sinceo故填if/since。

[25題詳解】

考查非謂語動詞。句意：走路時低頭看智能手機也會增加施加在脖子和上背部肌肉上的力量，這會降低平

衡能力，增加跌倒的風險。此處place與force構成被動關系，故用過去分詞作定語。故填placed。

【26題詳解】

在句中作目的狀語，應用不定式。故填t。get。

考查時態(tài)。句意：一些城市，如檀香山，已經通過了法律來控制分心的行人。表示過去發(fā)生的動作對現在

產生影響用現在完成時，主語為cities,助動詞用have。故填havepassed。

【28題詳解】

考查非謂語動詞。句意:研究人員利用2011年至2019年政府數據，發(fā)現了近3萬起由手機引起的步行損

傷。此處extend與date構成主動關系，故用現在分詞作定語。故填extending。

【29題詳解】

考查代詞。句意：如果你被手機分散了注意力，你肯定會把自己置于危險之中。結合語境，此處指“你自

己”應用反身代詞yourself。故填yourself。

ground,在從句作地點狀語，故填where。
