1-5 ABDCC 6-10 ADBBA 11-15 DCADD 16-20 BACCA
解析：1.根據上一句中的workplace及下文多處提到的workers可知，全文是關於全職工作者的網絡使用問題，故此空選workers。
ss常和have搭配，表示“利用……的機會或權利”，故選 B項。
3.此處用it代替上文的Internet access。
4.此處爲*入語，根據語境可知表示“根據……”，故選C項。 because of意爲“因爲”；owing to意爲“由於”；as a result意爲“因此”。
5.設空前是現在的全職工作者利用網絡做相關的研究和發送電子郵件，設空後是對比十年前的情況有所不同，故前後爲轉折關係，應選 but。
6.由設空後的while now it has mushroomed可知，十年前的工作場所中還沒有網絡可用，故nowhere正確。
7.根據本段第一句For many Americans. Internet access is not just a workplace distraction but a key part of their jobs.可知，現如今網絡已經發展成了一種重要的力量。force意爲“有影響力的事物”，符合語境。energy意爲“能量；精力”；power意爲“動力；權力”；strength意爲 “力量;力氣;體力”。故選D項。
8.此處是陳述*測驗的結果，故選B項。
9.由設空前的with access to Web可知,此處是指這些人每天至少上網一次，故B項正確。
10.根據文章第一句中的but a key part of their jobs可知，網絡是工作者們工作中重要的一部分。由此可推斷出網絡提高了工作者們的工作能力，故A項符合語境。
11.根據設空後的語境可知，此處指很多工作者一上網就迷戀於一 些東西，故stick to (堅持；繼續使用）正確。give up意爲“放棄”； keep up意爲“保持;不減弱”；lead to意爲“導致”。
12.賓語從句的主語爲 they，指代 More than half of those surveyed。 當主語是人時，“花費”時間應用spend。
13.根據空後的 playing games, checking sports scores 可知，本句是指上網是爲了*，故fun(樂趣;*）正確。
14.設空處與 playing games, checking sports scores 並列，再根據空後的products(產品) 可知，設空處應選D項。
15.根據第一段第二句 About 37% of all full-time _______ in America…可知，這些工作者是全職的，故full-time(全職的)正確。
16.根據第19空後的population可知，此處是對使用網絡的人進行數據分析，故population(人口) 正確。
17.根據第18空後的on the Web可知，此處是指使用網絡的工作者，故 access 正確。
18.根據空後的than可知，此處應用比較級，故more(更多的)正確。
19.與使用網絡的人作對比的應該是一般人，故general(普通的;一般的)正確。old意爲“老的”;specific意爲“具體的”;usual意爲“通常的”。
20. four in ten表示“十分乏四”。此處in也可換成out of。
