The “e” in e-sports stands for electronic. Instead of playing physical games, people play games on a computer. Most of these games are played on the Internet.

People love e-sports for the same reasons as people love many other sports. The competition is fun. The play is exciting to watch. The players are highly skilled. However, people like e-sports for another key reason. The sport of video games creates new, exciting worlds. In the games, people can do things that they cannot do in normal life.

South Korea is the global center for professional e-sports. In South Korea, places called PC Bangs are very popular. They usually have one big room filled with many computers. There are no windows. People pay to play the games. They can also buy energy drinks and food. Young people spend many hours there.

Many people are concerned about the problems that can come with e-sports. One main problem is technology addiction(癮). Young people can especially play so many games that they cannot stop. Some experts believe that half of South Korean children have problems because of using computers and the Internet too much. Therefore, the South Korean government made a special Shutdown Law in 2011. According to the law, children under 16 are not permitted to use the Internet between midnight and six in the morning. Today, parents are responsible for setting rules for their own children. Also, the government established technology addiction treatment centers, which treat millions of people every year.

One of the biggest problems in e-sports is drugs. Many players often take drugs to improve their performance. However, using drugs can be very dangerous. Bjoern Franzen worked in the e-sport business for many years. He wrote in his blog, “Using drugs in e-sports is one of the industry’s secrets. It is a natural thing for some League of Legends players to take different kinds of drugs before a game. They will even do this to extend their training for a few extra hours.

1.According to Paragraph 2, people are more attracted by e-sports particularly because ________.

A. it is creative

B. it is full of competition

C. it has no time limitation

D. its players are professional

2.What do PC Bangs in South Korea mainly aim at?

A. Selling popular drinks and snacks.

B. Providing people with computer games.

C. Displaying different types of computers.

D. Instructing kids under 16 to surf the Internet.

3.What did the South Korean government do about technology addiction?

A. They shut down some e-sports centers.

B. They urged parents not to use computers at home.

C. They passed a law to limit the time kids spend on the Internet.

D. They planned to set up technology addiction treatment centers.

科目：高中英語 來源：山東省2016-2017學(xué)年高一下學(xué)期期末考試英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解

Imagine the tallest building in the United States. Fill that giant building 44 times with rotten fruits and vegetables. Now you know how much food Americans waste every year.

It is hard to believe, right? About 133 billion pounds of food get thrown away. That’s one-third of all the food we produce. And a lot of it is thrown away for one simple reason: It’s ugly.

The problem is that nature isn’t perfect. Apples can get scarred (留下疤痕) by storms. Cucumbers grow in C shapes. Carrots change into unusual fork-like forms. Watermelons get too big to fit on a refrigerator shelf. These crazy-looking fruits and vegetables may taste great. But most grocery stores refuse to sell them. Store owners say people judge food by how it looks. No one wants a tomato that looks like a two-headed monster. But what if you could buy that tomato for half-price?

A new movement is trying to make people see the “beauty” in ugly food. Some stores are selling ugly produce. It tastes the same. And you pay less for it because the food doesn’t look perfect.

Usually, the stores find a nicer word than “ugly”. A Canadian chain uses “naturally imperfect”. In some US stores, it’s “misfit produce”. Whatever you call it, ugly food helps many people. Fanners get paid for food they were going to have to throw away. Shoppers get cheaper fruits and vegetables. The ugly-food movement will also help some of the 44 million Americans who don’t have enough to eat. Many groups give the ugly produce to hungry people.

So really, who cares if that carrot looks a little… ugly?

1.Why are lots of fruits and vegetables thrown away in the US?

A. Because they don’t look nice.

B. Because they have gone bad.

C. Because they don’t taste good.

D. Because they are badly polluted.

2.What is the 5th paragraph mainly about?

A. The stores selling ugly food.

B. The better names for ugly food.

C. The number of hungry Americans.

D. The benefits of the ugly-food movement.

3.What does the mark “…” in the last paragraph suggest?

A. The author would like to buy ugly carrots.

B. No one would care if a carrot looks a little ugly.

C. The author does not quite like the word “ugly”.

D. Nobody really wants to buy carrots that look ugly.
