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, 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?” ‎ ‎4. Why did Jason want to buy a computer? ‎ A. To play chess. B. To make friends. ‎ C. To avoid being an outsider. D. To write computer programs. ‎ ‎5. 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 ‎ ‎6. What was Jason’s relationship with his parents like when his computer broke down? ‎ A. Fine.   B. So-so. C. Terrible. D. Unknown. ‎ ‎7. 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 ‎ C Parents can cut the chances of their children getting fat simply by keeping them longer at table. Just three minutes extra at a family mealtime could help prevent child obesity（肥胖）. Research found that among poor families, the extra minutes at mealtimes made great i mprovement of a normal weight for the youth. The factors are likely to be communication and the importance of a scheduled mealtime. ‎ Dr Barbara Fiese said, “Children, whose families have a 20-minute meal over four times a week, weigh less than kids who leave the table after 15 to 17 minutes. Over time, those extra minutes per meal add up and become really powerful.” ‎ The researchers studied 200 family mealtimes, testing the effects of factors and mealtime behavior of families with children in primary school. They found that families, who said that shared mealtimes were an important part of family life and had special meaning for them, were less likely to have an obese child. Similarly, families, who talked more together and interacted more positively during the meal, were more likely to have healthy-weight children. ‎ Teaching low-income families how to make the most of family mealtimes was a wise idea. Dr Fiese said, “This is something we can target and teach.” She added, “It’s also important to recognize the increasing differences of families and their sometimes complex living arrangements that may challenge their abilities to plan ahead and arrange a single time to communicate with each other.” ‎ Families in poorer US neighborhoods faced a lot of problems, including poor access to healthy food. But even so, regular high quality family mealtimes made a difference to the children’s weight. Dr Fiese said, “Three to four extra minutes per meal made a healthy weight more likely.” ‎ ‎8. According to the passage, to have a healthy-weight child, parents should ________. ‎ A. limit the food for each meal B. shorten the mealtime ‎ C. increase their eating time D. make them eat healthy food ‎ ‎9. How much time is reasonable for one meal according to the passage? ‎ A. About 15 minutes. B. About 17 minutes. ‎ C. About 20 minutes. D. About 30 minutes. ‎ ‎10. Why does a longer mealtime make a difference to a normal weight? ‎ A. Because people can communicate more in the scheduled time. ‎ B. Because people can have time to choose what they like. ‎ C. Because people can use mealtimes to do other things. ‎ D. Because people can have a good rest as they eat meals. ‎ ‎11. What does Dr Fiese suggest to us? ‎ A. Twenty extra minutes per meal make a healthy weight. ‎ B. Parents should not communicate during mealtime. ‎ C. Four meals a day will make a difference to the children’s weight. ‎ D. It’s better to add three to four extra minutes to one meal. ‎ D I have lived in America’s countryside for nine years, first in Michigan, where I was getting my university degree; then in central Illinois; and now in Indiana, where I am a university teacher. There were a few things I enjoyed complaining（抱怨）about in my living area. I’m a vegetarian（素食者）, so there’s nowhere to go out for a nice dinner without taking a 15-mile drive. I’m black, so there’s nowhere to get my hair done without another 15-mile drive. ‎ I repeated these complaints to my parents and my friends. Sometimes it seemed like complaints were the common language in my circle. We all were dissatisfied with something. Back in Illinois, my friends complained about the train to Chicago and how it’s never on time; my friends in bigger cities complained about the expensive rent and strange smells on the subway. ‎ Complaining allows us to accept the imperfect without having to take action. We all have great ideas about what life would be like if only we had this, or did that, or lived there. Perhaps complaining helps bridge the large space between these perfect selves and reality. ‎ There’s also this: I really didn’t want to change most of the things I complained about. Complaining was helpful on those days when happiness required too much energy. But it also made me lose sight of something. I was born and grew up in Nebraska and