The Internet brings us many advantages.
With the Internet，people can send and receive e-mails.On the Internet，people can skim over news.Using the Telnet，the user anywhere on the Internet can log into any other machine on which he has an account.It is possible to use the FTP program to copy files from one machine on the Internet to another.
But the Internet also brings us troubles.
Internet use seems to cause a fall in psychological(心理的) health，according to research at Carnegie Mellon University.Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less often，the two-year study showed.And it wasn’t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet，but that using the Net actually seemed to cause the bad feelings.
Researchers are puzzled over the results，which were completely opposite to what they had expected.They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television，since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.
The fact that Internet use reduces time used for family and friends may be the reason for the drop in health，researchers said.Faceless，bodiless “virtual”(虚拟的) communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversations，and the relationships formed through it may not be so deep.Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
“But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology；it’s about how it is used，” said one of the researchers.“It really points to the need for considering social factors(因素) when you design new inventions.”
1．The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A．the Internet can bring people many advantages
B．the Internet use may cause psychological problems
C．the Internet users are not satisfied with their lives
D．we shouldn’t use the Internet
2．Why are the researchers puzzled over the results?
A．Because the results were completely different from what they had thought.
B．Because the Net proved socially healthier than television.
C．Because the Internet users were all healthier.
D．Because the Internet users experienced less depression and loneliness.
3．What may be the reasons why the Internet use causes a fall in psychological health?
A．Internet use reduces time used for family and friends.
B．Virtual communication is less psychologically satisfying than actual conversations.
C．Exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
D．All of the above.
4．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?
A．Users anywhere on the Internet can log into any other machine.
B．The two-year study showed that using the Net seemed to cause the bad feelings.
C．People who are already feeling bad spend much more time on the Internet.
D．Relationships formed through the Internet are usually deep.

“Family” is of course an elastic word.But when British people say that their society is based on family life，they are thinking of “family” in its narrow，peculiarly European sense of mother，father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit.Thus，every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.For both the man and the woman，marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life.The man’s first duty will then be to his wife，and the wife’s to her husband.He will be entirely responsible for her financial support，and she for the running of the new home.Their children will be their common responsibility.Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s，nor their brothers or sisters，aunts or uncles，have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.
Readers of novels like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former time marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’s parents，that is，it was the parents’ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter，preferably a rich one，and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry their daughter.Until that time，the girl was protected and maintained in the parents’ home，and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry (嫁妆)．It is very different today.Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage.This has had two results.A girl chooses her own husband，and she gets no dowry.
1．The underlined word “elastic” in Paragraph 1 means “________”．
A．steady B．flexible
C．unchanged D．narrow
2．For an English family，the husband’s duty is________.
A．running the family while the wife is financial support
B．defending the family while the wife is running the home
C．financial support while the wife is running the home
D．dependent while the wife is independent
3．What is TRUE concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?
A．It is the best book on marriage.
B．It is a handbook of marriage.
C．It gives some idea of English social life in the past.
D．It provides a lot of information of former time’s wealthy families.
4．With regard to marriage in Britain，present-day girls differ from former time’s girls in________.
A．the right of marriage
B．more parental support
C．choosing husbands
D．social position

