It could also lead to dry eyes. But are screens criminals behind needing glasses? Not necessarily, according to Melanie Schmitt, an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin.‎ There has been an increase in cases of nearsightedness, but scientists don’t know if screens do the damage. “Several other factors can cause the phenomenon of nearsightedness, one of which is too much time spent indoors. Looking at a screen for too long can cause eye strain, but it doesn’t have any long lasting consequences,” Schmitt says.‎ A recent study by researchers in Madrid did find that LED lights—those used in screens—contributed to retina (视网膜) damage in the eyes of rats. However, more research is necessary to determine if the same effect occurs in humans.‎ You’re sure to feel the consequence of not taking screen breaks throughout the day. In order not to have digital eye strain, eye doctors say that you’d best take a 20-second break to look at something 20 feet away every 20 minutes. It also works a little bit if you adjust your computer to remove a glare or use eye drops to keep your eyes wet.‎ ‎“I always tell patients and parents that come in to see me the importance of getting children outside to play and be exposed in natural lighting,” Schmitt says. “This goes for adults, too. Going outside is an opportunity for the eyes to rest from near-work and look at distance instead.”‎ ‎32. What will happen if you fix your eyes on a computer screen too long?‎ A. You’ll feel tired all over. B. You’ll have a bad headache.‎ C. You’ll suffer from eye damage. D. You’ll lose your eyesight temporarily.‎ ‎33. In Schmitt’s opinion, which of the following can cause nearsightedness?‎ A. Staying indoors too long. B. Using LED lights.‎ C. Taking screen breaks. D. Using eye drops often.‎ ‎34. What’s the best way to prevent digital eye strain?‎ A. To keep eyes wet all the time. B. To follow the 20/20/20 rule.‎ C. To avoid doing much near-work. D. To sit as far from the computer as possible.‎ ‎35. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Are Screens Criminals Behind Needing Glasses? B. A Recent Study on Eye Damages C. How to Protect Your Eyes Timely? D. An Increase in Cases of Nearsightedness 参考答案：32-35 CABA ‎ ‎[二]‎ London East End Food Tour Feast your senses on the cooking scene of East London during a 3.5-hour walking tour of the London district.

The show is said to have the largest collection of new electronic devices in the world.‎ The show had many examples of “smart home” devices. “Smart home” technology is designed to make life easier for people by letting computers control many things inside our homes. One such device actually begins working outside the home, when someone arrives and rings the doorbell.‎ ‎“When someone comes to your front door and rings the doorbell, the light can turn on immediately. I get a notification when I’m halfway around the world that someone came, and I can start talking to the person who’s at my front door, and I can say, ‘Oh, here let me let you in,’ I can unlock the door for them very easily.” Said Vivint, a smart home service provider.‎ One electronics maker launched a device that lets people see and interact with their animals when they are away. The device, from Petcube, lets you remotely watch and talk to your pet through a personal device, according to a company official. It can even give the pet a treat—if you approve and order it.‎ For heating or cooling, there is a smart thermostat. This device can also send you a message if a big storm causes leaks of flooding. “We’re trying to catch it with just a few drips before it becomes a real big problem,” said Mike Sale of iDevices.‎ A concern for many homeowners is the possibility that someone else might find a way to attack these smart home devices. An official from Vivint said his company is sure that only owners of the home can gain use of information on the devices. Warren Katz from iDevices said his company employs engineers from the defense industry to help prevent hacking.‎ ‎12. What can be learned about the show?‎ A. It created much attraction to consumers.‎ B. It has been held in Las Vegas many times.‎ C. It only exhibited smart home devices.‎ D. It is the largest show ever held.‎ ‎13. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3?‎ A. To explain how to answer the door.‎ B. To illustrate a smart home device.‎ C. To tell a story about nice devices.‎ D. To introduce a home service provider.‎ ‎14. What may happen in the future according to the given examples?‎ A. Computers may replace human workers one day.‎ B. A stranger can come into your house even if you’re out.‎ C. The house can repair for itself if a storm causes damage.‎ D. You can take good care of your animals while you’re away.‎ ‎15. What can be inferred about the smart home device from the last paragraph?‎ A. Information on the devices is easy to get.‎ B. Many of the devices are not available now.‎ C. Homeowners are concerned about its operation.‎ D. Its safety can be guaranteed at present.