【1】D

根据上句：狂欢观看可以被描述为在短的时间内观看许多视频、电视节目的行为。再根据下文：然而，最近对这一现象的研究表明，它有一些非常糟糕的效果。由此可知，目前，疯狂观看已经变得越来越流行。故选D。此处however是关键词。

【2】G

根据下句：一些最近的研究也表明每天狂看的人将他们的死亡机会增加了一倍。可知上句也应该在讲狂看会带来的危险。所以，G. So binge-watching for a long time can increase the risk of health problems like heart disease, etc.（得心脏病的几率增加。）故选G。下句中的also是关键词，对找到选项起着重要作用。

【3】A

做七选五时，“当心文中小also”，also是“也”的意思，这就说明前文一定存在它的一个分支了，这样的例子比比皆是：前文交代“It helps you practice what you have learnt during the day and establish study habits that will be important in college ”虽然看上去很长的一句话，从句就有两个，但是重点就三个单词“It helps you”，此时在空中填上“It can also help you prepare for your classes and get a sense of progress.”，（关键词It can also help you）这样一对应就很工整了。当然“also”只是一个代表罢了，可以表示递进的词还有很多：what’ more, besides, in addition等等。
