【题目】阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Texting while walking is something that most of us are guilty of. We can't help replying【1】the message we have just received.

A team of【3】(research) from two UK universities recently found that people who use their phones while on the move walk【4】(different) from usual. “Recently,【5】person in front of me was walking very slowly and weaving. I thought this person was drunk. It turned out that the person【6】(text).” said Timmis, co-author of the study.

Texting also prevents us from paying attention to what's going on around us. It is especially dangerous in situations where we, need to keep【7】(we) eyes open, like walking home after dark. Our reaction time is also likely to be much slower. If we are about to run into someone or something else, we may not have time to act【8】it's too late.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了行走时发短信会造成危险，并对这一现象进行了试验来证明它的危险性。

【1】考查介词。句意：我们情不自禁回复我们刚刚收到的消息。reply to回复，固定搭配。故填to。

【2】考查形容词。句意：然而，尽管跟上最新的八卦是一件很有趣的事情，但我们实际上可能会把自己置于危险之中。latest最近的; 最新的，形容词作定语。故填latest。

【3】考查名词。句意：一组来自两所英国大学的研究人员最近发现，人们走路时使用手机的方式与平时不同。研究人员researcher，因前面由A team of修饰，故用复数形式。故填researchers。

【4】考查副词。句意：一组来自两所英国大学的研究人员最近发现，人们走路时使用手机的方式与平时不同。副词differently修饰动词walk。故填differently。

【5】考查冠词。句意：最近，我前面的一个人走得很慢。此处泛指一个，故用不定冠词修饰可数名词person，因person是辅音音素开头单词，故填a。

【6】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：原来那个人正在发短信。根据turned并结合句意可知，此处过去进行时，其构成是was/were + doing，the person作主语，故用was。故填was texting。

【7】考查代词。句意：在我们需要睁大眼睛的情况下尤其危险，像天黑后步行回家。形容词性物主代词our修饰名词eyes。故填our。

【8】考查连词。句意：如果我们即将遇到某人或某事，我们可能来不及采取行动。before在……之前，结合句意，故填before。

【9】考查非谓语动词。句意：走路时发短信肯定会增加伤害他人的风险，或者被伤害。此处用动名词形式与injuring并列，因of后跟动名词形式，因此处指“被伤害”，故用being done形式。故填being hurt。

【10】考查不定式。句意：尽管不发短信很难生活，但我们可以决定如何和何时发短信，选择正确的时间和地点。it's+形容词+to do sth. 做某事是……，是固定句型。故填to live。
