问题    As I type these lines, my daughter, Harriet, who is 14, is on her iPhone skipping among no fewer than eight social media sites. My son, Penn, who is 15, will be asleep for hours yet. He was 【C1】______ all night with a friend playing two video games, in a jag fueled by his favorite foodlike【C2】______.
   I like that my kids are comfortable and alert in the wired world. But increasingly I am 【C3】______ for them. It’s more 【C4】______ every day that screens have gradually stolen them from themselves. My wife, Cree, and I have 【C5】______ them to drift quite distantly into the online world, and we fear our casualness has been a【C6】______.
   Each summer Cree and I resolve to 【C7】______ things back. This is 【C8】______ we draft rules for a new school year, strictures like: no laptops in bedrooms during the week; homework before screen time; no electronics after 10 p.m.. These rules invariably begin to 【C9】______ by Day 3. By Day 4, there is pleading, and the discreet slamming of doors. By Day 8, no one is sure what the【C10】______are anymore. We’re back where we started, and plump with fear.
   This year it【C11】______to me we needed help. So I sat down with a new book that【C12】______assistance, and understanding. It is The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age, whose primary【C13】______, Catherine Steiner-Adair, is a clinical psychologist who teaches at Harvard Medical School. Her book is【C14】______on thousands of interviews, and it can be eloquent about the need to ration our children’ s computer time. Here the author has pinned me. I like to think I’ m a good father, perhaps even casually【C15】______in my better moments,【C16】______there is zero doubt that, without my iPhone in my palm, I feel I lose something since I’m fairly【C17】______. I must change my life a bit.
   Cree and I are still hammering out our kids’ computer rules. We are trying to【C18】______in mind that we’ re not our kids’ best friends; we’ re their【C19】______. And we are【C20】______if there’ s an app for fortitude.
【C5】
选项 A、stopped
B、allowed
C、suggested
D、admitted
答案B
解析 作答此题的关键是第二个分句中的提示词casualness“漫不经心；随便”，在句中 表示“没有管他们在网络世界中漂流到多远”，所以根据句意，B．allowed“允许”为正确 答案。stopped“停止”表意相反。没有suggest sb．to do sth．的搭配，故排除suggested“建 议”。admitted“承认，准许……加入”的干扰性较强，但是admit表“允许”时，一般用被动 语态，故排除。
