Choose the best answer.（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。）
Do you have a mobile phone Do you send text messages to your friends and family
Text messaging or “texting” is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling（肿胀）in our thumbs（拇指）and wrists（手腕）. Our thumbs are not made for pushing small buttons, over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI.
We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many patients with RSI. She said we needed to see how much time we were spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the future.
We also talked with Dr Harjeet Deepa who treats（治疗）RSI patients. He told us that the youngest patient she had treated was a five-year-old girl. She wasn’t doing well at school, so her parents took her for treatment. It was found that she had such bad RSI in her hands, she couldn’t hold a pencil.
As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can also cause the same problem. So, more and more people could find themselves with RSI.
Many university students and teenagers have RSI, as they do not know the danger of spending so much time using computers, video games and mobile phones. If we don’t do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.
53. Because ________, people have the problem RSI.
A. more people have mobile phones
B. texting is becoming very popular
C. people type too many text messages
D. our thumbs were made for pushing buttons
54 ________ were interviewed about the problem RSI in this passage.
A. The writer and a little girl B. Harriet Wilson and Harjeet Deepa
C. Three scientists D. Four doctors
55 The underlined part “at once” in the third paragraph means “________”.
A. right away B. at one time C. finally D. immediately
56 The five-year-old little girl couldn’t hold a pencil because ________.
A. she didn’t go to school B. she was too young
C. she had no thumbs at all D. she suffered a lot from RSI
57. You can probably read this passage in a ________.
A. comic strip（连环画） B. story book C. science book D. detective story
58. From the passage we know _________.
A. it is better to use a larger phone with bigger buttons when we have to type
B. it is worse to spend less time typing the text messages
C. using the computer keyboard will never cause the problem RSI
D. university students who have RSI know it’s dangerous to do too much texting

Have you heard about “Survival (生存) Holidays” “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities.
Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents. The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games, but “Survival Holidays” can change them a lot.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled(控制) by adults, but children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them. Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.

【答案】例文：
An unforgettable school activity
I learned to be self-governed through a school activity. Everyone has some unforgettable experiences. I had a very unforgettable experience when I was 13 years old. I had some training with my classmates. We went to Linyi and we needed to live in an apartment for a week. We did everything ourselves. Our parents couldn’t help us, because they didn’t stay with us. We got up very early in the morning. We had to clean ourselves quickly and had breakfast soon. And then we stood in a line. We learnt a lot of things there, such as cooking, washing and even making beds. We sang and danced together and did all kinds of activities. Every day, we had to practice more than six hours.
Now I think it was very hard for everyone but it was very good for us. Because we are looked after by our parents, but in fact we should learn how to look after ourselves.
What an unforgettable experience it is! I learned lots of things. Especially, I learned to be self-governed through the school activity._

Part 3 Reading and Writing (第三部分 阅读和写作 共34分)
VI. Reading comprehension. (24分)
Choose the best answer.（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。）
Do you have a mobile phone Do you send text messages to your friends and family
Text messaging or “texting” is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling（肿胀）in our thumbs（拇指）and wrists（手腕）. Our thumbs are not made for pushing small buttons, over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI.
We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many patients with RSI. She said we needed to see how much time we were spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the future.
We also talked with Dr Harjeet Deepa who treats（治疗）RSI patients. He told us that the youngest patient she had treated was a five-year-old girl. She wasn’t doing well at school, so her parents took her for treatment. It was found that she had such bad RSI in her hands, she couldn’t hold a pencil.
As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can also cause the same problem. So, more and more people could find themselves with RSI.
Many university students and teenagers have RSI, as they do not know the danger of spending so much time using computers, video games and mobile phones. If we don’t do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.
53. Because ________, people have the problem RSI.
A. more people have mobile phones
B. texting is becoming very popular
C. people type too many text messages
D. our thumbs were made for pushing buttons
54 ________ were interviewed about the problem RSI in this passage.
A. The writer and a little girl B. Harriet Wilson and Harjeet Deepa
C. Three scientists D. Four doctors
55 The underlined part “at once” in the third paragraph means “________”.
A. right away B. at one time C. finally D. immediately
56 The five-year-old little girl couldn’t hold a pencil because ________.
A. she didn’t go to school B. she was too young
C. she had no thumbs at all D. she suffered a lot from RSI
57. You can probably read this passage in a ________.

Have you heard about “Survival (生存) Holidays” “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities.
Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents. The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games, but “Survival Holidays” can change them a lot.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled(控制) by adults, but children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them. Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.
