答案与解析

【文章大意】　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。

1. 答案　absorbed

解析　考查固定短语搭配。根据句意"你曾经也沉溺于电脑游戏以至于废寝忘食吗？"可知，题干考查的是短语be absorbed in，意为"沉浸于；沉溺于"。

2. 答案　designers

解析　考查名词。结合句意"电脑游戏设计者们为了吸引人们一直玩，经常设计有趣的游戏"可知，题干需用动词design的名词形式designer(设计者)，且要用其复数形式。故空格处填designers。

3. 答案　if/though

解析　考查连词。句意：即使雇主们规定禁止员工在上班时间玩游戏，但很多员工仍沉溺于此。even if/though意为"即使"。

4. 答案　to
