    A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism（网瘾）, 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(写日志) on computers and spend long hours at different websites.
    They become hooked（着迷） 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.
    小题1:.The main idea of the passage is about__________.
    A．the cause of weboholismB．the advantage of weboholism
    C．the popularity of weboholismD．the effect of weboholism
    小题2:. We can infer from the passage that_______.
    A．weboholism has the greatest effect on teenagers
    B．students can hardly balance real and virtual life
    C．people are addicted to games on the Internet
    D．virtual life is more vivid and attractive than real life.
    小题3:. Which of the following is NOT true of weboholism?
    A．It contributes to the development of the web.
    B．The chat room language may change social culture.
    C．The problem will be getting more and more serious later.
    D．People addicted to the web often become inactive in real life.

    小题1:D
    小题2:B
    小题3:A

    试题分析：文章介绍了二十世纪的一种社会病---网瘾。它影响到了各年龄段的人群，是十年前没有人会想到的，介绍了青少年和在校大学生的一些情况，他们过分沉溺于网络，不能专心的学习以至于荒废了学业。同时他们通过电脑发表一些日志，整天呆在聊天室聊天，每天都生活在虚拟的世界中，失去了和朋友交流的时间等等。
    小题1: D大意理解题。文章第一自然说明了网瘾对不同年龄段的人都有影响，第二自然段之后讲述了网瘾对青少年和大学生的负面影响，沉溺于虚拟的世界，耽误学习，缺少和朋友现实生活的沟通等等，故答案应为B。
    小题2:B理解判断题。A 网瘾对青少年的影响是最大的，文中只说明对每个年龄段都有影响，只是第三自然段以青少年和大学生为例，并未说明大小的问题，故答案A是错误的；C选项people are addicted to games on the Internet只是其中的一个方面，不是得出的结论，只代表其中的一部分人群，故C选项是错误的；D选项虚拟的世界比现实生活更生动，更有吸引力，与文章的主旨相悖，故是错误的。They become hooked（着迷） 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.他们着迷于电脑，逐渐地他们的社会和学校生活受到了影响，他们花费所有的时间上网不能专心于学习，影响了他们的成绩。They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes.他们在电脑前花费的时间比和他们的朋友在一起的时间更多，和他们朋友的关系也改变了，故B选项他们不能平衡现实和虚拟的生活是正确的。
    小题3:A细节判断题。They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society. 他们有一种在聊天室里说的语言，这就导致了社会文化的改变。故B是正确的；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. 十年前没有人会想到这种影响。这在将来也是一个问题，这种沉溺于网络的行为正在影响到了整个世界，故答案C是正确的；从文章中他们把大部分的时间都花在了上网上，少了和朋友的沟通可知沉溺于网络的人在现实生活中不活跃是正确的。而A选项中网瘾有助于网络的发展是与文章的主旨相悖的。故A是错误的。

    If you live in America in the 21st century you'll probably have to listen to a lot of people tell you how busy they are. It's become the default response when you ask anyone how they are doing: “Busy!” “Crazy busy!”. It is, pretty obviously, a boast disguised as a complaint. And the common response is a kind of congratulation:“ That's a good problem to have, ”or“ Better than the opposite.”
    Notice it isn't generally people pulling back-to-back shifts in the ICU or commuting by bus to three minimum-wage jobs who tell you how busy they are. What those people are is not busy but tired. Exhausted! Dead on their feet. It's almost always people whose busyness is purely self-imposed work and obligations they've taken on voluntarily, classes and activities they've “encouraged” their kids to participate in. They're busy because of their own ambition or drive or anxiety, because they're addicted to busyness and dread that they might have to face in its absence.
    Almost everyone I know is busy. They feel anxious and guilty when they aren't either working or doing something to promote their work. It's something they have chosen. Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance(令人安心的保证），a measure against emptiness, obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or tiny or meaningless if you are so busy, completely booked, in demand every hour of the day.
    Idleness is not just a vacation. It is as necessary to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as ugly as rickets. The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration.” Idle dreaming is often the essence of what we do”, wrote Thomas Pynchon. Archimedes' “Eureka” in the bath, Newton's apple :history is full of stories of inspirations that come in idle moments.
    小题1:When many Americans say “Crazy busy”, they mean______.
    A．they are really tired of their present situation
    B．they are really proud of their present life
    C．they are complaining about their current work
    D．their life are full of all kinds of problems
    小题2:The writer mentions Archimedes'“Eureka” and Newton's apple to show that________.
    A．history is full of interesting stories
    B．Archimedes and Newton were very busy, so they made great discoveries
    C．people may get inspiration when they are idle
    D．inspirations come from hard work
    小题3:The word “its” in the second paragraph refers to_________________.
    ambition      B. anxiety         C. busyness        D. dread
    小题4:From the article, we can infer that ___________________.
    A．generally people pulling back-to-back shifts in the ICU tell you they are busy
    B．“Dead on their feet” means “being tired out”
    C．all the kids are self-imposed due to the drive and motivation
    D．The author seems to agree that idleness is better than busyness

    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.
    小题1:Miss World Beauty Contest in Britain has a history of ______.
    A．120 yearsB．about half a century
    C．100 yearsD．about half a year
    小题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.
    小题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
    小题4:From the passage we can know the writer thinks that _____________.
    A．contestants’ qualities are more important than their physical appearance
    B．a Mr. World Contest should be held instead of a Miss World Contest
    C．a boy should stand by a fancy car
    D．women’s social status is still low
    小题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.

