【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了现在很多人在任何场所都在玩手机。作者的智能手机坏了去维修，他就用旧手机，用来和家人、朋友保持联系，他很喜欢没有网络达打扰的时光，这样他就有更多的时间享受在伦敦的时间，有更多的时间看看周围的人以及正在发生的事。

1.根据how many people are using their phones.可知要知道使用手机的人数，故应是数数，此处是祈使句，故用动词原形 count。句意：数数多少人正在用手机。

2.whether...or...是……，还是……，故此处为or。句意：我现在可以告诉你可能有一半多，你是在公交车上，汽车上还是在大街上走。

3.修饰动词spend，故用副词always。句意：但是总是使我惊愕的是人们如何花费这么多时间在手机上，不与其他人交谈。

4.talk to sb与某人交谈，spend time doing sth花费时间做某事，故此处为动名词talking。句意：但是总是使我惊愕的是人们如何花费这么多时间在手机上，不与其他人交谈。

5.根据my smart phone broke 可知我的智能手机坏了，因此要被送去维修。此处表示被动，故用过去分词sent。句意：最近，我的智能手机坏了，不得不被送去维修一周左右。

6.keep in touch with sb与某人保持联系，此处表示人，故用名词friends。句意：我不得不用一个旧的，基本电话，只用于和家人和朋友保持联系

7.be free from摆脱，故此处为free。句意：我喜欢摆脱网络。

8.allow sb do sth“允许某人做某事”，此处对应的主语是I，因此宾语用代词me。句意：这就允许我花费更多的时间在伦敦玩得高兴。

9.around me我周围，故此处为介词around。句意：这允许我花费更多的时间在伦敦玩得高兴，能看周围的人，真正地看正在发生的事。