‎ ‎【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D ‎【参考答案及解析】本文是一篇科技类说明文。本文主要讲述了新的科学技术的发展使得人们的生活变得更加的便捷，尤其是可以通过远程操控的"smart home"。‎ ‎12. 推理判断题。由第一段Many people traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada last week for the 50th Consumer Electronics Show, or CES. The show is said to have the largest ‎ collection of new electronic devices in the world.可知，许多人去拉斯维加斯去参观此次展览，这说明这次展览引起了消费者的广泛关注，选A。‎ ‎13. 写作意图题。第三段举例说明了有客来访，智能家居如何应对，目的在于介绍一款智能家居设备，故选B。‎ ‎14. 推理判断题。由第四段It can even give the pet a treat—if you approve and order it.可知，如果你赞同并且要求，它还可以款待你的宠物，由此推知你不在的时候，它也可以很好的照顾你的宠物，故选D。‎ ‎15. 推理判断题。由最后一段An official from Vivint said his company is sure that only owners of the home can gain use of information on the devices. Warren Katz from iDevices said his company employs engineers from the defense industry to help prevent hacking.可推知，目前，智能家居的安全性可以得到保证，选D。‎ 点睛：做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据。例如：小题4由最后一段An official from Vivint said his company is sure that only owners of the home can gain use of information on the devices. Warren Katz from iDevices said his company employs engineers from the defense industry to help prevent hacking.可知，官员说只有房子的主人才能获得这个设备的使用信息，并且他的公司雇佣了来自国防工业的工程师来帮助防止黑客攻击。故推知目前智能家居的安全性可以得到保证，选D。‎ ‎[四]‎ In 1869, the Smiley family purchased an area of land about 100 miles north of New York City. Over time, some of their property and much of the surrounding landscape became the Mohonk Preserve, which has since grown to 8,000 acres and attracts visitors and rock climbers.‎ But the Mohonk Preserve also has a long scientific legacy. In the 1930s, Dan Smiley, a descendent of the original owners, began keeping track of the plants and animals that lived in the area.‎ Megan Napoli is a research ecologist with the Mohonk Preserve in New York. She ‎ thinks Smiley’s efforts produced a rare long-term data set of observations, which is useful for studying the impacts of climate change. For instance, other research has shown that songbirds are migrating north earlier and earlier in the spring.‎ It's important for the birds to arrive at the proper time in the spring, because they need to time their arrival with the insect emergence. So they need to be here to establish their nesting sites, lay their eggs. Once the eggs hatch, they have their baby birds, so they need to time it when the insects are most abundant.‎ Napoli has begun analyzing about 76,000 observations of songbird migration dates collected by Smiley and his team to see if they, too, show that climate change has altered the timing of migrations. Her results suggest that they do.‎ Napoli found that short-distance migrants that spend their winters in the southern U. S. now arrive an average of eleven days earlier than they did in the 1930s. Long-distance migrants that overwinter in the tropics arrive roughly a week earlier. Napoli presented her results at a recent Ecological Society of America meeting in Portland, Oregon.‎ Meanwhile, who knows how many other long-term, personal data collections like Smiley’s are out there, waiting to be discovered and to help improve official attempts to track the planet’s changes.‎ ‎8. What do we know about Dan Smiley?‎ A. He lived in New York City.‎ B. He was a scientific researcher.‎ C. He owned the Mohonk Preserve.‎ D. He kept a record of wildlife.‎ ‎9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A. The birds’ birth. B. The birds’ arrival.‎ C. The nest building. D. The insect appearance.‎ ‎10. What does Megan Napoli think of Smiley’s long-term record?‎ A. It has affected the birds’ migration.‎ B. It challenges the previous research.‎ C. It has changed official attitudes.‎ D. It is of great value to her research.‎ ‎11. What can we learn from Napoli’s research?‎ A. It is totally based on Smiley’s long-term notes.‎ B. Scientists have to rely on more personal data.‎ C. Climate change affects birds’ migration time.‎ D. It contributes greatly to other personal research.‎ ‎【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C ‎【解析】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲了Dan Smiley保持记录野生动植物，纳波利的研究表明气候变化影响鸟类的迁徙时间。‎ ‎8. 细节理解题。由第二段In the 1930s, Dan Smiley, a descendent of the original owners, began keeping track of the plants and animals that lived in the area.可知，史迈利保持记录生活在该区域的野生动植物，选D。‎ ‎9. 推理判断题。根据前文It's important for the birds to arrive at the proper time in the spring, because they need to time their arrival with the insect emergence.（春天鸟儿在适当的时间到达非常重要，因为它们要让到达时间与昆虫出现时间一致），所以so they need to time it when the insects are most abundant.（所以它们需要在昆虫最充裕的时候到达），故选B。‎ ‎11. 细节理解题。根据第五段Napoli has begun analyzing about 76,000 observations of songbird migration dates collected by Smiley and his team to see if they, too, show that climate change has altered the timing of migrations.可知，纳波利的研究表明气候变化的确影响了鸟类的迁徙时间，选C。‎ ‎[五]‎ It is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented. And at first sight, it looks like the easiest. Competitors have to do two things. The first is to stand still. The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.