A

 One day, when we had been riding in the burning sun for five hours, we came to a narrow, shaky bridge where a railways crossed a stagnant pond (发臭的池塘)。 For 30 feet there was nothing but the widely-spaced wooden sleepers（枕木）under ore wheels, and nothing to stop us from falling into the steaming bog (沼泽) below if we overbalanced. Right under the bridge lay the bridge and rode straight over, without even slowing down. I stopped.

  “What’s up?” he shouted, from the other side.

  “I’m not riding over that thing. If I fall, I’ll be there with that cow!”

  “There’s nothing to it. I just did it, didn’t I?”

  “You’re stronger and taller. My feet can’t touch the ground. You do it for me!”

  Mat said strength didn’t come into it and rode off, leaving me staring down into the sickly brown soup. He would be waiting for me around the next corner, but I knew he would give me at least an hour before coming to help. The sun burned my face; sweat ran off my forehead into my eyes and stuck my shirt to my body; mosquitoes flew into my mouth when I breathed. To stand still in this place was to kill myself; anyway, to sit around waiting for Mat to help was more than my feminist (女权主义) pride could take. I rode back along the track a few hundred yards to get a good run-up, and over I went. Mat was right. All the obstacles were in my mind.

The author stopped near the bridge because ______.

She was tired and wanted to have a rest

She found a dead cow under the bridge

She was afraid of falling off the bridge

She didn’t know how to cross the bridge

Why did Mat refuse to help the author?

A. He wanted to finish the journey as soon as possible

B. He felt she should overcome her fear by herself

C. He didn’t believe she was really afraid

D. He knew she was too proud to accept his help

What does the underlined part “sickly brown soup” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. The body of a dead cow        B. The mud on the wheals

C. The dirty water in the pond      D. The author’s food for the journey

59. According to the last paragraph, the author seems to believe that ______.

   A. nothing is difficult to the man who will try

   B. a friend in need is a friend indeed

   C. you can’t make something out of nothing

   D. well begun is half done

D

More and more teenage addicts in Korea are refusing to leave their bedrooms and some young adults are playing fantasy games online until they literally drop dead. "He didn't adapt very easily into high school," said Chu Dong-jiu, whose son, Jae--yun, 17, cruises football websites 12 to 14 hours a day. "That was why he dropped out. Now he spends all the time he is not eating on the computer. He hasn't been out of the house for eight months."

    Eighty percent of South Koreans have broadband internet, the highest rate in the world. In Britain the figure is less than a third. This is partly the result of its intense, science-based schooling.  But according to Dr. Kim Hyun-soo, chairman of the Association of Internet Addiction Psychiatrists, an "education frenzy (狂怒)" has undermined children's self-confidence and forced them to seek escape elsewhere.

    Children, many tutored beyond school, enjoy little free time outside home, driving them into the solitary solace(安慰) of the computer, he said. “What children do on the Internet reflects what they want in reality,” he said. “The dreams they pursue are the dreams they would pursue in ordinary life.”

    The most common obsession(迷住，困扰) is with online games in which players become fantasy figures in landscapes pitted with foes and obstacles. One 28-year-old young man collapsed and died last year after playing a game non-stop for 50 hours in an Internet cafe. Doctors said he died from exhaustion and dehydration (脱水). Studies show five percent of "gamers” are seriously addicted, with a further 15 ~ 20 percent betraying signs of an unhealthy obsession. Gamers make up 90 percent of Dr. Kim's patients, often referred to him by mental hospitals to which parents had taken their children. The other l0 percent are guilty of freakish (异想天开的)and anti-social behaviour on websites. "These people are very frustrated inside and full of anger," he said.

    The government has stepped in, banning children from Internet cafes after l0 p. m. , and sending teams of psychologists to visit them.

67. This passage mainly wants to tell us that________

   A. Internet cafes seriously do great harm to children's life

   B. lots of students in Korea escape into Internet fantasy

   C. why more and more children in Korea like Internet cafes

   D. the government should take immediate actions against Internet cafes

68. Why did Jae-yun drop out of the school?

   A. Because his family was too poor.    B. Because he wanted to find a job earlier.

   C. Because he liked searching football websites greatly.

   D. Because he liked playing all kinds of computer games, especial]y football games.

69. According to the passage, we can infer that________.

   A. most of Dr. Kim's patients are game lovers

   B. garners make up l0 percent of Dr. Kim's patients

   C. the government in Korea hasn't taken any action to control Internet cafes so far

   D. more and more teenage addicts in Korea are refusing to leave their bedrooms

70. From what Dr. Kim said, we can conclude that_______.

   A. children who like surfing the Internet are poor at studying

   B. the Internet can help children to realize their dreams

   C. most children who often go to Internet cafes hate society

   D. the violence at school has something to do with the reasons why teenagers addict to the Internet
