Are you addicted to computer games? Do you stay up all night playing them? Do you feel happy after you play computer games?
There’s no doubt that the excitement and appealing of games these days makes them hard to put down. We are attracted by the choice when it comes to gaming: You can role play—creating your own fantasy characters and stories, giving you a chance to step out of everyday life into an imaginary world. And there are shooting games where you can let out your anger and depression in violent situations where you kill people with guns. You can get excited from the games.
However, can these kinds of games really be fun and can being absorbed in virtual reality be good for us? Should we worry about their effects on our health? Popular games like Grand Theft Auto have been blamed for everything from falling results at school to causing acts of extreme violence. Internet safety adviser, Alan MacKenzie, thinks “any people understandably will just think that a game is just a game and not realizing the exact content that’s in there”. He gives an example of the violence, which he says is “wholly inappropriate for anybody, not to mention children.”
Others will argue that gaming is a harmless form of entertainment. There is evidence that playing video games could actually be good for us. Some games like Game of Thrones and World of Warcraft are educational and using games certainly can help children learn good qualities. Studies have also shown that the skills used in playing games can cause growth in certain areas of the brain, the ability to think in 3D and even improve our eyesight.
Video game players are also no longer just simple creatures. For some, gaming is having a positive effect on their social lives with games like Halo and World of Warcraft often being played in groups. When your group works together to win the game, your sense of achievement is higher than when winning by yourself.
So every coin has two sides. It seems today, gaming isn’t just for game fans and if used in a proper way, we can all take part. If video games have two sides, what side do you stand by?
1.The writer used a lot of questions at the beginning to ________.
A. show his worries about the effect on health
B. lead into the topic of the passage
C. ask the reader for their own opinions about games
D. doubt the advantage of playing computer games
2.Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ________.
A. the contents of the game are complex
B. games contain extreme violence
C. popular games lead to students’ falling results at school
D. gaming is a harmful form of entertainment
3.According to the passage, which of the following shows the good influence on social lives?
A. Han Meimei passed the exam after playing the games.
B. Li Hua leant many English words from playing games.
C. Sunyan worked well with his teammates.
D. Yang Li let out his anger and expressions.
4.In Paragraph 4, the author supports his idea ________.
A. by giving some examples
B. with descriptive words
C. by providing some numbers
D. with some research results

How cool can libraries be in an era(時代) of iPods and Kindles? More than you think. Only if you know where to go.
Central Library: Seattle, Washington, United States
The Central Library in Seattle is modern and fashionable and has tourists from around the world paying visits and taking tours. It was designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and American designer Joshua Prince-Ramus. Tours began in 2006, two years after its opening. The library holds various art exhibitions, book signings and other events, while visitors can stop by the Chocolati cat for a coffee and scan through the gift shop anytime.
Trinity College Library: Dublin, Ireland
The Trinity College Library in Dublin is the oldest library in Ireland, founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I. It is the largest single library in the world, also known as the Long Room, which contains more than 200,000 of the library’s oldest books. The Long Room houses one of the oldest harps(豎琴) in Ireland. Dating to the 15th century, the old harp is the model for the symbol of Ireland.
Geisel Library, University of California: San Diego, United States
At first glance, it looks like a spaceship. Architect William Pereira, who helped design actual space launch facilities at Cape Canaveral in Houston, Texas, designed the library in 1970. It has been featured in sci-fi films, short stories and novels. The library hosts “Dinner in the Library” which invites readers for cocktails, and also a special speech from distinguished authors.
TU Delft Library: The Netherlands
The library at the Delft University of Technology was constructed in 1997 and has more than 862,000 books, 16,000 magazine subscriptions and its own museum. The building itself exists beneath the ground, so you can’t really see the actual library. What makes it interesting is the roof, which is a grassy hill. The roof covers 5,500 square meters. And it has become one of the most striking and greenest structures in the area.
1.Which of the four libraries has the longest history?

I don’t think there is anything more important than health. “Health is the greatest wealth，” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.
If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that, he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat with pleasure, drink with pleasure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“ But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”
1.The writer thinks that ________.
A．health is more important than wealth
B．work is as important as studies
C．medicine is more important than pleasure
D．nothing is more important than money
2.The doctor usually tells his patient what to do ________.
A．without examining the patient
B．after he has examined the patient
C．if the patient doesn't take medicine
D．unless the patient feels pain
3.The underlined part means “________”.
A．he was feeling better than ever
B．he wasn't a healthy man
C．he was feeling worse than before
D．he will be well again
4.From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man ________ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A．was a heavy smoker
B．didn't smoke so much
C．didn't smoke
D．began to learn to smoke
5.Which of the following is NOT true?
A．The doctor usually tests his/her blood pressure when a person is ill.
B．The man told the doctor he couldn't remember things.
C．The man thanked the doctor.
D．The man didn't follow the doctor's advice.

科目：高中英語 來源：2015-2016學年黑龍江大慶中學高一上期末考試英語卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解
About 12 years ago, I began making a series of dolls called “Wee Mountain Folk.” At first, I made them from cloth but then began using a kind of polymer clay（軟陶）called cernit. The cloth dolls were beautiful, but it was impossible to get the level of detail（細節）I can get with clay.
First, I use wire（金屬絲）to build the shape of the doll. Then I cover the head, hands, and feet around the wire using the cernit. Then I make the doll’s clothes myself, using lots of different materials. The completed dolls are fixed onto hardwood bases made by my father, Jim Logan.
Generally, the dolls I make show older people taking part in traditional activities. I’ve always had a great respect for the older generation.
Inspiration for the dolls often comes from people I know. Once I was caught looking too closely at the wrinkles（皺紋）on the face of one of my mom’s friends. But I explained that her laugh lines made her more attractive.
Now I work as a teacher’s assistant, and while I was raising my two daughters, Keri and Sheryl, I could work on the dolls only late in the day. The girls loved to come downstairs the next morning to see who’d arrived in the night.
It’s the detail that I enjoy working on the most. I once made a fisherman doll for a lady to give her father, including a tiny creel — a basket used by fishermen for carrying fish. When the man got the doll, he immediately opened the creel to see what was inside. Luckily, I’d made a small fish out of cernit and placed it in the basket.
Hopefully my story will inspire others to try their hand at doll making — I find it very relaxing and interesting.
1.The dolls called “Wee Mountain Folk” were ________.
A. totally hand made
B. mainly made of cloth
C. usually small kids
D. often designed by the author’s father
2.Why did the author look closely at her mother’s friend’s face?
A. To guess her age.
B. To get creative ideas.
C. To give her a surprise.
D. To find out why she was so attractive.
3.The author’s daughters ________.
A. thought doll making was a waste of time
B. thought the dolls’ styles were too old
C. showed great interest in the dolls
D. paid little attention to the dolls
4.The author tells the story of the fisherman doll to show that ________.
A. it takes much effort to make a doll
B. it is difficult to satisfy everyone
C. the old also love her dolls
D. her dolls have fine details
