Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2020·江西省重点高中盟校第一次联考)
In the remote mountains of South Korea,about as far away as one can get from the country's hightech cities,teenage Internet addicts are turning up for a 12day boot camp.
Kyle Won's addiction is out of control. He spends 10 hours a day on the Internet. Now Kyle's smartphone is taken away.“I'm really worried because I won't have my phone for 12 days but I trust other things will fill my time,” he said. The teachers here do what they can to get them socializing again; for many,the only friends they have had are online.“I have relationships on the Internet and a real distance has grown with my reallife friends and I know it's not good,” Kyle said. The teachers show them other possibilities and bring back dreams and hopes that have been buried by their addictions. “We teach them methods of selfmanaging their desire to use the Internet so they can continue to use them when they go back home,” Shim Yongchool,a teacher here,said. After just two days Kyle said it was helping. He's set a good example to others though he hasn't reached the goal completely.
South Korean psychiatrists (精神病学家) are urging more actions as they are finding evidence that too much screen time is a barrier to the developing minds. Professor Kang Seak Young from Dankook University said the addiction was damaging critical thinking. “It affects the frontal lobes(额叶) which are important for critical analysis,”Professor Kang said.“ Reading a book while guessing what happens in the story next shows activity in frontal lobes but playing popular computer games for a long time shows no activity.”
South_Korea_is_one_of_the_most_wired_nations_on_Earth,but_it_does_have_a_cost.One in every 10 kids is an addict,so the country is now learning how to manage its hightech future to avoid more serious consequences.

A [考查句意理解。根据画线句“South Korea is one of the most wired nations on Earth,but it does have a cost”和其后的“One in every 10 kids is an addict”可知,韩国是世界上网络最发达的国家之一,但这也是有“代价”的,网络的普遍导致韩国十分之一的孩子染上网瘾。因此画线句应表明了事物都有两面性,有利亦有弊。故A项There are two sides to every coin“凡事都有两面性”正确。]
