Moscow, Russia (Space news) ——"The computer is a better chess player, insisted Viktor Prozorov, the loser. It seemed as if it were laughing after every good move. I know I should have beaten it for the sake of mankind (人类), but I just couldn't win", he announced and shook his head sadly. Prozorovs disappointment was shared by several grand masters who were present, some of whomwere so upset that they shouted at the machine. Many chess players said that this meant the end of chess championships (冠军) around the world, since the fun had been taken out of the game. The computer walked——or rather——rolled away with 5 000 dollars in prize money and limited its remarks to a set of noises and lights.1、Which of the following best gives the main idea of this newspaper article? ( )A、5 000 dollars goes to a computer!B、New invention : a laughing computer!C、World''s best chess player beaten!D、Computer defeats man in chess!2、How did some of the grand masters feel about the chess game between Prozorov and the computer? ( )A、They thought that the game was not fun.B、They thought that the game wasn''t fair.C、They agreed that Prozorov didn''t play well.D、They were unhappy that the cProzoro didn''t play well.3、What was it that Prozorov felt most bitter ( 痛苦 ) about?

A big focus of the criticism of computer games has concerned the content of the games being played. When the narratives of the games are analyzed they can be seen to fall into some genres.
The two genres most popular with the children I interviewed were'Plafformers' and 'Beat-them-ups'. Platform games such as Sonic and Super Mario involve leaping from platform to platform,avoiding obstacles, moving on through the levels, and progressing through the different stages of the game. Beat-them-ups are the games which have caused concern over their violent content. These games involve fights between animated characters. In many ways this violence can be compared to violence within children's cartoons where a character is hit over the head or falls of a cliff but walks away unscathed.
Controversy has occurred in part because of the intensity of the game play, which is said to spill over into children's everyday lives. There are worries that children are becoming more violent and aggressive after prolonged exposure to these games. Playing computer games involves feelings of intense frustration and anger which often expresses itself in aggressive 'yells' at the screen. It is not only the'Beat-them-up' games which produce this aggression; platform games are just as frustrating when the characters lose all their'lives' and'die' just before the end of the level is reached. Computer gaming relies upon intense concentration on the moving images on the screen and demands great hand-to-eye coordination. When the player loses and the words'Game over' appear on the screen, there is annoyance and frustration at being beaten by the computer and at having made an error. This anger and aggression could perhaps be compared to the aggression felt when playing football and you take your eye off the ball and enable the opposition to score. The annoyance experienced when defeated at a computer game is what makes gaming'addictive': the player is determined not to make the same mistake again and to have'one last go' in the hope of doing better next time.
Some of the concern over the violence of computer games has been about children who are unable to tell the difference between fiction and reality and who act out the violent moves of the games in fight on the playground. The problem with video games is that they involve children more than television or films and this means there are more implications for their social behavior. Playing these games can lead to anti-social behavior, make children aggressive and affect their emotional stability.

Text 1 Smartphones have by now been implicated in so many crummy outcomes-car fatalities,sleep disturbances,empathy loss,relationship problems,failure to notice a clown on a unicycle-that it almost seems easier to list the things they don't mess up than the things they do.Our society may be reaching peak criticism of digital devices.Even so.emerging research suggests that a kev Droblem remains underaDDreciated.It involves kids'development,but it's probably not what you think.More than screen-obsessed young children,we should be concerned about tuned-out parents.Yes,parents now have more face time with their children than did almost any parents in history.Despite a dramatic increase in the percentage of women in the workforce,mothers today astoundingly spend morc time caring for their children than mothers did in the 1960s.But the engagement between parent and child is increasingly Iow-quality,even ersatz.Parents are constantly present in their children's lives physically,but they are less emotionally attuned.To be clear,I'm not unsympathetic to parents in this predicament.My own adult children like to joke that they wouldn't have survived infancy ifl'd had a smartphone in my clutches 25 years ago.To argue that parents'use of screens is an underappreciated problem isn't to discount the direct risks screens pose to children:Substantial evidence suggests that many types of screen time（especially those involving fast-paced or violent imagery）are damaging to young brains.Today's preschoolers spend more than four hours a day facing a screen.And,since 1970,the average age of onset of"regular"screen use has gone from 4 years to just four months.Some of the newer interactive games kids play on phones or tablets may be more benign than watching TV or YouTube,in that they better mimic children's natural play behaviors.And,of course,many well-functioning adults survived a mind-numbing childhood spent watching a lot of cognitive garbage.（My mother-unusually for her time-prohibited Speed Racer and Gilligan's Island on the grounds of insipidness.That I somehow managed to watch every single episode of each show scores of times has never been explained.）Still,no one really disputes the tremendous opportunity costs to young children who are plugged in to a screen:Time spent on devices is time not spent actively exploring the world and relating to other human beings.
Which kind of game may be wholesome for kids?A.A game with limited episode.
B.A game according with their nature.
C.A game testing cognitive level.
D.A game promoting brain development.

