A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism （醉心于网络）, 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 （强迫性的）behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessive behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.
They become hooked 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 schools. 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（虚拟的）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（孤立） themselves from the 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 the whole world.

“______”.
A. attractive

A. weboholism has the greatest effect on teenagers.

62. 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.
63. The author’s attitude towards weboholism is that of being ________.
A. optimistic
B. positive
C. acceptable

The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plagues(疫病) that flesh receives.
The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside
During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕),
In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp(奥斯维辛集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom
At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was
If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains—taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier
No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms(症状
68
A. 3
B.4
C. 5
D. 6
69. Which of the following does no
D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already had one.
70. Arctic explorers may catch colds when ________.
D. they are coming into touch again with the outside world
71. The passage mainly discusses ________.
A. the experiments on the common cold
B. the reason and the way people catch colds
C. the false idea
D. the continued spread of common colds
E
Every year more and more plants and animals disappear and they will never to be seen again．Strangely, it is the most intelligent but most thoughtless animal that is causing most of the problems - man．Nature is very carefully balanced and if this balance is disturbed, animals can disappear alarmingly fast．Every day, thousands of species of animals draw closer to extinction．There are countless numbers of species which may become extinct before they are even discovered．In many lakes the fish are dying．Fishermen are worried because every year there are fewer fish and some lakes have no fish at all．Scientists are beginning to get worried too．What is killing the fish?
The problem is acid rain．Acid rain is a kind of air pollution．It is caused by factories that burn coal, oil or gas．These factories send smoke high into the air．The wind often carries the smoke far from the factories．Some of the harmful substances in the smoke may come down with the rain hundreds of miles away．The rain in many places isn't natural and clean any more．It's full of acid chemicals．When it falls in lakes, it changes them too．The lakes become more acidic．Acid water is like vinegar or lemon juice．It hurts when it gets in your eyes．It also kills the plants and animals that usually live in lake water．That is why the fish are dying in lakes．
But dead fish may be just the beginning of the problem．Scientists are finding other effects of acid rain．In some large areas trees are dying．Not just one tree here and there, but whole forests．At first scientists couldn't understand why．There were no bugs or diseases in these trees．The weather was not dry．But now they think that the rain was the cause．Acid rain is making the earth more acidic in these areas．Some kinds of trees cannot live in the soil that is very acidic．Now scientists are also beginning to study the effects of acid rain on larger animals．For example, they believe that some deer in Poland are less healthy because of acid rain．If deer are hurt by the rain, what about people? This is the question many people are beginning to ask．No one knows the answer yet．But it is an important question for us all．
72．Scientists think acid rain ______．
A．is killing people B．helps kill bugs
C．is killing trees D．fertilizes the soil
73．What happens to thousands of species of animals every year?
A．People hunt for their meat．
B．They die out on the earth．
C．Most of them starve to death in the winter．
D．They had to migrate to other places．
74．Which of the following is true?
A．Dead fish in lakes is the only problem caused by acid rain．
B．If we don't make an attempt to stop acid rain, we may never see some animals
again．
C．Scientists are sure that acid rain is not harmful to mankind．
D．There's no reason to worry about several trees that died of some unknown
disease．
75．What is NOT mentioned in the text?
A．Coal, oil or gas form dangerous combinations after being burnt．
B．Fish are unable to live in the water containing acidic chemicals．
C．Acid rain is capable of dissolving some rocks and stones．
D．If some animals can be affected by acid rain, people may be in danger．

Of all my teachers, Mr. Moore is the one who impresses me most. Though he is 34, he looks very young for his age. And he’s one of the most popular teachers in our school.
Compared with other teachers, Mr. Moore pays more attention to his way of teaching. He tries various ways to make his classes lively and interesting. In his opinion, we should not only know “what”, but also understand “why”. So, instead of giving us answers immediately, he encourages us to think by ourselves whenever he puts forward questions. With his help, we’ve learned how to analyze and settle problems. What a wonderful world of “why” he leads us to!
He is such a learned person that we all admire him very much.。