‎ This is where things start getting difficult. Lots of people are doing the same thing. And the winner of the “handathon” contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time. That person gets to own the car.‎ It still seems to be an easy thing to do. At the beginning it is. Anyone can stand still. But when the contest has been going for four or five days, standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention. After a few days, the hand seems to belong to someone else—someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.‎ Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat, drink or do whatever else is necessary. No one is allowed to lean on the car for support. Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. They also need to be able to develop special skills.‎ Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter. Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly don't seem to do much preparation. Most say they will prepare by “getting lots of sleep”. Others say they will “eat healthy food” or “pray for success”. The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.‎ Handathons are competitions, but there is little rivalry（敌对）between competitors. They help each other out and keep each other's spirits up. People who drop out early return with food, drink and encouragement.‎ ‎8．The reason why the sport is called “handathon” is that competitors ________.‎ A． cover a long distance B． keep hands in place for long C． wave hands as long as possible D． do the same thing as in a marathon ‎9．What ability is likely to be needed most in a handathon?‎ A． Standing without any support. B． Not leaning on the car.‎ C． Eating and drinking in five minutes. D． Having strong powers of attention.‎ ‎10．What is the writer’s opinion about handathon?‎ A． It is not as easy as it looks at first.‎ B． It is the easiest of all sports.‎ C． It can purify people’s spirits.‎ D． It is not good competing in a handathon.‎ ‎11．Which of the following about handathon is not right?‎ A． The person who takes part in it should stand still.‎ B． The person who takes part in it has to place his hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.‎ C． The person who takes part in it can have a break during the course of the competition.‎ D． Handathons are competitions where competitors seldom encourage each other.‎ ‎【答案】‎ ‎8．D9．D10．A11．D ‎【解析】这堪称是最奇怪的运动了。把手放在汽车上，站立不动，坚持时间最长的人会得到这部车，你见过这样的“手拉松”吗？本文就这种马拉松运动做出了详细地介绍，讲述了运动过程，运动中最难的部分以及运动受欢迎的原因。‎ ‎8．推理判断题。由第二段the winner of the “handathon” contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time.可知，坚持时间最久的人是获胜者。这跟马拉松赛在考验人的耐力方面是一样的，因此选D ‎9．细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention.可知，获胜者需要有很强的注意力。选D。‎ ‎10．作者态度题。在第一段作者就说“它好像是很容易”，第三段“那仍然看起来是很简单的事情”，但是马上来了个转折“But …，standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world.”，可知作者的观点：它不像看上去那么简单。选A。‎ ‎11．细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，这种比赛几乎没有敌对的竞争对手。他们互相帮助，保持彼此的精神。早退的人会带着食物、饮料和鼓励回来。因此D项不符合原文描述，选D。‎ ‎[六]‎ Traditionally, across the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.‎ Boys at single—sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to（和……相符）the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.‎ The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.‎ Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warmed that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.‎ The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.‎ But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys’ learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.‎ Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine（女性的）and prefer the modern genre（类型）in which violence and sexism are major themes,” James wrote.‎ Single—sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be “masterful and in charge” in relationships. “In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that ‎ means,” the study reported.‎ ‎32. The author believes that a single-sex school would ________.‎ A. force boys to hide their emotions to be “real men”‎ B. help boys to be more competitive in schools C. encourage boys to express their emotions more freely D. naturally strengthen boys traditional image of a man ‎33. It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys ________.‎ A. behave more responsibly B. grow up more healthily C. perform relatively better D. receive a better education ‎34. According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single—sex schools is that ________.‎ A. teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys B. boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted C. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in D. teaching can be designed to promote boys' team spirit ‎35. What does the underlined word “acute” in Paragraph 7 mean?‎ A. lovely. B. sharp. C. serious. D. dull 参考答案：32--35 CCAB ‎[七]‎ It is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented.