第一篇Computer LiteracyThere is no denying that students should learn something about how computers work,just as we expect them at least to understand that the internal-combustion engine（内燃机）has something to do with burning fuel, expanding gases and pistons（活塞）being driven. For people should have some basic idea of how the things that they use do what they do.Further,students might be helped by a course that considers the computer's impact on society. But that is not what is meant by computer literacy. For computer literacy is not a form of literacy（读写能力）。It is a trade skill that should not be taught as a liberal art.Learning how to use a computer and learning how to program one are two distinct activities. A case might be made that the competent citizens of tomorrow should free themselves from their fear of computers.But this is quite different from saying that all ought to know how to program one. Leave that to people who have chosen programming as a career. While programming can be lots of fun,and while our society needs some people who are experts at it,the same is true of auto repair and violin-making.Learning how to use a computer is not that difficult,and it gets easier all the time as programs become more"user-friendly".Let us assume that in the future everyone is going to have to know how to use a computer to be a competent citizen.What does the phrase"learning to use a computer" mean? It sounds like"learning to drive a car",that is,it sounds as if there is some set of definite skills that,once acquired,enable one to use a computer.In fact,"learning to use a computer" is much more like"learning to play a game",but learning the rules of one game may not help you play a second game,whose rules may not be the same. There is no such a thing as teaching someone how to use a computer. One can only teach people to use this or that program.To be the competent citizens of tomorrow,people should_______.A:try to lay a solid foundation in computer scienceB:be aware of how the things that they use do what they do,C:learn to use a computer by acquiring a certain set of skillsD:understand that programming a computer is more essential than repairing a car

单选题Passage2 Old stereotypes diehard. Picture a video-game player and you will likely imagine a teenage boy, byhimself, compulsively hammering away at a game involving rayguns and aliensthat splatter when blasted. Ten years ago that might have borne some relationto reality. But today a gamer is as likely to be a middle-aged commuterplaying Angry Birds on hersmartphone. In America, the biggest market, the average game-player is 37 yearsold. Two-fifths are female. Over the past tenyears the video-game industry has grown from a small business to a huge, mainstreamone. With global sales of $56 billion in 2010, it is more than twice the sizeof the recorded-music industry. Despite the downturn, it is growing by almost9% a year. Is this success dueto luck or skill? The answer matters, because the rest of the entertainmentindustry has tended to treat gaming as being a lucky beneficiary of broadertechnological changes. Video gaming, unlike music, film or television, had theluck to be born digital. In fact, there is plenty for old media to learn. Video games have certainly been swept along bytwo forces: demography and technology. The first gaming generation-the childrenof the 1970s and early 1980s-is now over 30. Many still love gaming, and canafford to spend far more on it now. Meanwhile rapid improvements in computingpower have allowed game designers to offer experiences that are now often morecinematic than the cinema. But even grantedthis good fortune, the game-makers have been clever. They have reached out tonew customers with new methods. They have branched out into education,corporate training and even warfare, and have embraced digital downloads andmobile devices with enthusiasm. Though big-budget games are still popular, muchof the growth now comes from casual games that are simple, cheap and playable in shortbursts on mobile phones or in web browsers. The industry hasexcelled in a particular area-pricing. In an era when people are disinclined topay for content on the web, games publishers were quick to developfreemium models, where you rely on non-paying customers to build anaudience and then extract cash only from a fanatical few.Asgaming comes to be seen as just another medium, its tech-savvy approach could provide awelcome shot in the arm for existing media groups.The two examples in Paragraph l are used to illustrate that_____.A
video-game players tend to be olderB
females in America tend to enjoy playing video gamesC
it is hard to change old stereotypesD

单选题Passage 2Old stereotypes die hard.Picture a video-game player and you will likely imagine a teenage boy, by himself, compulsively hammering away at a game involving rayguns and aliens that splatter when blasted. Ten years ago that might have borne some relation to reality. But today a gamer is as likely to be a middle-aged commuter playing Angry Birdson her smartphone. In America, the biggest market, the average game-player is 37 years old. Two-fifths are female Over the past ten years the video-game industry has grown from a small business to a huge, mainstream one. With global sales of S56 billon in 2010, it is more than twice the size of the recorded-music industry. Despite the downturn, it is growing by almost 9% a year.Is this success due to luck or skill? The answer maters, because the rest of the entertainment industry has tended to treat gaming as being a lucky beneficiary of broader technological changes. Video gaming, unlike music, film or television, had the luck to be born digital. In fact, there is plenty for old media to learn.Video games have certainly been swept along by two forces: demography and technology. The first gaming generation the children of the 1970s and early 1980s-is now over 30. Many sill love gaming, and can afford to spend far more on it now. Meanwhile rapid improvements in computing power have allowed game designers to offer experiences that are now often more cinematic than the cinema.But even granted this good fortune, the game-makers have been clever. They have reached out to new customers with new methods. They have branched out into education, corporate training and even warfare, and have embraced digital downloads and mobile devices with enthusiasm. Though big-budget games are still popular, much of the growth now comes from casualgames that are simple, cheap and playable in short bursts on mobile phones or in web browsers.The industry has excelled in a particular area-pricing. In an era when people are disinclined to pay for content on the web, games publishers were quick to develop freemium models, where you rely on non-paying customers to build an audience and then extract cash only from a fanatical few.As gaming comes to be seen as just another medium, its tech-savvy approach could provide a welcome shot in the arm for existing media groups.What can you learn from“freemium”model？A
It makes people inclined to pay for content on the web.B
It relies on non-paying customers to make a profit.C
It makes money only from a few fanatical customers.D
It earns little for the game-publishers.
