of that time可推断,空格处说的是经常使用互联网的情况,词库中的constantly“经常地,总是”符合要求,故选D。
【答案解析】空格前是系动词are和副词worryingly,空格后为介词from,空格处可考虑填入形容词或动词的分词形式。从下文they spend too much time…in their phones可推知,青少年离不开手机,词库中只有inseparable“不可分离的”符合语境,be inseparable from意为“与……密不可分”,故选G。
问答题
【C5】
【正确答案】A
【答案解析】空格前为spend的宾语time,后为介词in,可考虑空格处填入形容词或分词作为宾语补足语。根据空格前的spend too much time和空格后的in their phones可推知,此处表示“青少年花太多时间玩手机”,暗含“沉迷”之意。词库中absorbed“专心致志的”和addicted“上瘾的”均有此意,但因为addicted后通常 跟介词to,absorbed后通常跟介词in,排除B,故选A。
