分析 本文主要讲述一些人沉溺于视频游戏．但视频游戏瘾是有害的，就像吸毒上瘾一样，应当仔细对待．
解答 56．absorbed 考查固定搭配．be absorbed in意为"全神贯注于，专心致志于"，是固定搭配．
57．designers 考查名词复数．分析句子结构，句中缺少主语，且create是复数形式，主语也应是复数形式，用designers．
58．if/though 考查固定搭配．even if/though意为"即使，纵然"，是固定搭配．
59．to 考查介词．addiction to意为"对…上瘾"，是固定搭配．
60．where 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词place在从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where．
61．playing 考查现在分词．catch sb．doing sth．意为"碰上、撞见、发现某人做某事"，现在分词作宾语补足语，此处是被动式：sb．be caught doing sth．．
62．worse 考查副词比较级．根据下文they may lose their jobs（他们 可能失去工作），和扣薪相比，应是：更坏的是．
63．are allowed 考查动词时态和语态．players与allow之间是动宾关系，用被动语态，且表示是一般事实，用一般现在时的被动语态．
64．that 考查连词．make sure后接从句时用连接词that．
65．their 考查代词． ways是名词，其前用形容词性物主代词作定语．
