However, they can also cause problems and unhealt

26、hy addictions. This is most clearly seen in the example of South Korea. This country has the worlds highest percentage of high-speed Internet services. It has also a high number of game players who are addicted to online games.In 2004, a young man died after playing online games almost nonstop for 8

27、6 hours. A 12-year-old boy stole $16,000 from his father to continue onIine games which he could not get away from. Such problems are spreading to other parts of Asia as well. In 2005, it was reported that about 80 percenf of Chinas 13.8 million online game players were under 25.And many of these we

28、re said to be addicted. Such numbers point toward a growing problem among Chinese youth.Dr. Sue-Huei Chen, a psychologist (心理学家), discovered some signs of at-risk people. Such people often go online to escape from their problems. And they usually have no friendship or good social skills. They feel t

29、he need to spend more and more time online, so they may be absent from school or family. And they become upset if anyone tries to limit their online game playing.56. The passage is mainly about A. online game addiction B. problems caused by online gamesC. computer problems in Asia D. problems caused

30、 by young people57. In the passage, the writer tells us a fact that A. South Korea has a large number of Internet schoolsB. More and more young men are stealing money for online gamesC.

31、orea58.

A. people under great pressure from school and work B. people well-known in the field of computer games C. people with unsolved problems and few friends D. people whod like to take a risk in computer gamesBSome kids cant

33、 sit still for very long. They have a hard time paying attention to just one thing. Theyre easily distracted（分心）, they can get very impatient, they hate standing in line or waiting for their turn in a game or activity, they get bored pretty fast, and they may also be impulsive (冲动的) saying the first

34、 thing that comes to mind or interrupting someone else whos talking. For certain kids, this problem is so severe that doctors have a name for it: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD (注意力缺陷和多动症). Perhaps as many as one out of every 20 kids under the age of 18 have characteristics of ADH

35、D. Often, these kids have trouble getting through school and facing other difficulties later in life. Rizzo started developing the Virtual(虚拟的) Classroom in 1999. He wanted to see if he could use it as a tool for testing and treating kids who have attention disorders. To diagnose (诊断) ADHD, doctors

36、typically test patients by giving them tasks that require attention. As part of one classic test, you watch letters flashing on a computer screen. Every time you see the letter “A” followed by the letter “X”, you have to press the space bar. If youre paying close attention, youll record all of the t

37、imes when this combination（组合）occurs. If not, youll miss some. The Virtual Classroom makes these tests more efficient, Rizzo says. In one experiment, he gave a group of kids the classic “A-X” test. Instead of looking at a computer screen in a doctors office, though, the kids wore headsets that made

38、them feel like they were taking the test in a classroom.“Basically,” Rizzo says, “we found that the testing usually requires a couple of hours with computer screens in a doctors office, but it only takes 20 minutes with virtual reality.” 60. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A

39、. Virtual RealityB. Virtual Classroom for Kids with ADHDC. The Symptoms（症状） of ADHDD. How to Deal With ADHD 61. One serious problem with kids with ADHD is that they _.

What does a doctor require a kid to do in the test to diagnose ADHD? A. Speak out the two letters “A” and “X”

41、. B. Write down the letters shown on the screen of a computer. C. Act to a combination of letters. D. Make out each letter shown on the screen of a computer. CSubmit（提交）your photos and videos to You Witness News to have them considered for use on R, Yahoo!, and the Reuters professional picture servi

42、ce, used by thousands of news organizations worldwide.When you send images to pics, please provide the following so that we can review and post them:l Your full name l Your email address or phone numberl A brief description of the event you shot with the place and date that it occurredShare your tak

43、e with the world.What make a good news photograph?As youre thinking about taking news photographs, think about what makes up a good picture.Most importantly, it will be of interest to a wide audience（观众）. It may describe an event in the news: a train crash, a clash in the streets, crazily happy fans

44、 the moment the big game is won.Uniqueness(独一无二) is eye-catching. A picture that no one else took has much more news value than one taken alongside a rank of other photographers. A good news picture will tell a story without words. It will have background by showing the surrounding scene, or show th

45、e emotion（情感）on the faces of the people in the picture.Timeliness is of decisive importance. Whatever the content, a news picture can lose its value in a short space of time. News events move quickly, and the shot of a mini tornado you took last week may have been used for the front page when you to

46、ok it, but of no interest to a newspaper or a website（网站）a week later.Control is important.

