A lot of grown-ups worry that spending too much time playing video games isn’t good for a kid’s health. Now some doctors have noticed that kids who bring their hand-held game players to the hospital seem less worried about being there. These patients also seem to experience less pain when they are concentrating on a superhero adventure or a car race. At the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Maryland, young patients are finding hospital visits easier to deal with, thanks to a test program called the Hospital-based On-line Pediatric Environment (HOPE). Patients in HOPE have a life-threatening condition where their kidneys(肾脏)no longer filter(过滤)wastes from their blood. To get their blood cleaned, these kids must be hooked up to dialysis(透析) machines at the hospital three times a week, for at least three hours each time. HOPE allows kids to play online sports, racing, and adventure games with each other. Eventually they will be able to connect with kids in other hospitals who are suffering from the same problem. "We want to use the power of the Internet to bring together kids who feel that they are separated by their illness, and let them know that they are not alone," said Arun Mathews, the doctor who heads the program. He loves video games himself and got the idea to connect kids all over the country. Many researchers elsewhere are testing video game programs that might help young patients. For example, nine-year-old Ben Duskin of San Francisco, who was struggling with cancer helped to design a video game where players get rid of cancer cells. That’s all great news, because doctors already know that reducing pain and worry helps patients heal faster.

What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Playing video games too much is bad for kids’health.

B. Playing video games seems to be beneficial to young patients’ recovery.

C. Doctors find that reducing pain helps patients recover faster.

D. Doctors invent a game to help kids in hospitals.

How long will it take a patient to get his blood cleaned in a week?

A. About 3 hours.   B. About 6 hours.  C. About 9 hours. D. About 21 hours.

According to Arun Mathews, the main purpose of HOPE is to _________.

A. encourage kids to play online games

B. teach kids how to design video games

C. help kids who are suffering from illness connect with each other

 D. make parents worry less about their kids playing video games too much

Which of the following plays the most important role in the HOPE project?

A. Music.  B. The Internet. C. Novels.  D. Films.

What can we learn from the passage?

A. Nine-year-old Ben Duskin, who has a cancer, is very brave and clever.

B. Many parents want their children to play video games because it’s good for their health.

C. Doctors are not sure whether reducing pain and worry can help the patients recover faster.

D. HOPE allows kids to play online games only with the kids in the same hospital.

Last month ,studenrs from 103 universities in 88 coontries took part in international computer programming contest. The Battle of the Brain took place in Harbin, China. Three---person terms from each school had hours to solve eleven real world problems.

Jerry Cain coached the team from Standford University in Palo Alto,California. He says the problems involved, among other things, paperweights, robots, castles and lakes.

JERRY CAIN: “One of the programming problems was trying to figure out how to break an chocolate bar into a certain number of pieces of a certain number of sizes and to do it as quickly as possible. And that’s probably the simplest of all them.”

The students first listed the problems in order of difficulty and then they wrote the needed software systems. They designed ways to test their solutions. And they wrote the needed software systems , Even the winning team from Shanghai Jiaotong University in China was not able to solved all the problems within the given time limit. Stanford’s team solved five problems and finished in fourteenth place. Standford was one of twenty---one America universities that took part in the conest this year. The conest began in 1970 at Texa A and M University. The first final competition was held in 1977 at the Association for Computer Machinery Computer Science Conference. It developed and grew as more and more schools took part in local and area contests.

Contest spokenman Doug Heintzman says the world champions receive prizes and scholarships. They are also guaranteed an offer of employment or practice period with IBM. “We’re had past world champions that IBM has given a post to in our Zurich research Iaboratory and they are now working on some of the Ieading edge materials in science and physics. So this competition is an opportunity to be recognized and to be recruited by some of the top  technology and firms around the world “

68. It can be inferred that__________.

   A .the contest is increasingly unpopular with the universities

   B..the contest this year was not easy for the participants

   C. most of the American universities took part in this contest

   D. whether to win or not has nothing to do with the participants’ future

69. Which of the following is true about contest?

   A. Every team consisted of five members.

   B. The participants from Shanghai Jiaotong University in China performed best.

   C. Except American, there are sixty---seven countries taking part.

   D. Finally Stanford’s team came fourth in the contest

70. The underline word in the text can be best replaced by_________.

   A. promoted    B. fired   C. given a salary increase  D.employ

71. The purpose of this passage is to__________.

   A.provide some information on how to enter for the contest

   B.call on university students to take part in the contest

   C.introduce the international computer programming contest. held this year

   D.inform the readers of the result of the contest

       A story from the Bible tells of old Babylon, where the men decided to build a tower that would touch the sky. But God was unhappy, and he made them speak different languages. They couldn’t understand each other, so their dream never came true.

