Dear Kate，
I can’t believe I’m already in my sixth week of university.I meant to write earlier but
there just seems to be so much going on all the time—lectures (讲座) to go to，interesting
people to meet ， societies to join ， etc.Now I keep forgetting things ， or being late for
lectures.Sometimes I think I’ll never learn to deal with it all！Is there any way I can get my act
together？What do you think?
Love，
Sheryl
Dear Sheryl，
It was great to hear from you.I’m not surprised you feel a bit overwhelmed.I think you
can make a list each morning of things you have to do that day.Try to include everything on
your list，from going to a lecture to returning your books to the library.And draw up your own
study timetable and stick to it.When you’ve got a minute during the day，don’t forget to tick
off things that have been completed.
The university social scene sounds very good.You seem to be really living it up.I
remember how popular and outgoing you were at school，so it must be tempting (诱人的) to
say “yes” to every social invitation.It’s not a good idea to go out every night，though！You
won’t forget to pace yourself，will you？Just avoid doing too much at one time!
I’ll be able to make the weekend of the 22nd.I’m really looking forward to seeing the
college and meeting some of your new friends.I believe by the time we meet everything will be going well in your life!
Love，
Kate

A few months ago，Jason asked his parents to buy him a computer. All his friends already
had one，so his mom and dad agreed. During the first few weeks，Jason spent a lot of time in
front of his computer because he had to learn how it worked. He was really interested in
learning all about it and he even started writing computer programs himself.
One day Jason found a website where he could play chess either against the computer or
against other people from all over the world. From then on，Jason seemed to have just one interest in life，his computer. Whenever his parents told him that he was spending too much
time with his computer，Jason went_into_denial. He did not think that he had a problem at all.
Then the unthinkable happened：Jason’s computer broke down. But his parents decided
not to buy him a new one. Jason said that he needed a computer for school，and he promised
that he’d spend less time with it. But his parents refused to give in. Finally ， Jason felt so
hopeless that he took the only way out and killed himself.
Robert Johnson，a psychologist (心理学家) on the subject， says，“Computer addiction
(沉溺) is an illness that can influence anyone of us. Nowadays，increasing numbers of people
are spending more and more time working with computers. While this isn’t a problem for
most users，some people，especially teenagers，often use the computer to get away from the real
world. This is especially true of shy people. For them，meeting people online is a way of hiding
their true selves. In cyberspace(网络空间)，they can be whoever they want to be and create
their own virtual ( 虚 拟 的 ) world. But what happens when they can no longer enter their
virtual world？”
29. Why did Jason want to buy a computer according to Paragraph 1?
A．To play chess. B．To make friends.
C．To avoid being an outsider(外人). D．To write computer programs.
30. By saying “Jason went into denial”，the author means________.
A．Jason would not listen B．Jason enjoyed himself
C．Jason would turn it off D．Jason changed his mind
31. What was Jason’s relationship with his parents like when his computer broke down?
A．Fine. B．Soso. C．Terrible. D．Unknown.
32. In Robert Johnson’s opinion，________.
A．it is impossible to beat computer addiction
B．shy people get addicted to computers easily
C．teenagers should stay away from computers
D．computers are getting us into serious trouble
D
The famous American gorilla(大猩猩)expert Diane Fossey had a completely new way to study gorillas—she pretended to be one of them. She copied their actions and way of
life—eating plants and getting down on her hands and knees to walk the way a gorilla does. It
was a new relationship.
Diane Fossey was murdered in Rwanda(卢旺达) in 1985 and her story was made into the
popular film Gorillas in the Mist(迷雾森林十八年). It was a long way from King Kong, which is
about a gorilla as a monster(a frightening animal), and helped to show a new idea: the real
monster is man, while the gorilla is to be admired.
Today there are thought to be around 48,000 lowland gorillas and maybe 400-500
mountain gorillas in the wild. From the Congo( 刚 果 ) in West Africa, to Rwanda and
Uganda(乌干达) further east, they are endangered by hunting and by the cutting down of their
forest homes.
Sometime ago, I found in my letterbox a little magazine from the World Wide Fund for
Nature. It had two photos side by side. One was of a young gorilla. “This is a species of
mammal(哺乳类动物), ”said the words below it. “It is being destroyed by man. We must save
it for our own good. ”The other photo showed a human baby. The words also read: “This is a
species of mammal, ”but then went on: “It is the most destructive(破坏性的)on earth. We must
retrain it for its own good.”
33. The text mainly talks about .
A. Diane Fossey B. the gorillas in Rwanda
C. the protection of the gorillas D. the film Gorillas in the Mist
34. We can learn from the text that .
A. Gorillas in the Mist was based on Fossey’s experiences
B. lowland gorillas live longer than mountain gorillas
C. King Kong showed us that a gorilla is admirable
D. Diane Fossey was murdered by a gorilla
35. What message can we get from the two photos in the magazine?
A. Gorillas are man’s close friends.
B. Both man and the gorilla need to be saved.
C. Young gorillas are as lovely as human babies.
D. Man should live peacefully with the gorilla.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。
If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that. 36
But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite
stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to
grow, creativity gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What
happens next?”“Why can’t I think?”
37 Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most
educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we
have to get help from reading.
Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain
something to you. 38 Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas. If it
is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things which you
would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!
This is nothing but creativity. 39 Within no time you can start talking with your
friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.
So guys, do give food to your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. 40 Go
and get a book!
A. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.
B. Why not do some reading while you are hungry?
C. Just like your stomach,your mind is also hungry.
D. Now what are you waiting for?
E. Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.
F. Reading can help you make more friends,too.
G. Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.
