【1】上文“Millions of Chinese people have been playing a mobile game called Travel Frog recently”介紹這款游戲的名稱，根據(jù)空格后“You prepare food and tools for its trips, and the frog sends you postcards while it ’s away”推斷空格是介紹游戲的玩法；故答案為C。

【2】根據(jù)上文“The game ’s popularity may have something to do with how lonely people feel these days”游戲受歡迎與現(xiàn)在人們的孤獨(dú)感有關(guān)，根據(jù)文句表述的邏輯關(guān)系，推斷下文指人們感覺自己的孤獨(dú)感與那只青蛙相似，故答案為E。

【3】空格在段首，判斷是段落的主旨句；根據(jù)下文的陳述，40%的美國(guó)人感到孤獨(dú)，五分之一的英國(guó)人感到孤獨(dú)，由此推斷空格指孤獨(dú)是當(dāng)今普遍的問題；故答案為A。

【4】根據(jù)上文“This might be why the UK government announced in January that it had created the job of “minister for loneliness”英國(guó)政府創(chuàng)建了孤獨(dú)大臣的工作，推斷空格闡述孤獨(dú)大臣的工作職責(zé)——想辦法幫助英國(guó)人減少孤獨(dú)感；故答案為D。