    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 (两栖动物) 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.
    小题1:We can infer that the Indians may kill poison frogs in order to______.
    A．treat diseasesB．avoid being bitten
    C．hunt animalsD．eat their meat
    小题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
    小题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.

    “Now I just don’t believe that.” Surely all of us, at some point, have watched a movie and thought: It’s simply badly researched, or, the makers must think we’re fools.
    If movies were completely scientifically accurate, they’d probably be as interesting as a Physics 101 lecture. In real life, there are no explosions in space, gas usually doesn’t explode from a lit cigarette, and Bruce Willis / Jackie Chan / Will Smith would most likely be in a coma(昏迷) after getting kicked in the head.
    Recently, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph ran a humorous piece on unconvincing tech moments from some top movies. Let’s see what they are all about.
    Telegraph writer Tom Chivers’ first example is from the end-of-the-world movie Independence Day, in which a character comes up with a virus capable of destroying Windows, the computer system the alien(外星人的) spacecraft uses. “It’s a good thing they didn’t have Norton antivirus,” jokes Chivers.
    It’s just one case of a movie that takes a lot of license with its science. Another one Chivers mentions is from Star Wars, where glowing beams of light traveling through space look very impressive. The problem is that in space there are no air particles(颗粒) for the light to reflect off. In reality, they’d not be seen, which wouldn’t look so cool on the big screen.
    Chivers’ second piece of Star Wars nonsense is the sound the fighters make in the movies: “ the bellow(咆哮) of an elephant mixed with a car driving on a wet road”. But sound needs a medium to travel through, like air. In space, there wouldn’t actually be any sound at all.
    Few people would deny that the mind-bending Matrix films make for great viewing, but for Chivers, the science in the movies is a little silly.
    And finally: as Chivers points out, DAN is not replaceable. But this bit of elementary genetics passed the makers of the 2002 Bond film Die another Day by. In the film the villain(坏人) has “gene therapy” to change his appearance and his DNA, which is completely impossible.
    小题1:What does the text mainly deal with?
    A．Plots of some famous movies.B．Characters in space movies.
    C．Popularity of space movies.D．Mistakes made in some movies.
    小题2:From the first two paragraphs we can know that some movie makers ____.
    A．went against general knowledge of science
    B．didn’t pay attention to the viewers’ real demand
    C．overestimated viewers’ appreciation of movies.
    D．didn’t try their best to improve the quality of the movies.
    小题3:What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
    A．The newspapers. B．Unconvincing tech moments
    C．Some top movies.D．Heroes in the movies.
    小题4:We can learn from Paragraph 7 that ____.
    A．most people like Matrix films
    B．the truth of Matrix films remains in doubt
    C．few people think Matrix films silly
    D．Chivers thinks science is unacceptable

    Dr. Wiseman started the “laugh lab” project in September 2001. It is the largest study of humor. Participants are invited to log on the laugh lab website, give a few personal details, tell their favorite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people.
    Their project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the world’s funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose. The researchers want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between male’s and female’s sense of humor. The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh.
    This is a subject that has long interested psychologists (心理学家) and philosophers (哲学家). Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves.
    By December 2001 over 10,000 jokes had been submitted (公认的). This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women do have different senses of humor, for example.
    “Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humor,” said Dr Wiseman. “Males use humor to appear superior (高傲的，有优越感的) to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play.”
    Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humor. The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humor”. But the French like their jokes short and sharp, “You’re a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $ 500?” “Yes. What’s the second question?”
    The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humor. But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality. Perhaps that proves the point. Is this joke funny? I don’t know, but let’s say yes, just to be safe.
    Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief (安慰). Computers already seem like they can do everything. But at least they should leave the funny things to us.
    小题1:The scientist started the “laugh lab” project ________.
    A．to find the funniest joke in European countries
    B．to know what funny people are from different nations and cultures
    C．to find out the differences between the male’s and female’s sense of humor
    D．to get more personal details about participants
    小题2:The writer gave the examples of the British, the French and the Germans_____.
    A．to show that the French people have a better sense of humor
    B．to prove the British people have a sense of “toilet humor”
    C．to show people from different nations have different senses of humor
    D．to prove that the Germans have no sense of humor
    小题3:Which statement is true according to the passage?
    A．The jokes by computer are less funny than those by humans.
    B．The Germans cannot find the submitted jokes amusing.
    C．Males are better at word play compared with women.
    D．Females like to use humor to show that they are superior.

    We’ve reached a strange—some would say unusual—point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days.
    Worse, nearly l8 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What’s going on?
    We really don’t have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through—up to a point.
    In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.
    Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world’s most body-conscious country.
    We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower.
    Others blame good food. They say: it’s just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food.
    Some also blame their parents—their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape, or rather slim.
    It’s a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say—not as I do.
    小题1:What is the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?
    A．The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.
    B．Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the world.
    C．WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safety.
    D．Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts.
    小题2:Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?
    A．A lot of effective diet pills are available.
    B．Body image has nothing to do with good food.
    C．They have been made fully aware of its dangers.
    D．There are too many overweight people in the world.
    小题3:The example of Finland is used to illustrate ______.
    A．the cause of heart disease
    B．the fashion of body shaping
    C．the effectiveness of a campaign
    D．the history of a body-conscious country
    小题4:Which would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Actions or Excuses?B．Overweight or Underweight?
    C．WHO in a DilemmaD．No Longer Dying of Hunger
