It is the financial center of the exerting a significant influence upon the world’s economy. Hetty Green, who was born in 1835, was nicknamed the Wizard (奇才)of Wall Street. She became almost a legendary figure in Wall Street, because she made a lot of money buying and selling shares in companies.Hetty Green began making money when her father died and she inherited all his money. By investing it wisely, she soon built up her fortune to over 100 million dollars. However, she hated spending money on herself or on her family. Actually, she hated spending money on everything except buying shares. She was so mean that when her son Edward broke his leg, she would notsend for a doctor. She did not want to have to pay a doctor’s bill. She refused to send her son to a good hospital. Instead, she took the boy to a free charity hospital. There he did not get very good treatment and, to save his life, he had to have his leg cut off. Still his mother would not pay for proper hospital treatment. She sent for a doctor who cut off the boy’s leg in her sitting room. It’s incredible, isn’t it?31. Wall Street is _______.A. the name of Chinatown in New YorkB. the nickname of New YorkC. the financial center of AmericaD. the tourist center of Hetty Green was nicknamed the Wizard of Wall Street because she _______.A. made a great fortune with sharesB. inherited a large sum of money from her fatherC. built up a large company on sharesD. was very strange and cruel33.

The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence. The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear t hat “canals” —perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars —are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed.Another fragmented idea concerns the planet’s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere.By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite(陨石), consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 . These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.36. Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?A. Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B. Because the lines were drawn across the surface of theplanet.C. Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D. Because it was the Martians that built the canals.37. The “canals” on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A. the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB. natural valleys on the surface of MarsC. rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD. a system that irrigates the whole surface38. What were the Mars’ seasonal changes in color believed to be?A. The natural changes on the planet.B. The seasonal cycles.C. The movement of some life form.D. The storm of dust in its atmosphere.39. How is the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars?A. The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B. A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C. The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D. The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.40. How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of life on Mars?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.Passage 3Have you ever wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts, but birds cannot easily catch locusts because locusts change their colors together with the change of the color of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the color much like the barks of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.41. This passage mainly talks about ______.A. the change of color in locustsB. the protective coloration of animals and pestsC. how a certain sea fish protects itselfD. animals or pests can dye themselves different colors42. Locusts are not easily wiped out by their enemies because ______.A. they are powerful enoughB. they are dangerous to their enemiesC. they take on the same colors as cropsD. they fly extraordinarily fast43. The pests that have different colors from plants usually appear at night because ______.A. birds take their rest when night comesB. their enemies can easily find them and eat themC. they have the habit of coming out in darknessD. it’s easy for them to destroy plants in darkness44. Bears and wolves have the same colors as barks of trees because ______.A. they fear other beastsB. they prefer brown or grey colorsC. they enjoy walking through forests quietlyD. the colors help prevent themselves from being noticed45. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of years because ______.A. it is the most powerful in the seaB. it can swim much faster than any other fishC. it can send out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find itD. it can send out a kind of liquid which can kill its enemiesPassage 4High school dropouts(辍学者)earn an average of $ 9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit. It’s much more basic than flunking out(不及格).Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can’t cut it. They are lazy,and perhaps not two bright.So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kidswho quit school about why they left.“The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could havegraduated from h igh school.” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic(美籍西班牙的)student will receive a diploma,and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So,if failing grades don’t explain why these kids quit, what does? Again,John Bridgeland: “The most dependable finding was that they were bored.”“They found classes uninteresting; they weren’t inspired or motivated. They didn’t see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their career aspirations.”The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US,only one state,New Mexico,has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate. Only four states: California, Tennessee, T exas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions, another researcher,says raising the compulsory attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school.“As these dropouts look back,they realize they’ve made a mistake. And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, is probably helpful measure.”New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18. But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses thepoint-the need for reform. It's been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.46. Most high school students drop out of school because__.A. they have failing gradesB. they take no interest in classesC. they are discriminated againstD. they are lazy and not intelligent47. According to the passage,which state has a law requiring school attendance until they graduate?A. New HampshireB. UtahC. New MexicoD. The District of Columbia48. The underlined words “stick it out” probably means “__”.A. complete schoolingB. solve the problemC. love having classesD. believe in themselves49. In the last paragraph, the writer is trying to_________.A. analyze the reason why students quit schoolB. suggest raising the compulsory attendance ageC. raise awareness of reforming high school educationD. wish to make laws to guarantee no education50. From the passage,we can infer the following EXCEPT that_.A. the grades of most dropouts at school were acceptableB. on average dropouts cannot get good jobsC. classes don't appeal to dropoutsD. about 500, 000 high school dropouts are black and SpanishPassage 5People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1993,the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion(侵蚀)of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people,forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases,this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast,shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue,they say,until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile,if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future,apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it mayturn out to be a knockdown home.51. What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?A. The rising of the sea level.B. The experts’ lack of knowledge.C. The washing-away of limestone cliffs.D. The disappearance of hotels,houses and gardens.52. The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England .A. will soon become a problem for people living in central EnglandB. has now become a threat to the local residentsC. can be stopped if proper measures are takenD. is quickly changing the map of England53. The experts’ study on the problem of erosion can .A. warn people whose homes are in dangerB. provide an effective way to slow it downC. help to prevent it from worseningD. lead to its eventual solution54. It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because ________.A. house agents along the coast do not support the ideaB. it is too costly and will endanger neighboring areasC. the government is too slow in taking actionD. they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents55. According to the author,when buying a house along the south coast of England,people should ________________.A. take the quality of the house into considerationB. guard against being cheated by the house agentC. examine the house carefully before making a decisionD. be aware of the potential danger involvedPassage 6Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.56. Normally a student would at least attend ________ classes each week.A. 36B. 20C. 12D. 1557. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ________.A. to live in a different universityB. to get two degrees from two different universitiesC. to live at home and drive to classesD. to take a particular course in a different university58. American university students are usually under pressure of work because ________.A. their academic performance will affect their future careersB. they are heavily involved in student affairsC. they have to observe university disciplineD. they want to run for positions of authority59. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because ________.A. they hate the constant pressure strain of their studyB. they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC. such positions help them get better jobsD. such positions are usually well paid60. The student organizations seem, to be effective in ________.A. dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB. ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC. eval uating students’ performance by bringing them before a courtD. keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesIII.

