In a study of almost 400 men and women in Canada, researchers found Internet addiction caused
15、 people to spend 40 hours or more a week online. Most of them often got involved in role-playing games or chat room discussion. One 17-year-old boy was so addicted to the Internet activities that his parents had to admit him to a hospital for 10 days treatment. One woman was described by friends and
16、 family as a perfect wife and mother. She became so addicted to the Internet that she would not cook or clean and was neglecting her children and husband, because she was spending as much as 12 hours a day talking to people on the Internet. Finally her husband said,“ Choose me or the computer.“ She
17、divorced him.Kimberly Young, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh, found that 76 percent of the subjects(调查对象) in the study spend an average of 40 hours a week on the Internet. Of 396 people who met Young s criteria(标准) for addicted Internet users, 157 were men, 239 w
18、omen. The men were younger with an average age of 29, the women average 43 years of age. The largest group of addicted users of the Internet was people who were not working outside home, housewives, students and those who were disabled(残疾) or retired.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the researcher in the
19、University of Pittsburgh, surfing the Internet can be highly_.（分数：2.00）A.tiringB.excitingC.harmfulD.wasteful(2).After getting addicted to the Internet, the woman_.（分数：2.00）A.chose to leave her husbandB.chose to live with her husbandC.was too busy with her houseworkD.was too busy to work(3).From the
20、passage, we learn that the majority of addicted Internet users are_.（分数：2.00）A.middle-aged menB.middle-aged womenC.young menD.young women(4).According to this research, people who are likely to become addicted Internet users are_.（分数：2.00）A.those who are busy with their workB.those who want to make

I wish it were so. At this age you ought to be growing away
22、 from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. They say they want to dress as they please, but all of them wear the same clothes
23、. They set off in new directions in music, but all of them end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting is that the others are doing it that way. It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. These days e
24、very teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today s parents have come to award(给予) high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth
25、 climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records and stamps. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for
26、who you are. Thats the only kind of popularity that really counts.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is true according to paragraph 1?（分数：2.00）A.Parents are happy that their children rebel.B.Teenagers should not live with their parents.C.The author of this passage agrees with the parents.D.Parents

28、r own, but in fact, most of them_.（分数：2.00）A.have difficulty understanding each otherB.follow the popularity waveC.dare to deal with problems by themselvesD.are very much afraid of getting lonely(4).Which of the following is one way of “climbing over the barrier“ according to the author?（分数：2.00）A.L

30、their childrenD.people how to understand and respect each otherA moments drilling by the dentist may make us nervous and upset. Many of us cannot stand pain. To avoid the pain of a drilling that may last perhaps a minute or two, we demand the needle that deadens the nerves around the tooth. Now its
31、true that the human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside it. This helps us adjust to the world. Without our nerves and our brain, we wouldnt know whats happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing
32、 is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture (酷刑) is based on the human body being open to pain. But there is a way to handle pain. Some Indian monks can sit on a bed of nails. Fakirs (苦行僧)can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have deve
33、loped to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain. The big thing in standing pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says this will hurt a little, it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation(感觉) , we ca
34、n handle the pain calmly. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.（分数：10.00）(1).The word “deaden“ in paragraph 1 probably means “_“.（分数：2.00）A.increaseB.restrainC.improveD.excite(2).The sentence “ But we pay for our sensitivi
35、ty“ in the second paragraph means that_.（分数：2.00）A.we should pay a debt for our feelingB.we have to be hurt when we feel somethingC.our pain is worthwhileD.when we feel pain, we are suffering it(3).When the author mentions the Indian fakir, he suggests that_.（分数：2.00）A.Indians are not at all afraid
36、of painB.some people may be senseless of painC.some people are able to handle painD.fakirs have magic to avoid pain(4).Which of the following is true?（分数：2.00）A.The nerves play an important part in feeling pain.B.We can only feel pain when badly wounded.C.The dentists can do nothing to the pain.D.Ev
37、eryone should try his best to avoid pain.(5).The most important thing to handle pain is how to_.（分数：2.00）A.avoid painB.put up with painC.look at painD.stop painThere is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spell
38、ing or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in
39、writing without holding him back with the complexities (复杂性) of spelling. If spelling becomes the only focus of his teachers interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to play safe. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. Thats why tea
40、chers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability. I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors in the writing, but it was also a
41、 sad reflection on the teacher who had feelings. “The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have encouraged the pupil to improve his writing.（分数：10.00）(1).Which o
42、f the following is true according to paragraph 1?（分数：2.00）A.Parents are not interested in spelling.B.Schools are not interested in spelling.C.Teachers must give top priority to spelling.D.Complex spelling prevents free writing.(2).From the passage, we can infer that_.（分数：2.00）A.parents support how t
43、he schools teach spellingB.parents dont know how the schools teach spellingC.people agree on the importance of spelling in writingD.people agree on how to teach spelling in writing(3).In the second paragraph, the expression “play safe“ most probably means “_“.（分数：2.00）A.pay more attention to the ide
44、asB.write freely and smoothlyC.avoid words he is not sure ofD.use dictionaries very early(4).Which of the following is true according to the last paragraph?（分数：2.00）A.The writing did not truly reflect the feelings.B.The teacher liked the writing very much.C.The teachers priority was on the childs id
45、eas.D.The author disagreed to the teachers comments.(5).This passage mainly discusses_.（分数：2.00）A.the necessity of teaching spelling in writingB.the role of developing writing skillsC.the complexities of spellingD.the relationship between spelling and ideas三、Cloze(总题数：1，分数：40.00)Have you【C1】_ asked
