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.

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.

【C2】

选项 A、objects
B、substances
C、things
D、materials

答案B

解析 本句句意为“利用打游戏的间隔吃点他最喜欢的______”,foodlike意为“食品类的”,通常与substances构成foodlike substances,指“食品类物质”,此处可活译为“垃圾食品”,故B.substances“物质”为正确答案。objects“物体”,things“事情”,materials“材料”均不符合题意,故排除。
