5．Lying 句子主语I与lie为逻辑上的主动关系，且此处表示伴随，故用现在分词作状语。

语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。玩电脑游戏是很多人的爱好，有的人甚至为此废寝忘食。一些上班族在工作的时候也禁不住诱惑，偷偷地玩电脑游戏，这给他们的老板带来了困扰，于是老板们想方设法阻止员工玩游戏。
1．absorbed 考查固定短语。题干考查的是固定短语be absorbed in“沉浸于，沉溺于”。故空格处填absorbed。
2．designers 考查词性转换。结合句意可知，题干需用动词design的名词形式designer (设计者)，表示类指且其前无冠词，故要用其复数形式。故空格处填designers。
3．if/though 考查连词。句意：即使雇主们制定规则禁止员工在上班时间玩游戏，但很多员工仍沉溺于此。分析句子结构及空格前的“even”可知，题干考查连词even if/though，意为“即使”。故空格处填if/though。
4．to 考查介词。空格前的“addiction”是关键词，由此结合语境可知，题干考查的是短语“addiction to ...”，意为“对……成瘾”，为固定用法。故空格处填to。
5．where 考查定语从句。“________ people work”是定语从句，place是定语从句的先行词，在从句中作地点状语，故用关系副词where作为引导词。故空格处填where。
6．playing 考查非谓语动词。结合语境可知，题干考查的是固定用法catch sb. doing sth.，意为“撞见或抓住某人正在做某事”，其被动形式为sb. be caught doing sth.。故空格处填写playing，在从句中作主语补足语。
7．worse 考查副词的比较级。根据空格前的“their salary may be cut, and even”可知，此处表示比扣薪水更严重的是，他们可能会失去工作，所以应用badly的比较级形式。故空格处填worse。
8．are allowed 考查动词的时态和语态。结合句意可知，主语“the addicted players”与谓语动词allow之间存在被动关系；由全文时态可知，应用一般现在时。故空格处填are allowed。
9．that 考查宾语从句。空格处引导宾语从句，并作“make sure”的宾语，且引导词在从句中不作句子成分，也无实际意义，故用that引导该宾语从句。
10．their 考查形容词性物主代词。结合句意及空格后的“own ways”可知，空格处应使用提示词的形容词性物主代词形式their。their own ways意为“他们自己的方法”。

Ⅲ.书面表达
(2016·银川质量检测)如今，我们身边不乏“低头族”。他们在与朋友聚会、家人团聚或乘坐交通工具时，常常低头忙于浏览手机。请简要描述此现象，并发表你的看法。
注意：1.词数100左右；
2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
参考词汇：低头族phubbing
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考范文：
The phenomenon that people are always phubbing is becoming more and more popular. Some people only stare at the screens of their phones, ignoring the people around them no matter when they take a bus, hold a party or even
get together with their families. Worse still, they will not miss the chance of surfing the Internet or playing the games when they cross the road, which is likely to cause serious accidents and threaten their lives.
It is high time that we threw away the phones and raised our heads up. Do cherish the ones around us and appreciate the splendid scenery ahead of us.
