39、词组固定搭配题。根据词性，此处应当填入动词原型，可以与into搭配，选项中的可选范围为“get, fall”。fall into sth.“可分为”，如：The lecture series falls naturally into three parts.该系列讲座可自然分作三部分；get(oneself/sb.)into sth.“(使自己/某人)进入或达到(某种状态或情形)”，如：get into a fury, rage, temper, etc. “愤怒，勃然大怒，发脾气”。根据文意，此处选择fall，表示游戏可以分为两大类。解析：Bgenres解析 同义词复现。此题难点在于空格中的

40、词的词性分析，根据句子语法拆解发现“most popular with the children I interviewed”为后置定语，空格中应当填入名词做主语。根据上下文可见此处指游戏的两大类型，为上文type的同义词，故选择genre“类型，风格”。解析：Econcern解析 近义词复现。根据词性，此处应当填入名词。根据空格后下文“over their violent content”以及下一段落中“There are worries that children are becoming more violent and aggressive”可见游戏中的暴力内容令人担忧，因此此处填入w

41、orry的近义词concern。解析：Hanimated解析 常识题。根据词性，此处应当填入形容词。由于是游戏中的角色，所以是动画角色，选用animated“看起来活动的”，如animated drawings“动画”。解析：Kunscathed解析 语法题/常识题。此题词性判断有两种可能，第一种可能性是填入副词，修饰walk away，但选项中over, out与away重复，不能同时使用。第二种可能性是填入形容词补语，表示走开时的状态。此处可修饰人(角色)状态的形容词只有unscathed“未受伤的”。同时根据游戏常识，游戏角色受伤后又会复活，若无其事地走开。解析：Cpart解析 词组固定

42、搭配题。根据词性，此处应当填入名词，并与in构成搭配。在可选范围中，(have sth.)in common(with sb./sth.)表不“有共同的利益、特点等”；in part“在某种程度上；部分地”；in frustration“挫败地，沮丧地”；in anxiety“焦虑地”。此处根据文意是指“原因在于”，不涉及情绪。故选part，表示“部分原因在于”。解析：Gover解析 词组固定搭配题。根据词性，此处应当填入副词或介词，可选范围“over, out”。spill(sth.) (from, out of etc sth.)；spill out“流出；溢出；洒出”；spill ove

43、r“(满得)从某物中溢出”。此处原文是指电脑游戏充斥着儿童的日常生活，强调“多，满”，故选over。解析：Mprolonged解析 词义辨析题。根据词性，此处应当填入形容词。可修饰exposure的形容词在可选范围中符合语义的仅有“prolonged, extended, intense”。extend“使(某物)(往往在空间上)更长，伸长，延长，延展”；prolong“延长(某事物)(尤指时间)”；intense“强烈的；剧烈的；极度的”。文中表示长时间玩游戏，经常玩游戏，故最佳答案为prolonged。解析：Ifrustration解析 关键词重现题。根据词性，此处应当填入名词。根据下文“

44、there is annoyance and frustration at being beaten by the computer”，对应空格处的“ -|_|- and anger”，故可推断答案为frustration。解析：Lintense解析 语义题。根据词性，此处应当填入形容词修饰concentration。根据语义判断此处应当指注意力高度集中，故答案为intense“强烈的；剧烈的；极度的”。Whales, several species of which face extinction, have become subjects of considerable sympathy.
