    The neglected baby is crying alone. The young man, suffering from a lack of sleep, threatens suicide. The marriage fails because of the husband’s crazy behavior.
    Is this just another story of social breakdown in the modern age? Not really. But they are the effects of a real social problem—Internet Addiction(沉溺), or, Internet Addiction Disorder.
    The addiction is obvious from the popularity of one game alone: “Halo 2”. It’s a first-person shooter developed by Bungie Studios for the Xbox video game console. By early 2005, 1 million players worldwide had clocked up an amazing 100 million hours on the game, among which are 360, 000 Chinese players.
    China has about 94 million regular Internet users. Of these, a survey suggested, 4.4 million are teenagers who are so addicted to it that they neglect anything else.
    Video gamers who have gone too far show symptoms similar to those of alcohol and drug abusers. “The real world meant nothing to me when I was fully involved in online games. I lost track of time, space, hunger, pain, and everything,” explained Liu Pinyi, a 19-year-old college dropout. She has had treatment in Beijing for her addiction.
    What makes it similar to drugs is that online game addicts also develop a chemical imbalance in their brains. Gaming stimulates the production of a chemical compound that produces delighted or pleasant feelings. When they’re away from the screen, they suffer feelings of anxiety and headaches.
    Experts say young people are attracted to video games partly because they are partly because they are pushed right into the center of the action. This allows them to overcome a lack of confidence which people at that age can often suffer from.
    小题1:What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing the first paragraph?
    A．To show his worries about Internet Addiction.
    B．To show harm of Internet Addiction
    C．To warn couples of the problem.
    D．To introduce the topic of the passage.
    小题2: How much time in total had Chinese game players spent on “Halo 2” by early 2005?
    A．1 million hours.B．94 million hours
    C．100 million hours.D．36 million hours
    小题3: When video gamers get lost in a game, they do the following EXCEPT that _______.
    A．They forget time, space, hunger and everything.
    B．They drink a lot of alcohol and use drug.
    C．They feel confident in the virtual games
    D．Their brains produce a chemical which makes them delighted.
    小题4: what is the passage mainly about?
    A．Internet is bad for teenagers
    B．Actions should be taken to deal with Internet Addiction
    C．Web produces Internet Addiction Disorder
    D．Teenagers should not play video games

    An idea that started in Seattle’s public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.
    In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hongkong.
    In Chicago, the mayor(市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.
    The only problem arose in New York , where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy
    And passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.
    Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.
    小题1:What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?
    A．To invite authors to guide readers.
    B．To encourage people to read and share.
    C．To involve people in community service.
    D．To promote the friendship between cities.
    小题2:Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?
    A．They had little interest in reading.
    B．They were too busy to read a book.
    C．They came from many different backgrounds
    D．T hey lacked support from the local government
    小题3:According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?
    A．In large communities with little sense of unity
    B．In large cities where libraries are far from home
    C．In medium-sized cities with a diverse population
    D．In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached
    小题4: The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean     
    A．exchanged ideas with each other
    B．discussed the meaning of a word
    C．gained life experience
    D．used the same language
    小题5: According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by________
    A．the careful selection of a proper book
    B．the growing popularity of the writers
    C．the number of people who benefit from reading.
    D．the number of books that each person reads.

    The greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women, during the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances （家用电器）and convenience foods.
    This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each them.
    小题1: According to the passage, around the year1990 most women married       .

    小题2:We are told that in an average family about1990        .
    A．many children died before they were five
    B．the youngest child would be fifteen
    C．seven of eight children lived to be more than five
    D．four of five children died when they were five.
    小题3: When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother       .
    A．would expect to work until she died
    B．was usually expected to take up paid employment
    C．would be healthy enough to take up paid employment.
    D．was unlikely to find a job.

    Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another. It doesn't matter where you live--in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village--the chances are that you' ll be disturbed by jet planes, radios, oil - powered engines, etc. We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they' re working.
    Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be a very frightening experience for a human being. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓). The noise level in some discos is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.
    One recent report about noise and concentration(专心) suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really influences their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a background noise which doesn't change too much(music, for example) may even help people to concentrate.
    小题1:According to this passage, the noise pollution         .
    A．has become the worst in the countrysideB．has become better in big cities
    C．has spread from cities to villagesD．has been controlled in modern cities
    小题2:Some people have their hearing harmed        .
    A．while listening to pop musicB．in complete silence
    C．when speaking loudlyD．while watching TV
    小题3:Scientists have discovered that what prevents people from concentrating on something is        .
    A．all kinds of noiseB．changes in the level of noise
    C．background noiseD．popular music

    They once seemed more at home on the busy streets of Asia like Delhi, Calcutta and Bangkok but cycle powered rickshaws (人力车) can now be seen taking people across town in many European cities. Many people believe that rickshaws are a good way of experiencing a city close-up, while also cutting down on traffic jams and pollution. In Berlin, one of the first cities to introduce this new model of transport, more than 200 bike-taxis go along at 15km per hour, past many tourist attractions and city parks.
    “It is completely environmentally friendly; we have new models with an engine to help the driver up the hills but they use renewable energy.” said a spokesman for VELOTAXI, the leading rickshaw company which has carried a quarter of a million people this year.
    While the city still has 7,000 motor-taxis, rickshaw company officials say their taxis’ green ideas, speed and safety make them more than just a tourist attraction. While now increasingly out of fashion in Delhi, Berlin people have eagerly accepted the new fleet since their launch in 1997.
    “It’s better than a taxi, better than a bus, better than the train,” said ULF Lehman, 36, as he leapt out of a rickshaw near the world famous Brandenburg gate. “ It feels so free.”
    “This is something out of the ordinary, you feel you are on holiday in Bangkok instead of Berlin,” said another traveler.
    In Amsterdam, driver Peter Jancso said people like to be driven around in his bright yellow rickshaw and pretend to be a queen in a golden carriage. "I like my passengers to feel important," he said as he dropped off another passenger. Another visitor noted how cheap it was compared with a normal taxi.
    Although increasingly popular in Europe, it is the opposite in India, where hand-pulled rickshaws are considered inhuman and a symbol of India's backward past.
    Nearly 500 bike-rickshaws are running in London and are not required to pay the city's road tax but things may change as other taxi drivers complain of unfair treatment.
    小题1:Where are rickshaws becoming more popular?
    A．Delhi, Berlin, Paris.B．Amsterdam, Bangkok, Delhi.
    C．Athens, London, Berlin.D．Berlin, Amsterdam, London.
    小题2:Why are rickshaws no longer as widely used in India as in the past?
    A．They are a reminder of a bad period in India's history.
    B．They have been banned because they are inefficient.
    C．The streets of India are too crowded for them to move through easily.
    D．Indians now prefer to travel by car because they are richer.
    小题3:What does the underlined sentence "This is something out of the ordinary, you feel you are on holiday in
    Bangkok instead of Berlin" suggest?
    A．The passenger didn't like taking a rickshaw as it reminded him of Bangkok.
    B．The passenger enjoyed being on holiday in Berlin more than in Bangkok.
    C．The passenger was impressed when taking a rickshaw and considered it unusual.
    D．The passenger disapproved of rickshaws because they were not original to Berlin.
    小题4:What is the author's attitude towards rickshaws?
    A．He gives no personal opinion.
    B．He believes they will be of no use.
    C．He thinks they will reduce pollution.
    D．He thinks they are old-fashioned.

