【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章講到隨著越來越多的電子產(chǎn)品面世，給人們的生活增添了情趣。但他們同時(shí)也成為了“第三者”，尤其是年輕人之間。這一存在的普遍現(xiàn)象影響了人們的關(guān)系。

【1】

考查冠詞。句意：在某些關(guān)系中，電子設(shè)備似乎是一個(gè)“第三者”，因?yàn)橛行┤嘶ㄔ陔娮釉O(shè)備上的時(shí)間比兩人在一起的時(shí)間還多。分析句子，表示一個(gè)“第三者”，表示泛指，third首字母的發(fā)音為輔音音素。故填a。

【2】

考查被動(dòng)語態(tài)。句意：當(dāng)他們被領(lǐng)到座位，她開始點(diǎn)餐時(shí)，他就埋頭于手機(jī)。分析句子可知，主語和lead之間表示被動(dòng)邏輯，且時(shí)間發(fā)生于過去時(shí)。所以用過去時(shí)的被動(dòng)。故填were led。

【3】

考查介詞。句意：他的手機(jī)似乎在我們之間走來走去。分析句子可知，此處缺“兩者之間”的介詞。故填between。

【4】

考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞+have done。句意：一場(chǎng)本應(yīng)屬于我們的約會(huì)變成了我男朋友和第“三者”約會(huì)，我感到被冷落了。分析句子可知，此處表示對(duì)過去的猜測(cè)，should have done譯為“本應(yīng)該做某事確沒有做某事”，此處符合句意。故填should。

【5】

考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。句意：2017年4月發(fā)表在《流行媒體文化心理學(xué)》雜志上的一項(xiàng)研究對(duì)近200名大學(xué)生進(jìn)行了調(diào)查。分析句子可知，簡(jiǎn)單句中除了publish外還有動(dòng)詞questioned，故提示詞需填非謂語動(dòng)詞。又因?yàn)?/span>publish和邏輯主語表示被動(dòng)，所以用過去分詞表示被動(dòng)。故填published.

【6】

考查固定短語。句意：結(jié)果顯示，那些更依賴手機(jī)的人對(duì)他們的關(guān)系不太確定。be dependent on 譯為“依賴于，依靠”是固定短語。故填on。

【7】

考查形容詞的比較級(jí)。句意：那些認(rèn)為伴侶過分依賴他們的設(shè)備的人對(duì)他們的關(guān)系不太滿意。分析句子可知，and前提到“過分依賴手機(jī)的人對(duì)關(guān)系不太確定”，該處用了形容詞的比較級(jí)less sure。and前后級(jí)別一致，根據(jù)句意，此處也應(yīng)用形容詞的比較級(jí)。故填less satisfied。

【8】

考查時(shí)間狀語從句。句意：北京的關(guān)系顧問林媛（Lin Yuan）指出，隨著越來越多的電子產(chǎn)品問世，給人們的生活增添了情趣，他們同時(shí)也成為了關(guān)系中的“第三者”，尤其是年輕人。分析句子可知，此處缺“隨著”之意來引導(dǎo)后面的時(shí)間狀語從句。故填as。

【9】

考查非限制性定語從句。句意：林說，她認(rèn)識(shí)一些人，他們建議把電子產(chǎn)品放在臥室外面，她認(rèn)為這對(duì)大多數(shù)夫婦來說都很有挑戰(zhàn)性，很難付諸實(shí)踐。分析句子可知，設(shè)問處考查非限制性定語從句，從句部分缺賓語且先行詞指代前面的主句部分內(nèi)容。故which。

【10】

考查條件狀語從句。句意：她建議，如果人們?cè)趹賽壑懈械奖缓鲆�，他們需要尊重地讓伴侶知道他們的感受。分析句子，根據(jù)后面的“他們需要尊重地讓伴侶知道他們的感受”可知，前句需表達(dá)“如果”感覺被忽略。所以此處需填if來引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句。故填if。
