语言知识
It\’s the holiday season and that means kids by the millions are
asking Santa for the opportunity to blow away enemy soldiers and
aliens on the Xbox or PlayStation. Would parents be worried about【M1】______
buying such gifts? Violent video games are now an established
part of our culture; recent releases of games such as Call of Duty:
Modern Warfare and Skyrim have setting sales records for media【M2】______
releases(topping even blockbuster movies)and garnishing lavish
reviews for their artistic merits. Ten years ago, scholars and
politicians raised the possibility such games might contribute to【M3】______
school shootings or other youth violence.
Our modern fears over Violent video games appear to be in
line with prior moral panics over media as diversely as jazz music,【M4】______
comic books and Harry Potter. Granted, too much passive
activity, including video games, can contribute to obesity. Unlike【M5】______
anything else, gaming should be enjoyed in moderation, balanced
with outdoor activity, allowed enough time for family and【M6】______
schoolwork. A very small number of kids exhibit signs of
pathological gaming. And regarding concerns about aggression, it【M7】______
appears to be that, fairly early on, children learn to distinguish
between fantasy and reality, and their brains don\’t treat these
phenomena the same. Santa Claus is a primary example. Despite【M8】______
that not only their parents but all of society conspiring to lie to【M9】______
children about the reality of this fellow, children can reason out the
improbability of its existence by the mid-elementary years. With【M10】______
those kinds of reasoning powers, kids can handle a video game
that doesn\’t even claim to be real.
1.【M1】
Would—Should
解析：词汇错误。would表主观上的意愿，should表客观上的应该，此句问的是父母应不应该为买此类礼物担心，而不是愿不愿意担心，故应改为Should。
2.【M2】
∧setting—been
解析：语法错误。乍一看可能以为此句是用现在完成时，故把现在分词setting改为过去分词set，但是看完整句发现句中用and连接了两个并列的谓语动词set和garnish。而后者用的是现在分词形式，那前面的set也应该用现在分词形式，故应该在前面加上been，变成现在完成进行时。
3.【M3】
∧such一that
解析：语法错误。根据上下文语义，分句such games．．．other youth violence是用来解释possibility的内容，应该是possibility的同位语，故应该用连词that引导，that在从句中不充当任何成分，只起连接作用。
4.【M4】
diversely一diverse
解析：语法错误。as+a．／ad．+as表示同级的比较，意为“和……一样”，作后置定语修饰名词media，应该用形容词diverse。
5.【M5】
Unlike一Like
解析：语篇错误。根据上下文语义，玩电子游戏和做其他事情是一样的，都应该要适度，故此处应改为Like，意为“像，和……一样”。
6.【M6】
allowed一allowing
解析：语法错误。此处分词短语作伴随状语，修饰前面句子，应该用现在分词形式，故应改为allowing。注意不要误以为allowing与前面的谓语动词enjoyed和balanced并列，不然它们共同主语就是gaming．意为“游戏使得足够多的时间留给家庭和作业。”明显语意不对。
7.【M7】
And—But
解析：语篇错误。由上下文语义判断，此句与前句之间应该是转折的关系，不是并列关系，前句指出玩电子游戏的负面影响——一小部分孩子表现出病态游戏的征兆，本句则指出孩子们似乎很早就学会区分幻想和现实，因而玩电游不会影响孩子的攻击性，前后对照，故应该用表示转折意义的连词But。
8.【M8】
primary一prime
解析：词汇错误。primary和prime作形容词都有“主要的，最初的”的意思，但prime还有“最好的，典型的”之意，此句要表达的意思是“圣诞老人是最好的例子”，故用prime符合上下文语义。
9.【M9】
that一去掉that
解析：语篇错误。despite作介词，意为“尽管”，通常后面接名词、代词或动名词短语，此处后接的是动名词结构，而不是完整的句子，故应该删掉that。
10.【M10】
its—his
解析：语法错误。此处指代的是前句的this fellow，即Santa Claus(圣诞老人)，指人，故应改为his。
