英语六级听力原文:

Good computer skills are desirable in today's digitalage, and playing computer games can help childrenimprove those skills—as long as they don't overdo it,scientists warn.

(23) The British study involved 600 teenagers over aperiod of two years and found that those who playedcomputer games less than once a week achieved better grades at school than ones who playedthem twice a day or more often. The study also found that daily use of social media did notaffect school performance. "It was clear that social media didn't have any impact. (24) I thinkthat's more because social media is part and parcel of every child's life. It's the way theycommunicate. It's the way they keep in touch with their friends." the researchers said.

Parents increasingly complain of having difficulty getting their children away from computergames. Some even seek help for their teenagers who they say are addicted to them.

(23) The study did not look into addiction, but suggested computer games can cause childrento stay up late in the evenings, making them tired and less able to focus at school the next day.

Mark Starkey, the longtime owner of the Heart of Gaming computer game outlet in London,said there is also the difference between older games and the new ones. "The ability to makegames a lot more bigger, a lot more detailed, a lot more intricate is here now. (25) It is goingto hold their attention longer. It is going to hold it a lot longer, because there is always wantingto progress through the story line—Oh my god, I have to see what happens next, etc.Whereas, again, (25) the old games challenge more your hand-eye coordination, your speed,your timing, your reactions, rather than perhaps your imagination."

The games industry has long claimed there is no proven link between games and addiction. Butthe new study says additional research is needed to establish the effect of prolific computergame-playing on performance at school.

23. What does the British study mentioned in the lecture find out?

24. According to the study, why daily use of social media didn't have any impact?

25. What is the difference between the old games and the new ones, according to MarkStarkey?

参考答案:

23、B

【习题解析】听力原文中在描述这项英国的研究时提到实验发现玩电脑游戏的频率少于一周一次的学生要比频率大于等于一天两次的学生的学习成绩好,故选项 B 为答案,

24、D

【习题解析】该项英国研究表明社交媒体的使用并没有什么影响,对此研究人员给出的原因是社交媒体已经是每个孩子生活的基本组成部分了。这就是他们与人沟通、跟朋友保持联络的方式。因此选项 D 为答案。

25、B

【习题解析】题干中的 Mark Starkey 为答题关键词,本题问 Mark Starkey 认为新旧游戏的区别在哪里?听力原文中提到现在的新游戏更大、更为精细,而且变得越来越复杂。它会长时间吸引玩家们的注意力。而老游戏更多的是挑战你的手眼协调能力、你的速度、你对时机的绝佳把握、你的反应,而非你的想象。由此可知,只有选项 B 符合听力原文内容,为答案。
