Question

In today's Internet age, the demand for online games continues to grow. Online computer game centers exist in many cities and towns throughout Asia. Facing the pressures of school and life, people tend to the virtual world, expecting a diversion from these problems. Too often, however, they can lead to problems and unhealthy addictions.

This is most clearly seen in the example of South Korea. The country has the world's highest percentage of high­speed Internet services. It also has a high number of online game players and related problems. It was once reported that a young man collapsed (突然暈倒) and died while playing online games. He had been playing almost nonstop for 86 hours at an Internet cafe. Another young man killed his sister after becoming confused between the online world and real life. A 12­year­old boy stole US $ 16000 from his father and ran away from home. He did this to continue his obsession  (著迷) with online game. Such problems, however, don't just happen in South Korea. They are spreading to other parts of Asia, as well.

What kinds of people develop online game addiction? What does the problem look like? Dr SueHuei Chen, a clinical psychologist, researches Internet addiction. She discovered some signs of at­risk individuals such as lack friendship and good social skills. Those problem individuals feel it so compulsive to play online games that they could sacrifice things such as school and family. They feel the need to spend more and more time online. And they become upset if anyone tries to limit their online game playing.

How many problem game players are there? In mainland China, the potential number of problem online gamers is alarming. Just in 2004, China has had 13.8 million online game players according to China Daily. Furthermore, it stated that 80 percent of these were under 25 and had signs of addiction. Such numbers point toward a growing problem among Chinese youth.

Make sure to keep control over your online game playing. If you don't control it, it can get control of you.

試題分析：本文講述了沉迷網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲所引起的問(wèn)題，網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲讓人逃避現(xiàn)實(shí)，沉迷網(wǎng)絡(luò)的人缺少友誼和人際交往。

1.C　詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)本句Facing the pressures of school and life, people tend to the virtual world, expecting a diversion from these problems.可知diversion意為“轉(zhuǎn)移”，在文中意指人們通過(guò)虛擬世界來(lái)逃避現(xiàn)實(shí)，故選C。

2.C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第二段通過(guò)三個(gè)年輕人的例子來(lái)說(shuō)明了網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲?qū)δ贻p人的負(fù)面影響，故選C。

3.D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)SueHuei Chen的研究，沉迷網(wǎng)絡(luò)的人缺少友誼和人際交往，故可推斷增強(qiáng)個(gè)人的交往能力可以防治網(wǎng)癮。

4.C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句They are spreading to other parts of Asia, as well.可知答案C正確。

5.B　主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章主題段第一段可知全文講述的是網(wǎng)癮的問(wèn)題，故B項(xiàng)最符合文意。
