A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over
the world.Weboholism，a twentieth century disease，affects people from different ages.They surf the Net，use emails 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.This obsessional 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
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 keep themselves apart 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.

1．The author’s attitude towards weboholism is that of being________.
A．optimisticB．disapproving
C．positive
D．acceptable
解析 作者态度题。结合第一段后半部分提到的网瘾的不良影响可知，作者对网瘾持不赞成的态度。另外，第三、四、五段的内容都是线索提示。

2．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．The influence of weboholism.
B．The advantage of weboholism.
C．The popularity of weboholism.
D．The cause of weboholism.
解析 主旨大意题。文章第一段开门见山地阐述了网瘾的危害，然后从不同方面详细阐述了它造成的不良影响，所以A项最能概括文章大义。
答案 A
3．What does the underlined word “obsessional” in the second
paragraph most probably mean?
A．Attractive. B．Professional.
C．Addictive. D．Potential.
解析 词义猜测题。第二段最后一句提到青少年和大学生可能会登录电脑，在不同的网站上花费很长的时间，由此可推知“obsessional”的意思是“痴迷的，上瘾的”，与“addictive”同义。
答案 C
4．We can infer from the passage that________.
A．weboholism has the greatest effect on teenagers
B．students can hardly balance real and virtual life

答案 B
【2015高考复习】阅读理解With more and more cars on the road，traffic jams are inevitable.Traffic jams can lead to increased accidents as there are more cars，with more people trying to get to their destination，all the while getting worse.Although it's impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether，there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road.
Check for traffic jams before you leave.You can listen to the radio for traffic news，or check on the Internet to get uptominute information on traffic.If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic，you can choose another.
Look for a different route permanently.Most traffic jams occur on busy roads.Using country roads could see you avoiding a lot of traffic.Although the distance you may have to travel is further，it can work out quicker.
Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins.Many new car stereo systems(汽车音响系统)are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel.This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary.
________.Most traffic jams usually occur during rush hour，so try to avoid this time period if possible.Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour.Some jobs even allow you to work from home so as to avoid commuting altogether.Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you.

答案 B
It was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and do all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick
were engaged in spring cleaning.
Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets , they had sent him to the kitchen for string(线). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.
My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping, A gun she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s take string to the boys and watch them
On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.
There never was such a day for flying kited! We played all our fresh string into the boys’ kites and they went up higher and higher .We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down it the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.
Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly.
It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to house. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn't mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed .Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.”
The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently
cried her desire to “go park ,see duck.”
“I can’t go!”
I said. “I have this and this to do, and when I’m through I’ll be too tired to walk that for.”
My mother , who was visiting us , looked up from the peas she was shelling ,“It’s a wonderful day,” she offered，“Really warm , yet there’s a fine breezy . Do you remember that day we flew kites?”
I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The looked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on.” I told my little girl. “You’re right, it’s too good a day to miss.”
Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath (余波)of a great war. All
evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of – what dark and horrible things?
“Say!” A smile slipped out from his lips. “Do you remember --- no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t make the impression on you as it did on me.”
I hardly dared speak. “Remember what?”
“I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(战俘营), when things weren’t too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”