have lived most of my life in one of the plains states. When I went to the coasts, I was surprised by how unattractive big-city living can be. ‎ Complaining may offer relief, but so does acceptance. There is no perfect place. There is no perfect life. There will always be something to complain about. By focusing on（关注）my complaints, I risked missing out on important moments of happiness. Now, I look up into the night sky and see all the stars. And I know that I have nothing to complain about. ‎ ‎12. What do we know about the author? ‎ A. She likes driving in the countryside. B. She is very picky about her hair. ‎ C. She is a well educated woman. D. She often goes out for dinner. ‎ ‎13. After complaining, the author probably_____________. ‎ A. had a deeper understanding of reality B. tried to make herself more perfect ‎ C. got sadder about her situation D. remained unchanged ‎ ‎14. What does the underlined word “something” in Paragraph 4 refer to? ‎ A. The fact that the author liked the countryside. ‎ B. The difference between small and big cities. ‎ C. The difficulty in finding happiness. ‎ D. The purpose of the author’s life. ‎ ‎15. The author writes the text mainly to_____________. ‎ A. make her complaints B. tell us to stop complaining ‎ C. compare different lifestyles D. tell us life is the same anywhere ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，选项中有两处为多余选项。）‎ If you think your vocabulary is weak, a little effort every day over six to nine months can go a long way in improving it.

As usual, my daughter helped me by pushing trolley, placing our shopping on the counter, packing it in the bag for me and using my bank card to pay as I couldn’t reach the card machine. This was just a normal trip to the shop apart from one thing that was different for us today!‎ We were about to leave when a young man in a blue shirt with brown hair stopped us. He spoke to my daughter and asked me if it was OK that he bought my daughter some sweets for ‎ being so helpful and caring. My daughter chose a bag of sweets and he went to pay, but he saw another bag of sweets he thought my daughter would like and asked me if she was allowed to have them. Needless to say, it was hard for me to hold back my tears because of the kindness he had shown us both.‎ My daughter and I thanked him but he didn’t want to be thanked. When he left the store, he said, “Please don’t thank me. If the world had a few more kind people, it would be a much better place to live. If you really want to thank me, I think you can help others who need your help.”‎ I’m still so shocked at the kindness this man has shown us. Not only did he take his time to stop and see how much my 7-year-old daughter helped me, but he also taught her a very valuable lesson: If you’re kind to others, then others will be kind in return!‎ My daughter has been helping me in so many ways since I was in my wheelchair. She is my rock and without her I’d lost. She keeps me going in the darkest of my days with her smile. She lights my entire world.‎ Paragraph 1:‎ I recalled the time after I was injured in an accident. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2:‎ My daughter said that she could become my legs from then on. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ ‎1-15 DCDCA CBCCA DCDAB 16-20 GAFBD ‎ ‎21-25 CAADB 26-30 BCDCD 31-35 BDABD 语法填空：‎ ‎1. asking 2.

It is thanks to your devotion that the situation are under control now. Words can’t fully express how grateful we are! I do believe that with your hard work, the virus is sure to be defeated. ‎ Wish you a safe and happy life.‎ Yours, ‎ Li Hua 读后续写：‎ I recalled the time after I was injured in an accident. I was injured so seriously that I was sent to the hospital in no time, where I received an operation. The operation was successful and my life was saved, but unfortunately, I lost my legs. Knowing that I had to stay in a wheelchair, I was abandoned to sadness and hopelessness. I had no idea how I could spent my rest life until my daughter appeared. She stood beside my bed, looking into my eyes firmly, and told me, “Mom, you have me.”‎ My daughter said that she could become my legs from then on. She promised that she could take me wherever I wanted to go and she could help me to do whatever I wanted to do. It was the determination in her eyes that gave me the courage and motivation to move on. It was proved that she actually looked after me so well, which moved not only me but also the persons who knew us. Despite the misfortune that I was caught in a terrible accident, I was fortunate enough to have such a lovely daughter.‎
