高中英语阅读理解的技巧和方法（精选5篇）1.高中英语阅读理解的技巧和方法第1篇文章的转折也是体现作者观点和文章主题的地方，一些明显的转折词包括：but, however, on the contrary, yet, as a matter of fact, in fact, actually等。
策略：转折词前后的意思一般来说都是相反的，而作者会偏重其中的某一方。
因此，在阅读过程中看到转折词，最好能作上标志以方便做题时候的查找。
2.高中英语阅读理解的技巧和方法第2篇中考阅读中经常出现对于数字和年代等细节的考查，看似容易，但是考生经常由于疏忽大意而失掉这些最容易的分数。
策略：其中要注意以下几点原则：① 如果出现需要进行运算的题目，一般来说文章的原始数据不是正确答案;② 如果答案中的四个数字或者时间都与文章的某一个部分相符合，那么要注意这些数字和时间所对应的不同问题，只选择与题目相关的那个数据;③ 要注意年份和世纪之间的差别，比如1999 年就是20 世纪，20XX年就是21 世纪，也就是说世纪的数字是年份的前两个数字加1。
3.高中英语阅读理解的技巧和方法第3篇例子往往与作者的说明与论述有很大的关联，具有重大的意义，因此也成为了考题出处的热点。
这种题目在文章中的线索非常明显，一般都带有如下的标志性词汇：for example, for instance, take … as an example, as, such as, like等。
策略：一般文章举例处的前一句或者前几句就是与该例子相关的作者论点，所以在做此类题目的时候就需要追本溯源地往前读，才能保证所选答案的正确率。
4.高中英语阅读理解的技巧和方法第4篇个人认为这种方法较以上两种更为全面和严谨，而我在新东方的课堂的上也是建议给每位同学们练习这种方法，养成很好的阅读习惯。
这种方法即先看懂各段首尾句或短文的第一段，大致明了文章的主题。
此后细细地阅读题干推敲选项的大致设置，思考作者的行文规律和命题者的出题陷阱，然后带着已经在首尾句获得的信息和在题目中假设的思路回头进行有目的性的查找工作，准确率高且耗时相对较少。
.高考阅读的基本解题思路：第一，扫描提干，划要点项。
第二，通读全文，抓住中心。
通读全文，抓两个要点：①首段（中心句、中心看法常在第一段，常在首段出题）；②其余各段的段首和段尾句。
（其余部分略读，有要点的读）抓住中心，用一分半时间思虑3个问题：①文章表达的主要内容是什么？②文章中有无提到中心看法？③作者的大概态度是什么？第三，认真审题，返回原文。
（认真看题干，把每道题和原文的某处成立联系，挂起钩）定位原则：①往常是由题干出发，使用找寻要点词定位原则。
（要点词：大写字母、地名、时间、数字等）②自然段定位原则。
出题的次序与行文的次序是基本一致的，一般每段对应一题。
要建立定位意识，每一题、每一选项都要回到原文中某一处定位。
第四，重叠选项，得出答案。
（重叠原文=比较原文）经过题干返回原文：判断四个选项，抓住选项中的要点词，把选项定位到原文的某处比较，重叠选项，选出答案。
2.作题练习要求：要有选一个答案的原因和其余三个不选的原因二.阅读理解的解题技巧例证题：①例证题的标记。
当题干中出现example,case,illustrate,illustration,exemplify时。
②返回原文，找出该例证所在的地点，既给该例子定位。
③搜寻该例证四周的地区，90%向上，10%向下，找出该例证支持的看法。
例子四周拥有归纳抽象性的表达往常就是它的论点。
注意：举例的目的是为了支持论点或是为了说明主题句。
举例后立刻问这个例子说了然什么问题？不可以用例子中的话往返答这个问题。
④找出该论点，并与四个选项比较，得出选项中与该论点最一致的答案。
⑤例证题错误答案设计的扰乱特点常常是：就事论事。
②即用例子中的某一内容拉出来让你去选。
（╳）②要求：在阅读中，碰到长的例子，立刻给这个例子定位，即找出开端点，从哪开始到哪结束。
②指代题：②①返回原文，找出出题的指代词。
②②向上搜寻，找近来的名词、名词性短语或句子（先从近来点开始找，找不到再找次近的，一般答案不会离得太远）。
高中英语新高考-阅读理解的进阶：文本解读指导（方法+实例）（两篇）正文李筱菊说：说一句话，必然有一个要传达的主信息（message）。
主信息的核心（gist）=主题（topic）+表述（predication）。
例子：学生甲问：还有时间吗？乙说：不早了。
9点了。
乙的主信息核心是：时间不早了。
主题是时间，表述是九点。
9点是主信息的辅助信息（supporting info）。
主信息的构成，除了核心外，往往还有辅助信息，包括辅助性事实或观点（supporting facts or ideas）。
譬如乙除了表达表层信息（surface message）,很有可能传达潜信息（underlying message）,可能是：都9点了，你还不抓紧。
当然更有可能结合他的语气或态度（tone or attitude）。
这里的潜信息才是我们命题阅读要挖掘的，有时体现为语篇的意图（purpose）或功能（function）。
如果阅读文本里有潜信息，我们的文本解读没有涉及，那么都不算有效。
下面这张图是李筱菊的：这张表告诉我们：1、命题阅读（我们也可以称之为文本解读中的评判性思维的提问）首先要抓主信息的核心，包含了潜主信息的核心（实质、功能、意图、态度）。
2、辅助信息，包括情景因素、细节因素等，或构成关键提问点，或构成相关提问点，或是无关提问点，这都是针对主信息核心而言的。
葛炳芳老师说，提问不能偏离中心，大概就是这个意思。
我们提问，先考虑关键提问点，杜绝无关提问点。
但是一段里的主信息有时是多个，这样个别主信息又可能成为辅助信息。
李老师的图写于上个世纪八十年代，这个葛炳芳老师的4I策略是有共通之处的。
葛老师的理解文章的表层信息相当于表层主信息核心；理解信息点之间的相关联系，即：要理解散落在文本各处的信息点之间的相互联系，读者需要重点解读时间、地点、人物、事件、例子、场景之间的相互关系。
这相当于确定不同主信息之间的主次，有的主信息可能是论点，有的可能是论据的辅助信息。
高中英语阅读理解中短文段落和长文主题的分析和掌握和综合和理解技巧与方法高中英语阅读理解中短文段落和长文主题的分析和掌握技巧与方法在高中英语阅读理解中，短文段落和长文主题的分析和掌握是非常重要的技巧。
通过正确运用这些技巧，我们能够更好地理解和解答阅读理解题目。
下面将介绍一些实用的方法和技巧。
首先，对于短文段落的分析和掌握，我们可以通过以下步骤进行：1. 阅读题目和选项：在阅读短文之前，先看一下题目和选项。
这样可以帮助我们有一个大致的了解，知道自己需要在短文中寻找哪些信息。
2. 理解段落主题句：每个段落通常都有一个主题句，它能够概括整个段落的主要内容。
我们可以通过仔细阅读段落的第一句或最后一句来找到主题句。
3. 寻找关键词：在阅读段落时，我们要注意寻找关键词。
这些关键词通常是与题目相关的词汇，通过它们我们可以找到正确答案的线索。
4. 理解段落结构：了解段落的结构对于理解段落的内容非常重要。
我们可以通过寻找段落的开头和结尾，以及段落内部的逻辑关系词（如however, therefore, for example等）来帮助我们理解段落的意思。
其次，对于长文主题的分析和掌握，我们可以采取以下方法：1. 阅读题目和选项：同样，在阅读长文之前，先看一下题目和选项。
这样可以帮助我们有一个整体的了解，知道自己需要在长文中寻找哪些信息。
2. 理解文章结构：长文通常由多个段落组成，每个段落都有自己的主题。
我们可以通过阅读每个段落的主题句，并理解段落之间的逻辑关系来把握整篇文章的主题。
3. 寻找关键词和线索：在阅读长文时，我们要注意寻找关键词和线索。
这些关键词和线索通常是与题目相关的词汇或信息，通过它们我们可以找到正确答案的线索。

