Socially withdrawn kids typically lock themselves (32)______ their bedrooms and refuse to have any contact (33)______ the outside world.

正确答案:
31. refers
此处是对Hikikomori的意思进行介绍,指“Hikikomori指一种社会的反常状态,而如今日本越来越多的年轻人似乎都陷入这一状态”。从该空后的to可知该处应该填入refer。refer to为固定搭配,意为“提到,涉及,指的是”。
32. in
该句描述的是“Socially withdrawn kids”(不愿与人交往的孤僻的孩子),可知此处指的是“把自己所在卧室里”,故该空填入介词in。
33. with
have contact with为固定用法,意为“和…有联系,接触到”,文中指“孤僻的孩子不愿与外界有任何联系”。
34. But
空缺前后为两个完整的句子,因此该处应填入连词。逗号前指出“一些孩子有电脑或手机”,之后则提到“大多数孩子几乎没有朋友”,可以看出前后为转折关系,故此处应填入转折连词but。
35. THAT
it is estimated that,为常用搭配,意为“据估计”,文中指“据估计日本有超过一百万的年轻人遭受这种折磨”。
36. such
上句提到很多年轻人遭受折磨,该句紧接上句,举例说明“我最近的一本小说就描写了这样一个年轻人”,one such young man意为“这样的一个年轻人”。
37. during
该空之后为一个时间段,文中指“Hikikomori是20世纪后半叶日本经济快速发展的后果之一”。因此应该填入during,意为“在…期间”。
38. Be
从该空之后出现的形容词withdrawn(孤僻的)可知该处缺少be动词。afford to do sth.为惯用搭配,意为“经得住,承受得起”,可知此处为不定式结构,因此该空应该填入be。
39. if
该空之前的内容指出“日本年轻人经不起如此孤僻下去”,该空之后的内容给出了条件,即“如果他们的父母不是足够富裕来为他们提供住处,三餐和其他东西…”。因此该处应该填入连词if(如果),表示假设。
40. are
该处属于there be句型,由于该句主语为devices,为保持主谓一致,该空应填are。
