All his friends already had one，so his mom and dad agreed. During the first few weeks，Jason spent a lot of time in front of his computer because he had to learn how it worked. He was really interested in learning all about it and he even started writing computer programs himself.‎ One day Jason found a website where he could play chess either against the computer or against other people from all over the world. From then on，Jason seemed to have just one ‎ interest in life，his computer. Whenever his parents told him that he was spending too much time with his computer，Jason went_into_denial. He did not think that he had a problem at all.‎ Then the unthinkable happened：Jason’s computer broke down. But his parents decided not to buy him a new one. Jason said that he needed a computer for school，and he promised that he’d spend less time with it. But his parents refused to give in. Finally，Jason felt so hopeless that he took the only way out and killed himself.‎ Robert Johnson，a psychologist (心理学家) on the subject， says，“Computer addiction (沉溺) is an illness that can influence anyone of us. Nowadays，increasing numbers of people are spending more and more time working with computers. While this isn’t a problem for most users，some people，especially teenagers，often use the computer to get away from the real world. This is especially true of shy people. For them，meeting people online is a way of hiding their true selves. In cyberspace(网络空间)，they can be whoever they want to be and create their own virtual (虚拟的) world. But what happens when they can no longer enter their virtual world？”‎ ‎29. Why did Jason want to buy a computer according to Paragraph 1?‎ A．To play chess. B．To make friends.‎ C．To avoid being an outsider(外人). D．To write computer programs.‎ ‎30. By saying “Jason went into denial”，the author means________.‎ A．Jason would not listen B．Jason enjoyed himself C．Jason would turn it off D．Jason changed his mind ‎ ‎31. What was Jason’s relationship with his parents like when his computer broke down?‎ A．Fine. B．Soso. C．Terrible. D．Unknown.‎ ‎32. In Robert Johnson’s opinion，________.‎ A．it is impossible to beat computer addiction B．shy people get addicted to computers easily C．teenagers should stay away from computers D．computers are getting us into serious trouble D The famous American gorilla(大猩猩)expert Diane Fossey had a completely new way to ‎ study gorillas—she pretended to be one of them. She copied their actions and way of life—eating plants and getting down on her hands and knees to walk the way a gorilla does. It was a new relationship.‎ Diane Fossey was murdered in Rwanda(卢旺达) in 1985 and her story was made into the popular film Gorillas in the Mist(迷雾森林十八年). It was a long way from King Kong, which is about a gorilla as a monster(a frightening animal), and helped to show a new idea: the real monster is man, while the gorilla is to be admired.‎ Today there are thought to be around 48,000 lowland gorillas and maybe 400-500 mountain gorillas in the wild. From the Congo(刚果) in West Africa, to Rwanda and Uganda(乌干达) further east, they are endangered by hunting and by the cutting down of their forest homes.‎ Sometime ago, I found in my letterbox a little magazine from the World Wide Fund for Nature. It had two photos side by side. One was of a young gorilla. “This is a species of mammal(哺乳类动物), ”said the words below it. “It is being destroyed by man. We must save it for our own good. ”The other photo showed a human baby. The words also read: “This is a species of mammal, ”but then went on: “It is the most destructive(破坏性的)on earth. We must retrain it for its own good.”‎ 33. The text mainly talks about 　　　. ‎ A. Diane Fossey B. the gorillas in Rwanda C. the protection of the gorillas D. the film Gorillas in the Mist ‎34. We can learn from the text that 　　　. ‎ A. Gorillas in the Mist was based on Fossey’s experiences B. lowland gorillas live longer than mountain gorillas C. King Kong showed us that a gorilla is admirable D. Diane Fossey was murdered by a gorilla ‎35. What message can we get from the two photos in the magazine?‎ A. Gorillas are man’s close friends.‎ B. Both man and the gorilla need to be saved.‎ C. Young gorillas are as lovely as human babies.‎ D. Man should live peacefully with the gorilla.‎ 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that.　36　 But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”“Why can’t I think?”  ‎ ‎　37　Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to get help from reading. ‎ Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you.　38　 Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas. If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams! ‎ This is nothing but creativity.　39　 Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words. ‎ So guys, do give food to your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. 　40　 Go and get a book! ‎ A. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.‎ B. Why not do some reading while you are hungry?‎ C. Just like your stomach,your mind is also hungry.‎ D. Now what are you waiting for?‎ E. Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.‎ F. Reading can help you make more friends,too.‎ G. Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节　完形填空(共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读短文，从短文后各题所给的4个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ A lawyer and a woman were sitting next to each other during a long flight.
