Ⅰ.阅读理解
Video games are often blamed as a pastime for young teenage males. If you're not a regular “gamer”, you might be surprised to find out just how many people from all different groups play games regularly, leading to a billion dollar industry in the US and internationally.
According to game designer Jane McGonigal, author of Reality is Broken, more than half a billion people play computer and video games for at least an hour each day. About 183 million of those gamers live in the US alone.
Everyone has different reasons for playing video games. The most common one is simply that video games are fun. The huge availability of devices you can play on today has also no doubt increased the gameplaying market as you no longer need to buy a special handheld device to play.
A national survey found that using video games as part of their class instructional materials led to improved basic learning and inspiration skills. Moreover, 74% of the teachers surveyed now use digital games as a regular part of their student training.
Likewise, the ESA's annual report shows that 68% of parents view video games played by their children as a positive and 62% are engaged in video game play with their children on a weekly basis.
Games can also improve brain functioning and problem solving abilities. A study found that children who played a brain training game for a regular amount of time weekly for four months had higher math and reading scores than students in the control group. This positive benefit isn't limited just to children. Researchers working with Alzheimer's patients found that playing a similar type of brain game a few times a week for one month improved multitasking ability and shortterm memory.

1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5.________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________ 9.________ 10.________ 答案与解析
【语篇解读】 本文介绍了傣族泼水节的相关情况,包括流行地区、文化特征、活动意义以及活动过程等。
1.observed 考查非谓语动词。句意:这是云南省西双版纳德洪地区傣族人民所庆祝的最重要的节日。根据该句中的“by the Dai people”可知,动词observe和名词the Dai people之间是动宾关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。
2.which 考查定语从句。分析该句结构可知,该句为非性定语从句,先行词为the festival,故填which引导这个非性定语从句。
3.activities 考查名词的单复数。 activity为可数名词,根据该句中“a variety of”可知,该处表示“多种多样的活动”,故用复数形式。
4.are held 考查被动语态。该句主语为“dragon boat racing, fireworks displays and other performances”,故谓语动词用复数形式;主语和动词hold之间为动宾关系,故用被动语态。
5.is 考查主谓一致。该句主语为“the most popular event”,是第三人称单数,故谓语动词用单数形式;该句讲述的是传统习惯,故用一般现在时。
6.luckier 考查形容词的比较级。句意:身上越潮湿,你便越幸运。该句使用了“the+比较级...the+比较级...”结构,此结构表示“越……就越……”。
7.to express 考查动词不定式的用法。句意:最后一天通常是给年轻人时间以玩游戏的方式来表达他们对彼此的爱。此处用动词不定式作目的状语。
8.vividly 考查副词。根据空后的exhibits可知,空处修饰该动词,故用副词形式。句意:泼水节生动地展示了傣族人民对水和音乐、舞蹈、食物以及服饰文化的尊重。
9.between 考查固定搭配。 between...and...为固定搭配,意为“在……和……之间”。句意:泼水节也是西双版纳和东南亚国家之间沟通的文化桥梁。
10.the 考查冠词。the same为固定搭配,意为“同样的”。
