However, there are many arguments on whether computer games are advantageous to people or not. ‎ ‎　　Many people doubt if computer games can actually be used in educational purposes, for example typing games to allow students to learn typing English or Chinese. Also another advantage of computer game is that the games may be played together among friends or family members, which may improve the relationship between family members and allow parents to know more about their children on their hobbies and interests. ‎ ‎　　However, computer games can also have very bad effects on human beings. Firstly spending long time in front of the computer screen will bring various health problems, such as eye sore, back pain and headache. Also if people spend too much time on computer games rather than the work they should do, for example school work for students and projects for employees, it may have bad effects on their real life and social life status. ‎ It is true for everything that it is useful if used properly, therefore although computer games are widely said to be bad for people, it can still be used as a good tool if used correctly. ‎ ‎25 Why are there many arguments on playing computer games according to the passage? ‎ A. Because it is young people’s hobbies. ‎ B. Because it is good for people. ‎ C. Because it can affect people differently. ‎ D. Because it is bad for people. ‎ ‎26.

To let us know we should give up the computer games. ‎ C ‎ After years of heated discussion, gray wolves were introduced to Yellowstone National Park again. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.‎ Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.‎ The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk ‎ populations — major food sources (来源) for the wolf – grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’ s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’ s beavers.‎ As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.‎ The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.‎ ‎29.What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Wildlife research in the United States.‎ B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.‎ C. The disappearance of gray wolves.‎ D.

An increase in plants ‎ B.A decline in the park’s income.‎ C. Damage to the balance of local ecology. ‎ D.An increase in the variety of all the animals.‎ ‎ D ‎　With the press of a button, a person with severe spinal cord(脊柱)injury is able to walk again, thanks to the Walking Assistive Exoskeleton Robot(WAER). ‎ Powered suits that could help paralyzed(瘫痪)people walk and others lift and carry heavy loads with ease have been a dream since late 19th century. But they can realize their dreams in the 21st century. ‎ The 20-kilogram robot has four battery-powered motors that can run for up to three hours. Inventor Wu Chenghua, from Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute, says it has successfully been in tests on 12 patients. “We have learned from our research process that patients whose injuries are below the fourth chest joint(关节)are able to use our robot to stand, walk and sit down, ”he said. ‎ Since walking contributes to muscle exercise, Wu says patients receive some additional benefits. “In the clinical process, we would check their bone mineral density(密度), and we found that the bone mineral densities of these patients had been improved. ”he said. Wu says his exoskeleton may be sold in the markets by 2020. ‎ Meanwhile, baggage handlers at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport will soon start testing a similar robot, developed by the Japanese firm Cyberdyne. “The battery-powered robot weighs only 3 kilograms and it can lift a heavy object, the machine monitors the movement”, says Yoshiyuki Sankai, the developer and CEO of Cyberdyne. ‎ ‎“This robot suit monitors the signal from the human nerve(神经)system to support the waist’s (腰部) movement, ”Sankai said. “It self adjusts the level support to reduce the load on the human waist, light and smart. We believe that it will change the life of paralyzed people in many ways and have a bright future. ”‎ ‎32. With the help of WAER, patients will probably　　　. ‎ A. have got spinal cord injury B. improve their bone mineral density C. walk as fast as normal people D. monitor their back ’s movement ‎33. What can we learn about the invention of Wu Chenghua’s in the passage? ‎ A. It weighs 3 kilograms and can run for up to three hours. ‎ B. It will soon get tested at 12 doctors.‎ C. It may be bought in the markets by the year 2028. ‎ D. It can be used by patients with injuries below the fourth chest joint. ‎ ‎34. How does Sankai feel about the future of the robot suits? ‎ A. Optimistic. B. Worried. ‎ C. Doubtful. D. Puzzled. ‎ ‎35. What’s the main idea of the passage? ‎ A. WAER is better than the robot developed by Cyberdyne. ‎ B. The dream to cure cancer people by robot has been realized. ‎ C. Powered robot suits will soon become all the patients’suits. ‎ D. Two similar robot suits have been developed to help people.‎ 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)‎ ‎　　根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Everyone has worries, but what do you do with your worries?
