D
More and more teenage addicts in Korea are refusing to leave their bedrooms and some young adults are playing fantasy games online until they literally drop dead. "He didn't adapt very easily into high school," said Chu Dong-jiu, whose son, Jae--yun, 17, cruises football websites 12 to 14 hours a day. "That was why he dropped out. Now he spends all the time he is not eating on the computer. He hasn't been out of the house for eight months."
Eighty percent of South Koreans have broadband internet, the highest rate in the world. In Britain the figure is less than a third. This is partly the result of its intense, science-based schooling.  But according to Dr. Kim Hyun-soo, chairman of the Association of Internet Addiction Psychiatrists, an "education frenzy (狂怒)" has undermined children's self-confidence and forced them to seek escape elsewhere.
Children, many tutored beyond school, enjoy little free time outside home, driving them into the solitary solace(安慰) of the computer, he said. “What children do on the Internet reflects what they want in reality,” he said. “The dreams they pursue are the dreams they would pursue in ordinary life.”
The most common obsession(迷住，困擾) is with online games in which players become fantasy figures in landscapes pitted with foes and obstacles. One 28-year-old young man collapsed and died last year after playing a game non-stop for 50 hours in an Internet cafe. Doctors said he died from exhaustion and dehydration (脫水). Studies show five percent of "gamers” are seriously addicted, with a further 15 ~ 20 percent betraying signs of an unhealthy obsession. Gamers make up 90 percent of Dr. Kim's patients, often referred to him by mental hospitals to which parents had taken their children. The other l0 percent are guilty of freakish (異想天開的)and anti-social behaviour on websites. "These people are very frustrated inside and full of anger," he said.
The government has stepped in, banning children from Internet cafes after l0 p. m. , and sending teams of psychologists to visit them.
67. This passage mainly wants to tell us that________
A. Internet cafes seriously do great harm to children's life
B. lots of students in Korea escape into Internet fantasy
C. why more and more children in Korea like Internet cafes
D. the government should take immediate actions against Internet cafes
68. Why did Jae-yun drop out of the school?
A. Because his family was too poor.    B. Because he wanted to find a job earlier.
C. Because he liked searching football websites greatly.
D. Because he liked playing all kinds of computer games, especial]y football games.
69. According to the passage, we can infer that________.
A. most of Dr. Kim's patients are game lovers
B. garners make up l0 percent of Dr. Kim's patients
C. the government in Korea hasn't taken any action to control Internet cafes so far
D. more and more teenage addicts in Korea are refusing to leave their bedrooms
70. From what Dr. Kim said, we can conclude that_______.
A. children who like surfing the Internet are poor at studying
B. the Internet can help children to realize their dreams
C. most children who often go to Internet cafes hate society
D. the violence at school has something to do with the reasons why teenagers addict to the Internet

I find it pleasant to be alone the greater part of the time; to be in company, even with the best, is soon tiresome and wasteful, and I never found a companion so companionable as solitude (獨處).
We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad than when we stay in the meeting-rooms, for solitude is not measured by the miles of space between a man and his fellows.
The farmer, who can work alone all day without feeling lonesome, but must do something with others to get pleasure at night, wonders how the student can sit alone at night; he does not realize that the student, though in the house, is actually at work in his field and cutting his wood as the farmer was in his.
Society is commonly too cheap：We meet at very short intervals (間隔) ,not having had time to get any new value for each other; we meet at meals three times a day and give each other a new taste of that unpleasant old cheese; we live thick and are in each other’s way, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another.
We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable (可忍受的); certainly less frequency would be enough for all important and hearty communications between men.
It would be better if there were but one to live within a square mile, as where I live ,for as the value of a man is not in his skin, we need not touch him.
72．The writer uses the example of the farmer and the student to show that _____.
A．men need to do something for pleasure after their work.
B．men are not lonely when they are working.
C．solitude is necessary for a student.
D．people have different ideas of solitude.
73．When the writer says：“Society is commonly too cheap” he means that ______.
A．we meet not frequently enough so we don’t understand each other well.
B．we eat cheap food and live a simple life so we don’t feel very happy.
C．our lives are too regular for us to find any happiness in them.
D．people don’t have enough hearty communication to realize the value in others
74．The writer’s opinion on the value of a man is that _____.
A．it is made too low by the rules of etiquette and politeness.
B．it can be discovered through frequent physical touch.
C．it can be found in a man’s appearance.
D．it doesn’t lie in physical touch.
75．The writer almost believes that ______.
A．a student and a farmer have no idea of solitude.
B．the same life we live every day is the cause of man’s loneliness.
C．etiquette and politeness are rules that make frequent meetings tolerable.
D．less frequent meetings can make us more clear about the value of men.

Street art can be found on buildings, sidewalks, street signs and even trash cans from Tokyo to Paris to New York City. This special kind of art can take the form of paintings, sculptures, cloth or even stickers (張貼物). Street art has become part of a global visual culture. Now, even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists.
It is not easy to provide an exact history of the street art movement. This kind of art has developed in many kinds of ways in places all over the world. Also, because it is illegal to paint public and private property without permission, street artists usually work secretly. This secretive nature of street art and its countless forms make it hard to define exactly. And people have different opinions about the movement. Some think street art is a crime and destroys property. But others see this art as a rich form of non-traditional cultural expression.
Many experts say the movement began in New York City in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray their “tag” on walls and train cars around the city. This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their artwork. This colorful style of writing is also called graffiti (涂鴉). It is visually exciting and energetic. Some graffiti paintings were signs marking the territories of city gangs or illegal crime groups.
Graffiti also became a separate movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities. Graffiti art represented social and political rebellion (叛逆). This was art that rejected the accepted rules of culture and power. These artists could travel around areas of the city making creative paintings for everyone to see. Sometimes this street art created a conflict between artists and city officials. Graffiti artists created their images and city officials quickly painted over them.
During the 1980s, two New York painters — Keith Haring and Jean Michel began showing their work in art galleries and museums. This is when street art started to become part of the more general popular culture.
小題1:What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A．Street art has become popular and is accepted as a kind of culture.
B．Street art is very special compared with other forms of popular art.
C．Many people are beginning to learn street art.
D．Street art is better developed in big cities than in rural areas.
小題2:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．“TAG” was a word created by people to distinguish street artists and the other artists.
B．There are three reasons explaining why it is hard to define the history of street art.
C．The movement of street art began in the 1980s in New York City.
D．All the people don’t think that the street art is a rich form of cultural expression.
小題3:The city officials used to get rid of graffiti probably because _____________.
A．they caused arguments between peopleB．they were ugly in someone’s eyes
C．they were not painted under proper guidanceD．they didn’t express traditional culture