)Practice Text I(Units 1-4)Passage oneQuestion 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.When I was 15, I announced to my English class that I was going to write.The whole class nearly fell out of their chairs laughing."Don't be silly.Only geniuses can become writers,"One classmate said to me.I was so humiliated I burst into tears.That night I wrote a sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to a local newspaper. To my astonishment they published it, and sent me two dollars. I showed the poem to my follow students.Again they laughed."Just plain dumb luck,"they said.I'd tasted success. That was more than any of them had done, and if it was "just dumb luck," that was fine with me.During the next two years I sold dozens of poems, letters, jokes,etc. By the time I graduated from high school, I had published quite a lot,but I never mentioned my writing to my friends again. They were dream killers.But sometimes you do find a friend who supports your dreams."It's easy to write a book," that new friend told me. "You can doit."I had four children at the time, and the oldest was only four. We lived on a goat farm in Oklahoma, miles from anyone. All I had to do each day was take care of four kids, milk goats, and do the cooking, laundry and gardening.While the children napped, I typed on my ancient typewriter. I wrote what I felt. It took nine months, just like a baby.I chose a publisher at random and put the manuscript in an empty diaper box, the only box I could find,The letter I enclosed read: "I wrote this book myself, I hope you like it."A month later I received a contract and a request to start working on another book.Crying Wind became a bestseller, I appeared on TV talk shows.I traveled from New York to California and Canada on promotional tours. My first book also became required reading in schools in Canada.People ask what college I attended, what degrees I have, and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is none. I just write. I'm not a genius, and I'm not gifted.⼗五岁的时候,我对班上同学宣布说准备写书。

Some students like to spend their leisure time pursuing their hobbies indoors. Others look for outdoor relaxation, even taking part in such adventurous activities as rock climbing or bungee jumping.Generally speaking, male students are fond of participating in sports, playing computer games, surfing on the Internet, and watching kung-fu movies, while female students lovechit-chatting, shopping, watching soap opera, and knitting (编织). If they can afford it, some students will go to pop stars’ concerts, take picnic, or invite some f riends over for a dinner or a party.All these activities are entertaining and appealing to students because of their curiosities and their desires to escape from the limited world of the classroom. As a form of relaxation,leisure activities take their mind away from academic pressure. As an English proverb goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” After recreational activities, students usually will feel relaxed, more refreshed, and ready to start stressful school work.1.高校毕业生,尤其是女生,就业压力大;2.用人单位在招聘时以各种原因歧视女生;3.你对在就业中“男女不平等”的看法。

My husband is in the hospital with cancer and has been seriously ill for a month. He was always 1. slender, but he has lost a lot of weight. I find myself 2. astonished that I hardly recognize him. Now, his yellow skin hangs 3. loosely on his skeleton, as he lies there unaware・ A machine next to the bed records his slow 4. pulse . I have sat here waiting for some 5. hint of life—a finger moveme nt, any thing—but there is n ever any cha nge. Time seems to stand still and I feel my own pulse 6. quicken and hear my own breathing. Doctors and nurses come in and out at7.intervals and look at his charts. Our eyes meet and somehow, together, we become 8. aware that this is a special moment for us. I know that he would want me to be bold and show strength as he always had. He is the man who 9. volun teered at coun tless comm unity associations while he himself was ill. He is a man with 10. responsibility who never needed a calendar to remember a friend or relative's birthday or our anniversary. It is my duty to show how proud I am to have been a part of this great man's life.Is teachi ng importa nt? Well, of course it is. There was a time whe n all n ecessary kno wledge could be taught to the young by family members・ But as societies became more complex and division of labor more comm on, it was impossible for family members to teach the informatio n and skills young people needed to become useful members of the society. As the need for specialists appeared, the job of teachi ng came into being in our country, and teachi ng as a job has bee n of in creasing importa nee over the past one hun dred years. Today, we have strict rules for teachers. We hope all childre n can go to school. Many things tell us that teachi ng is in deed an ” important” job. In rece nt years, there has bee n an in creasing n eed for teachers to be H resp on sible11. This means that the public expects teachers to succeed in teachi ng importa nt in formatio n to the young. Teachers1 2 3 4 5 salaries today, while not much, certainly are much higher than they were in the past. These in creases have come about because people have realized that quality people, in dividuals who are highly able to teach, will not do it if they are not offered eno ugh money. Today almost no one says that "anybody will do" for a teacher. The public expects H quality people'1 to teach the young, and progress is being made to give salaries that will make people who have abilities become teachersC.the numbers of students who are entering schoolD.the numbers of people who take the job of teacher4.We learn from this passage that _C _______ .1 In the authors opinion, the job of a teacher _____ D _____.A.is done best by family membersB.is too complex for most peopleC.is free of rules .D.is important for society2 The cause for the new job of ''teacher11 was ______ B__ ・A.the increased importance of laborB.the need for specialistsC.the strict rules of the go ver nme ntD.the in creased nu mber of childre n in school3 According to the writer, ___ A ____ is on the in crease no wadays.A.a need for teachers to have responsibility for themselvesB.a need for teachers to teach responsibility to studentsA.money encourages teachers to be responsibleB.money is not a responsible reason to become a teacherC.money is a good way to attract people to become teachersD.money was much higher for teachers in the past5.What do people hardly ever say these days? AA.Anyone can be a teacher.B.Progress is being made.C.Teachers have abilities・D.Quality people are teachi ng the you ngFor most people learning to drive, the driving test arises ahead as a major barrier. It is also a gen era I source of conversati on whe never drivers are gathered together. There are probably more tall stories about the driving test than about any other motoring subjects; the most remarkable thing about those stories is the number of times