Conversation Two
W: Welcome to this edition of Talk of the Nation. We're talking this hour about how and why people might become addicted to things other than drugs. [23]Dr. James at Maryland University has put together a support group for students who find themselves addicted to the Internet. He joins me now.
M: Thank you very much for inviting me.
W: [23]Is Internet addiction a relatively new thing?
M: Well, some people have been involved with the Internet for years and may have been addicted for a while. [23]It's certainly growing on college campuses.
W: How does it present itself?
M: Well, some of them have issues like relationship problems, or problems maintaining their grades because they are spending so much time on the Net.
W: I myself have a strong urge to go surfing on the Net whenever I have time. How do I know when my impulse to go online will turn me into an Internet addict?
M: Uh... I'm not sure the exact amount of time is really the issue, but I think a real important thing is to examine what's going on with you when you are not on the Net. [24]If you are beginning to feel anxious or depressed or empty or lonely and you really look forward to those times when you can be online to be connected with other people in that way, then, I think, a serious issue is starting to happen.
W: What if you start giving up other things, like going out for a walk... is that a symptom?
M: Well, people need to have some sort of balance in life. If you can, spend some time on the Internet and then take a walk at a different time of the day. [25]In fact, one of the things we suggest in the group is to somehow break the pattern. Go out and take a walk, and then come back before you get back online.
W: So that's how we can avoid Internet addiction. Thank you very much, Dr. James.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. What alarming phenomenon is Dr. James referring to?
正確答案：B
解析：選項為某種不良現象，第一、二輪的對話中兩次提到同一現象；addicted to the Internet，Internet addiction，說明這應該是Dr. James與主持人的談話主題，故答案為B。
24. What does Dr. James regard as a really serious issue?
正確答案：A
解析：選項為某種假設的情形，對話中恰恰也有個if從句，其中的重要信息詞anxious，depressed及句意與A完全一致。因此即使不聽問題也應該可以判斷出答案為A。
25. What does Dr. James suggest at the end of the conversation?
正確答案：C
解析：選項為動詞原形，往往是問打算、建議、要求。最后一輪對話中男士使用了幾個祈使句，并明確提出了建議，聽到we suggest，應該特別注意其所用動詞：break the pattern，故C為答案。
