In no other time in history information, good and bad, has been spread as fast as today. Media just pushes out violence and cruelty and of course it will affect the minds of people watching. Internet has damaged the idea that love is something special and school social workers are busy teaching teenage boys how to behave in a relationship and girls to say no to things they do not want to do.

Quite a lot of studies have been made into the way children are affected by watching TV and other media such games with a high content of violence. In a young age children cannot differentiate themselves and their fantasies from the real world. By playing games that mixes reality with fantasy children learn about themselves and the world. In their games they also act out things they might be considering, their wishes and things they have been through. If a child is let to watch a lot of violence, not surprisingly, the child is very likely to play violent games. Acting out what they have been through is a normal way of trying out new concepts and form ideas about how to interact with other people. Also, up to certain age most children adore adults how ever good or bad they are. Children look upon these adults as role models and copy their behavior.

So what happens then if a child watches adults harm and kill each other in a movie or in a game? What adults do is usually OK to do, so what happens on the screen must be OK even if it looks strange and makes the child feel uneasy. Children become insecure and anxious.

1.Why are children easily affected by TV programs and games?

A. Because they easily ignore the directions from their teachers and parents

B. Because they can't tell reality from fantasy and like to act things out.

C. Because TV programs and games are more attractive than their lessons.

D. Because they cannot find their role models from the real world.

2.From the passage we can learn that ________.

A. most people are deeply pessimistic about their future

B. young children get in touch with much content of violence

C. educators fail to teach what is right and what is wrong

D. films on TV are too difficult for children to understand

3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. The Impact of Media on Children

B. Violence and Cruelty in Games

C. Our Worrying Future

D. Take Control of Children

E-mail systems at thousands of companies and government offices around the world were attacked by a virus(病毒)called “Melissa” that disguises(偽裝)itself as an “important message”from a friend. In spite of a weekend of warnings,more than 50 000 computers at about 100 places around the world have been attacked by the virus,computer security experts said on Monday.

The virus began to show up last Friday and spread rapidly on Monday by making computers fire off dozens of infected(被傳染的)e-mails. Although the virus causes no serious damage to a computer,its effect was far reaching.

To make matters worse,a similar virus called “Papa” was discovered on Monday. Papa is programmed to send out even more infected e-mails than Melissa.

The Melissa virus comes in the form of an e-mail,usually containing the subject line“Important Message”. It appears to be from a friend. The body of the e-mail message says,“Here is that document you asked for...,don’t show it to anyone else.” Attached(附)to the message is a document file.

Once the user opens that file,the virus digs into the user’s address book and sends infected documents to the first 50 addresses. E-mails from the Papa virus include an attached spreadsheet(電子數(shù)據(jù)文件)file. When the user opens that file,the virus sends 60 infected e-mails.

The reason why this is spreading so fast is that you are getting it from people you know. You should never open documents or attachments from people you don’t know. People who get an unexpected e-mail with the “important message” subject line should delete it immediately and not open the message.

1.Thousands of computers were attacked by the Melissa virus _______________.

A. covered with an important message

B. under cover of a message needing immediate attention

C. under the clothes of an important e-mail

D. with a beautiful coat

2.The Melissa virus made a computer _____________________.

A. receive tens of bad e-mails

B. fire at many sick e-mail messages

C. send out scores of infected messages

D. burn with a fire because of many infected e-mails

3.After the attack by the Melissa virus a computer ________________.

A. was slightly damaged

B. became entirely out of order

C. could not send out any e-mail any longer

D. would have to be thrown away

4.If you opened an infected file by Melissa virus,the virus would ______________.

A. damage the user’s address book at once

B. soon spread through the user’s list of address

C. let the first 50 addresses go out of the computer

D. change the user’s address book in the computer

When we want to tell other people what we think, we can do it with the help of words. We can also do it in many other ways, too. Sometimes we move our heads up and down when we want to say “yes”, and we shake our heads when we want to say “no ”. Some people can’t hear or speak. They talk with the help of gestures(手勢).People from other countries often have to do it if they don’t know your language.

Here is a story. An American was once having his holiday in Italy, but he could not speak Italian. One day he went to a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, the American opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. In this way he wanted to say “Bring me something to eat”. The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The American shook his head and the waiter understood that he didn’t want tea. So he took it away and brought him a glass of milk. The American shook his head again. He was very hungry now and looked sad. He was just going to leave the restaurant when another man came in. When this man saw the waiter, he put his hands on his stomach(胃). In a few minutes there was a large plate of bread and meat on the table in front of him.