49、emind people not to disturb others while taking photosD. to encourage you to share the take67.Which of the following is a good news photograph?A. A bird escapes from the cage.B. A policeman is robbed in the street.C. Two dogs fight in the park.D. An old couple quarrel at home.DIt was Christmas Day 1

50、999. On CNN, talk show host Larry King was interviewing Stephen Hawking .“What, professor, puzzled you the most?” King asked, “what do you think about the most?”Hawking immediately replied, “Women”.Its a comfort that Hawking, one of the smartest men in the world, is puzzled by the opposite sex. But,

51、 thats not surprising, according to Satoshi Kanazawa. Bright people are no better than anyone else at making smart decisions about common things, he says. There include finding a mate, maintaining family relationships, raising children, finding the way home, and dealing with a variety of basic life

52、needs. Thats because there are several kinds of formal “intelligence(智力),” Kanazawa argues. Being smart one way does not necessary mean smart in another way. This view is sure to cause arguments among scientists who think about thinking. That is because it disagrees with the common view that general

53、 intelligence is a single thing. In that view, it is not, as Kanazawa and others say, a set of independent mental areas. Kanazawa says that some kinds of intelligence developed slowly over time. Many people have heard about what is called “emotional intelligence”. Now, psychologists(心理学家) have disco

54、vered recognize faces, and locate（确定位置）oneself in a new environment. But, is there proof to support the theory that intelligence comes in many forms? “Actually, there is quite a lot of proof,” Kanazawa says “If there were only one type of intelligence”, he adds “Then people with high IQs should be s

55、mart in every way.”In one test, a psychologist took a group of subjects on a hike, walking into the forest. He then told them to find their way back. The high IQ people were no more likely to be able to find out where they were. In another experiment, a researcher asked people to find their way to a

56、 specific location in a computer maze(迷宫).Once again, high IQ did not give them any edge. 68. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Its surprising that the opposite sex puzzles Hawking.B. Its natural that the opposite sex puzzles Hawking.C. People with high IQ have more

57、advantages in daily life.D. People with high IQ have more emotional intelligence.69. What are smart people according to Satoshi Kanazawa?A. They are better than the other people at making smart decisions about common things.B. They are as bad as the other people at making smart decisions about commo

58、n things.C. They are more likely to be able to find the way back than the other people. D. They are more likely to be able to find a friend of the opposite sex. 70. The underlined word “edge” in this passage probably means “_”.A. corner.B. intelligenceC. advantageD. proof71. What does the last parag

59、raph play in the text?A. Drawing a conclusion.B. Supporting the subject with facts. C. Stating the fact.C. Explaining the subject.EHow come the boys always get to go somewhere but we have to stay here? Toby, my cousin, complained. Soon we had an idea of finding a hidden treasure, but we had to find

60、out how to make this happen. We went upstairs to my parents bedroom which was always tidy and smelled like my mothers perfume. Opening the silver lid of the glass jar, we looked nervously inside and removed my mothers pretty pearl ring and diamond ring. Mom only wore them when she got dressed up to

61、go somewhere, so Toby believed she wouldnt miss them. We wrapped them up tightly in toilet paper and quickly ran out into the big field where we often pretended tO ride wild horses.We brought along a big kitchen spoon to dig a hole and buried the rings. Dont tell anyone. Toby made me promise. For so

62、me unknown reason we forgot to go back later.It was almost a week before my mother realized her rings were missing and she was driven mad. The look on my face must have been a dead give-away and it wasnt long before I told the whole story about my adventure with Toby. Only then did I realize theseri

63、ousness of my crime.Show me where, my mother demanded. So off we went for the rings. But I couldnt remember exactly where! We dug in several places without success. Eventually we gave up, and amazingly my mother didnt shout at me. One day about six years later, a farmer found a pearl ring in the soi

64、l and he kindly handed it over to my mother, who was overjoyed. This discovery started an exciting new search. But the other was never discovered. Many years later, I noticed my sister wearing the pearl ring. When I asked my mother how, she answered, Well, I always planned to give my good rings to m
