Interact use appears to cause a drop in psychological health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University.

Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more bad feelings and loneliness than those who was online less frequently, the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.

The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in psychological health, researchers hypothesized (推测). Faceless, bodiless“virtual”(虚的) communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.

“But it' s important to remember this is not about the technology, it' s about how it is used,”says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study' s sponsors (发起人). "It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology. "

2. What had the researchers expected before the research?

A) The Net may account for the drop in psychological health.

B) Internet use may improve social health.

C) Internet use has nothing to do with social health.

D) Spending much time on the Internet makes people feel bad and lonely.

3. Which is not true according to the passage?

A) The Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.

B) Internet communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation.

C) Undeveloped Internet technology causes the drop in psychological health.

D) The wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.

4. What does Christine Riley, the psychologist, suggest?

A) It's necessary to take social factors into account in designing applications and services for technology.

B) It's important to tell the users how to design and apply the technology.

C) Compared with social factors, the technology itself has more influence on the Internet users.

D) No social factors should be considered in applications and services for technology.

5. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?

A) How to Use the Internet

B) Disadvantages of the Internet

参考译文

根据Carnegie Mellon大学的研究，网络的使用似乎能造成人的心理健康水平下降。

历时两年的研究表明，即便是一周只上几个小时网的人也比更不经常上网的人更多地体会到坏心情和孤独感。研究者对这一结果大惑不解，因为这与他们所预料的情况完全相反。因为网络能使人选择信息并与他人交流，所以他们期望网络比电视更能使社会和谐。

研究者推测，网络的使用减少了可用于与家人及朋友相处的时间，这一事实可能是造成心理健康下降的原因。不见面而且无形的虚拟交流在心理满足方面比不上真实对话，而且通过虚拟交流建立的关系更肤浅。另一个可能性是网络使用者可以接触更宽广的世界反而对自己的生活感到不满。

研究的发起人之一，英特尔心理学家Christine Riley说：“要记得有一点很重要：这并非技术的错，而是人们怎样利用它。它确实暗示出在如何设计技术应用和技术服务方面考虑社会因素的必要性。”

1.【答案精解】D。细节题。从第一句Internet use appears to cause a drop in psychological health，according to research at Carnegie Mellon University我们可以得出研究的结果是网络造成人的心理健康下降。

2.【答案精解】B。细节题。从文章中第二段最后一句They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television可得出B为正确答案。

3.【答案精解】C。判断题。对照原文，只有选项C没有被提及，其他三项在原文中都可找到。A项源自第二段最后一句，B项与第三段第二句相对应，D项源自第三段最后一句。

4.【答案精解】A。细节题。在文章中Christine Riley所说的话“It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology.”可以直接得出答案。

5.【答案精解】D。主旨题。文章的中心思想是网络给人造成的坏心情及产生这一结果的原因，所以最佳标题是“网络可能导致坏心情”。

Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem-how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bubs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no conventional fuel is needed to make the campus's six buildings comfortable.

Some parts of most modern buildings-theaters and offices as well as classrooms are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called "heat recovery." A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University's system is the first to recover heat from some buildings and re-use it in others.

Along the way, pit has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. (76) Male students emit more heat than female students, and the larger a student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hardworking, overweight male genius.

1. Until recently, body heat has caused problems because it ______.

A. was difficult to collect

B. came in a variety of forms

C. was difficult to get rid of

D. tended to be absorbed by physical objects

2. Which of the following is true of the heating system of the Johnstown campus?

A. The heat is supplied by human bodies only.

B. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and other heat-emitting objects.

C. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and conventional fuel.

D. The heat is supplied by human bodies, other heat-emitting objects, and conventional fuel.

3.The phrase "even in winter" (in line 8) most nearly means ______.

A. if the winter is especially warm

B. during all of the year except the winter

C. in the winter as well as in other seasons

D. during the evenings in the winter

4. The phrase "heat recovery" refers to a ______.

A. method of concealing the source of heat

B. special form of air conditioning

C. supplementary hot water system

D. way of reclaiming and re-using heat

5. According to the passage which of the following would produce the LEAST amount of heat?

A. A fat female who studies hard.

B. A thin female who does not study.

C. A fat male who does not study.

D. A thin male who studies hard.

一、文章大意和总体结构分析

这篇文章，向我们介绍了一种全新的能量利用方式，收集人体热能用于供热。在大力提倡环保的当今社会，这种能源的回收再利用意义重大，这篇文章开阔了学生的视野。

文章的开头作者便提出身体热能这个人人皆知的概念，虽然我们知道身体会排除热量，但是却从未想过去利用这些热量。第二句作者便将读者带入一个全新的视角，即如何在生活中利用这些热量。匹兹堡大学的例子很好地证明了人体热量的利用价值。

