A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism（網(wǎng)癮）, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit.  They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.
Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. Such behavior has seriously affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log(寫日志) on computers and spend long hours at different websites.
They become hooked（著迷） on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.
They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.
Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world.
【小題1】.The main idea of the passage is about__________.

A．the cause of weboholism B．the advantage of weboholism

【小題2】. We can infer from the passage that_______.

解析試題分析：文章介紹了二十世紀(jì)的一種社會(huì)病---網(wǎng)癮。它影響到了各年齡段的人群，是十年前沒有人會(huì)想到的，介紹了青少年和在校大學(xué)生的一些情況，他們過(guò)分沉溺于網(wǎng)絡(luò)，不能專心的學(xué)習(xí)以至于荒廢了學(xué)業(yè)。同時(shí)他們通過(guò)電腦發(fā)表一些日志，整天呆在聊天室聊天，每天都生活在虛擬的世界中，失去了和朋友交流的時(shí)間等等。
【小題1】 D大意理解題。文章第一自然說(shuō)明了網(wǎng)癮對(duì)不同年齡段的人都有影響，第二自然段之后講述了網(wǎng)癮對(duì)青少年和大學(xué)生的負(fù)面影響，沉溺于虛擬的世界，耽誤學(xué)習(xí)，缺少和朋友現(xiàn)實(shí)生活的溝通等等，故答案應(yīng)為B。
【小題2】B理解判斷題。A 網(wǎng)癮對(duì)青少年的影響是最大的，文中只說(shuō)明對(duì)每個(gè)年齡段都有影響，只是第三自然段以青少年和大學(xué)生為例，并未說(shuō)明大小的問(wèn)題，故答案A是錯(cuò)誤的；C選項(xiàng)people are addicted to games on the Internet只是其中的一個(gè)方面，不是得出的結(jié)論，只代表其中的一部分人群，故C選項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的；D選項(xiàng)虛擬的世界比現(xiàn)實(shí)生活更生動(dòng)，更有吸引力，與文章的主旨相悖，故是錯(cuò)誤的。They become hooked（著迷） on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school.他們著迷于電腦，逐漸地他們的社會(huì)和學(xué)校生活受到了影響，他們花費(fèi)所有的時(shí)間上網(wǎng)不能專心于學(xué)習(xí)，影響了他們的成績(jī)。They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes.他們?cè)陔娔X前花費(fèi)的時(shí)間比和他們的朋友在一起的時(shí)間更多，和他們朋友的關(guān)系也改變了，故B選項(xiàng)他們不能平衡現(xiàn)實(shí)和虛擬的生活是正確的。
【小題3】A細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society. 他們有一種在聊天室里說(shuō)的語(yǔ)言，這就導(dǎo)致了社會(huì)文化的改變。故B是正確的；Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world. 十年前沒有人會(huì)想到這種影響。這在將來(lái)也是一個(gè)問(wèn)題，這種沉溺于網(wǎng)絡(luò)的行為正在影響到了整個(gè)世界，故答案C是正確的；從文章中他們把大部分的時(shí)間都花在了上網(wǎng)上，少了和朋友的溝通可知沉溺于網(wǎng)絡(luò)的人在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中不活躍是正確的。而A選項(xiàng)中網(wǎng)癮有助于網(wǎng)絡(luò)的發(fā)展是與文章的主旨相悖的。故A是錯(cuò)誤的。

We are already familiar with computers—computers work for us at home, in offices and in factories. But it is also true that many children today are using computers at schools before they can write. What does this mean for the future? Are these children lucky or not?
Many people who do not know about computers think of them as machines that children play with. They worry that children do not learn from experience but just from pressing a button and that this is not good for them. They think that children are growing not knowing about the real world.
But people who understand more about computers say that computers can be very good for children. A computer can help them to learn about the real world more quickly, to learn what they want to learn and think for themselves. And for the future, don’t we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well? What do you think?
【小題1】“To be familiar with” means to ______.

A．know nothing B．know about C．dislike D．like
【小題2】Does everyone think computers are good for children?

