题目内容
【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Sometimes your friends start to talk about a new video game or a new app they have downloaded. It sounds pretty cool, and your friends really seem to like it. You become so 【1】 (interest) in it that you want to buy it too. Has this ever happened to you?
In the US and in places around the world, there is a similar feeling of wanting the 【2】 (new), greatest tech gadgets (小玩意). There is a big 【3】 (attract) to getting the latest technology even though people may not need it. But why is this?
As to(关于) these technologies, there’s 【4】 initial (最初的) excitement that 【5】 (get) people’s attention, according to Richard Larson, a director at MIT, US. If there’s a big group of people 【6】 want these things, you want to be a part of the excitement too.
One of the major US 【7】 (company) that really take advantage of this is Apple. It comes out with a new iPhone with very small changes every year. But people still flock (涌入) to the stores even if they have just bought the previous phone.
However, 【8】 (buy)these things may not always be the best choice. You could be buying things that you don’t really need and 【9】 (spend) too much money just for the right to show it off to your friends.
Not only that, but our need to always be on your phones or playing video games takes 【10】 a lot of time in our lives. So is this excitement over technology a good or a bad thing?

【1】interested
【2】newest
【3】attraction
【4】an
【5】gets
【6】who/that
【7】companies
【8】buying
【9】spending
【10】up
【解析】
试题分析:本文是对人们追求最新的东西的心理进行分析。
【1】interested 句意:你变的对它感兴趣。故填interested。
【2】newest 此处用形容词最高级,表示“想要最新的”,故填newest。
【3】attraction 根据前面的a big可知,此处用名词形式,故填attraction。
【4】an 表示“有一个最初的兴奋”。Initial以元音音素开头,故填an。
【5】gets excitement是先行词,在从句中作主语,故定语从句谓语动词用单数,根据文章用一般现在时态,故填gets。
【6】who/that 此处people作先行词,指人,在定语从句中作主语,故填who/that。
【7】companies 根据前面的One of可知,后面的名词用复数形式,故填companies。
【8】buying 此处是动名词短语作主语,故填buying。
【9】spending 此处与and前面的buying并列,故填spending。
【10】up 固定词组:take up,意为“占用,开始从事”,故填up。
