Answer

1.Spending

2.a

3.than

4.in

5.weakened/weaker

6.spent

7.found

8.worse

9.behavio(u)rs

10.which

【解析】

1.Spending 考查动名词。句意：花费太多时间上网可能会增加你得感冒或者流感的危险。本题考察动名词作主语，故用Spending。

2.a 考查冠词。catch a cold感冒。

3.than考查比较级。more …than.比…更…。句意：那些对网络更上瘾的人比那些花少时间上网的人更容易得病。故此空填than。

4.in 考察固定结构 lie in在于；句意：研究者认为原因在于网络上瘾者更孤独的事实。

5.weakened/weaker考察比较级 句意：研究者认为原因在于网络上瘾者更孤独的事实，因此免疫系统更弱。这里对应上文比较级more lonely，应该用weakened/weaker。

6.spent 考察过去分词作定语 这里spend和less time之间是被动关系，故用spent。

7.found 考察现在完成时 have found 已经发现。

8.worse本题考察比较级 对应上句 greater sleep problem，故这里用worse eating habits。句意：过去的研究已经发现花更多时间上网的人有更大的睡眠障碍，有更坏的饮食习惯…。

9.behavio(u)rs 名词复数做主语 句意：这些行为可能会破坏他们的免疫系统。

10. which 考察非限制性定语从句 这里用关系代词which指代先行词other factors，like depression，sleep problem，and loneliness。

考点：考查词汇和语法运用能力

【名师点睛】

语法填空的考查范围：

1语境(上下文)；

2语法：动词(时态、语态、主谓一致、非谓语形式)、名词、代词、冠词、介词、连词固定搭配、情态动词、复合句、形容词和副词的比较级最高级及构词法、倒装等。如本文的第44，45两小题Researchers believe the reason lies the fact that people with an Internet addiction are more lonely，and as a result have (weak) immune(免疫)systems.首先，44小题后面的句子很容易看出句意：研究者认为原因在于网络上瘾者更孤独的事实，故这里考察固定搭配lie in在于 ，故答案为 in；然后我们观察45小题，根据44题所在句中的more lonely，可判断这里应该用形容词的比较级或者用形容词，故答案为weakened/weaker。