第三部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
A hobby can be almost anything a person likes to do in his spare time.Hobbyists raise pets，build model ships，weave baskets，watch birds，hunt animals，climb mountains，raise flowers，fish，ski，skate and swim.Hobbyists also paint pictures，attend concerts and plays，and perform on musical instruments.They collect everything from books to butterflies and from shells to stamps.
People take up hobbies because these activities offer enjoyment，friendship，knowledge，and relaxation.Sometimes they even give financial profit.Hobbies help people relax after periods of hard work，and provide a balance between work and play.
Hobbies also offer interesting activities for persons who have retired.Anyone，rich or poor，old or young，sick or well，can follow a satisfying hobby，regardless of his age，position，or income.Hobbies can help a person’s mental and physical health.Doctors have found that hobbies are valuable in helping patients recover from physical or mental illness.Hobbies give bedridden or wheel-chair patients something to do，provide interests that keep them from thinking about themselves.Many hospitals treat patients by having them take up interesting hobbies or pastimes (娱乐)．
In early times，most people were too busy making a living to have many hobbies.But some persons who had spare time did enjoy hobbies.The ancient Egyptians played games with balls made of wood，pottery.People today have more time than ever before for hobbies.
Machines have reduced the amount of time they must spend on their jobs.Hobbies provide variety for workers who do the same unchanging tasks all day long.More people are retiring than ever before，and at an earlier age.Those who have developed hobbies never need to worry about what to do with their newly-found spare time hours.
Sir William Osier，a famous Canadian doctor expressed the value of hobbies by saying，“No man is really happy or safe without a hobby.”
56．Which of the following is RIGHT?
A．Hobby is one’s regular business in his office.
B．Hobby is not one’s regular business in his spare time.
C．Hobby is a kind of business only for young people.
D．Hobby is a kind of business only for old people.
57．Who may spend more time enjoying their hobbies?
A．Persons who have little money.
B．Persons who have much money.
C．Persons who have given up their work.
D．Persons who have left school.
58．The underlined word “recover” in the third paragraph means “________”．
A．get back
B．become well
C．become calm
D．supply with a new cover
59．What’s the writer’s opinion about hobbies?
A．People all over the world have the same hobby.
B．Patients also have their hobbies.
C．Hobbies are popular among people in Egypt.
D．People should have good hobbies in their spare time.
B
Laptop computers are popular all over the world.People use them on trains and airplanes，in airports and hotels.These laptops connect people to their workplace.In the United States today，laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want.Within five years，each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop.The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake，a 110-year-old college.The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet.In addition，they will be able to use e-mails to “speak” with their teachers，their classmates and their families.However，the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs.They can work with it at home，in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology，laptop use in higher education，such as colleges and universities，is workable.As laptops become more powerful，they become more similar than desktop computer.In addition，the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet but also libraries and other resources.State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students.State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities.
At Westlake College，more than 60 percent of the staff use computers.The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons.As one Westlake teacher said，“Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window of the world.They can see everything and do everything.”
60．The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to________.
A．use for their schoolwork
B．access the Internet
C．work at home
D．connect them to libraries
61．Which of the following is TRUE about Westlake College?
A．All teachers use computers.
B．1,500 students have laptops.
C．It is an old college in America.
D．Students there can do everything.
62．“A window of the world” in the last paragraph means that students can________.
A．attend lectures on information technology
B．travel around the world
C．get information from around the world
D．have free laptop
63．What can we infer from the paragraph?
A．The program is successful.
B．The program is not workable.
C．The program is too expensive.
D．We don’t know the result yet.
C
Personal computers and Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members，but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about.I know this from personal experience.
E-mail makes it easy to work at home，which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings.My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office.This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends.Say you do something fun or see a great movie perhaps and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it.If you call each one，you may tire of telling the story.
With e-mail，you just write one note about your experience，at your convenience，and address it to all the friends you think might be interested.They can read your message when they have time，and read only as they want to.They can reply at their convenience，and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away.More than a few parents use e-mail to keep in touch，even daily touch，with their children at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch.They don’t take the place of any of the ways.
64．The purpose of this passage is to________.
A．explain how to use the Internet
B．describe the writer’s joy of keeping up with the latest technology
C．tell the value and usefulness of the Internet
D．introduce the readers to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet
65．According to the writer，e-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former helps one________.
A．reach a group of people at one time conveniently
B．keep one’s communication as personal as possible
C．pass on much more information than the later
D．get in touch with one’s friends faster than the later
66．The best title for this passage is________.
A．Computer：New Technological Advances
B．Internet：New Tool to Maintain Good Friendship
C．Computers Have Made Life Easier
D．Internet：a Convenient Tool for Communication
67．According to the passage which of the following is WRONG?
A．Now the writer spends less time at office.
B．You should read or reply your messages at regular time.
C．E-mail helps people far away from each other keep in close touch.
D．Some people spend less time with their family because of the Internet.
D
A home computer not only helps children master the old ways of learning，but also opens up possibilities that simply aren’t available in traditional education.Some software，for example，allows kids to make decisions and see the results in different situations.The World Wide Web encourages young minds to move easily from link to link，topic to topic.The best software draws children into learning by making them curious—what if I click on this picture，drag this over here，visit that website?
Knowing how to use a computer also encourages a child’s confidence.Kids figure out quickly that computers are powerful，and mastering the machine makes them feel grown-up.In turn，feeling confident on a computer often translates to academic(学术的) confidence.Researchers have found that attitudes toward writing，for example，improve when students write on a computer.
Perhaps most importantly，computers can enrich family life.Forget the idea that computer kids are separated.Children like to use the computer with adults and other kids，asking questions and comparing results.“The Internet is a unique opportunity to bring resources home，”notes Susan Haugland，PhD，Cape Girardeau，Mo.，author of Computers and Young Children：A World of Discovery.
Although the benefits of computers are real，they have disadvantages，too.Kids can lose their way，wasting hours on mindless software or violent games.Just as parents have always helped children make good choices about everything from friends to food，books to TV，now we must make sure they get the best out of computers.
68．The passage is mainly talking about________.
A．the disadvantages of children’s using computers
B．the advantages of children’s using computers
C．the development of computers
D．the fact that using computers makes children lose their way
69．Which of the following is NOT an advantage of a home computer?
A．It provides new ways of learning.
B．It encourages children’s confidence.
C．It can enrich family life.
D．Kids can play violent games on it.
70．What effects do computers have on family life?
A．They reduce the connection between family members.
B．They destroy the relationship between parents and kids.
C．They provide more opportunities of communication.
D．They make all the family members study together.

Computer Games and Our Health
Most boys in our class like playing computer games.Some of them even think computer games are part of their life.They play computer games not only on weekends but also after school.But as we all know，it is bad for their health if they spend much time in the computer room.Generally their eyesight is much worse than others.The air in the computer room is also not very clean and fresh.And they must feel tired if they play computer games for a long time.All those are harmful to their health.So please give up playing computer games.Try to spend more time on school work.Students can read books or play football instead.It is much more important for them to study hard and keep healthy.