Sometimes she only tells them to the most careful observers.‎ George de Mestral was a Swiss engineer who enjoyed walking with his dog in ‎ the woods. One day, after a walk, he looked down and saw some seeds (种子) stuck to his trousers. He was a little bit angry because the seeds were hard to remove. He pulled a few of the seeds off of his trousers and examined them under a microscope (显微镜). What he saw amazed him: tiny hooks (钩子) on the ends of the seeds. De Mestral saw a new way to stick things together and keep them attached. ‎ He was inspired to turn his accidental discovery into a useful product. He borrowed money from a bank, gave up his job, and gave all of his time and energy to the task. At first, people refused to take him, and the idea, seriously. He took his idea to a weaving center, where he did manage to get the help of one weaver, who made two products out of cotton that worked. However, the cotton wore out quickly. Finally, by using nylon instead of cotton, he made his invention work. It took ten years to develop it. He called it Velcro.‎ Today, Velcro is used everywhere: in shoes, purses, and children’s toys. We can think de Mestral for discovering and developing a wonderful way to attach things. But the real thanks should go to nature for making the secret known.‎ ‎21.

On Saturday and Sunday, you slept in, getting four extra hours. On Monday morning, you were feeling so bright-eyed, and you only had one cup of coffee, instead of your usual two. But don't be cheated by your energy: You're still carrying around a heavy load of sleepiness, or what experts call "sleep debt" -- in this case something like six hours, almost a full night's sleep.‎ Sleep debt is the difference between the amount of sleep you should be getting and the amount you actually get. It's a deficit (赤字) that grows every time we skim some extra minutes off our nightly sleep. "People accumulate（积累）sleep debt gradually without being noticed," says psychiatrist William C. Dement, founder of the Stanford University Sleep Research Centre. Studies show that such short-term lack of sleep leads to a foggy brain, worsened vision, and trouble remembering. Long-term effects include obesity and heart disease. A survey by the National Sleep Foundation reports that we're losing one hour of sleep each night -- more than two full weeks of sleep each year.‎ The good news is that, like all debts, with some work, sleep debt can be repaid. Adding an extra hour or two of sleep a night is the way to catch up on sleep debt. For the long-term lack of sleep, take it easy for a few months to get back into a natural sleep pattern. Go to bed when you are tired, and allow your body to wake you in the morning (no alarm clock allowed). You may find yourself catatonic (有紧张感的) in the beginning of the recovery cycle: Expect to have ten hours' shut-eye per night. As the days pass, however, the amount of sleeping time will gradually decrease.‎ So earn back that lost sleep -- and follow the orders of your inner sleep needs, and you'll feel better. "When you put away sleep debt, you become superman," says Stanford's Dement, talking about the improved mental and physical abilities that come with being well rested.‎ ‎32. The example of sleep math is used to show .‎ ‎ A. in what case you build up a sleep debt ‎ B. why you need six hours' sleep every night ‎ C. why you are full of energy even when lacking sleep ‎ D. in what case you should drink coffee to keep energetic ‎33. The author begins Paragraph 2 with .‎ ‎ A. an example B. a definition（定义） C. an argument D. a discussion ‎34. By saying the underlined sentence in the last paragraph, Dement means .‎ ‎ A. you can get enough sleep with the superman’s help ‎ B. you can achieve your goals with a sleep debt ‎ C. you will be in a good state with enough sleep ‎ D. you will be clever if you accumulate sleep debt ‎35. What might be the most suitable title for the text?‎ ‎ A. How Can You Keep Energetic? B. Can You Have a Good Sleep?‎ ‎ C. What Is Sleep Debt? D. Can You Catch up on Sleep Debt?‎ 参考答案：32-35 ABCD
