Concerns about gossip could influence behavior, including generosity, researchers said. “As it turns out, the act of gossip can indeed be quite powerful,“ sai
18、d Jared Piazza of Queen“s University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Piazza and Jesse M. Beringa studied the 1 of 72 college students who were asked to distribute tokens (代金券) with a monetary value between themselves and someone else. Half of the group were 2 told their decision would be discussed wit

20、the study published in the journal Human Behavior . They added that the most 5 strategy from an economic standpoint would have been for a student to 6 all 10 tokens to him or herself, but the threat of gossip seemed to have 7 their decision. Although gender did not play a major role in the study, me

23、ntal-health specialists disagree over whether to classify compulsive online behaviour as addictionand how to treat it. Craig Smallwood, a disabled American war veteran, spent more than 20,000 hours over five years playing an online role-playing game called “Lineage II“. When NCsoft, the South Korean
24、 firm behind the game, accused him of breaking the game“s roles and banned him, he was plunged into depression, severe paranoia (偏执) and hallucinations (幻想). He spent three weeks in hospital. After that, he sued NCsoft for fraud and negligence (过失), demanding over $9m in damages and claiming that th
25、e company acted negligently by failing to warn him of the danger that he would become “addicted“ to the game. B. But does it make sense to talk of addiction to online activity? Mental-health specialists say three online behaviors can become problematic for many people: video games, pornography (色情作品
26、) and messaging via e-mail and social networks. But there is far less agreement about whether any of this should be called “Internet addiction“or how to treat it. C. Some mental-health specialists wanted “Internet addiction“ to be included in the fifth version of psychiatry“s bible, the “Diagnostic
27、and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders“, known as DSM-V, which is currently being overhauled (全面修订). The American Medical Association endorsed (赞成) the idea in 2007, only to backtrack (放弃) days later. The American Journal of Psychiatry called Internet addiction a “common disorder“ and supported
28、its recognition. Last year the DSM-V drafting group made its decision: Internet addiction would not be included as a “behavioral addiction“only gambling made the cutbut it said further study was necessary. D. Skeptics say there is nothing uniquely addictive about the Internet. Back in 2000, Joseph W
29、alther, a communications professor at Michigan State University, co-wrote an article in which he suggested, tongue in cheek, that the criteria used to call someone an Internet addict might also show that most professors were “addicted“ to academia (学术活动). He argued that other factors, such as depres
30、sion, are the real problem. He stands by that view today. “No scientific evidence has emerged to suggest that Internet use is a cause rather than a consequence of some other sort of issue,“ he says. “Focusing on and treating people for Internet addiction, rather than looking for underlying clinical
31、issues, is definitely unwise.“ E. Others disagree. “That would be wrong,“ says Kimberly Young, a researcher and therapist who has worked on Internet addiction since 1994. She insists that the Internet, with its powerfully immersive environments, creates new problems that people must learn to navigat
32、e (应对). Otherwise, the changing lifestyle will affect the development of the society. F. No one disputes that online habits can turn toxic. Take South Korea, where widespread broadband means that the average high-school student plays video games for 23 hours each week. In 2007 the government estimat
33、ed that around 210,000 children needed treatment for Internet addiction. In 2010 newspapers around the globe carried the story of a South Korean couple who fed their infant daughter so little that she starved to death. Instead of caring for the child, the couple spent most nights at an Internet caf,
34、 sinking hours into a role-playing game in which they raised, fed and cared for a virtual daughter. And several South Korean men have died from exhaustion after marathon, multi-day gaming sessions. G. The South Korean government has since asked game developers to adopt a gaming curfew (宵禁) for child
35、ren, to prevent them playing between midnight and 8 a.m. At the same time, it has also opened more than 100 clinics for Internet addiction and sponsored an “Internet rescue camp“ for serious cases. H. But compulsive behaviour is not limited to gamers. E-mail or web-use behaviours can also show signs
36、 of addiction. Getting through a business lunch in which no one pulls out a phone to check their messages now counts as a minor miracle in many quarters. A deluge (泛滥) of self-help books, most recently “Alone Together“ by Sherry Turkle, a social scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
37、, offer advice on how to unplug (去除障碍). I. Pornography is hardly new, either, but the Internet makes accessing it much easier than ever before. When something can be summoned in an instant via broadband, whether it is a game world, an e-mail inbox or pornographic material, it is harder to resist. Ne
38、w services lead to new complaints. When online auction sites first became popular, talk of “eBay addiction“ soon followed. Dr. Young says women complain to her now about addiction to Facebookor even to “Farm Ville“, a game playable only within Facebook. J. Treatment centres have popped up around the
39、 world with the popularity of online games. In 2006 Amsterdam“s Smith it only tightens it. Students find the preparatory method helpful in the examinations. They read over the questions before trying to answer any of them. Then they answer first the ones of which they are most confident. Meanwhile,
40、deeper mental activities in the subconscious mind are taking place; work is being done on the more difficult questions. By the time the easier questions are answered, answers to the more difficult ones will usually begin to come into consciousness. It is often just a question of waiting for recall t
41、o come to the memory. What“s the passage about? 解析 1四项均为名词或名词性短语。 2三项含有与人的意识有关的词汇(recalling，memory，conscience，mind)。 结论：本题可能考查短文的主旨，其内容与意识有关。 不少人都有过这样的经历：当你想叫出某人的名字时，却突然想不起来了。本篇短文以此为引子，介绍了唤醒记忆的方法，并以学生在考试时答题的过程为例进行具体讲解，可见短文主要论述的是如何唤醒记忆。故选 A。A.From the ones they are familiar with to the difficult ones
42、.B.From the short ones to the long ones.C.From the complicated ones to the easy ones.D.From the ones they are confident of to the more difficult ones. 解析：听力原文 According to the passage, what kind of order do students usually follow when they answer questions in exams? 解析 1四项均为 from.to.结构。 2四项均提及 ones
43、，其中两项包含一对反义词(short/long，complicated/easy)。 结论：本题可能考查做某事的先后顺序，需注意辨别 ones指代何物。 题干问学生在考试答题时往往依照怎样的顺序。短文后半部分提到，学生总是先做那些自己最有把握的题目，等这些比较简单的题目答完了，那些较难题目的答案也就想起来了。可见学生答题的顺序是由易到难，故选 D。A 项中的 familiar表述不够准确，可排除。A.When you can“t recall something instantly, you should try your best to do it.B.When you can“t reca
44、ll something instantly, you“d better have an operation on your mind.C.The subconscious activities may go to work to dig up a dim memory. D.Forcing yourself to recall may loosen your memory.解析：听力原文 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? 解析 1四项均为成分完整的句子，其中两项以 when开头。 2三项含有第二人称代词(you，
45、yourself)。 3四项均含有与记忆、回忆相关的词汇(recall，mind，subconscious，memory)。 结论：结合以上三点以及选项的结构来看，本题可能考查说法正误，需结合原文信息一一进行辨别。 短文中间部分提到，最初试图进行回忆的努力使意识准备好开始运转，但是，是潜意识活动负责去挖掘模糊的记忆。强迫自己去回忆几乎从来都不会奏效，因为这样做非但不会使你的意识放松，而且会使其更紧张。故选 C。十一、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十二、Section A(总题数：1，分数：35.00)Worried about what people are