the old ones appear again, years after they were first heard, in new and exaggerated forms. All driving examiners have had to pass a very strict selection process, followed by at least six weeks' training. In the course of this training the Department makes sure that their driving is of a consistently high standard・ Driving test cen ters are chosen with equal care .It would be nice to have centers and exami ners town by tow n. But this is just not possible, because the centers have to be at places where there is enough parki ng space for can didates (考牛)and where there are eno ugh test routes ・ Routes are carefully chosen to make sure that they are all roughly comparable-the proportion of right and left turns, hills, pedestrian (彳亍人)crossings and so on. The object of all this is to make sure, as far as possible, that all can didates in the drivi ng test have to cope with the same sort of conditi ons whether they take the test in New York or California. The work that examiners do in actually carrying out tests is checked continuously by supervising examiners. This is to make as sure as possible that every can didate for the drivi ng test has a proper and equal cha nee of showi ng the examiner; in the words of the Regulations, "that he is competent to drive without danger to and with due consideration for other users of the road.11 This is all that the examiner is concerned with. 6 7 8A.some examiners can go to occasional centers from the permanent centersB.routes and conditions have to be the same everywhereC.there has to be enough parking space for the candidates and the examinersD.not every tow n could provide eno ugh test routes close to perma nent centers9.We can judge from this passage that _____ D ___ .A.the detailed records are checked after each test by a supervising examiner6 It can be learned from the passage that ____ A ____ .A.whenever people learning to drive get together, they often talk about the driving testB.new and exaggerated stories about the test are always appearingC.there are more tall stories about the driving test than any other subjectD.the same stories about the test reappear years later7 According to the passage, driving examiners ____ C ____ .A.are trained for six weeks, then have a difficult selection interviewB.are given regular driving tests themselves by supervising examinersC.sometimes have more than six weeks1 train!ngD.are tested during the selection process to see if their driving is of a high standard8 There isn't a test center in every town because _____ D ____ .B.sometimes can didates are tested by a supervisi ng exami nerC・ it's true that some exami ners n ever pass any one on Thursday after noonsD. exami ners are only con cer ned with a can didate's ability to drive10.It can be inferred from this passage that ____ A ____ .A.test routes have roughly the same conditions everywhereB.candidate drivers pass the testC・ all can didates are treated equally by the exami ners duri ng the testD. some test cen ters do not have eno ugh parking spaceYou must face the fact that in your in most heart you hate the thought of movi ng. It is easiest not to leave the rooms where your children passed through their wonderful childhood and annoying tee ns to a frie ndly but slightly dista nt maturity. Until, sudde nly one day, the di st a nee is absolute and they are grown up and gone. Then you find yourself living in too large a house, which consumes in its maintenance too much energy and money・When we found ourselves in this situation a few years ago, we determined to move while we still had the st re ngth and before the emotional ties that the old house had wrapped around us became too powerful to be broken. Move while you can! But be sure you really want to, and do not move too often. It is an exhausting process. Your first task is to find a house that will suit you. It must be smaller, quieter, easier to run, and more conveniently placed for transport< Not so small, though, that it will not have room for your largest pieces of furniture, and located not too far from the neighborhood where so many friendships have been built up. At last we found one: a late Victorian cottage, in a street where the houses, all small, range from late 18th to mid 20th cen tury. It was n ear eno ugh to where we wan ted to live .It had no baseme nt (底下层)'which was a great convenience for aging legs; there were only two floors: one for ourselves and one where friends, children, and grandchildren could spread themselves when they came to stay・ Each floor had two rooms. There wasa kitchen on the ground floor, with the bathroom above it.1.The passage concerns _D ______ .A.buying a house for a newly married coupleB.buying a large house for a growing familyC.buying a better house when people have more money to spendD.buying a smaller house for older people whose children have left home2.The passage implies that grown-up children are ____ C ____ .A.more friendly to their parents when they are grown upB.distant from their parentsC.friendly but not very closeD.annoying3.The author decided to move A .A.when his house gave him too much work and cost too much to runB.when he grew tired of his houseC.when he suddenly got the strength to do soD.before the house collapsed4.The author advises people in his own situation ____ B _____ •A.to move into a very small houseB.to move somewhere where the largest possible pieces of furniture will fitC・ not to move too far from the main roadD. to choose somewhere not so noisy5・ According to the passage, the new house had ___ A _____ .A.two floorsB.three floorsC.four floorsD.two bathroomsEquipment operator Dick Kemp is the proud owner of over 90 old trucks・ Some of his vehicles date back as far as 1916, just twenty years after the first motorized truck was ever built and a time when there were only 160,000 trucks in the United States-compared with the 36,000,000 trucks that roar along the nation's highways nowadays・ One of Kemp's most unusual trucks is a 1916 Selden with wooden spikes which was once used as a street sprinkler. Kemp began his collection in 1952 with a 1930 Bulldog Mack which he bought for only $50. This same vehicle was valued in the year 2006 at nearly a thousand times that price. Every year thousands of visitors come from all over the U.S. and Canada to see Kemp's collection, which is exhibited in a large garage and in a yard next-door. The Mack Truck Museum is open for public viewing and there is no charge・ There is even a model truck playground for children to play in while their parents look at the real things. Kemp does his own restoration work, making all the trucks look shiny and run smoothly. Many truck parts he has to make for himself because manufacturers have discontinued production Iong, Iong ago. He has received countless offers to sell his trucks, but his answer is always the same: "Nothing for Sale9 10 11 12 13 14.D.In a museum next to his home.9._ B_____ m ight be appropriate for children.A.The Mack Truck MuseumB.Kemp's truck playgroundC・ Restoration workD.