综合和理解技巧与方法：1. 利用上下文推测词义：在阅读过程中，我们可能会遇到一些生词或不熟悉的词汇。
高中英语新高考-阅读理解：快读三步方法：列点、衔接、建模（指导与解读）。
笔者长期以来研究语法、词汇、阅读、写作并建立相应的阅读素材库和题库，虽然不乏有自己满意的地方，但唯有阅读进展缓慢，持续进行了十年，屡次改进甚至彻底推翻。
我不知道下次会再有什么想法，这次是因为语篇理论的流行给了我很多启发。
且行且摸索，每次小的进步都是在鼓励我继续深入走下去。
(孙三五)你要解决的两个问题：1、我如何最快速度读懂文章的大意？2、我如何快速解题？要了解文章的大意，必须了解作者的行文思路，一般来说，作者会把自己的观点先呈现，然后通过不同的形式来说明他的观点。
如同我们盖一座楼，要经过以下几步：准备材料（砖，混凝土等），构图（大的框架和内部结构细节），建构（将不同的材料安排在不同框架结构里）。
这里最重要的是：构图。
我们看过美剧《越狱》也知道主人公把监狱构图画在了身上从而完成了越狱。
要达到这一点颇为不易，文章的图式框架很多文章都进行了讲述，但我在长期的实践中发现不怎么靠谱，这种按图索骥很容易让人走进死胡同。
你一定要摆脱这种框架束缚，学会自己去揣摩和建模。
当你揣摩150篇后，你根本不需要任何理论，这种行文思路模式很自然展现在你的面前，如同庖丁解牛般熟练，遇妖斩妖，遇魔降魔。
词语衔接一般是重复、指代（前指和后指），同义或近义，上义或下义，省略等；逻辑衔接一般是：递进或并列关系，因果关系，时间先后关系，对比关系，总分关系。
具体如下：表并列：and; not only...but also; as well as表因果：so, therefore; as a result; because; thanks to; consequently表时间先后：first(ly); then; afterwards; after that; meanwhile; moreover; furthermore表递进：what's more; besides; also; what's more important; in addition; moreover; furthermore表对比：for one thing...for another; on the one hand,...on the hand；on the contrary; however; though表例证：to give an example, for example; that is to say; namely; in fact 表归纳：in a word; in summary; in conclusion; all in all; to sum up; in short; briefly; generally speaking表强调：in particular; especially; indeed; at least; at most; not at all句意功能通俗说，就是每个句子的功能。
高中英语新课标阅读理解解题技巧谈
阅读理解是英语考试中的重要部分，尤其是对于高中英语新课标的考试来说，阅读理解的难度和要求都有所提高。
以下是一些阅读理解解题技巧，可以帮助考生高效地解决这部分的题目。
1. 通读全文
在阅读一篇文章之前，先读一遍文章的题目和题目下的问题，再通读整篇文章，了解大致内容和主题。
在阅读过程中，不要直接翻译每一个单词或语句，而是要抓住文章的中心思想和关键词，理解文章的意思。
2. 注意关键细节
在文章中可能会出现一些关键词表达意思，这些关键词可能在后面的题目中出现。
因此，在通读文章后，再次阅读问题，并注意问题中的关键词或细节，以帮助回答问题。
3. 明确问题类型
在解决问题之前，要明确问题的类型。
问题的类型通常分为基本理解、推理和细节题。
基本理解问题要求考生理解文章的表面含义，推理问题要求考生根据已有信息做出逻辑推断，细节问题则要求考生从文章中找到明确的信息。
4. 注意文章结构
文章的结构可以帮助考生理解文章的内容和主题。
因此，在阅读文章时，要注意文章的开头和结尾，并留意段落的转换。
毕竟，每个段落中的句子都是为了表达主题而存在的，它们的结构和词汇可能会为理解文章的含义提供线索。
5. 掌握文化背景
在阅读有关历史、文学、社会等方面的文章时，考生必须掌握一些文化背景知识。
理解背景和上下文信息有助于理解文章中的新词汇和复杂句子。
此外，阅读相关材料，如小说或历史书籍，也有助于提高阅读能力。
总之，阅读理解是一项需要长期练习和培养的技能。
通过灵活运用上述技巧和方法，考生可以更好地掌握阅读理解，并在考试中取得更好的成绩。
高中英语新高考-阅读理解：从语篇解读、题眼焦点和命题选项三个角度去备考高考阅读在冲刺阶段，我对阅读理解的总的看法是：不能为了做题而做题，要学会从不同角度思考：命题人为什么选这篇材料（摸索材料的行文特点）、命题人为什么这样挑选题眼（摸索阅读的焦点信息在什么地方）、命题人如何设置正确选项和干扰项（命题人的设题思维）这就是命题人的角度。
当然，这种思考非常痛苦，因为要求你去摸索命题人的命题的暗箱操作过程。
下面我以C篇阅读为例（原题见文末）：首先复习一下篇章段落之间的连贯的三种方式：第一种：首末句照应第二种：主题句关联第三种：主题句串联掌握着三种关系有助于我们快速把握语篇结构和连贯方式，而命题的焦点信息都在连贯处。
需要说明的是，任何一篇阅读，不只是单纯的三种结构的一种，往往是多种组合。
解释：第一段：now这个词非常神奇，既可以表示对比，也可以类比，还可以表示转折，但突出的都是后面句子。
因此本段提出了文章中心：concern: giants deal in data.最后一句举例说明这种现象的必然性。
段落展开方法：对比法、举例法。
第二段：开头一个词such是承接上段段末信息。
这就是对应首末句的呼应模式了。
可以肯定说，首句有代词的地方都是首末句呼应，通过辨析指代关系来设题是命题人常见的方式。
但是，命题人不会直接问such指什么。
这里就是问为什么出现calls?你要回答，就必须了解such situations指什么，就必须追溯到上段。
总结过程：calls --> such situations -->Now similar...unstoppable.第二段的中心还在于but后面的size alone is not a crime。
接下来就是具体解释原因。
本段展开方式属于：原因解释。
这一段主要证明上段末句。
我们虽然比较容易知道正确选项，但是还是有必要了解命题人如何设置干扰项。
由于干扰项内容在第三段，所以接下来看。
实战(2015 江苏卷)Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interests in the work.Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer toexpress personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal factor ( e. g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question,researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to“training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.Another study of 302 volunteers athospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer”as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work.Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.”Consistent with the researchers’expectations, they found a positive correlation(正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results,once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering,continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity.... Items like T shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.61.People volunteer mainly out of ________.A.academic requirementsB.social expectationsC.financial rewardsD.internal needs62.What can we learn from Florida study?A.Follow-up studies should last for one year.B.Volunteers should get mentally prepared.C.Volunteer training is a must in research.D.Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.63.What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?A.Individual differences in role identity.B.Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.C.Role identity as a volunteer.D.Practical advice from researchers.64.What is the best title of the passage?A.How to Get People to VolunteerB.How to Study Volunteer BehaviorsC.How to Keep Volunteers’InterestD.How to Organize Volunteers’Activities。

高中英语新高考-阅读理解指导与解读：谈语篇阅读技巧（含实例）两个感悟：第一、关注语篇阅读文本解读的技能第二、关注阅读中的问题的生成第三、多花精力培养外刊好文阅读的习惯（江苏阅读基本选自比较高级的外刊多，多阅读这样的外刊文章会极大提高英语语篇思维的熟悉度）本套试题阅读学生得分率普遍比较高，原因在于命题没有加大干扰项的难度和文本内容的内在关系没有充分挖掘，解读不够彻底。
但后三篇阅读材料选材非常好，覆盖了高考常见的阅读题材模式，因此我想，学生不要停留在自己的得分上，而要思考：我如何提高阅读的效率和解题准确率？我们真的需要一种工匠精神对待阅读！唯有此，才能举一反三，以不变应万变。
BScientists have discovered how the “wiring”of in-built sat-navs in bees’brains helps them plot the most direct route back to their hive.The researchers have found that a complex network of neurons integrates (整合）every detail of the outbound journeys, helping bees to return directly home. While it has long been known that bees use their vision to navigate (导航), until now little is known about what happens inside their tiny brains as they perform this task. Now, researchers from the University of Edinburgh have discovered neurons（神经元）that detect speed and direction to help guide bees home. The neurons are located in a part of the insect brain called the central complex. Scientists have found this region plays a key role in controlling the navigation system, which is used by many animals, including bees, ants and humans. These cells are used to add up all elements of the outbound journey, creating a memory that bees use to fly home by the most direct route, researchers say.The researchers have discovered the complex workings of the system by studying the brains of nocturnal (夜间的）rainforest bees. They monitored nerve function by attaching tiny electrodes (电极）to bees’heads as the insects were shown virtual reality simulations (模拟)of what they see when flying forward or rotating.Their results, together with microscope studies of how the nerve cells are connected, were used to develop a detailed computer model of the bee’s brain. The model was tested on a simulated bee and on a robot.The findings could lead to the development of new algorithms (算法）for navigation in autonomous robots that do not require GPS or expensive computer systems.Professor Barbara Webb, lead author of the study said: 'The most exciting part of this research was when computer modelling of connections between nerve cells revealed the elegant principle by which bees keep track of their position and steer back home. Understanding such a complex behaviour at the level of single neurons is an important step forward for the science of brain function.”56. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 refers to “_______”.A. built-in satellite navigation fixed by scientistsB. built-in direct routes plotted by scientistsC. inborn complex network of bees5 neuronsD. inborn models of bees5 speed and position57. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Previous studies have shown that bees use sight navigation to fly back to their hive.B. The complex network of neurons integrates every detail of journeys leaving a place.C. The computer model based on the studies was tested both on a real bee and a robot.D. The research was done by monitoring nerve function of nocturnal rainforest bees.58. The findings of the research on bees could probably .A. further the microscope studies of cellsB. push forward the science of brain functionC. contribute to the test computer models of beesD. promote the study of other insects in the rainforest Key: CCBCGiven how valuable intelligence and automation (自动化）are, we will continue to improve our technology if we are at all able to. At a certain point, we will build machines that are smarter than we are. Once we have machines that are smarter than we are, they will begin to improve themselves. And then we risk what the mathematician IJ Good called an “intelligence explosion”. The process could get out of control.The concern is really that we will build machines that are much more competent than we are. And the slightest divergence (分歧）between their goals and our own could destroy us.Just think about how we relate to ants. We don’t hate them. We don’t go out of our way to harm them. In fact, sometimes we take pains not to harm them. We step over them on the sidewalk. But whenever their presence seriously conflicts with one of our goals, we will kill them without hesitation. The concern is that we willone day build machines that, whether they’re conscious or not, could treat us with similar disregard.The bare fact is that we will continue to improve our intelligent machines. We have problems that we desperately need to solve. So we will do this, if we can. The train is already out of the station, and there’s no brake to pull. If we build machines that are more intelligent than we are, they will very likely develop in ways that we can’t imagine, and exceed us in ways that we can’t imagine.So imagine we hit upon a design of superintelligent AI that has no safety concerns. This machine would be the perfect labor-saving device. It can design the machine that can build the machine which can do any physical work, powered by sunlight, more or less for the cost of raw materials. So we5re talking about the end of human labour. We’re also talking about the end of most intellectual work. So what would apes like ourselves do in this circumstance?What would some nations do if they heard that some company in Silicon Valley was about to deploy a superintelligent AI? This machine would be capable of starting war, whether terrestrial or cyber, with unbelievable power.Given that the companies and governments building superintelligent AI are likely to perceive themselves as being in a race against all others, and that to win this race is to win the world, it seems likely that whatever is easier to do will get