Long working hours,the fewest holidays and the high cost of living mean the big salaries on offer（可使用的）in the UK do not go as far as those earned in other countries,making Britain and Ireland the worst places to live in Europe．

It may be one of Britain’s most successful exports – Miss World. This 53-year-old event took place in China last week and attracted over 120 women worldwide with knockout looks in a mad struggle for the crown.
Traditional values have long kept the Chinese, especially women, from displaying beauty. But Chinese people have now changed their attitude toward beauty contest, although some men will still be shouting that the winner is no more beautiful than his wife or his former girl friend or even his mother in a sour tone. But such men are not shouting for the right reason. The question to be asked is : Why isn’t there a Mr. World Beauty Contest?
And a further question to be asked is: Does taking part in a beauty contest show a woman’s  courage, wisdom and liberation or rather the opposite – a forced choice and a revolting act made under conditions of long-term discrimination?
Organizers of such beauty contests claim that the contestants are judged on qualities other than just their physical appearance. But still no answer is given to why there isn’t a Mr. Beauty or a Mr. World Contest? Or at least, why isn’t that kind of contest popular? Why is it that only women’s “qualities” need to be recognized but not men’s?
Think about who is always standing beside a fancy car on show? Is it a boy or a girl? And this is how “qualities” are judged: if the girl looks good, there is little reason why the car beside her is not of high quality.
The beauty contests go on year after year, with winners enjoying fame which quickly disappears. While such events go on and on, what never changes is the routine practice that in every fancy car show, a girl stands beside a fancy car. What never changes is the need to hold a women’s conference every year to appeal for the promotion of respect for and improvement of women. What never changes is the fate of women as a class. So let’s put more time and resources into trying to change all this rather than holding beauty contests.
【小題1】Miss World Beauty Contest in Britain has a history of ______.

A．120 years B．a(chǎn)bout half a century
C．100 years D．a(chǎn)bout half a year
【小題2】Which of the following is TRUE to the passage?
A．Miss World Beauty Contest first began in China.
B．Women were not allowed to show their beauty in China.
C．120 women took part in Beauty Contest last week.
D．Miss World was 54 years old.
【小題3】 According to the writer,        .
A．Chinese women are not allowed to display beauty
B．the winner of Miss World is not as beautiful as his wife
C．some men are not shouting for the right person
D．people can accept a beauty contest in China now
【小題4】From the passage we can know the writer thinks that _____________.
A．contestants’ qualities are more important than their physical appearance
B．a(chǎn) Mr. World Contest should be held instead of a Miss World Contest
C．a(chǎn) boy should stand by a fancy car
D．women’s social status is still low
【小題5】The best title for this passage is ____________.
A．What about a Mr. World Contest?
B．History of Miss World Contest.
C．Quality or Appearance?
D．A Boy Standing beside a Fancy Car.

It's really true what people say about English politeness: it's everywhere. When squeezing past someone in a narrow passage, people say "sorry". When getting off a bus, English passengers say "thank you" rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles, and here are some more polite ways of interacting (交往) with people in UK.
People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customers and retail assistants in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.
Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted.
【小題1】What is the author's attitude towards English politeness?

A．He thinks it is artificial. B．He thinks little of it.
C．He appreciates it very much. D．He thinks it goes too far.
【小題2】 What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The author think it's unnecessary to say "thank you" to the bus driver.
B．In Germany, employers often say "thank you" to employees for their job.
C．German men never treat a woman to dinner.
D．Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough.
【小題3】We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men _______.
A．a(chǎn)re more likely to be involved in a fighting
B．a(chǎn)re as generous as English men
C．treat women in a polite way
D．a(chǎn)re unwilling to spend money for women
【小題4】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．English drivers often say "thank you" to passengers when they get off the bus.
B．In Germany, passengers sometimes say "thank you" to bus drivers.
C．English people try to avoid criticizing others in the daily life.
D．Germans are more considerate and polite than Englishmen.

