阅读理解 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. Witnessing habits like that can help kids "realize that they can【C10】________some more control over their devices," she says. A) absorbed E) context I) recruited M) summary B) addicted F) exercise J) shape N) usage C) behavior G) inseparable K) solution O) vaguely D) constantly H) nationally L) specific
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。
问答题 【C2】
【正确答案】N
【答案解析】空格前为形容词Continuous,空格后为谓语结构,可推断空格处应填入名词。空格所在句的前一句提到,青少年花在互联网上的大部分时间并未能让自己感到快乐,换句话说,不间断地使用网络不等于获得无穷快乐。词库的名词中能符合语境的只有usage“使用”,故选N。
问答题 【C3】
【正确答案】H
【答案解析】空格前后均为形容词,故考虑填入形容词或副词修饰形容词representative。从空格后的representative“代表性的”可知。此处缺少表示范围的词。词库中只有nationally“全国性地”符合语境,故选H。
问答题 【C4】
【正确答案】G
【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。
问答题 【C6】
【正确答案】L
【答案解析】空格前为助动词is,后为介词to,故可考虑空格填入形容词或动词的分词形式。空格所在句的后一句提到青少年和成年人面对着一样的问题,即这个问题不止青少年有,由此可知空格处应有“特指,特有”的意思。词库中只有specific“特有的”符合语境,故选L。
问答题 【C7】
【正确答案】E
【答案解析】空格前为定冠词the,后为介词of,故考虑空格处填入名词或动名词。由空格前的living和空格后的environment可知,此处探讨青少年所生活的环境背景,词库中只有context“背景”一词符合语境,故选E。
问答题 【C8】
【正确答案】J
【答案解析】空格前为情态动词can,后为名词the way,故考虑填入动词原形。从下一句的model可推断,父母的行为会对子女产生示范作用,故空格处强调“影响”。词库中只有shape“影响……的发展”符合语境,故选J。
问答题 【C9】
【正确答案】C
【答案解析】空格所在句缺少model的宾语,故空格处应填入名词。空格所在句意为“父母应树立良好的……”。冒号后的句子解释说明冒号前的内容,该句指出,孩子会注意到(take note)父母吃晚饭与睡觉时使用或安置手机的方式或行为,词库中只有behavior“行为”符合语境,故选C。
问答题 【C10】
【正确答案】F
【答案解析】空格前为情态助动词can,后为名词control,故空格处应填入动词原形。词库中只有exercise可与control搭配,exercise control over…意为“对……实行控制”,符合语境,故选F。
