Ⅲ 完形填空（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

There're people seriously in trouble because they're consuming too much time on the Internet. A few months ago, it wasn't 26 for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15 hours per day online. She would wake up 27 , turn on her laptop and chat on Internet dating sites and instant-messaging programs --- leaving her bed for only brief intervals. Her household bills 28 up, along with the dishes and dirty laundry, but it took constant 29 from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem.

“I was starting to feel like my whole world was falling 30 --- kind of slipping into a depression,” said Carla. “I knew that if I didn't get off the dating sites, I'd just keep going, separating myself further from the outside world.”

Toebe's conclusion: She felt like she was 31 to the Internet. She's not alone.

32 about excessive Internet use isn't new. As far back as 1995, articles in medical journals and the 33 of a Pennsylvania treatment center for over-users aroused interest in the subject. There's 34 no standard on how much time online is considered too much or whether addiction is possible.

But as reliance on the Web 35 , there are signs that the question is getting more serious attention. Last month, a study 36 in CNS Spectrums claimed to be the first 37 look at excessive Internet use. The American Psychiatric Association may consider listing 38 addiction in the next edition of its diagnostic manual. And scores of online discussion boards have 39 where people discuss negative experiences 40 to too much time on the Web.

A. often B. unusual C. ordinary D. seldom

A. slowly B. soon C. late D. early

A. piled B. turned C. took D. picked

Ⅳ 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

A

The US government has launched a website, Admongo, to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them. It claims to provide visitors with an “education” through games and other entertainments.

A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. “Call me Haiz”, he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. The inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities. Kids of that age are also a big market for advertisers.

The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: to identify the advertiser, to know what the advertiser is really saying, and to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.

Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. There are different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes, which are up to the kids. Then they begin a trip through ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level. The game takes players everywhere ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.

One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says it is a big business. The FTC estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people last year.

The FTC says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.

A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value. First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children.

What is the best title of the text?

The Guide of Admongo

An Education Website for Children

A Popular Online Video Game

A Website Aimed at Children

What’s the purpose of Admongo?

To attract the biggest market of buyers.

To teach children to tell poor products from good ones.

To help children know about advertising.

To oppose misleading advertising.

What can players do in the website game?

Choose hair styles for their character.

Shop in a supermarket.

Eat in a fast-food restaurant.

Play with their peers during the trip.

Children are important for advertising because they are __________.

important for the society

the most potential buyers

easily influenced by ads

easily affected by poor products

According to Michelle Obama, lots of food advertised for children are
