ADo you spend too much time playing video or computer games or going online? Here are some ways to tell if you need to ask for help:1. You feel really happy when you’re online or when you’re playing games, but as soon as you have to stop, you get angry or upset.2. You think about going online or playing when you are supposed to be focusing on other things, like doing school work or having dinner with your family.3. You spend more time with your keyboard or controller than physically hanging out with your friends.4. You get up in the middle of the night to check your e-mail or your MySpace comments because you’re having a hard time sleeping.If you think there might be a p roblem, there probably is. And you certainly wouldn’t be the first. Some experts say as many as 10 percent of all people who use the Internet or play video games are addicted to them.It’s a tough habit to kick. It’s not like you can just stop using the co mputer altogether. You need it for school and to stay in touch with your friends. The best thing to do is talk to someone you trust. Maybe it’s your mom or dad, a big brother or sister, or a good friend who is concerned about you. Tell them you’re worried about being obsessed and you need their help.Chances are, the games aren’t the real issue. You may be using the computer to avoid doing things you don’t want to do or thinking about things that are troubling you. Sometimes that’s OK—grown-ups do it, too. But when it’s keeping you from sleeping, or causing you to be angry with the people who love you, there are other ways.21. The author offers four ways in the passage to tell us __________.A. how to deal with Internet addictionB. the Internet can do great harm to usC. the Internet and games are very popularD. how to judge if we’re addicted to the Internet22. The following shows you may suffer from Internet addiction EXCEPT that________.A. you wake up at midnight to check your microblogB. you get upset when you have to leave the InternetC. you turn to the Internet when you have a question.D. you think about computer games when you’re studying23. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The games are what’s really troubling us.B. We use computers to escape from reality.C. Children are usually lazier than grown-ups.D. We needn’t take Internet addiction seriously.BMelbourne is located in the state of Victoria, and is the second biggest city of Australia. Though smaller in population than Sydney, Melbourne is larger in area. Melbourne has about 4.5 million people, and it is continually growing due to its enormous job market. Melbourne doesn’t have mountains or any other immediately identifiable reference points, and because of that, it can look boring. The Yarra River cuts the city into two halves. The eastern half is called Southbank, where you’ll find many cafes and restaurants, as well as the huge Crown Casino. The western part is the downtown itself.Melbourne is well known in Australia for its crazy climate. It is possible for someone to wake up in the morning to a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, and by afternoon, the temperature has risen to 40 degrees, climbing and dropping like a roller coaster. A beautiful and clear day with fresh winds can be transformed in a matter of hours into a hurricane-like experience with cloudy skies, thunderstorms, and very cold winds coming directly from the South Pole. That is why Melbournians don’t do anything without checking the weather report before lea ving home, and the majority of them will keep an umbrella and a coat in the trunks of their cars.Melbourne is the most cultural city in Australia. Migrants(移民) from every country in the world are present in this great city, giving it a great multicultural mix. It creates a healthy combination of languages, religions, lifestyles, and food specific to Australia. People speak English, Chinglish, Greeklish, Espanglish, Italinglish, and even Portuguenglish. After spending 3 weeks in Melbourne, I’ve found that only half of the people speak English with a pure Australian accent. Everybody else’s accent somehow carries a little bit of their homeland with it. This characteristic shows, in a very positive way, the multicultural diversity of the Australian population. Melbourne, as a super metropolis(大都市), delivers all the goods and deals well with all the problems of big cities.24. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To introduce the city of Melbourne.B. To show all the attractions in Melbourne.C. To introduce the history of Melbourne.D. To imply that Melbourne is the biggest city.25. Compared with Sydney, ____________.A. Melbourne has the larger populationB. Melbourne has the better job marketC. Melbourne is greater in areaD. Melbourne is located in the mountains26. A visitor to Melbourne will be shocked by ____________.A. its countless cafes and restaurantsB. its unique and crazy climateC. its high temperature in the morningD. its beautiful and clear skyCHow many people have had the opportunity to see the curvature(圆弧) of the earth below and a completely black sky above? Sitting at the edge of the craft, preparing to jump, was an unforgettable experience. Before I jumped, I said, “I’m going home now.” and that’s what I was thinking —with my jump I’d be going hom e to the people I love. I was also aware I only had 10 minutes of oxygen, so part of me was thinking, “Don’t waste too much time. Get going.”As I fell, I was focused on what I needed to do. There was a time when I was thinking I might be in trouble. But even then I could be calm, as I had trained so hard and because we had taken measures that would have created drag(拖曳) and slowed me down, so I’m glad I fought to get control and didn’t need it. I became the first person to break the speed of sound in freefall.I trained for five years for the jump —mentally and physically, including things like holding firmly, as it’s very hard to use your hands in those gloves. I also learned about all the technical and medical issues involved in a jump: that was essential to earn the respect of the scientists and doctors on the team and work together with them. As a professional BASE jumper, I was used to being independent.I always knew death or injury was possible, but I didn’t think I would die. I am a very meticulous planner: I look at all the risks, and if they are too high, I won’t undertake the project. The best thing to result from the jump is still to come. Not only have we proventhat a human can successfully break the speed of sound in freefall, but it’s clear from the response we’ve received that this mission(任务) has inspired people to follow their own dreams, whatever they are.Would I do it again? No. Once I’ve accomplished something, I’m always ready to move on to the next challenge.27. During the fall from space, ____________.A. the author thought of a reason for jumpingB. the author was in a nervous stateC. the author tried different measures that he came up with by himselfD. the author thought of the possibility of danger28. While the author got trained for the jump, ____________.A. he respected the scientists and doctorsB. he learned to deal with many problemsC. he depended on his teammates all the timeD. he didn’t work well with his teammates29. What does the underlined word “meticulous” in the fourth paragraph mean?A. worried.B. wonderful.C. cautious.D. interested.30. Which of the following is true about the author?A. He is satisfied with what he is.B. He is always trying to pursue his dreams.C. He is ready to accept challenges from others.D. He is going after fame and money.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