接下来，作者比较详细地介绍了这种利用人体热量的系统，即热量回收再利用，并指出已经有一些大楼正在利用这种自然、环保的资源。

最后一段，作者向我们介绍了一项有趣的研究成果，即身体强壮、学习刻苦的男性会排放出更多的热量。

二、试题详解

1.C 答案是开头的第二句：The usual problem is how to dispose of it。Dispose of "处理解决"。

2.B 答案在第一段的第三句中。他们设计了一种收集系统，它不但利用身体的热，还收集由灯泡、冰箱等散发出来的热。有了这两种热能，作者指出在校园中已无需任何conventional fuel

3.C 第二段中说：大多数现代化的大楼有些部分-戏院、办公室以及教室是用人体和灯光的热来供热的，有时候甚至在冬天的空调也是由它们来供热。Even意为"甚至"。

4.D 回收再利用热能。此题考察学生对全文的总结能力，以及reclaim和re-use的词义。

5.B 最后一段倒数第二句说：男学生发出的热量比女生发出的热量多，学生体重越重产生的热量越多。学习刻苦的比学习不刻苦的产生的热量多。所以最瘦的女生产生的热量最少。

Directions：Read the texts in which five people are commenting on a magazine article called “The Global Fish Crisis”. For question 36 to 40, match the name of each person (36 to 40) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers ANSWER SHEET.

Charles Swecker:

Thank you for getting it right in your articles on how to make a better student. As an educator, I' m sure I speak for others in saying parents who encourage learning at home ultimately have kids who perform at a higher level in class. School systems have been trying to get that message out for years. Imagine, excellent teachers working with students who have a drive and desire to learn. What a perfect world!

Sandy Simonson:

The students you pictured have positive attitudes; they expect to work hard on their own. Consequently, the effort they put in produces positive results. But my sons are different. They see their parents read. They were read to at home. We’ve encouraged and praised the genuine efforts they’ve made. But the bottom line for my sons is that until something fires them up from within, they are content to do as little work as possible.

Bridget Boyle:

Parents should do these things to make their child a better student: turn off the television. Fill every room with books. Play, read, travel, and then read some more with your kids. If reading be-comes the primary form of entertainment in the home, youngsters will turn to books. It was my pleasure to catch them reading on their own. Killing our television was the best thing we ever did.

Deborah Curtin:

Your report provided a glimpse into the life of young geniuses, but nobody made these kids better students. Each one can obviously grasp any task. Each could have been left in a box with a book and would have ended up self-taught. You did, however, confirm my belief that most teachers are only capable of communicating information to ready-made A students. Of course, there are a few good teachers, but they cannot overcome the defective system we have.

Alan Holman:

I don’t think that the success of students really depends on marks. I just finished writing my second average-length stage play, which is going to be produced at my high school. And I' m also playing a part in Hamlet. Despite all these really great things, my marks in school are really bad. I pay more attention to my hobbies than to school, and it’s actually getting mc somewhere. So marks aren't everything.

Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.

Note: there are two extra statements.

Statements

36. Charles Swecker

Directions：Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words，in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use you own words.

Beijing has extended its ban on operating outdoor barbecues from the city center outward to selected suburbs，according to municipal authorities.

A year ago，Beijing banned restaurants from operating outdoor barbecues within the fourth ring road area. And now，the ban has extended to several suburbs，including Mentougou，Fangs- han，Tongzhou，Shunyi，Daxing，Pinggu and Miyun.

The barbecue ban was announced to reduce Beijing‘ s air pollution，as barbecue has long been accused as one of the major contributors to haze.

According to Wang Yuesi，a researcher from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Chinese Academy of Sciences，barbecuing can generate a lot of PM 2.5， harmful airborne particles measur- ing less than 2.5 microns in diameter.

“Considering the seriousness of the air pollution in Beijing，we have to ban everything that may do harm to our environment”Wang said.

The issue has divided Chinese netizens，as half agreed with the policy while the other half called this grand plan nothing but “empty talk. ”

A sample of comments from Weibo：“Why don‘ t those petrochemical plants，power stations and other heavy industries be banned?What is the Ministry of Environmental Protection going to do next?We still need to eat，so please allow us to cook!”

“Right decisions to resolve PM2.5 pollution problems，the option which made by governors is legalistic reserve for ‘pubhc profits’ courses，”some people said.

参考范文

Beijing has released many rules and policies to deal with the most eyecatching environmental issues now——smog. Recently， a new regulation was announced that the region of banning of outdoor barbecues is going to be ex- tended from the downtown to countryside.

The government claims barbecue causes great air pollution and is the major culprit of environmentally harmful substances to the air which meet that standard of PM 2.5.

This policy caused great controversy among the citizens in those areas. Some advocates are willing to give up their rights of enjoying the outdoor barbecue， in order to make contribution to the environment. But the others tagged this policy as “empty talk”， as they are more concerned about the pollution from the chemical toxins from the heavy industries.

In my opinion， it is essential to take some steps to protect the environment in Beijing. We should support it ff this measure show the function that keeps the air cleaner. What is more， to eat less barbecue is not a bad idea， as barbecue is not healthy.
