A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism（網(wǎng)癮）, 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 behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. Such behavior has seriously affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log(寫日志) on computers and spend long hours at different websites.

They become hooked（著迷） 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 school. 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 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 themselves from 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 all the world.

PART THREE READING PREHENSION （共15小題；每小題 2分，滿分30分）

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

A

With school out and hot weather in, it’s not unusual for youngsters to gather around the refrigerator or the television rather than take part in active play. Such habits may be relaxing but can wreck a healthy lifestyle, say specialists at Texas Children’s Hospital.

“For some kids, the state of feeling bored triggers（引發(fā)）eating,” says Jennifer Thomas, a doctor at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, Texas. “A child can pick up 5 to 10 pounds over the course of a summer, so it’s important to recognize the difference between boredom（無聊）and hunger.”

Because children may be adjusting（適應(yīng)）to lack of routine, adding some structure to their daily schedules can help. “For example, instead of letting kids eat while they watch television, permit eating only in the kitchen with the television turned off,” says Thomas. “This way can help determine if they are really hungry or just bored.”

If hunger causes a snack attack, nutritious snacks should be available（可得到的）and easy to reach, says Thomas. She suggests two or more servings of fruit and three or more servings of vegetables as a reasonable（合情理的）daily goal. Thomas says, “Fresh or frozen fruit is better than fruit juice. Fresh or frozen vegetables are better because canned vegetables usually contain salt.”

In general, kids should avoid snacks with high sugar content, says Thomas. “More importantly, if a sugary snack takes the place of healthier food, the child is not getting the nutrition he or she needs. High-fat food tends to make a child feel worried, while eating foods that are naturally lower in fat will make it easier for kids to feel more energetic and stay on the go.”

1.What can help to stop children from eating because of boredom?

A. Giving them a daily schedule.

B. Giving them a lot of snacks.

C. Preventing them from watching TV.

D. Making them eat a lot of fruits.

2.What kind of snacks should we give children?

A. Fruit juice.

B. Frozen fruit.

C. Canned vegetables.

D. Snacks rich in sugar.

3.Foods that are naturally lower in fat are necessary for children because _______.

A. they help children lose weight

B. they help children get necessary nutrition

C. they stop children from getting bored

D. they make children active and energetic

4.We can infer from the text that _______.

A. it’s hard to tell the difference between boredom and hunger

B. children may get bored for lack of routine in summer

C. we should limit children’s eating while they’re watching TV

D. nutritious snacks should be available at any time

5.The underlined word “wreck” in Paragraph 1 probably means“_______”.

A. improve B. change C. ruin D. include

科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆寧夏銀川第二中學(xué)高三上學(xué)期統(tǒng)練二英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Peter, a high school student, was pretty busy with school, and he was on the soccer team. High school was hard, because everyone wanted to have nice clothes, hang out, drive cars, and all these cost money. Peter’s father was the sort of guy that believed you had to earn whatever you got, so he wasn’t just about to hand over lots of money for Peter to use to have fun. So, he had to get a job.

During his freshman year summer vacation, his classmate got him a job working on a hay (干草) farm. He threw hay up into wagons as the tractor drove around fields, and then they stacked (剁起) it in the hot barn. It was a hot, low­paying job.

He once worked a few nights a week at a grocery store. He put things on the shelf. It was a lot of lifting and carrying, and his arms were strong from this and the previous job. It was dull and didn’t pay much.

He took some time off when soccer got serious, but the following summer he tried working at a lumber yard. It was hot outside, but he got a lot of exercise lifting and carrying things like boards and drywall. He also learned a lot about building supplies. It still didn’t pay well.

From there, he spent a year doing some tutoring for a friend of the family, but that was piecemeal. His first real job came the last year at school, when he fixed registers and worked on computers at a big box store. It was his favorite job yet, but it still didn’t pay well.

What Peter realized with all of these jobs was that he needed a better paying job! The only way to get that was to get trained or educated. He could go to school and get a 2­year degree in an office or technical position. His other choices were going to a 4­year college or joining the army. He wasn’t sure what he was going to do yet, but he knew he had to do something. Jobs were a lot of work, money was hard to earn, but he liked staying busy and being able to buy things. Peter wanted the most out of life, and that meant education.

1. How many jobs had Peter taken?

A. Three B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.

2.All the jobs Peter had taken had one thing in common：________.

A. They didn’t pay well

B. They were dull and tiresome

C. They needed hard labour

D. They were done during his vacation

3. ________was the most important for Peter if he wanted a good job.

A. Confidence B. Education

C. Opportunity D. Wisdom

4. We can learn from the text that________.

A. Peter knew what to do for his future

B. Peter’s father didn’t care about him

C. it was very hard for Peter to make his choices

D. Peter was determined to do whatever he liked
