【分析】

21.考察情态动词，本句横线后出现be动词，横线前应为助动词或情态动词，根据句意本空表示推测，因此本空填may或must

22.考察非谓语动词，句子的谓语是have taken, 此处只能把动词改为非谓语结构，ing形式作方式或伴随状语。

23.考察连词，本句句子成分完整，且填空出现在句首，通过句意得知“虽然秒回信息或者下载图片看起来花费时间很少，但是这些小事逐渐积累，甚至我们不曾察觉。”此处表示转折，应填although.

24.考察主谓一致，it may seems that引导表语从句，从句缺少谓语动词，动词前是两个名词性短语用or 连接，因此本句的谓语动词是第三人称单数形式，也就是takes.

25.考察非谓语动词，谓语动词be discovered, study后接后置定语，同时conduct实施是被动完成，因此需要改为conducted.

26.考察非谓语动词，谓语动词is, 此处不定式是非谓语形式作后置定语，表示将来的意味。

27.考察定语从句，此处需要关系副词表示地点，应填where

28.考察被动，be tempted to do 受诱惑做某事

29.考察连词，此处是两者选一，或者找回你的爱好也是远离电子产品的好处。

30.考察定语从句的介词，修饰的先行词是hobby, have time后缺少介词for