done first unless it is destroyed in the next moment.But the moment we admit that information processing is the source of intelligence, we have to admit that we are in the process of building some sort of god. Now would be a good time to make sure it’s a god we can live with.59. What message does Paragraph 3 convey?A. Intelligence and automation are very valuable.B. The improved machines will get away from us.C. The presence of machines does conflict with our goals.D. Future intelligent machines could treat us without mercy.60. Which of the following sayings has similar meaning with the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?A. Time and tide wait for no man.B. Rome wasn’t built in a day.C. Tomorrow is another day.D. Shot arrows will not come back.61. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By making comparisons.B. By giving assumptions.C. By showing valid evidence.D. By analyzing statistics.62. Which of the following statements can best summarize the author^ viewpoint towards AI?A. Human beings will no doubt be destroyed by AI in the future.B. Superintelligent AI will put an end to human labour eventually.C. We should keep the development of AI within humans, control.D. Human beings should stop the development of superintelligent AI. KEY: DDBCDCraig Smallwood, a disabled American war veteran, spent more than 20,000 hours over five years playing an online role-playing game called "Lineage II’. When NCsoft, the South Korean firm behind the game, accused him of breaking the game’s rules and banned him, he was plunged into depression. After he spent three weeks in hospital, he accused NCsoft of fraud and negligence (疏忽), demanding over $9,000,000 in damages and claiming that the company acted negligently by failing to warn him of the danger that he would become “addicted”to the game.But does it make sense to talk of addiction to online activity? Mental-health specialists say some online behaviors can become problematic for many people, such as video games and messaging via e-mail and social networks. But there is far less agreement about whether any of this should be called “Internet addiction”-or how to treat it.Skeptics say there is nothing uniquely addictive about the Internet. Back in 2000 Joseph Walther, a communications professor at Michigan State University, co-wrote an article in which he suggested, tongue in cheek, that the criteria used to call someone an Internet addict might also show that most professors were “addicted”to academia. He argued that other factors, such as depression, are the real problem. He stands by that view today. No scientific evidence has emerged to suggest that Internet use is a cause rather than a consequence of some other sort of issue,”he says. “Focusing on and treating people for Internet addiction, rather than looking for underlying (潜在的）clinical issues, is unwise.”Others disagree. “That would be wrong,”says Kimberly Young, a researcher and therapist who has worked on Internet addiction since 1994. She insists that the Internet, with its powerfully immersive environments, creates new problems that people must learn to tackle.No one disputes that online habits can turn toxic (有毒的).Take South Korea, where widespread broadband means that the average high-school student can play video games for 23 hours each week. In 2007 the government estimated