Is it a new medium equivale nt to film and music, a valuable educati onal tool, a form of harmless fun or somethi ng terrible that makes childre n violent and stupid? Video garni ng is all these things, depending on whom you ask. Amid all the arguments, however, three important factors are gen erally overlooked: that attitudes to gaming are marked by a gen erational divide; that there is no convincing evidenee that games make people violent; and that games have great potential in educati on.Attitudes towards gamingAttitudes towards garni ng depe nd to a great exte nt on age. In America, for example, half of the population plays computer or video games・ However most players are under 40—according to Nielse n, a market-research firm, 76% of them—while most critics of garni ng are over 40. An en tire gen erati on that bega n garni ng as childre n has kept playi ng. The average age of American gamers is 30. Most are "computer natives" who grew up with tech no logy, argues Marc Pre nsky of Games2train, a firm that promotes the educational use of games. He describes older people as ""computer immigra nts" who, like newcomers any where, have had to adapt in various ways to their new tech no logical world .Just getti ng by in a foreign land without some grasp of the local Ianguage is difficult, says Mr. Prensky. Computer immigrants have had to learn to use tech no logies such as the In ter net and mobile pho nes. But relatively few of them have embraced video games ・ The word ” game" itself also conf uses matters, since it makes them seem like playthings. "What they don't understand, because they've never played them, isthat these are complex games, which take 30, 40 or 100 hours tocomplete/' says Mr. Prensky. Games are, in fact, played mainly by young adults・ Only a third of gamers are under 18. "It's just a generational divide,H says Gerhard Fiorin, the European boss of Electronic Arts, the world's biggest games publisher. "People do not know what they are talking about, because they have never played a game・ And yet, they say that millions of gamers are stupid or violent ・" Computer natives who have played video games since childhood already regard them as a form of en tertai nment equivale nt to films and music. Older computer n atives now have children of their own and enjoy playing video games with them. The gaming industry is trying to address the generational divide・It is producing games designed to appeal to people who have never played games and en couraging gamers (who may occasi on ally play simple web-based games, or games on mobile phones)to play more. This has led to the development of games with a wider appeal. Some of them replace the usual con trol pad with no vel in put devices: microphones (麦克风)for singing games, cameras for dancing and action games, and even musical instruments. In addition, the industry has started to attract more women, who seem to prefer social simulation (模拟)games such as H The Sims'1, and older people, who (if they play games at all) often prefer versions of card games and board games. Other promising areas in elude portable (便携式的)gaming, mobile gaming and on line down loads of simple games. Many people enjoy garni ng, but do not n ecessarily want to commit themselves to a long quest that will take doze ns of hours to complete.May garni ng make people viole nt?But are n't critics right to worry that garni ng might make people viole nt? In his paper, Mr. Williams describes his study carried out with Marko Skoric of the University of Michigan. The study concentrated on a "massively multiplayer (多人参与的)online role-playing game11 (MMORPG) called "Asheron Call 2". This type of game requires the player to wander around a fantasy world and kill monsters to build up attribute points. It is ,,virtually more violent than the average video game and should have more effect, given the highly repetitive nature of the viole nee 蔦the researchers no ted ・ Two groups of subjects were recruited, none of whom had played MMORPGs before and many of whom had never played video games at all. One group the n played the game for a mon th, for an average of n early two hours per day ・ The other group acted as a control. All people who participated were asked questions about how often they had aggressive social interactions (such as arguments with their spouses) during the course of the month to test the idea that gaming makes people more aggressive. Game players, it turned out, were no more aggressive than the control group. Whether the test subjects had played games before, the number of hours spe nt garni ng, and whether they liked viole nt movies or not, made no difference ・ The researchers no ted, however, that more research is still needed to assess the impact of other types of games. All games are different, and only when more detailed studies have been carried out will it be possible to say anything about the impact of gaming・Games have great potential in education.What's more, plenty of games, far from encouraging violeng are morally complex, subtle and, very possibly, improving・ Many now explicitly require players to choose whether to be good or evil, and their choices determine how the game they are playing develops・Several games based on the “Star Wars1' movies require players to choose between the light and dark sides of the Force, equivale nt to good and evil. Eve n games with no educational purpose require players to learn a great deal. Games are complex and force players to make a huge number of decisions. Gamers must con struct ideas about the in-game world, lear n its rules through trial and error (错误),solve problems and puzzles, develop strategies and get help from other players through the In ternet whe n they get stuck ・ Games can be used in many other ways ・ Tim Ryla nds, a British teacher in a primary school n ear Bristol, recently won an award from Becta, a go ver nment education agency, for using computer games in the classroom ・ By projecting the fantasy world of ,,Myst,,/ a role-playing game, on to a large screen and encouraging his 11-year-old pupils to write descriptions and reactions as he plays it, he has achieved striking improvements in their English test scores ・ So games are in here ntly good, not bad? Actually they are n either, like books, films, the Inter net, or any other medium ・ All can be used to depict sex and viole nee, or to educate and in form ・ In deed, that there is violence and sex in games is arguably a sign of the maturity of the medium, as games become more like films.:L Video games are valuable or stupid depending on _______ B _________ .A.what is overlookedB.whom is askedC.whether they are violentD.whether they are educational2.No evidenee exists to show that video games ________ B _________ .A・ are overlookedB・ make people violentC・ have great potentialD. are violent3."Computer immigrants11 are older people who have had to _____ C___________ .A・ get by in a foreign landB. play complex gamesC・ adjust to the new tech no logyD. grow up with tech no logy4.What do we learn about "computer natives1'? _____ B ___________A.They enjoy playing video games with children.B.They have played games since childhood・C.They are producing games which are violent and stupid.D.They like films and music as entertainment.5.What is said about the garni ng industry? _____ D __________A.It has started to attract more young adults.B.It is trying to persuade older people to play singing games・C・ It is produci ng games that will take doze ns of hours to complete ・D.

