In most towns today, you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights, shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters(惡魔).The machines have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only to those strange visitors from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back.?

Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they can't stop playing. They spend hours tightly holding the joystick controls and constantly pressing buttons marked “fire”.They develop pains on their fingers because of the constant pressure. They play and play so that the pains have no chance to cure properly. The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another problem: The muscles of the wrist and arm become so inflamed and swollen(充血紅腫)that they press against the bones. This condition is what doctors now call “Space Warriar's Wrist”.Other strange aches and pains also are likely to affect(影響)the elbows and shoulders.?

Another even more alarming problem is shown by the case of a 17-year-old girl which was recently in the British Medical Journal. She had been playing all kinds of electronic games for more than two hours a day. Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the cassettes and systems in his workshop as often as she liked. One day, after playing a game called Dark Invader, she lost consciousness(暈倒)and fell to the floor.?

Doctors who examined her found she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by lights flashing at a particular frequency.?

“Space Warrior's Wrist”is caused by_______.?

A. constantly pressing the buttons?

B. rapidly moving across the screen ?

C. tightly holding the joystick controls?

D. inflamed and swollen muscles of the wrist?

The case of a 17-year-old girl by the writer shows that the writer_______.

A. supports playing electronic games?

B. feels very sorry for the girl?

C. disagrees with young people's playing electronic games?

D. feels worried about young people's poor health?

From the passage we can conclude that playing electronic games is _______.

A. enjoyable and helpful to the study?

B. exciting but harmful to the health and study ?

C. interesting but harmless to the eyes?

D. amusing and satisfying

【小題1】A

【小題3】B

【小題3】 從青少年對電子游戲的癡迷上可看出電子游戲是exciting的。但從作者所列舉的種種危害來看,游戲?qū)λ麄兊慕】岛蛯W(xué)習(xí)是有危害的。所以應(yīng)選B項(xiàng)。

It's not the flashiest car in the world. Not even close. But the 1971 Volkswagen named Helios can do something most cars can't: nm on solar energy – energy from the sun's light and heat!

    Joshua Bechtold, 14, and the other students at the Riverside School in Lyndonville, Vermont, worked many months to get Helios ready for the 1999  American Tour de Sol ("Sol" is the Latin word for "sun"). They named their car after Helios, the sun god in Greek mythology(神話).

    The 4-year-old Tour de Sol encourages the use of "green", or environmentally friendly, cars to help reduce pollution and save energy. It’s not a race. Cars are  judged on fuel efficiency(耗油量) rather than speed. In the week-long event, 44 cars took the 350-mile tour from Waterbury, Connecticut, to Lake George, New York. Of the 23 student cars, Helios was the only one built by middle school students.

    A teacher drove Helios, but the children talked with people wherever they stopped along the mad. "That was my favorite part," says Anna Browne, 15. "We explained how the car runs.”

    Due in part to old, inefficient batteries(電池), Helios finished fourth - out of four - in its kind, the sun-powered class. "We were there for the fun of it," Anna says. "We're proud of Helios," says Ariel Gleicher, 14. "It's a car that's good for the environment."

64. What is special about the car Helios in the text?       

       A. It was built by middle school students.

       B. It has an attractive design.

      C. It was made in 1971.

      D. It won the fourth prize.

65. How many sun-powered cars took part in the race?      

       A. 1.       B. 4.     C. 23.    D. 44.

66. What would be the best title for the text.'?       

      A. The Making of Helios

      B. 1999 American Tour de Sol

      C. Sun-powered Cars on the Road

      D. Use of Green Cars in Connecticut

67. The students felt proud of Helios because______.

      A. it could run as far as 350 miles      B. it was favored by many children

   C. it had high-quality batteries          D. it was driven by clean energy

It was not much bigger than a soccer ball and weighed less than 185 pounds. But 50 years ago, when the Russian satellite Sputnik successfully orbited the Earth, it made headlines around the world and marked the beginning of the race for space.

  The launch of the world's first artificial satellite on October 4, 1957 ignitedBefore Sputnik's launch, the US had plans to send its own satellites into space to study cosmic (宇宙的) rays and gravity, among other things. But the Russians struck first, leaving US scientists and ordinary citizens in shock. To make matters worse, the Russians successfully launched a second satellite less than one month later. This one was much larger, at 1,120 pounds. The Americans were more eager than ever to make their mark in space.

  Americans thought their time had finally come on December 6. But what was supposed to be a day to remember quickly turned into a disaster to forget. The US satellite Vanguard rose just four feet off the ground before its engine failed and it burst into flames. Finally, on January 31, 1958, the Americans had the reason to celebrate. The US satellite Explorer 1 blasted into space. During its voyage, it made one of the most significant scientific finds to date—the discovery of magnetic radiation belts around the Earth.

  As the consequence of Sputnik, American Congress passed the National Defense Education Act of 1958.The act was aimed at improving education in science, mathematics, and foreign languages. Congress also passed the National Aeronautics and Space Act on July 29, 1958. The federal legislation (立法) created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, most commonly known as NASA.Today, the United States and Russia are no longer in competition. In fact, NASA astronauts and Russian cosmonauts are working together and making important scientific discoveries aboard the International Space Station.

1.How can we conclude the first period of the space race between the US and Russia?

A.A Russian victory.       B.A close game.

C.An American honor.       D.A hard win for both.

2.The Russians successfully launched the first satellite________ earlier than the Americans.

A.nearly half a year       B.a(chǎn)bout two months

C.less than 100 days       D.more than 100 days

3.In 1958 American Congress passed two acts for fear that ________.

A.the US wouldn't get any help from the Soviet Union

B.the Soviet Union would cancel the offer in the competition

C.the Soviet Union would do better than the US in the space race

D.the US would be in want of research forces

4.The underlined word “ignited” here can be replaced by “________”.

A.prepared    B.caused    C.a(chǎn)pproved   D.compared

Curiously, Spotty  41  at Brownie’s house alone, barking. Busy with their own lives, they just ignored(不理睬)the  42  little neighbor dog.
Finally, one morning Spotty  43  to take “no” for an answer. Spotty followed Ted about, barking strongly, then running towards a nearby wood, as if to say “ 44  me! It’s urgent!”
Finally, Ted followed the anxious Spotty. The little dog led the man to a  45  spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie  46 , one of his hind legs stuck in a steel leg hold trap. Horrified, Ted now wished he’d taken Spotty’s earlier requirement  47 .Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable.
Spotty had done more than simply  48  Brownie’s human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the  49  dog. Ted found some dog food---which was later  50  as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that  516  !
Spotty had been visiting Brownie  52 , in a single-minded quest to keep his friend alive by offering his own comfort. Spotty had obviously stayed with Brownie to protect him from being hurt, snuggling(依偎) with him at night to keep him  53  and touching him gently with its nose to keep his spirits up.
Brownie’s leg was treated by a veterinarian and he re-covered. For many years afterward, the two  54  watched the faithful friends frolicking(嬉戲) 55  chasing each other down that well-worn path between their houses.
