In fact, they like them so much that they might hear something like this from mom or dad: Enough! Unplug that thing and find something else to do!It can be good advice, even if you were just about to crash through to the next level. Why? Too much of anything is just too much. Its true that some studies have shown certain video games can improve hand-eye coordination, problem-solving skills, and the minds ability to process information. But too much video game playing can cause health problems.Its hard to get enough active play and exercise if youre always inside playing video games. And without enough exercise, kids can become overweight.Really overdoing video games also could affect other important stuff, like friendships and how well a kid does in school. And its still unclear what effect violent and disturbing games have on a persons brain.But heres the good news: Playing video games some of the time can be OK. Just aim for no more than 1 or 2 hours a day and choose quality games.A good game will be the right one for how old you are. Games are rated like movies and your mom or dad can help figure out which ones you should use. If you can choose one that gets you up and moving, thats even better.You might challenge your mom, dad, or even your grandma to swing the bat in a game of baseball or try out some fancy moves in one of the dancing games. Could your grandma be a dancing queen? Time to find out!1. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the first paragraph?A.

Or if you do get sick, should you follow the old saying, Feed a cold and starve a fever?And what about a fever? Should you take medication to reduce your temperature, or is it better to let the body treat the infection itself?Everyone seems to have an answer. But how much value is there in popular wisdom?Doctor Nelson El Amin says research may be just starting to provide evidence for long-held beliefs. For example, scientists for years dismissed the idea that getting cold and wet might cause colds or flu.But recent studies have shown that cold temperatures cause stress on the body. That stress can create conditions more inviting to viruses. So maybe it does make sense to wrap up warmly before going outside.And what about the advice to feed a cold and starve a fever? Doctor Nelson El Amin says if you have a cold and are hungry, you should eat. But a fever, especially a high one, suggests a more serious problem. He says people are usually not hungry anyway when they have a high fever. Eating might even cause a person to vomit. But drinking plenty of liquids is important. A fever can easily dehydrate the body.Finally, when should you treat a fever? Doctor Nelson El Amin says a fever should be treated if it stays at forty degrees centigrade or above for a day or more. A temperature that high can damage brain cells. The doctor also believes in treating a fever if it prevents a person from sleeping.Aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen can all be used to reduce pain and fever. But aspirin should not be given to children because it can cause a rare condition.One belief that Doctor Nelson El Amin wanted to make clear is wrong is that influenza vaccine can cause the flu. It cannot. Sometimes people get the flu from another person soon after they get vaccinated, so they blame the vaccine, he says.1. Which of the following beliefs is absolutely wrong?A. Feed a cold and starve a feverB. Influenza vaccine can cause the fluC. Dressing warmly will help prevent a cold D. Getting cold and wet might cause colds of flu2. Which of the following is the evidence for the old advice that dressing warmly will help prevent a cold?A. A fever can easily dehydrate the body.B. Eating might even cause a person to vomit.C. Cold temperatures cause stress on the body. D. A temperature that high can damage brain cells.3. If a child gets a fever at forty degrees centigrade for a day, he should_A. take aspirinB. get vaccinatedC. take acetaminophen of ibuprofenD. let the body treat the infection itself4. What can be inferred from the passage?A. There is no value in popular wisdom B. It is dangerous to believe the old advice, not to mention following them C. People who believe the old popular wisdom are more likely to get flu.D. Some of the old advice does make sense.第四部分：词汇（每题0.5分，共12分）1. 粗野的 _ _ _ _ _ 2. 奢侈的，浪费的 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3. 贫困 _ _ _ _ _ _ _4. 同事_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _5. 不合逻辑的 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _6. 美味，佳肴 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _7. 滥用；虐待；辱骂 _ _ _ _ _ 8. 骷髅 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _9. 不表同情的，无动于衷的 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _10. 给人深刻印象的 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _11. 预期，预料 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12. 哲学家 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _13. 尊严 _ _ _ _ _ _ _14. 蔑视 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15. 嫉妒的
