It is 4 o’clock in the early morning. Everything but the computing room on the campus of the university appears as quiet and misty as the mysterious hell. In the computing room, 30 students with sleepy eyes, sit still at their desk, beating the dirty and worn keys. Staring at the colorful screen, they tap continuously for hours. For the other parts in the world, it might be in the middle of the night, nevertheless here time represents nothing. It is an entirely enclosed field. These young computer “hackers” are tracing a sort of stimulus (刺激), a drive so exciting and absorbing that it ignores nearly anything else in their lives and becomes the focus of their being. They are addicted (上瘾的) computer programmers. Some of these students have been glued to the console (电子设备的操纵台) for no less than twenty hours even with no break for meals or rest. Some have been sleeping on sofas and chairs in the computing room, trying to struggle for a few moments’ rest but hating to get too far away from their addicted machines.
It is not necessary for most of these students to be at the computing room in the middle of the night. What they are working belong to no assignments. They remain there because they desire to be — they can not resist the attraction of the computers.
Furthermore, they are in groups instead of being alone. There are hackers at computing rooms all over the country. In the unimaginable way, they focus on nothing but computer. They escape from schooling and live beyond friendship; they might have difficulty being employed, choosing to travel from one computing room to another. They may even give up personal health.
“There is one hacker in my memory. We actually had to lift him away from his chair to feed him and arrange him to rest and sleep. We truly worried about his health,” says a computing science professor at California University.
Professors of computer science are nowadays paying more attention to this hacker phenomenon and are on the watch for future hackers and more and more severe computer addicts. They believe firmly that hackers are not simply resulted from the close relationship with a machine. It is the result of social relationship with the attractive thinking machines, which are becoming nearly universal.

D．Their love for the computer is so deep that they want to be near their machines even when they sleep.

小题3:It can be reasonably inferred from the passage that ______.

A．the hacker phenomenon exists only at university computing rooms

B．it is not very easy for the “hackers” to find friends or jobs

C．university computing rooms are expecting outstanding programmers out of the “hackers”

D．the hacker phenomenon is partly due to the lack of the computing rooms

小题3:B
小题4:C
小题5:D

解析

试题分析：本文叙述了在大学的电脑机房里，到了早晨4点了，学生还在机房他们不是在做作业而是无法抗拒电脑的诱惑沉迷于电脑的“黑客”。但是这严重影响了他们的身体健康。
小题1:细节理解题。根据文章的第二段提到“What they are working belong to no assignments. They remain there because they desire to be—they can not resist the attraction of the computers.”表明这些学生是由于无法抗拒电脑的诱惑而非做作业才彻夜呆在电脑前的。可见是沉迷于电脑的学生。所以选D。
小题2:细节理解题。根据根据第一题的信息，这些学生不是主修电脑编程的最好的学生,而仅仅是沉迷于电脑的“黑客”。而其余的选项在文章中均有体现。故答案为A。
小题3:推理判断题。根据第三段提到“they might have difficulty being employed, choosing to travel from one computing room to another.”既然这些学生可以自由选择一个又一个的电脑房，那就可以推断出大学的电脑房是对所有人开放的。故选B。
小题4:推理判断题。根据第一段的最后两句话、第三段的最后一句话以及最后一段第一句话“Professors of computer science are nowadays shedding more light on this hacker phenomenon and are on the watch for latent hackers and more and more severe computer addictives.”都表明了作者的焦急态度。故选C。
小题5:标题归纳题。根据文章一开始就提到了沉迷于电脑的学生，然后又举了一个电脑“黑客”“废寝忘食”的例子。最后大学教授分析了“黑客”现象的发生原因。可见最适当的标题应该是D。