that around 210,000 children needed treatment for Internet addiction. And several SouthKorean men have died from exhaustion after marathon, multi-day gaming sessions. The South Korea government has recently asked game developers to adopt a gaming curfew (^^-) for children, to prevent them playing between midnight and 8 am. It has also opened more than 100 clinics for Internet addiction and sponsored an “Internet rescue camp”for serious cases.Treatment centres have popped up around the world. In 2006 Amsterdam’s Smith & Jones facility claimed to be “the first and, currently, the only residential video-game treatment program in the world’. In America the reSTART Internet Addiction Recovery Program claims to treat Internet addiction and gaming addiction. In China, meanwhile, military-style 44boot camps99 are the preferred way to treat internet problems.But compulsive behavior is not limited to gamers. When something can be summoned in an instant via broadband, whether it is a game world or an e-mail inbox, it is harder to resist. Getting through a business lunch in which no one pulls out a phone to check their messages now counts as a minor miracle in many quarters. When online auction sites first became popular, talk of “eBay addiction”soon followed. Dr Young says women complain to her now about addiction to Facebook--- or even to “FarmVille”, a game playable only within Facebook.Yet many people like feeling permanently connected. As Arikia Millikan, an American blogger, once put it, “If I could be jacked in at every waking hour of the day, I would, and I think a lot of my peers would do the same.”Bob LaRose, an Internet specialist at Michigan State University, doesn’t believe her. In his researchon college students, he found that most sense when they are Agoing overboard and restore self-control”. For most people, Internet use “is just a habit—and one that brings us pleasure”, he adds.63. The author cites the example of Craig Smallwood to .A. criticize him for his ridiculous accusationB. warn against the online game companiesC. introduce the topic of “Internet addiction”D. show how serious “Internet addiction”is64. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 indicates that Joseph Walther was .A. sincereB. jokingC. seriousD. criticizing65. According to Joseph Walther, .A. addiction to the Internet must be specially treatedB. Internet addiction is a serious social phenomenonC. the Internet is a cause of many sorts of medical issuesD. clinical issues behind Internet addiction should be found66. Which of the following is true about the world’s efforts to fight Internet addiction?A. The South Korea government aids organizations to treat Internet addiction.B. -Amsterdam once started the world first video-game treatment program.C. Treatment centers in America have cured Internet and gaming addiction.D. Military-style camps in China prove to be the best to treat Internet problems.67. What can we infer from Paragragh 7?A. People communicate more in the virtual world than in real life.B. E-mail or web-use behaviors can also show signs of addiction.C. Websites such as eBay and Facebook are likely to cause complaints.D. Women rather than men tend to be easily addicted to the social network.68. What is the author’s tone in writing this article?A. Objective.B. Subjective.C. Doubtful.D. Approving.KEY: CBDABA。
