Childhood is a time of fun and games. Many people still remember when they were young, they often played games like hide-and-seek and chess. Playing leaches children how to get along with others, and it is helpful to children. However, children today spend most of their time playing video games in front of the computer.

A recent survey(调查) found that in the US. Children between 8 and 12 spend at least 13 hours a week playing video games or “gaming”. Boys of this age spend even more time, almost 16 hours a week. Although some people will say that gaming is helpful, it brings many problems as well.

One big problem is they may have difficulty communicating(交流) with real people. They may have trouble sharing and solving (解决)problems because they do not practice these skills when sitting alone at a computer.

Another problem is about health. Game players usually sit for hours without doing any exercise. And they may not cat healthily. As a result, their health problem will become more and more serious.

Next, game players may have trouble with their lessons. Many of them spend more time playing games than working on their homework. In the end, ______.

Finally, it is always possible that the games become addicted. Some people play four or five hours a day or even all day. This happened to a 28-year-old Korean man. He spent about 50 hours playing an online game without sleeping or eating well. He died while gaming!

This is one example of the dangers of video gaming. It tells us that we shouldn't spend too much time on it. A few hours a week should not hurt, but several hours a day may be dangerous to your health.

47. How many problems about playing video games are mentioned in the passage?

C. they may stop playing games.               D. they may become ill.       

49. What does the underlined word “addicted" mean in Chinese?

A.悲伤        B.无聊        C.成感        D.沮丧       

50.What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage?

My daughter gave me an address book for my birthday. She knows the one I have is old. The gilt is lovely: the cover is colourful, and the pages are white. But I don't feel like I am free to use this new address book because I'm still tied to my old one.

My address book tells my own story-the way I moved around. Names were added in different colours from different periods of my life. When I moved back home to Niagara, my address book included the old information I needed in order to be able to get in touch with some of my old friends again.

There are certainly stories of friendships in this book--the comings and goings of my friends. Their address has been corrected again and again, filling up one line after another. I have started using pencil for some of them because they are taking up too much space! Some friends went on to marry each other. For such things, I used arrows (箭头) to show how these two families had become one. Children's names were added one by one. Then some got their own lines as they moved out.

This book also includes the stories of my family-two generations(一代人) of relatives. I can remember all their phone numbers, and I can picture their houses in detail. Some have died, but their addresses are still there in my book.

“Don't you have all that on your phone?” My daughter, who never uses address books, asked me once when she saw me checking my address book. I know that having it on a phone is super useful and can save a lot of trouble. But making changes on a phone is always done completely. When you don't see a person any more, you delete (删除) all his information. It's like he was never there.

My old address book now sits on top of the new one. The magnet(磁铁) on its cover is as strong as ever, keeping all the people from A to Z in order. But my new address book whispers a story of new possibilities. It offers me space for those new friends that I haven't met yet. I'll get to it. It's just a matter of time.

51. The old information in the old address book can help the writer______.

 A. move back home to Niagara                B. connect with old friends again

C.move around the world                     D. make more new friends

52. The writer drew arrows in his address book when ______.

A. two strangers became friends             B. two friends became husband and wife

C.a friend of hers gave birth to a child        D. a friend of hers moved to a new place

53. What can we infer(推断) from the last paragraph?

A. The writer doesn't like the new address book.

B. The writer will start to use the new address book soon.

C. The writer has decided to throw her old address book away.

D. The writer decides to put all her friends' information into a phone.

54. What is the proper structure of the passage?

A.①--②③④⑤--⑥   B.①②③--④--⑤⑥   C. ①②--③④--⑤⑥   D.①--②③④--⑤--⑥

五、信息还原。阅读下面短文，从短文后的六个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项(每个选项只能用一次)。(每小题1.5分，共6分)

Friends play an important role in our lives. Although we may take friendship as a common thing. it's not always easy to know how to be there for your friends. Here are some ways to keep your friendship.

Listen to your friends

Try to understand your friends from their places.____55____. You don't have to give all the answers when they have problems, and they may just want to talk so that they can work it out by themselves.

Ask your friends what they need

If you're worried about your friends and want to be there for them, maybe you want to do something helpful in your own way.____56____. You'll then know what your friends think is helpful to them, and you can give them help in a way that they want.

Keep in touch

Unluckily, sometimes you don't live close to your friends and worry about losing your friends.____57____. Using the Internet or writing letters can also help your friends know you care about each other just like before.

Get ready to make unwelcome call

If you think your friends are in danger, you need to take action at once. You should call them time by time, although it can be unwelcome call. But don't worry about that____58____. Remember that good friends care enough to get closer.

55.__________    56.__________    57.__________    58.__________

六、综合填空(每小题1分，共10分)

Friends are important for everyone,but___59___ is not easy to find true friends. For most students, true friends are harder to find. ___60___you have some good friends, you should do your best to keep your friendship.

People like friends with the similar interests. You can spend happy and colourful time together, and share your___6l___(feel) about your interests. However, you don't have to be ___62___ same as your friends all the time. You may have different ideas and habits. Then tying to understand and respect (尊重) each other seems___63___ (be) more important.

The way you talk with your friends is important. You can ask questions to help them start and keep___64___(talk). But don't ask personal questions, such___65___their parents' jobs. These questions will make them feel unhappy. In that way, you may lose some friends and you may also get ___66___(few) friends than others.

Another important thing is listening. Listen carefully when your friend___67___(talk). It doesn't have to be with words. Body language can be enough to show that you're listening. Talk about your ideas after your friend finishes his talking.
