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.  
【C3】
选项 A、disappointed
B、satisfied
C、terrified
D、worried
答案C
解析 空格所在句子开头是But，表示转折关系。根据第二段第一、二句的句意“我喜欢我的两个孩子这样，在这个连线世界中自由自在，也很机敏。但是我越来越为他们感到______”可知，此处表示“担心，害怕”，故排除disappointed“失望的”和satisfied“满意的”两项。worried“担心的”干扰性较大，但其通常的搭配为be worried about，与文中的for不符，故排除。故C．terrified“感到恐惧的；受惊吓的”为正确答案。
