A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism(醉心于网络), a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.
Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive(强迫性的)behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessive behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.
They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at schools. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.
They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual(虚拟的)life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.
Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate(孤立 themselves from the society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect the whole world.

试题【A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism(醉】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
The skin which covers the tips of the fingers and thumbs is crossed by numerous ridges (隆起) arranged in different patterns. These patterns are permanent from birth and remain exactly the same throughout a person"s life, even when the skin becomes wrinkled and cracked as a result of old age. Such patterns are never passed on from parents to children, and no one in the world has the same patterns as anyone else. Even identical twins have different sets of fingerprints. As a result, fingerprints offer a most useful and foolproof way of identifying people. Any ridged part of the hand and the foot may be used as a means of identification, but finger impressions are usually preferred since they can be taken easily and quickly.
Fingerprints are classified in the ways: by general shapes and contours(轮廓), by the finger positions of the pattern-types, and by size (often measured by counting the ridges in the loops). Every set of fingerprints has different “ridge characteristics” (i. e. the print of each separate finger is different from that of all the other fingers), which belong to one of four basic groups: arches, loops, whorls and composites. All fingerprints can then be divided into 1, 024 groups. By using details in the patterns above, these 1, 024 groups can be further divided into thousands of smaller groups, thus making it possible to find a particular set of fingerprints in a few minutes.
小题1:According to this passage, the true statement about human fingerprints is that ____.
A.people"s fingerprints sometimes can be passed on from parents to children
B.people’s fingerprints are unique but identical twins may have the same fingerprints

D.people"s fingerprints will not change in all their lives
小题2:We prefer to use fingerprints to identify people because ____.
A.we can never find the same set of fingerprints among human beings
B.finger impressions can be taken easily and quickly
C.fingerprints offer a most useful and foolproof way of identifying people
D.all of the above
小题3:The word “foolproof” (Line 7, Para. 1) most probably means ____.
A.that is permanent B.that is acceptable
C.that can not go wrong D.that is not foolish
小题4:About the classification of fingerprints, which is TRUE? ____.
A.Fingerprints can be classified in three ways
B.All fingerprints can be divided into 1, 024 groups and can not be divided further
C.It is not easy to find a particular set of fingerprints in a short time
D.People can not classify the fingerprints in an effective way

The evidence for harmony(和谐) may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image (形象)of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it had ever been in the past.“We were surprised by just how positive(肯定的) today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one number of the research team.“They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds:they want a car and material goods,and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children,and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat(捣乱).”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I‘m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with me.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments(评论),“Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over. ”
小题1:What is the popular images of the teenager today?
A.They worry about school.
B.They dislike living with their parents.
C.They have to be locked in to avoid troubles.
D.They quarrel a lot with other family members.
小题2:The study shows that teenagers don’t want to __________.
A.share family responsibility
B.cause trouble in their families
C.go boating with their family
D.make family decisions
小题3:Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents ____________.
A.go to clubs more often with their children
B.are much stricter with their children
C.care less about their children’s life
D.give their children more freedom
小题4:According to the writer, teenage rebellion __________.
A.may be a false belief
B.is common nowadays
C.existed only in the 1960s
D.resulted from changes in families
小题5:What is the passage mainly about?
A.Negotiation in family.
B.Education in family.

Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day"s work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS). ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, internet phone and through private video conferences.
While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early 2010, the internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some "web surfing" in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.
Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth. Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each day, and every moment offers a new view of the Earth"s vast land mass and oceans.
小题1:What does the word "mimic" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.copyB.findC.changeD.lose
小题2:Which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS?
A.They are impatient and annoyed.B.They are worried and upset.
C.They are caring and thoughtful.D.They are excited and curious.
小题3:In the final paragraph, the author shows that astronauts ________.
A.love to see the Earth from space B.find living in space a bit boring and tiring
C.regard space life as commonD.get more pleasure in space than on the Earth
小题4:The passage mainly discusses how astronauts ________.
A.work for longer missions in spaceB.spend their free time in space
C.observe the Earth from spaceD.connect with people on the Earth

Much of the water we use comes from snow. Melting snow provides water for rivers, electric power centers and agricultural crops. In the western United States, mountain snow provides up to 75% of all surface water supplies.
Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from cold, winter weather. Fresh snow is made largely of air trapped among the snow crystals. Because the air has trouble moving, the movement of heat is greatly reduced.
Snow also is known to influence the movement of sound waves. When there is fresh snow on the ground, the surface of the snow takes in, or absorbs, sound waves. However, snow can become hard and flat as it becomes older or if there have been strong winds. Then the snow"s surface will help to send back sound waves. Under these conditions, sounds may seem clearer and travel farther.
Generally, the color of snow and ice appears white. This is because the light we see from the sun is white. Most natural materials take in some sunlight. This gives them their color. However, when light travels from air to snow, some light is sent back, or reflected. Snow crystals have many surfaces to reflect sunlight. Yet the snow does take in a little sunlight. It is this light that gives snow its white appearance.
Sometimes, snow or ice may appear to be blue. The blue light is the product of a long travel path through the snow or ice. In simple terms, think of snow or ice as a filter. A filter is designed to reject some substances, while permitting others to pass through. In the case of snow, all the light makes it through if the snow is only a centimeter thick. If it is a meter or more thick, however, blue light often can be seen.
小题1:How many functions of snow are discussed in the passage?
A.OneB.TwoC.ThreeD.Four
小题2:Why does snowfall help to protect plants from cold?
A.Because snow crystals contain heat.
B.Because snow crystals have air in them.
C.Because snow crystals are easy to blow away.
D.Because snow crystals send out heat when melting.
小题3:It can be inferred that ______.
A.hard snow is better in protecting wild animals than fresh snow
B.fresh snow is better in sending sound waves than hard snow
C.fresh snow is better in taking in sound waves than hard snow
D.hard snow provides less water than fresh snow
小题4:The color of snow and ice appears white because snow crystals________.
A.send back none of the sunlightB.send back all of the sunlight
C.take in most of the sunlightD.take in some of the sunlight
