Weboholism（网瘾）, 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(写日志) on computers and spend long hours at different websites. They become hooked(着迷) on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and dont 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(虚拟的) friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life.

You may also know that Moby Dick is considered one of the greatest novels ever written. However, it might surprise you to find out Herman Melville was not always a highly regarded author.Melvilles first two novels, Typee and Omoo, were widely read and financially successfully. They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands. Melville became quite famous. However, upon the publication of his third book, Mardi, Melvilles popularity began to weaken. He was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure, and his writing took on a style that alienated(使疏远) the general reading public of his time.Melville published Moby Dick in October of 1851. it was an original novel, combining aspects of sociology and philosophy, which confused readers by its complex symbolism. The book sold poorly.Melvilles next book, Pierre, was almost completely disregarded by the public. Debt frustration and ill health finally forced Melville to take a low-paying job as a customs inspector. Eventually, Melville abandoned prose(散文) and began to write poetry.The Civil War is the main subject of Melvilles poetry. He and his brother made a trip to the front line, and he published a book of poems, Battle-Pieces and Aspects of War, based on this experience. Melville died in 1891 at the age of 72. at this point, his work had been completely forgotten by the public. His talent was to go unrecognized for the next thirty years. Then, in 1920s, his reputation began to improve as critics and readers rediscovered his work. Today Moby Dick is one of the best-known novels ever penned by an American author.24. What were Melvilles first two novels mainly about?A. His travel experience. B. His successful communication skills.C. Adventurous experiences in the front line.D. Adventurous voyages and foreign experiences.25. We can learn from the text that Moby Dick_.A. sold a little better than Pierre. B. was Melvilles favorite novel.C. was copied from other books. D. made Melville popular again.26. The text may be taken from_.A. a writing guide B. a literary journal.C. a science magazine. D. a critical book on literature.27. What is the text mainly about?A. The main works of Melville. B. The skills in Melvilles writing.C. The ups and downs of Melville. D. The reason for Melvilles failure.C From self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses. “The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces, ” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia PACIFIC. A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence. The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates. But the report states, “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of 20 to 40 companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states. A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “ a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the reports co-author.“Technology will continue to affect jobs but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsofts Jonathan Grudin told researchers.28. We can infer from the text that in the future_. A. people will face many difficulties B. people will take up more creative jobs C. artificial intelligence will threaten peoples lives D. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces29. According to the article, _ A. people wont necessarily lose jobs B. big companies will face fewer challenges C. small companies will win against big companies D. most people will become interested in technology30. What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future? A. Mixed. B. Worried. C. Hopeful. D. Doubtful. 31. Jonathan Grudins words in the last paragraph suggest that _. A. there will be enough jobs for people B. things will change a lot in a few years C. many people will become unemployed D. technology will totally change future jobsD Feeling tired? Under too much stress? Well, you may want to try Yoga(瑜珈). Its what more and more people have been turning to to release the trouble of modern life. Practically unheard of in the West until 50 years ago, Yoga has become one of the most popular health trends around the world, including China. If you search for Yoga on line in Chinese, lots of pages are there to see, most of which are main pages of Yoga clubs. In order to keep fit and lose weight, many girls spend more than 1000 yuan taking part in Yoga classes every month. However, are you really ready for it? There are several things you need to know before you really take it. First, do not force your body too much. Yoga has many difficult poses. They are beautiful and worth boasting if you could finish them. But if you force yourself to do as exactly as an experienced Yoga teacher does, you may hurt your body, instead of strengthening it. Do you remember you original purpose for playing Yoga? It is self -building, not competing. Second, do some research about the Yoga class that you are to register. Yoga is new in China and there are not so many certificated well-trained Yoga teachers. Some not well organized clubs just find someone learn a little Yoga and certificate them. But be aware, a non-eligible teacher might wrongly guide you and you could not benefit from the classes much except that they force you to exercise your body a bit. Considering about the large amount of money you invest in it, its worth and reasonable to make sure the teachers in the club are qualified before you join. Third, it would be better to learn something about nutrition when you practice Yoga. In the very beginning, Yoga was part of the Vedas, bible of the traditional Indian philosophy. So it could be regarded as a kind of lifestyle. When you have decided to care for your body, why not feed it properly? In fact, good clubs have their own nutritionists. Anyhow, make sure you are ready before you act. The fashion may change quickly. But what benefits is still good for us. 32The authors main purpose in writing the passage is to .Atell people how to relax themselvesBlet people know more about YogaCgive people some advice on taking part in Yoga classesDtell peoples Yoga has gained its popularity in China33The underlined word “eligible” in the fourth paragraph most probably means .AexperiencedBqualifiedChonoredDhi-technical34Which of the following is NOT the authors advice?AJoin one of the noblest Yoga clubs. BDont easily follow the fashion about Yoga.CKnow some knowledge about nutrition. DFind out a real teacher.35From the advice offered by the author, we can conclude that .AYoga has nothing to do with cultureBYoga is somehow easy to exerciseCmany people learn Yoga in order to competeDnot all the Yoga clubs have standard teachers 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。For college graduates, it is of vital importance to write application letters well. 36 It should state clearly the job you want, and should tell what you have done. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without leaving out any necessary facts.In writing a letter of application, keep in mind that the things a possible employer is most likely to want to know about are your qualifications, your achievements and your aims. 37 If the first few sentences fail to win the readers attention, the rest of the letter may not be continued at all.
