(1)考查情态动词。
句意:巴斯大学的研究发现,当人们在超市购物时被手机分心时,他们的购物账单平均会(可能)上涨41%。
空后是动词原形,此处需要填情态动词,根据句意可知此处表示“会、可能”,故填can/may/might 。
( 2 )考查定语从句。
句意:削弱注意力的设备也鼓励购物者在更多的货架之间走来走去,在那里他们会遇到更多的产品。
此处为非限定性定语从句,关系词指代先行词shelves 并在从句中作地点状语,故填where 。
(3)考查宾语从句。
句意:在一项研究中,瑞典四家超市的294 名年龄在18 岁至73 岁之间的人在整个购物过程中都戴着眼睛跟踪眼镜,以测量他们去了哪里,看了什么。
此处为宾语从句,从句中的looked at 缺少宾语,故填what 。
(4)考查非谓语动词。
句意:然后他们的收据被用来评估他们的支出。
sth.be used to do表示“某物被用来做⋯⋯”,故填to assess。
( 5)考查非谓语动词。
句意:第二项针对117 名购物者的研究发现,那些拥有手机的人在商店里呆的时间更长,对货架的关注度更高。
“关注货架”这一动作既可理解为与“呆在商店里”同时发生,也可理解为先于“呆在商店里”,所以既可用现在分词的一般式也可用现在分词的完成式作状语,故填having given/giving 。
(6)考查连词。
句意:企业主往往担心手机会分散购物者花钱的注意力,但我们惊奇地发现完全相反的效果。
根据句意可知前后是转折关系,故填but 。
( 7)考查介词。
句意:你在手机上花的时间越多,你花的钱就越多。
part with 固定短语“舍得、交出”,故填with 。
(8)考查祈使句。
句意:所以如果你想谨慎花钱的话,把手机放在口袋里。
此处为祈使句,用动词原形,故填leave 。
(9)考查代词。
句意:不是手机本身导致了更多的购买行为,而是它对我们的注意力的影响。
根据“the phone 可”知此处指“它本身”,故填itself 。
(10)考查非谓语动词。
句意:研究人员认为,人们之所以花钱更多,是因为使用手机会分散人们对计划清单的注意力。
lists 与plan 之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,表示被动,用过去分词作定语,故填planned 。
【点评】本题考点涉及情态动词,定语从句,宾语从句,非谓语动词,连词,介词,祈使句以及代词等多个知识点的考查,是一篇生活类阅读,要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,并结合相关语法知识,进行分析推理,从而写出正确的单词形式。
