【分析】
解题思路:先通读短文理解主旨,再结合语法规则、固定搭配、词性变化等逐一分析每个空格。1. 考查固定搭配;2. 考查介词后接动名词的用法;3. 考查因果连词;4. 考查名词所有格;5. 考查不定式作表语;6. 考查名词复数;7. 考查现在完成时的过去分词;8. 考查介词的用法;9. 考查使役动词的用法;10. 考查代词宾格。
【解析】
1. 考查固定搭配“make a big change”,表示“做出重大改变”,故填a。
2. 考查固定搭配“prevent sb from doing sth”,意为“阻止某人做某事”,介词from后接动名词,故填using。
3. 考查连词,前文提到“这一变化正在发生”,后文说明原因“全球对社交媒体影响孩子健康的担忧”,前果后因,故填because。
4. 考查名词所有格,此处修饰名词health,指“孩子们的健康”,kid的复数是kids,所有格为kids',故填kids'。
5. 考查非谓语动词,“goal is to do sth”是固定结构,不定式作表语,故填to protect。
6. 考查名词复数,some后接可数名词复数,company的复数形式是companies,故填companies。
7. 考查时态,此处是现在完成时,结构为“has + 过去分词”,require的过去分词是required,故填required。
8. 考查介词,with表示“带有,具有”,此处指“拥有超过八百万用户的大型社交媒体平台”,故填with。
9. 考查使役动词make的用法,“make sb do sth”中省略to的不定式作宾补,故填stop。
10. 考查代词,keep是动词,后接人称代词宾格,they的宾格是them,故填them。
【答案】
1. a 2. using 3. because 4. kids' 5. to protect 6. companies 7. required 8. with 9. stop 10. them
