A few months ago, Jason asked his parents to buy him a computer. All his friends

already had one, so his mom and dad agreed. During the first few weeks, Jason spent a

lot of time in front of his computer because he had to learn how it worked. He was

really interested in learning all about it and he even started writing computer programs

himself.

One day Jason found a website where he could play chess either against the

computer or against other people from all over the world. From then on, Jason seemed

to have just one interest in life, his computer. Whenever his parents told him that he

was spending too much time with his computer, Jason went into denial. He did not

think that he had a problem at all.

Then the unthinkable happened ：Jason's computer broke down. But his parents

decided not to buy him a new one. Jason said that he needed a computer for school,

and he promised that he'd spend less time with it. But his parents refused to give in.

Finally, Jason felt so hopeless that he took the only way out and killed himself.

Robert Johnson, a psychologist on the subject, says, "Computer addiction is an

illness that can influence anyone of us. Nowadays, increasing numbers of people are

spending more and more time working with computers. While this isn't a problem for

most users, some people, especially teenagers, often use the computer to get away

from the real world. This is especially true of shy people. For them, meeting people

online is a way of hiding their true selves. In cyberspace , they can be whoever they

want to be and create their own virtual world. But what happens when they can no

longer enter their virtual world? "

24. Why did Jason want to buy a computer according to Paragraph 1?

A. To play chess. B. To avoid being an outsider(外人).

down?

Proudly reading my words, I looked around the room, only to find my classmates

bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and Miss Lancelot stone-faced.

I slowly raised the report, hoping to hide myself and burning to find out “What could

be causing everyone to act this way?”

Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the

first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and

find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history

came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name

before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two

people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented

hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I

stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather

for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the

peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut

butter, George Washington Carver.

When another classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on

George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” How could I

know that she meant that George Washington?

Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I talked to Miss

Lancelot, but she insisted: no re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not

justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself

heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance

unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather and

the headmaster informed me of his approval that I could skip the sixth grade. Justice is

sweet!

28.What did the author’s classmates think about his report?

A. Puzzling. B. Controversial. C. Moving. D. Amusing.

29. What does the underlined word “burning” in Para. 1 probably mean?

A. Ashamed. B. Eager. C. Annoyed. D. Ready.

30. Why was the author confused about the task?

A. He followed the advice to flip a coin.

B. He was a new comer to the school.

C. He knew little about American history.

D. The teacher’s instruction was unclear.

31. Why did the author say “Justice is sweet”?

A. His efforts were recognized by school. B. The punishment was reasonable

C. He was allowed to redo the test. D. He was devoted to his studies.

Imagine that the genome (基因组) is a book. The book consists of 23 chapters,

with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels.

There are one billion words in the book, which makes it longer than 500 dictionaries.

If I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a

day, it would take me a century. If I wrote out the human genome, one letter per

millimeter, my text would be as long as the River Danube. This enormous document,

however, all fits inside the extremely small nucleus ( 核) of a tiny cell that fits easily

upon the head of a pin (针尖).

The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor ( 比

喻). It is true to a great extent. A book is a piece of digital information, written in one-

directional form and controlled by a system that translates a small alphabet ( 字母表)

of letters into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings. So is

a genome. The only difference is that all English books read from left to right, while

some parts of the genome read from left to right, and some from right to left, though

never both at the same time.

While English books are written in words of different lengths using twenty-six

letters, genomes are written entirely in three-letter words, using only four letters. And

instead of being written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA

molecules (分子). The genome is a very clever book, because in the right conditions it

can both photocopy itself and read itself.

32.What facts do you know about the genome?

A. It is extremely long. B. It has 23 chapters.

C. It is on the pin head. D. It is in the cell nucleus.

33.In what sense is the genome like a book?

A.Both are read from left to right. B. Both have digital images.

C.Both have a translation system. D. Both are grouped by subject.

34.What can we know about genomes from paragraph 3?

A.They are made up of DNA. B. They are written on flat pages.

C.They are nearly of the same length. D. They can reproduce each other.

35. Why did the writer make a comparison of the genome to a book?

A.To give different description B. To simplify the concept.

C.To emphasize the similarities. D. To focus on the differences.