She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well.

As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales(称). Maria pul led and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn’t lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage.“What’s wrong with this girl” He said, “Why doesn’t she hurry up” He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in fist. He was in a hurry to get a good seat.Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, “Why are you so upset There are enough seats for everyone on the plane.

My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.When I returned to the hotel, I was exhaust ed, but I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speak English.21.

Soon after she got to Hong Kong, she went shopping along Nathan Road. Suddenly a man came up to her and said, “Hello, there, I haven’t seen you for a long time.” The stranger continued talking to her for a while and then took out a small box from his pocket. “Would you like to buy some diamonds” he asked, opening the box to show some stones. “I’m willing to sell them to you cheap — only $400 for this diamond. How abou t it” Miss Wang didn’t want to buy the diamond because she had heard many stories of people being tricked. Also, at that moment a woman stopped and warned her, “Don’t buy from him. He’s not an honest man. He’s trying to trick you!” The man raised his voice at once, “I’m honest. These diamonds are real.” In the end they took one of the diamonds to a jeweler — one who sells diamonds and the like. The jeweler examined the stone and told Miss Wang that it was real. He said it cost around $900. Satisfied that the diamonds were real, Miss Wang decided to buy them from the man. She chose two of the largest stones from his box and paid him $400. Then she went back to the jeweler and asked, “How much will it cost to fix these on a ring” The jeweler examined the stones and said, “Why do you want to do that These are just glass.” “But you told me just now they were diamonds.” “The first stone was a diamond; these are not.” Miss Wang ran out of the shop hoping to catch the stranger and get her money back. However, the man was nowhere to be found.26.

Miss Wang ran out of the jeweler’s store because she __________.A. wanted to report the matter to the policeB. wanted to buy some more diamondsC. was angry with the jewelerD. wanted to catch the stranger and get her money backPassage 4When you take a walk in any of the cities in the West, you often see a lot of people walking dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reason why people keep a dog has changed. In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks from other beasts. And later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dog would not eat what was caught without permission.But now people in cities need not protect themselves against attacks of animals. Why do they keep dogs, then Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is their child when they have no children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship.31. According to the passage, in the old days people trained dogs _______ .for protection against robberyjust for funfor companionshipfor protection against other animals32. The word “companionship” in Paragraph 2 means _______.worshiptreasurefriendly relationshippartnership33. The dogs were used for hunting because ________ .they were good huntersthey obeyed their mastersthey were useful for protectionthey did not eat other animals34. The most important reason for people to keep dogs now is that _______.they need companionthey like childrenthey enjoy huntingthey want to protect themselves35. We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________.dogs can be helpful to those who need companycity people always feel lonelydogs can be interestingthe city can be a very dangerous placePassage 5How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations-the thing they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, orthey will make our speech silly and vulgar.36. The origin of language is _______.A. a legend handed down from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or secretC. a question difficult to answerD. a problem not yet solved37. What is true about wordsA. They are used to express feelings only.B. They can not be written down.C. They are simply sounds.D. They are mysterious.38. The real power of words lies in their _______.A. propertiesB. characteristicsC. peculiarityD. representative function39. By “association”, the author means _______.A. a special qualityB. a joining of ideas in the mindC. an appearance which is puzzlingD. a strange feature40. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT trueA. He is no more than a master of words.B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.C. He can move men to tears.D. His style is always charming.Passage 6We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen” “When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend Or did he envy my luck” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the w ords. Suppose someone tells you, “you’re a lucky dog”. Is he really on your side If he says, “You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”, that’s being friendly. But “lucky dog” There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bri nging in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks Does what he says square with the tone of voice His posture (体态) The look in his eyes Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.41. From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker________.A. feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to himB. feels he may not have “read” his friends’ true feelings correctlyC. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend, HelenD. is sorry that his friends let him down42. In the second paragraph, the author uses the example of “You’r e a lucky dog” to show that________.A. the speaker of this sentence is just being friendlyB. this saying means the same as “You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”C. sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the wordsD. the word “dog” shouldn't be used to apply to people43. This passage tries to tell you how to________.A. avoid mistakes about money and friendsB. bring the “dog” bit into our conversationC. keep people friendly without trusting themD. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you44. In listening to a person, the important thing is________.A. to check his words against his manner, his tone of voice, and his postureB. to listen to how he pronounces his wordsC. to notice his tone, his posture, and the look in his eyesD. not to believe what he says45. If you followed the advice of the writer, you would________.A. not lose real friends who say things that do not please youB. avoid any mistakes while talking with people who envy youC. be able to get the real meaning of what people say to youD. be able to observe people as they are talking to youPassage 7An employer has several choices he can consider when he wants to hire a new employee. First, he may look within his own company. But if none of the present employees are suitable for the position, he will have to look outside the company. If his company has a personnel office, he can ask them to help find qualified applicants.There are other valuable sources the employer can use, such as employment agencies, professional societies and so on.

It was the one day of the week for “worship and rest”. The shops were closed and most people were at home or at church. Popular leisure activities on Sunday used to be going to church and doing odd jobs around the home such as gardening and DIY.Until a few years ago shops were not permitted to open on a Sunday. Sundays today are becoming like any other day other week with shops open. Some families will now spend their time shopping rather than going to church or they will combine the two activities.Britain is becoming a far less Christian country with fewer people regularly attending Church. Many Christians believe that Sunday should be kept special, as a time given to worshipping God.

