寫作范文：This modern life
　　As is shown in the above picture, people sit in front of the computer all day and night, even in their dreams they’re still playing computer games. Such thought-provoking phenomenon is, especially among young people, prevail in our modern life.
　　It’s true that the computer has brought great convenience to our modern life. However, as is illustrated in the picture, the overuse of it may lead to several bad consequences. To begin with, there is evidence that long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation emitted from computers may cause many health problems, like insomnia, headaches, and even cancer. In addition, when people immerse himself in the world of computer, they tend to pay less attention to the surroundings, and excessive use of the computer means much less chance of face-to-face interactions with people who populate their real lives.
In conclusion, while computers have contribute a lot to making our life more convenient, we should use them appropriately.

　　聽力答案（略）

　　選詞填空
　　36. passively    
　　解析：sitting passively 被動坐著
　　從詞性判斷，36題應該選一個副詞來修飾sitting這個動名詞，而備選項中只有兩個副詞，一個是passively被動地，一個是previously之前，再根據語義邏輯，坐著那看電視的行為應該是一種被動行為，而不存在前后之分。
　　37. harmful
　　解析：quantified just how harmful being a couch potato 量化長時間看電視的嚴重危害
　　通過分析how (    ) being a couch potato can be 這句話的句子成分，得出how 這個副詞之后應該接一個形容詞，符合詞性條件的備選項，一個是effective 有效的，一個是harmful有害的。根據語義邏輯，長時間看電視是有害的，故選harmful。
　　38. previously
　　解析： previously published studies 之前公布的研究
　　38題空格處應該填一個副詞來修飾published這個詞，參考36題的解析，備選項中現在只剩下一個副詞就是previously，剛好填入此處。
　　39. surfing
　　解析：spent channel surfing ，直接翻譯為在頻道沖浪，意譯為看電視。這里的channel頻道指代television電視；而“surfing沖浪”指代“watching看”，我們經常看到上網常用surfing一詞，這里運用了仿詞，將“上網沖浪”的surfing借過來用來指“看電視“。以上可以理解為英語中的委婉表達。
　　40. decade
　　解析：increased 15% over a decade  10年增加了15% 。40題后面出現了一個詞并列連詞and，說明本句存在并列關系。通讀此句，40題在over之后應該填一個表示時間的名詞，這樣才能和前文over 8.5.years 與后文during a seven-year 　　follow up 形成并列，備選項中只有decade符合條件。
　　41. climbed
　　解析：the odds …climbed 13% 幾率增加了13% 。解析同40題，根據and所指向的并列關系，前文說某一種風險增加了20%，某一種風險的增加了15%，此處空格也應該填一個表示上升的動詞，備選項只有climbed，爬升。
　　42. outcomes
　　解析：all of these outcomes 所有這些后果。 此題填outcomes，是對前文各種疾病風險的概括。
　　43. effective
　　解析：be especially effective at promoting unhealthy habits 更容易形成不健康的習慣。be effective at doing 有效做某事。這里是諷刺用法，用來強調看電視更容易形成不健康的習慣。
　　44. consume
　　解析：make you more likely to consume them  使你更有可能吃他們，這里注意them指前文出現的beer啤酒和popcorn爆米花，又能表示喝啤酒，又能表示吃爆米花的詞只有consume。consume消費，也只吃喝（東西）。
　　45. determine
　　解析：通過句法分析，本句應該填寫動詞原形，放在to 不定式符號之后。備選項中有3個動詞原形，其中consume已經填在了44題，在剩下的resume恢復和determine決定之間，根據語義，應選擇determine。

　　In the eyes of the western, the basic food closest to China isrice. Rice has long occupied so significant a position in the dietof Chinese that there is a proverb “ Even a clever housewife cannotcook a meal without rice”. Rice is grown mostly in southern Chinawhere people usually take rice as their staple food, while itcannot be planted in northern China where the climate is either toocold or too dry for rice to grow. As a result, the main crop in thenorth is wheat. In China, flour is sometimes the main ingredientfor bread but more often used to make buns and noodles。