    For children with cancer(癌),the facts of life include the facts of death.
    There is always the fear that they might not live to grow up．Yet they realize that fighting cancer is the only way of beating it. So they fight．And sometimes, they win.It may take years．It certainly takes support from  parents and doctors.
    Unfortunately, many parents can't deal with their child's illness．And doctors, no matter how caring, have other patients to care for. At times like these, the Children's Cancer Foundation can help. We are a group of Hong Kong doctors, nurses, psychologists, parents of children with cancer and concerned persons (有关人士).All of us are volunteers (offer one's help  without payment).We're with the children every day, listening to, and encouraging them.
    We also advise parents, educate the public and send doctors overseas to study new cancer treatments. Our funding (providing money) has brought better equipment to the wards (large rooms of a hospital), and paid for special flats  where the children can recover.
    We want to do even more．But to do it, we need your help. It will be money well spent．One who looks at our past achievements should prove that．
    To the children, your contribution （贡献）will also be a show of support.A sign that you're behind them is just the sort of news that a six-year-old chlid with cancer needs to hear.

    The law says women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them. The reality is very different. Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act, many of them still get paid less than men. They lose because they do lower－paid jobs which men just won’t consider. And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children. All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Government’s women’s unit. The biggest problem isn’t equal pay in workplaces such as factories. It is the sort of work women do.
    Make a list of low－paid－jobs,  then consider who does them. Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies and child－care helpers. Not a lot of men among that group, are there? Yet some of those jobs are really important. Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start. So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answer—because they are women. This is not going to be put right overnight. But the government, which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start.
    It is disgraceful（可耻的） that we have gone into the 21st century still treating women like second－class citizens. 
    小题1:
    Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and getting the same pay as men_________.
    A．after 25 years
    B．according to the law
    C．as a result of those important jobs
    D．because women are as strong as men
    小题2:
    ．We can learn from the text that what really matters in this problem is_________.
    A．that women interrupt a career to have children
    B．what sort of work women do
    C．because they are women
    D．what unfair pay women get in workplaces
    小题3:
    ．Which of the following best describe the writer’s idea?
    A．Women and men should get equal pay for equal work.
    B．Women should strengthen themselves.
    C．The government ought to protect women against getting paid less than men.
    D．Some of the jobs that women do are of great importance.
    小题4:
    Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
    A．Work to give women a fair pay dealB．The equal pay act
    C．The sort of work women doD．The biggest problem about women

    It is true that shyness can be a disadvantage socially for those who suffer from it seriously. I mean real shyness, not somebody who is simply quiet. Quiet people could be shy, but on the other hand, they may just be observing because they are unsure of you or others in your company. They may be capable of being extrovert (性格外向的) and sociable, but on some particular occasions, they are quiet.
    I have learnt from my experience that those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position of strength. This means that even a very shy person, the type who is reluctant to talk in company (在交际场合) , especially new company, can become a strong person in just about anything they choose. Remember, knowledge is power, and a shy introvert (性格内向的人) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an extrovert. Introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good listeners they can take in an enormous amount from others. Over time, people can come to respect them far more than the extrovert who speaks a lot. Usually about themselves.
    What does it take , then for a very shy person to be that successful person they have always wanted to be ? They may only need one more thing to push themselves on their way. They need to dare themselves to take the leap; and when they do , they will probably find all the knowledge they have gained over the years will help them on their way to the top in their chosen field.
    小题1:
    What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us?
    A．A person who is quiet may not be shy.
    B．A shy person may not be a calm one.
    C．Quiet people are usually doubtful.
    D．Shyness is sometimes a bad feature.
    小题2:
    The underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 2 probably means ______.
    A．lazyB．carefulC．eagerD．unwilling
    小题3:
    According to the author, introverted people can be successful because they usually ___________.
    A．have a strong willB．talk less and show off less
    C．learn more than extrovertsD．have a good attitude to learning
    小题4:
    It can be learned from the last paragraph that “one more thing” probably refers to __________.
    A．energyB．courageC．quietnessD．knowledge

    The private automobile（私家车）has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.
    For farm families the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools.

However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can't keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws. Mothers of victims（受害者）of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD（Mothers Against Drunk Driving. These women want to prevent further tragedies（悲剧）. They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age, Students have formed a similar organization, SADD（Students Against Drunk Driving）and are spreading the same message among their friends.
    For many Americans the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to Americans.
