Question

A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism（网瘾）, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit.  They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.

     Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. Such behavior has seriously affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log(写日志) on computers and spend long hours at different websites.

     They become hooked（着迷） on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.

     They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.

     Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world.

【解析】

试题分析：文章介绍了二十世纪的一种社会病---网瘾。它影响到了各年龄段的人群，是十年前没有人会想到的，介绍了青少年和在校大学生的一些情况，他们过分沉溺于网络，不能专心的学习以至于荒废了学业。同时他们通过电脑发表一些日志，整天呆在聊天室聊天，每天都生活在虚拟的世界中，失去了和朋友交流的时间等等。

1. D大意理解题。文章第一自然说明了网瘾对不同年龄段的人都有影响，第二自然段之后讲述了网瘾对青少年和大学生的负面影响，沉溺于虚拟的世界，耽误学习，缺少和朋友现实生活的沟通等等，故答案应为B。

2.B理解判断题。A 网瘾对青少年的影响是最大的，文中只说明对每个年龄段都有影响，只是第三自然段以青少年和大学生为例，并未说明大小的问题，故答案A是错误的；C选项people are addicted to games on the Internet只是其中的一个方面，不是得出的结论，只代表其中的一部分人群，故C选项是错误的；D选项虚拟的世界比现实生活更生动，更有吸引力，与文章的主旨相悖，故是错误的。They become hooked（着迷） on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school.他们着迷于电脑，逐渐地他们的社会和学校生活受到了影响，他们花费所有的时间上网不能专心于学习，影响了他们的成绩。They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes.他们在电脑前花费的时间比和他们的朋友在一起的时间更多，和他们朋友的关系也改变了，故B选项他们不能平衡现实和虚拟的生活是正确的。

3.A细节判断题。They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society. 他们有一种在聊天室里说的语言，这就导致了社会文化的改变。故B是正确的；Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world. 十年前没有人会想到这种影响。这在将来也是一个问题，这种沉溺于网络的行为正在影响到了整个世界，故答案C是正确的；从文章中他们把大部分的时间都花在了上网上，少了和朋友的沟通可知沉溺于网络的人在现实生活中不活跃是正确的。而A选项中网瘾有助于网络的发展是与文章的主旨相悖的。故A是错误的。