A cup of cocoa before going to bed or a Mars bar on the bus – the British are obsessed with it. The average Briton eats 10kg of chocolate a year. Women eat far more chocolate than men, an amazing 67% of total chocolate consumption. And the most popular snack is KitKat – fifty are eaten every second in the UK.Chocoholics are people with a chocolate obsession. But are they addicts? Not according to recent research. This shows that chocolate is not as addictive as coffee – in fact,there is no proof that chocolate creates addiction at all. And it’s a lot better for you than we thought. Some scientists say that it releases the same chemicals that your body produces when you are in love. Now that can’t be a bad thing!Some more good news –it doesn’t raise your cholesterol level or give you acne, as people believe, and it can even be good for your teeth! It does, however, contain caffeine and is bad if you get headaches. So the least sensible time to eat it is at night.The British lo ve chocolate but they are not as obsessed as the Swiss. The Swiss are officially the world’ greatest chocolate eaters – but then Swiss chocolate is the best!1Women buy less chocolate than men.2There is evidence that chocolate is addictive.3Chocolate contains caffeine.4You should avoid chocolate if you suffer from migraines.5The world’s greatest chocolate eaters are the British.Key: FFTTF5.From: U8L3 P121Found Safe and SoundThe monkey who escaped from Bristol Zoo last weekend was discovered by school children yesterday.

Lucy loves new technology. She owns a games console, an MP3 player, and a mobile phone with a built-in digital camera. David is a teacher. Lucy is his student.Like Lucy, many children grow up using computers almost every day and often know more about technology than adults. Educator Marc Prensky calls children like Lucy “digital natives”. Digital natives can quickly learn how to use new gadgets and new software, while non-digital natives spend a lot of time reading manuals and worrying about computer viruses. In fact, many parents try to save time by asking their children to teach them how to use new technology!The divide between digital natives and non-digital natives can cause problems at school because students and teachers grow up with very different ideas about technology. Many teachers think that playing computer games is a waste of time and that technology has made children unable to concentrate. However, many students think their classes are slow and boring, and want to use computers to study.Prensky believes that digital natives have learned a lot from technology, but that they learn things in a different way. For example, reading a website is different from reading a book, so digital natives are good at finding the information they need and choosing what they want to read. So perhaps teachers need to change the way they teach and use more technology in class – because the number of digital natives will keep increasing!1 David is a digital native.2 Marc Prensky is interested in teaching with technology.3 Digital natives are comfortable using laptops and flash drives.4 Many teachers think computer games are only for having fun or killing time.5 People read books and websites in the same way.Key: FTTTF7.From: U10L2 P153SpanglishIn which city can you read signs like “Aparca your car aquí” or “Cuidado con los pickpockets”? Travelguide investigates.1.2 million Hispanics live in the Big Apple and one in five New Yorkers speaks Spanish at home. In the last ten years, the Hispanic population has grown by 400 000. This reflects the enormous increase in the Hispanic population in the States. There are now 42 million Hispanics resident in the USA, representing 15% of the total population.There is a new language, SPANGLISH – a strange mixture of Spanish and English – which is invading the city. The New York Times recently said that it had become the city’s third official language. Its use is colloquial and often limited to short sentences and signs. Many New Yorkers now wear socketines on their feet, drop something on the carpeta, shop for grocerias and have cornfley(“cornflakes”) for breakfast.Norma Rodríguez, a 45-year-old Cuban living in Washington Heights, says it forms a part of her life now: “Sometimes, you don’t realize that you’re mixing the two languages. You just hear them both all the time and find that you’re inventing new words.” Other people, however, are fighting against this new street language. Bu sinessman Juan Cortés sees it as a sign that the Spanish language is being destroyed. “It’s difficult, but I try not to speak it –it feels vulgar to me.”Meanwhile, a surprising number of academics have spoken in favour of Spanglish.

大学英语期末复习资料My husband is in the hospital with cancer and has been seriously ill for a month. He was always 1. slender , but he has lost a lot of weight. I find myself2. astonished that I hardly recognize him. Now, his yellow skin hangs 3.loosely on his skeleton, as he lies there unaware. A machine next to the bed records his slow 4. pulse . I have sat here waiting for some 5. hint of life—a finger movement, anything—but there is never any change. Time seems to stand still and I feel my own pulse 6. quicken and hear my own breathing. Doctors and nurses come in and out at 7. intervals and look at his charts. Our eyes meet and somehow, together, we become 8. aware that this is a special moment for us. I know that he would want me to be bold and show strength as he always had. He is the man who 9. volunteered at countless community associations while he himself was ill. He is a man with 10. responsibility who never needed a calendar to remember a friend or relative's birthday or our anniversary. It is my duty to show how proud I am to have been a part of this great man's life.Is teaching important? Well, of course it is. There was a time when all necessary knowledge could be taught to the young by family members. But as societies became more complex and division of labor more common, it was impossible for family members to teach the information and skills young people needed to become useful members of the society. As the need for specialists appeared, the job of teaching came into being in our country, and teaching as a job has been of increasing importance over the past one hundred years. Today, we have strict rules for teachers. We hope all children can go to school.Many things tell us that teaching is indeed an "important" job. In recent years, there has been an increasing need for teachers to be "responsible". This means that the public expects teachers to succeed in teaching important information to the young. Teachers' salaries today, while not much, certainly are much higher than they were in the past. These increases have come about because people have realized that quality people, individuals who are highly able to teach, will not do it if they are not offered enough money. Today almost no one says that "anybody will do" for a teacher. The public expects "quality people" to teach the young, and progress is being made to give salaries that will make people who have abilities become teachers1. In the author's opinion, the job of a teacher ___D_____.A. is done best by family membersB. is too complex for most peopleC. is free of rules .D. is important for society2. The cause for the new job of "teacher" was _____B___.A. the increased importance of laborB. the need for specialistsC. the strict rules of the governmentD. the increased number of children in