       Yet the dream remains alive: if all men speak the same language, they can do anything. L. L. Zamenhof from Poland was among the men who pursue this dream. He developed Esperanto(世界语)between 1877 and 1885.

       As the most successful man-made world language, it is spoken by over two million people around the world. Last month, the World Esperanto Congress(大会), dealing with language rights, ended in Sweden. Most Esperanto speakers are in Central and Eastern Europe and in East Asia, particularly Chinese mainland.

       Esperanto has two advantages. First, it’s easy. Each letter has exactly one sound and there are just 16 basic grammar rules. The second advantage is that it belongs to no one country. But Esperanto has only reached a small number of people compared with natural languages widely used around the world---such as English or Chinese. While these languages are deeply connected with their nations and cultures, Esperanto doesn’t have this background.

Will Esperanto really become a global language? It remains a question.

72.   The writer tells us a story at the beginning to___________.

A.explain why men have been making the effort to create a language shared by all

B.explain why men now speak different languages

C.show the relationship between man and God

D.prove that language is very important

73.   What does the underlined word “pursue” in the second paragraph mean?

A.“realize”.           B. “work for”.   C.“be against”.         D. “follow”.

74.   What is the basic difference between Esperanto and other natural languages?

A.More people speak English than Esperanto.

B.Esperanto words are easier to spell.

C.Esperanto has fewer grammar rules.

D.Esperanto is not supported by any country or culture.

75.   What does the story mainly talk about?

A.Advantages and disadvantages of Esperanto.

B.Man’s dream of sharing the same language has come true.

C.The most successfully planned language---Esperanto.

D.Comparison of Esperanto and other languages like English and Chinese.

Every Christmas, we visit my parents who live nearly 400 miles away from us. It is always 9 to 10-hour drive, but we always try to make it because that’s the only time my parents get to see their grandchildren.

    One year, I was the driver, my wife Adriana was in the passenger seat, my three kids----Jacob, Ethan and Caleb----sat in the back seat, and our dog Susie was placed by the kids’ feet.

    That year, we traveled at night to avoid the heavy holiday traffic. We left the house at about 9:00 in the evening, so we could get to my parents’ house by about 6:00 the next morning.

    The first three hours was fine. My wife and kids were all fast asleep, including Susie who was lying on Jacob’s lap. But by around 1 am, I was very sleepy. So I stopped at a small convenience store and tried to wake myself up with a cup of coffee. The coffee helped for several miles. But soon I was drifting in and out of sleep. I closed my eyes for what felt like a very short moment. What I didn’t know was that I was slowly driving towards the other lane and that a truck was coming quickly towards us.

    I had fallen asleep at the wheel when Susie roughly woke me up by jumping onto my lap. When I opened my eyes, I saw the glaring headlights of the truck heading towards our car. I quickly drove the car back to our lane. I had narrowly missed hitting the truck and getting my family into what could have been a very serious accident.

    I checked everyone to see if they were OK, and they were still fast asleep. I drove the rest of the distance very alert and awake. As soon as we got there, I told my wife, my kids and my parents what Susie had done and we could not have been more proud of our dog.

B. Because his parents don’t like the 400-mile travel.

C. Because he missed his parents very much.

D. Because his parents can only see their grandchildren at that time.

57. What did the author do to wake himself up during the journey?

   A. He got off the car to breathe the fresh air.

   B. He stopped to have a cup of coffee.

   C. He talked with his wife and children.

   D. He stopped every few miles.

58. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

   A. the author’s wife and kids had no idea about the narrow escape during the journey

   B. the author was so frightened by the truck that he could hardly drive for the rest of the

journey

   C. no one but Susie kept awake for the whole journey

   D. the author had never experienced a car accident before

59. The passage tells us a story about ______.

   A. a poor driver’s first driving experience

   B. how the author’s family spent their Christmas

   C. how a dog saved a whole family

   D. the disadvantages of driving at night