1.Sometimes people move their heads __________ when they want to say “yes”.

A. right and left B. fast and slow

Rapid advances in a new technology will soon transform science fiction into reality — meaning people will have driverless cars, small robots at their command and the ability to experience being in another place without leaving home, predicted Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the planet’s largest cell phone trade show.

Introduction of books available online, Internet translation of languages and voice recognition for computers all happened much faster than anyone could foresee and that technological research into even more previously unheard of advances is progressing at a fast speed.

“People who predict that holograms(全息圖)and self-driving cars will become reality soon are absolutely right,” Schmidt told thousands of attendees. Research under way will lead to situations where people can put themselves at events like a rock concert so that they can see, hear and even feel the event. And turn down the volume, if it’s too loud.

One attendee said she was scared that the possibility could be dehumanizing, but Schmidt replied by holding up his cell phone into the air. “It has an off button and it is here on the right,” Schmidt said. “My point is that it is all about your control. If you don’t like my version of a rock concert, I’m not forcing you to go.” In the future, small robots could be used so busy people can send them to events for video and voice transmissions when their presence isn’t required, Schmidt said.

Technology in the near future will redefine the relationship among people in the world. “With technology comes power and with power comes choice, and smarter resourceful citizens are going to demand a better deal for their new life,” Schmidt said.

1.From the passage, the new technology _________.

A. largely depends on science fiction

B. will eventually replace humans’ presence

C. amazingly improves people’s social skills

D. can unexpectedly bring new various choices

2.Why did Schmidt give the example in Paragraph 4?

A. To list advantages of the new cell phone.

B. To advise a wider use of the new cell phone.

C. To remove people’s worry of the new technology.

D. To compare the benefits of using the new technology.

3.What’s the writer’s attitude toward rapid advances in technology?

A. Objective. B. Negative. C. Uncared. D. Contradictory.

Since people first launched rockets into space in the 1950s, we have been leaving behind all sorts of things. Some of them, like the camera, were lost by astronauts while they did work outside their spacecraft. But much of the space junk is made up of little pieces of things that were once bigger objects, until they struck each other and broke apart.

Some things we send into space fall back toward Earth and burn up in the atmosphere. But larger pieces sometimes survive the extreme heat and hit the ground or the ocean at great speeds. So there is always concern that something may fall from the sky and do some harm.

But space junk falling on roofs is not the biggest worry. Scientists are concerned about the “Kessler” problem. Imagine what happens when an empty rocket strikes another while orbiting the earth. Two big things become many smaller things. They then hit other things. The pieces get smaller and smaller until they form a cloud of junk that blocks the path of future space vehicles.

Marco Castronuovo, an Italian Space Agency researcher, says launching a satellite into space that would get very close to some of the larger pieces of space junk. The satellite would connect a small rocket to the useless object. When the rocket explodes, it pushes the junk into a lower and slower orbit, nearer the Earth. After a time, the junk burns up in the atmosphere. Mr.Castronuovo has proposed using a number of small satellites with robotic arms. One arm would catch the space junk, and another arm would connect the rocket. He imagines that each satellite could jump from one large piece of junk to another. He thinks this method could destroy about ten large objects each year.

Scientists have been concerned about space junk for many years. Right now, the costs of the clean?up have been too great. Mr.Castronuovo says his system could be put in place for a much more reasonable amount of money. So what can be done to clean up the space around our planet?

1.We can learn from the text that much of the space junk ________.

A. was left by the astronauts on purpose

B. is mainly made up of broken spaceship

C. is usually made of small pieces of things

D. burns up before it reaches the atmosphere

2.Now scientists are most worried that space junk will ________.

A. harm the future space vehicles

B. do some harm to the atmosphere

C. fall on people's house roofs

D. destroy the habitat of wildlife

3.It implies in the last but one paragraph that ________.

A. clearing up the space will actually cost little

B. small rockets also do harm to the atmosphere

C. only robots can clear up the space completely

D. it is still difficult for us to clear up the space

4.What is the text mainly about?

A. Space junk threatens earth's orbital environment.

B. Scientists use different methods to clear up space junk.

C. Spacecrafts will meet with a lot of space junk in the future.

D. Marco comes up with many methods to deal with space junk.