school3. According to the writer, ___A_____ is on the increase nowadays.A. a need for teachers to have responsibility for themselvesB. a need for teachers to teach responsibility to studentsC. the numbers of students who are entering schoolD. the numbers of people who take the job of teacher4. We learn from this passage that __C______.A. money encourages teachers to be responsibleB. money is not a responsible reason to become a teacherC. money is a good way to attract people to become teachersD. money was much higher for teachers in the past5. What do people hardly ever say these days? AA. Anyone can be a teacher.B. Progress is being made.C. Teachers have abilities.D. Quality people are teaching the youngFor most people learning to drive, the driving test arises ahead as a major barrier. It is also a general source of conversation whenever drivers are gathered together. There are probably more tall stories about the driving test than about any other motoring subjects; the most remarkable thing about those stories is the number of times the old ones appear again, years after they were first heard, in new and exaggerated forms. All driving examiners have had to pass a very strict selection process, followed by at least six weeks' training. In the course of this training the Department makes sure that their driving is of a consistently high standard. Driving test centers are chosen with equal care. It would be nice to have centers and examiners town by town. But this is just not possible, because the centers have to be at places where there is enough parking space for candidates (考生) and where there are enough test routes. Routes are carefully chosen to make sure that they are all roughly comparable-the proportion of right and left turns, hills, pedestrian (行人) crossings and so on. The object of all this is to make sure, as far as possible, that all candidates in the driving test have to cope with the same sort of conditions whether they take the test in New York or California. The work that examiners do in actually carrying out tests is checked continuously bysupervising examiners. This is to make as sure as possible that every candidate for the driving test has a proper and equal chance of showing the examiner, in the words of the Regulations, "that he is competent to drive without danger to and with due consideration for other users of the road." This is all that the examiner is concerned with.6. It can be learned from the passage that ___A____.A. whenever people learning to drive get together, they often talk about the driving testB. new and exaggerated stories about the test are always appearingC. there are more tall stories about the driving test than any other subjectD. the same stories about the test reappear years later7. According to the passage, driving examiners ___C____.A. are trained for six weeks, then have a difficult selection interviewB. are given regular driving tests themselves by supervising examinersC. sometimes have more than six weeks' trainingD. are tested during the selection process to see if their driving is of a high standard8. There isn't a test center in every town because ___D_____.A. some examiners can go to occasional centers from the permanent centersB. routes and conditions have to be the same everywhereC. there has to be enough parking space for the candidates and the examinersD. not every town could provide enough test routes close to permanent centers9. We can judge from this passage that ____D____.A. the detailed records are checked after each test by a supervising examinerB. sometimes candidates are tested by a supervising examinerC. it's true that some examiners never pass anyone on Thursday afternoonsD. examiners are only concerned with a candidate's ability to drive10. It can be inferred from this passage that ___A_____.A. test routes have roughly the same conditions everywhereB. candidate drivers pass the testC. all candidates are treated equally by the examiners during the testD. some test centers do not have enough parking spaceYou must face the fact that in your inmost heart you hate the thought of moving. It is easiest not to leave the rooms where your children passed through their wonderful childhood and annoying teens to a friendly but slightly distant maturity. Until, suddenly one day, the distance is absolute and they are grown up and gone. Then you find yourself living in too large a house, which consumes in its maintenance too much energy and money. When we found ourselves in this situation a few years ago, we determined to move while we still had the strength and before the emotional ties that the old house had wrapped around us became too powerful to be broken. Move while you can! But be sure you really want to, and do not move too often. It is an exhausting process. Your first task is to find a house that will suit you. It must be smaller, quieter, easier to run, and more conveniently placed for transport. Not so small, though, that itwill not have room for your largest pieces of furniture, and located not too far from the neighborhood where so many friendships have been built up. At last we found one: a late Victorian cottage, in a street where the houses, all small, range from late 18th to mid 20th century. It was near enough to where we wanted to live. It had no basement (底下层), which was a great convenience for aging legs; there were only two floors: one for ourselves and one where friends, children, and grandchildren could spread themselves when they came to stay. Each floor had two rooms. There was a kitchen on the ground floor, with the bathroom above it.1. The passage concerns __D______.A. buying a house for a newly married coupleB. buying a large house for a growing familyC. buying a better house when people have more money to spendD. buying a smaller house for older people whose children have left home2. The passage implies that grown-up children are ___C____.A. more friendly to their parents when they are grown upB. distant from their parentsC. friendly but not very closeD. annoying3. The author decided to move __A______.A. when his house gave him too much work and cost too much to runB. when he grew tired of his houseC. when he suddenly got the strength to do soD. before the house collapsed4. The author advises people in his own situation ___B_____.A. to move into a very small houseB. to move somewhere where the largest possible pieces of furniture will fitC. not to move too far from the main roadD. to choose somewhere not so noisy5. According to the passage, the new house had ___A______.A. two floorsB. three floorsC. four floorsD. two bathroomsEquipment operator Dick Kemp is the proud owner of over 90 old trucks. Some of his vehicles date back as far as 1916, just twenty years after the first motorized truck was ever built and a time when there were only 160,000 trucks in the United States-compared with the 36,000,000 trucks that roar along the nation's highways nowadays. One of Kemp's most unusual trucks is a 1916 Selden with wooden spikes which was once used as a street sprinkler. Kemp began his collection in 1952 with a 1930 Bulldog Mack which he bought for only $50. This same vehicle was valued in the year 2006 at nearly a thousand times that price. Every year thousands of visitors come from all over the U.S. and Canada to see Kemp's collection, which is exhibited in a large garage and in a yard next-door. The Mack Truck Museum is open for public viewing and there is no charge. There is even a model truck playground for