14、ty of Pittsburgh said last month.In a study of almost 400 men and women in Canada, researchers found Internet addiction caused 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 Int
15、ernet activities that his parents had to admit him to a hospital for 10 days treatment.One woman was described by friends and 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 spen
16、ding as much as 12 hours a day talking to people on the Internet. Finally her husband said,“ Choose me or the computer.“ She 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
17、 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 women. 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 out
18、side home, housewives, students and those who were disabled(残疾) or retired.36 According to the researcher in the University of Pittsburgh, surfing the Internet can be highly_.（A）tiring（B） exciting（C） harmful（D）wasteful37 After getting addicted to the Internet, the woman_.（A）chose to leave her husban

20、e addicted Internet users are_.（A）those who are busy with their work（B） those who want to make friends（C） those who are not employed（D）those who are fond of talking40 The writers attitude towards Internet surfing is_.（A）supportive（B） negative（C） neutral（D）practical40 Many parents complain that their
21、 teenage children are rebelling (叛逆). I wish it were so. At this age you ought to be growing away 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
22、their parents. They say they want to dress as they please, but all of them wear the same clothes. 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
23、 for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. These days every 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
24、 great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth 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, g
25、o to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. Thats the only kind of popularity that really counts.41 Which of the following is true according to paragraph 1?（A）Parents are happy that their children rebel.（B） Teenagers should not live with
26、 their parents.（C） The author of this passage agrees with the parents.（D）Parents dislike their childrens rebellion.42 The kind of rebellion mentioned in this passage is that all teenagers_.（A）dress in their own ways（B） wear the same clothes（C） listen to the same music（D）act in the same way43 Accordi
27、ng to the writer, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact, most of them_.（A）have difficulty understanding each other（B） follow the popularity wave（C） dare to deal with problems by themselves（D）are very much afraid of getting lonely44 Which of the following is one
28、way of “climbing over the barrier“ according to the author?（A）Listening to classical music.（B） Going to evening parties.（C） Collecting records and stamps.（D）Learning from advertisements.45 In this passage the writer wants to tell_.（A）teenagers how to decide things for themselves（B） readers how to be
29、 popular with other people（C） parents how to control and guide their children（D）people how to understand and respect each other45 A 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 d
30、emand the needle that deadens the nerves around the tooth.Now its 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
31、pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing 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
32、an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed 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,
33、and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation(感觉) , we can handle the pain calmly. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.46 The word “deaden“ in paragraph 1 probably means “_“.（A）increase（B） restrain（C） improve（D）exc
34、ite47 The sentence “ But we pay for our sensitivity“ in the second paragraph means that_.（A）we should pay a debt for our feeling（B） we have to be hurt when we feel something（C） our pain is worthwhile（D）when we feel pain, we are suffering it48 When the author mentions the Indian fakir, he suggests th
35、at_.（A）Indians are not at all afraid of pain（B） some people may be senseless of pain（C） some people are able to handle pain（D）fakirs have magic to avoid pain49 Which of the following is true?（A）The nerves play an important part in feeling pain.（B） We can only feel pain when badly wounded.（C） The den
36、tists can do nothing to the pain.（D）Everyone should try his best to avoid pain.50 The most important thing to handle pain is how to_.（A）avoid pain（B） put up with pain（C） look at pain（D）stop pain50 There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I
37、have taught in has ever ignored spelling 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 expr
38、ess himself freely and confidently in 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 avoi
39、d adventurous language. Thats why teachers 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 erro
40、rs in the writing, but it was also a 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 impro
41、ve his writing.51 Which of the following is true according to paragraph 1?（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.52 From the passage, we can infer that_.（A）parents
42、support how the schools teach spelling（B） parents dont know how the schools teach spelling（C） people agree on the importance of spelling in writing（D）people agree on how to teach spelling in writing53 In the second paragraph, the expression “play safe“ most probably means “_“.（A）pay more attention t
43、o the ideas（B） write freely and smoothly（C） avoid words he is not sure of（D）use dictionaries very early54 Which of the following is true according to the last paragraph?（A）The writing did not truly reflect the feelings.（B） The teacher liked the writing very much.（C） The teachers priority was on the
44、childs ideas.（D）The author disagreed to the teachers comments.55 This passage mainly discusses_.（A）the necessity of teaching spelling in writing（B） the role of developing writing skills（C） the complexities of spelling（D）the relationship between spelling and ideas二、Cloze55 Have you【C1】_ asked yoursel
45、f why children go to school? You will probably say that they go【C2】_ their own language and other languages, arithmetic, history, science and【C3】_ subjects.