A．making comparisons B．telling stories

You may have seen a lot of frogs, but if you haven't, you must have heard about frogs. However, have you heard about a frog that can kill a person?
These small brightly colored amphibians (兩棲動(dòng)物) live in the tropical  rain forests of Central and South America. They are best known for their ability to kill persons even though they are no more than 2 inches long. If we touch their poisonous skin without proper protection (such as gloves), we may die! For animals of this size that can be so deadly, they are certainly one of the world's most poisonous animals! Who are they? They are poison arrow frogs or, simply, poison frogs.
Poison frogs acquired their name from the Indians. The Indians catch and kill many of these frogs before hanging them upside down over a campfire. As the frogs get hot, the poison drips out of their skin. The Indians collect the poisonous liquid in a bottle and dip(蘸) the tips of their arrows into the bottle. Once the tips are dried, they are ready to be used for their arrows for hunting.
There are about 170 different types of poison arrow frogs in the world. Though most species have bright markings, either in stripes or patches, on their black bodies, some just wear noticeable single-colored coats. Their shocking skin colors-usually in yellow, red, green, blue or orange-serve as a warning sign to other animals. The sign simply says,” Stay away or pay with your life!” They certainly do not bluff.
【小題1】We can infer that the Indians may kill poison frogs in order to______.

A．treat diseasesB．a(chǎn)void being bitten
C．hunt animalsD．eat their meat
【小題2】According to the passage,  poison frogs______.
A can grow to several meters long                   B. like to change colors on the back
C. have bright-colored skin or markings            D. are on the edge of dying out
【小題3】Which of the following best explains the last sentence of the passage?
A．Poison frogs don't want to kill others.
B．Poison frogs do not just scare others.
C．Poison frogs want to stop others from coming near.
D．Poison frogs just pretend to be dangerous animals.

The way we do things round here
Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, "Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us." That "quite" saddened me. I thought he was saying "we're kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else." Then I discovered that in American English "quite" sometimes means "very", while in British English it means "fairly".
So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don't just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures（文化）．
Some of these differences may be only on the surface-dress, food and hours of work-while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate（氣候），while getting on with business.
Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality（準(zhǔn)時(shí)）．If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the
American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word "late" because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.
【小題1】The author was unhappy as mentioned in paragraph 1 because he thought_____.

A．the American bank didn’t think much of him
B．the American bank might hire another person
C．it’s difficult to get used to American culture.
D．it’s easy to misunderstanding Americans
【小題2】The word “highlights”in paragraph 2 probably means_____
A．encourage B．helps to marrow
C．increase D．draws attention to
【小題3】 According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?
A．Ask the native people for help. B．Understand and accept them.
C．Do things in our own way. D．Do in-depth research.
【小題4】. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are______.
A．Italians B．Germans C．Greeks D．the British

“When I grow up, I want to be...”
Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your aspirations may have changed from when you were in primary school.
However, it seems career options aren’t only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens, doctors, lawyers, and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is in line with a similar survey carried out in the UK in May 2011 by job website monster. Co.uk, in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17.
Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are some of the most esteemed members of society, and they make good money. Joining these high-profile professions is often seen as a sign of upward social mobility.
It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career. British young men list the UK tycoon Alan Sugar, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg as their top role models “for their wealth”. Just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun pathway to “wealth”.
However, not every child has the makings of doctor, lawyer, or banker. They are those who see fulfillment and happiness in other areas, and many teenagers dare to ink more individuality into their career options. As the Teens’ survey discovered, a variety of unconventional jobs---coffee shop owner, gourmet(美食家)，waiter at a fast food restaurant---are among teenagers’ career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.
With every choice comes responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training, you have to learn to balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.
【小題1】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Careers in teenagers’ mind.
B．Choosing a good job is very important.
C．Teenagers in the UK like doctors.
D．The choice of career needs challenge.
【小題2】What is the top career choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17 according to the article?
A．Medicine B．Law C．Bank D．Education
【小題3】According to the article, all of the following are the benefits of being a doctor except_______.
A．respect from others B．the oldest profession
C．high pay D．upward social mobility.
【小題4】What do youngsters think is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career?
A．Prestige B．Fulfillment C．Happiness D．Wealth
【小題5】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．According to your particular talents and skills, you can choose your favorite career.
B．Specific education and training can help get a good job.
C．Whatever career you choose, you should balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.
D．Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.