children to play in while their parents look at the real things. Kemp does his own restoration work, making all the trucks look shiny and run smoothly. Many truck parts he has to make for himself because manufacturers have discontinued production long, long ago. He has received countless offers to sell his trucks, but his answer is always the same: "Nothing forSale".6. The passage says that Dick Kemp's job is __B______.A. museum workerB. equipment operatorC. truck driverD. truck manufacturer7. In which year was Kemp's unusual Selden truck made? BA. 1952.B. 1916.C. 1930.D. 2006.8. Where does Kemp show his trucks? AA. In and near a garage.B. Around the US and Canada.C. On the nation's highways.D. In a museum next to his home.9. ___B_____ might be appropriate for children.A. The Mack Truck MuseumB. Kemp's truck playgroundC. Restoration workD. Kemp's collection10. What does Kemp do himself? CA. Order discontinued parts.B. Operate the museum.C. Repair the trucks.D. Sell the trucks.Video GamingAs video gaming spreads, the discussion about its social impact is intensifying. Is it a new medium equivalent to film and music, a valuable educational tool, a form of harmless fun orsomething terrible that makes children violent and stupid? Video gaming is all these things, depending on whom you ask. Amid all the arguments, however, three important factors are generally overlooked: that attitudes to gaming are marked by a generational divide; that there is no convincing evidence that games make people violent; and that games have great potential in education.Attitudes towards gamingAttitudes towards gaming depend to a great extent on age. In America, for example, half of the population plays computer or video games. However most players are under 40—according to Nielsen, a market-research firm, 76% of them—while most critics of gaming are over 40. An entire generation that began gaming as children has kept playing. The average age of American gamers is 30. Most are "computer natives" who grew up with technology, argues Marc Prensky of Games2train, a firm that promotes the educational use of games. He describes older people as "computer immigrants" who, like newcomers anywhere, have had to adapt in various ways to their new technological world. Just getting by in a foreign land without some grasp of the local language is difficult, says Mr. Prensky. Computer immigrants have had to learn to use technologies such as the Internet and mobile phones. But relatively few of them have embraced video games. The word "game" itself also confuses matters, since it makes them seem like playthings. "What they don't understand, because they've never played them, isthat these are complex games, which take 30, 40 or 100 hours tocomplete," says Mr. Prensky. Games are, in fact, playedmainly by young adults. Only a third of gamers are under 18. "It's just a generational divide," says Gerhard Florin, the European boss of Electronic Arts, the world's biggest games publisher. "People do not know what they are talking about, because they have never played a game. And yet, they say that millions of gamers are stupid or violent." Computer natives who have played video games since childhood already regard them as a form of entertainment equivalent to films and music. Older computer natives now have children of their own and enjoy playing video games with them. The gaming industry is trying to address the generational divide. It is producing games designed to appeal to people who have never played games and encouraging gamers (who may occasionally play simpleweb-based games, or games on mobile phones) to play more. This has led to the development of games with a wider appeal. Some of them replace the usual control pad with novel input devices: microphones (麦克风) for singing games, cameras for dancing and action games, and even musical instruments. In addition, the industry has started to attract more women, who seem to prefer social simulation (模拟) games such as "The Sims", and older people, who (if they play games at all) often prefer versions of card games and board games. Other promising areas include portable (便携式的) gaming, mobile gaming and online downloads of simple games. Many people enjoy gaming, but do not necessarily want to commit themselves to a long quest that will take dozens of hours to complete.May gaming make people violent?But aren't critics right to worry that gaming might make people violent? In his paper, Mr. Williams describes his study carried out with Marko Skoric of the University of Michigan. Thestudy concentrated on a "massively multiplayer (多人参与的) online role-playing game" (MMORPG) called "Asheron Call 2". This type of game requires the player to wander around a fantasy world and kill monsters to build up attribute points. It is "virtually more violent than the average video game and should have more effect, given the highly repetitive nature of the violence", the researchers noted. Two groups of subjects were recruited, none of whom had played MMORPGs before and many of whom had never played video games at all. One group then played the game for a month, for an average of nearly two hours per day. The other group acted as a control. All people who participated were asked questions about how often they had aggressive social interactions (such as arguments with their spouses) during the course of the month to test the idea that gaming makes people more aggressive. Game players, it turned out, were no more aggressive than the control group. Whether the test subjects had played games before, the number of hours spent gaming, and whether they liked violent movies or not, made no difference. The researchers noted, however, that more research is still needed to assess the impact of other types of games. All games are different, and only when more detailed studies have been carried out will it be possible to say anything about the impact of gaming.Games have great potential in education.What's more, plenty of games, far from encouraging violence, are morally complex, subtle and, very possibly, improving. Many now explicitly require players to choose whether to be good or evil, and their choices determine how the game they are playing develops. Several games based on the "Star Wars" movies require players to choose between the light and dark sides of the Force, equivalent to good and evil. Even games with no educationalpurpose require players to learn a great deal. Games are complex and force players to make a huge number of decisions. Gamers must construct ideas about the in-game world, learn its rules through trial and error (错误) , solve problems and puzzles, develop strategies and get help from other players through the Internet when they get stuck. Games can be used in many other ways. Tim Rylands, a British teacher in a primary school near Bristol, recently won an award from Becta, a government education agency, for using computer games in the classroom. By projecting the fantasy world of "Myst", a role-playing game, on to a large screen and encouraging his 11-year-old pupils to write descriptions and reactions as he plays it, he has achieved striking improvements in their English test scores. So games are inherently good, not bad? Actually they are neither, like books, films, the Internet, or any other medium. All can be used to depict sex and violence, or to educate and inform. Indeed, that there is violence and sex in games is arguably a sign of the maturity of themedium, as games become more like films.1.
