【解析】如今手机上瘾现象非常严重，对人们的生活有着很大的危害。文章告诉我们是我们的自控力和自我约束力差而导致此种现象，并非手机本身的问题。

【1】be absorbed in“专心致志，全神贯注”，是固定短语。so absorbed位于句首，句子用部分倒装，根据句意可知用一般过去时态，故填was。

【2】句意：他没有意识到火车的靠近，直到它擦身而过。根据句意可知，是until引导的时间状语从句。

【3】考查现在分词。根据语境可知，此处表示“火车与他擦身而过，把他摔在了地上”，train和throw之间是主谓关系，故用现在分词作伴随状语。

【4】a warning后面是that引导的同位语从句，说明warning的具体内容。故填that。

【5】句意：人们应该意识到他们的四周，尤其是当过马路的时候。故此处用名词形式，故填surroundings。

【6】句意：一个18分钟的拖延。数字18的英文eighteen是以元音音素开头，此处表示泛指，故填an。

【7】考查非限制性定语从句。因为这件事耽搁了18分钟，导致路线上其他火车的运行中断了。此处用which引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面的“An 18-minute delay”。

【8】根据句中的during the past few years可知，用现在完成时态，Smartphone addiction是句子的主语，单数第三人称，故填has spread。

【9】考查形容词比较级。what's even worse意为“甚至更糟糕的是”，even修饰比较级，故用worse。

【10】根据下半句the tragedy wouldn't have occurred.可知，此句是if引导的虚拟语气，从句与过去事实相反，根据句意可知填had not weakened或hadn’t been weakened。
