doesnt only help students with their everyday school work，but can also help them find useful material to prepare for college.One of the largest and best search engines online can be found at www.google.com.When you get to the home page，type a key word or phrase into the search box，you will receive a list of websites that are connected with your search.A great site to start with is www.educationworld.com.It offers links to websites about science，history，math，and other subjects.In order to interact with some sites，you will need to download Shockwave.Shockwave is a plugin that you can download from a site.There will be a link to download it from，if the site requires it.You will find that some of the sites charge users some money to get their services and information.One such site is www.homeworkhelp.com.They offer some free study aids，but charge a fee for using their lessons and quizzes in middle school and high school subjects.At www.howstuffworks.com，you can learn how things work，It covers car engines to tornadoes，Children may be unable to control themselves when they are chatting online.So parents will need to set a time limit for childrens visits to chat rooms.At www.acrontech.com，they have software that offers parental control (what sites your children view) and an Internet timer.The Internet timer is a great tool.When the users time is up，they will be logged

very usefulBteaches parents how to help their children use the Internet properlyCexplains why students need to search information on the InternetDintroduces some useful websites to middle school students【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文，可知文章主要介绍了几个可以帮助中学生搜索资料的网站。故选D项。【答案】D6According to Paragraph 2，if you want to find a website about health，what procedure should you follow?Click the website link that you think is right for you.Get to the home page of www.google.com.A list of websites connected with health will show up.Type the key word “health” into the search box.ABCD【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的描述，可知应先打开google的主页，然后在搜索框里输入关键字，接着会有很多网站的链接跳出来，最后点击相关链接进入页面，故选C项。【答案】C7By saying that children may be unable to control themselves when they are chatting online，the writer means that Achildren may talk about something improper onlineBchildren may talk about something that has nothing to do with their studiesCchildren may spend too much time chatting online with othersDchildren may go out and meet people with whom they have chatted on the Internet【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“So parents will need to set a time limit for childrens visits to chat rooms.”可知是说孩子们在聊天室聊天的时候可能会忘了时间。【答案】C8We can infer that the Internet timer is most popular with AdoctorsBparentsCstudentsDbusinessmen【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The Internet timer is a great tool.When the users time is up，they will be logged out.”可知因特网定时器可以很好地控制小孩上网的时间，从而可以防止小孩长时间地上网聊天而影响学习，故可推断父母们应当最喜欢因特网定时器。【答案】BC The Internet will open up new vistas (前景 )，create the global villageyou can make new friends all around the world.That，at least，is what it promised us.The difficulty is that it did not take the human mind into account.The reality is that we cannot keep relationships with more than a limited number of people.No matter how hard the Internet tries to put you in communication，its best efforts will be defeated human mind.The problem is twofold(双重的)First，there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with.That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain.Second，the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest(投入)in them.We invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribute whats left among as many others as we can.The problem is that if we invest little time in a person，our engagement with that person will decline (减弱)until eventually it dies into“someone I once knew”This is not，of course，to say that the Internet doesnt serve a socially valuable function.Of course it does.But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world，but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to move to the other side of the world.In one sense，thats a good thing.But it also has a disadvantage.If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see them，then certainly you arent using your time to make new friends where you now live.And I suspect that probably isnt the best use of your time.Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other，face to face.The Internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end，but it wont stop that happening eventually.【语篇解读】因特网让我们的距离拉近了，不用面对面就可以随时交流，真可谓是“地球村”。作者赞同吗？其依据又在哪里？9What is stressed in the first paragraph? AThe present situation of the Internet.BThe difficulty in communication on the Internet.CThe socially valuable function of the Internet.D. The role of the human mind in the Internet communication.【解析】 从第一段的“human mind”不难得出答案为D。【答案】D10. The underlined word “engagement” in the second paragraph probably means“ ”Aappointment BconnectionCinterview Dagreement【解析】 根据第二段中的“relationships”可以推知答案为B。【答案】B11Whats the authors attitude towards the use of the Internet to strengthen relationship?AHes uncertain about it.BHes hopeful of it.CHe approves of it.DHe doubts it.【解析】 由第一段综合考虑可以推知作者对此持怀疑态度，故选D。【答案】DD For many adolescents(青少年)，“screen time”is almost a fulltime job that could lead to obesity(肥胖)，diabetes and other health issues，a Canadian researcher says.Adolescents now spend an average of six hours a day in front of some type of screen，whether its a television or computer screen or one of the many portable devices now popular with young people，studies done by Dr.Ian Michael Janssen show.“They spend more hours daily in front of a screen than they do in a classroom in a given year，” says Janssen, a researcher at Queens University in Kingston，Canada.The result is a rise in obesity rates among adolescents. Unfortunately，fixing the problem isnt as easy as simply cutting down screen time，Janssen cautions. “Decreasing screen time will not automatically (自动地) increase physical activity levels，” says Janssen.“Some active kids also spend a lot of time in front of television and computer screens, and some kids who have low screen times also have low levels of physical activity，” he points out.“As well，screen time is not necessarily bad，” Janssen says.“The tricky part is that children today need to be using computers，” he says.Computers are required for schoolwork, and technological skills are important for future job prospects. The quality of screen time matters too，along with the quantityconsider the negative health messages found in food advertising during childrens shows，he says.Ideally，children should aim for no more than two hours of recreational screen time a day.Janssens real worry about the rise in childhood obesity rates is not that there are now rare cases of type 2 diabetes in kids，where once there were none，but the health problems these children are likely to face in the future as adults，including high blood pressure，high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.【语篇解读】本文叙述了青少年过多的接触屏幕，如看电视，上网等可能导致肥胖，糖尿病和其他健康问题。12Which one doesnt belong to “screen time” according to the passage?AWatching TV.BSurfing the Internet.CSeeing a film on an MP4.DListening to

weightBdecrease screen timeCtake physical activitiesDgo on a diet【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句的意思：减少看电视或上网时间不一定就会增加体育锻炼的时间很少看电视或上网的孩子也很少锻炼可知Janssen希望孩子们多参加体育锻炼。【答案】C14Whats the researchers attitude towards “screen time of adolescents”？AWorried.BPassive.CPositive.DFrightened.【解析】推理判断题。根据全文内容及最后一段首句可推断出答案。【答案】A15We can most probably read the passage in .Aa childrens storyBa health reportCa science
