【題目】 Laboratory studies have shown that prolonged exposure to high intensity blue light damages retinal (視網膜的) cells in mice.1So, why is there the disconnect between blue light's effects on rodent(嚙齒類動物) eyes and human eyes?

2We have protective elements, such as macular pigments (黃斑色素) and the natural blue-blocking ability of the crystalline lens (晶狀體). These structures absorb blue light before it reaches the delicate retina.

Just because blue light isn't harming your retina, it doesn't mean your electronic devices are harmless.3Mounting evidence suggests that screen time before bed increases the time it takes to fall sleep. It also robs you of restorative rapid-eye movement seep, dulls focus, and reduces brain activity the next day.

4

First, turn off your electronic devices before bed. Outside of the bedroom, when you do look at your screens, lower the brightness.

Second, follow the“20-20-20”rule The American Optometric Association(美國驗光學會) defines this rule as taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet in the distance. 5

Third, use lubricating eye drops before extended computer use. This method will build up the body's natural tears and keep the eye's surface water-bearing.

A.This will allow your eyes to relax.

B.Human eyes are different from rodent eyes.

C.That's why it's so important to have your eyes tested regularly.

D.Because of is wavelength, blue light dos disrupt healthy sleep physiology (生理機能).

E.But epidemiological (流行病學的) studies on real people tell a different story.

F.Consumers often don't think about the impact digital devices might have on their vision.

G.There are ways to make your screen viewing more comfortable and more helpful to seep.

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。作者給了幾個關于如何防止屏幕損害視力的建議。

1根據(jù)前文“Laboratory studies have shown that prolonged exposure to high intensity blue light damages retinal (視網膜的) cells in mice.”可知實驗室研究表明,長期暴露在高強度藍光下會損害小鼠的視網膜細胞。后文“why is there the disconnect between blue light's effects on rodent eyes and human eyes?”可知藍光對嚙齒類動物眼睛的影響和對人類的眼睛影響不一樣。前后內容上形成了對比,連接上下文,E項(但針對普通人的流行病學研究卻講述了一個不同的故事。)切題。故選E項。

2根據(jù)后文“We have protective elements, such as macular pigments (黃斑色素) and the natural blue-blocking ability of the crystalline lens (晶狀體). ”可知我們的眼睛有保護性成分,例如黃斑色素和晶狀體的天然藍光阻擋能力。也就是說本段在講我們的眼睛與嚙齒類動物眼睛的不同之處?崭裉幵诙问祝偨Y全段,B項(人眼和嚙齒動物的眼睛不同。)切題。故選B項。

3根據(jù)前文“Just because blue light isn't harming your retina, it doesn't mean your electronic devices are harmless.”可知僅僅因為藍光不會傷害你的視網膜,并不意味著你的電子設備就沒有害處。根據(jù)后文“Mounting evidence suggests that screen time before bed increases the time it takes to fall sleep. It also robs you of restorative rapid-eye movement seep, dulls focus, and reduces brain activity the next day.”可知越來越多的證據(jù)表明,睡覺前使用屏幕會增加入睡時間。它還會讓你無法完成恢復精力的快速動眼睡眠,讓你在第二天無法集中注意力,大腦活躍度下降。通過前后文可知這一段是關于藍光對眼睛的影響的,連接上下文,D項(藍光的波長導致它確實會擾亂健康睡眠的生理規(guī)律。)切題。故選D項。

4根據(jù)下文“First, turn off your electronic devices before bed. Outside of the bedroom, when you do look at your screens, lower the brightness.”可知作者建議讀者首先睡覺前關掉你的電子設備。在其他場合看屏幕時,要調低亮度。最后兩段也都是作者給出的建議。根據(jù)位置和文章內容判斷,這里的空格處要總結后面幾段,G項(這里有一些方法能讓你看屏幕更舒服,并降低其對睡眠的影響。)切題。故選G項。

5根據(jù)前文“Second, follow the“20-20-20”rule The American Optometric Association(美國驗光學會) defines this rule as taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet in the distance. ”可知第二個建議是遵循“三個 20”原則。美國驗光協(xié)會將其定義為:每隔 20 分鐘休息 20 秒,并注視 20 英尺外的物體。根據(jù)前后兩段可以觀察出這幾段的格式都是先給一個建議,然后解釋這個建議有什么好處。所以這里要選一個選項解釋“三個 20”原則的好處。A項(這會讓眼睛有眨眼和放松的機會。)切題。故選A項。

當文中出現(xiàn)明顯的結構詞、詞組,或空格句在一些特殊位置,如段首、段尾等,要考慮文章、段落的行文結構,根據(jù)空格句在文中所起的作用,來考慮作答。

空格句在段首,可能有以下兩種情況。

①段落主題句:閱讀后文的內容,推斷出段落主題,選出正確選項。

②過渡句:在后文找不到解題線索時,就要想到空格句子可能起到承上啟下的作用,試著從上一段的結尾處尋找線索。正確選項通常與上一段結尾能夠自然地銜接起來。

比如第2小題,空格句在段首。根據(jù)后文可知這段在講人類眼睛的特別之處,B項(人眼和嚙齒動物的眼睛不同。)正好能夠總結這一段的內容。答案選B項。

【題目】How AI Protects Us

We should consider AI not as something competing with us, but as something that can strengthen our abilities. 1 And it might help keep us safe in the 21st century.

Predict infectious (傳染性的) diseases

The AI in medicine is a system that combines the time and location of each new infectious disease. “These are all factors that determine how the disease will spread,” explains a researcher. 2 It will allow public health officials to take action early for locals.

Keep hunger from the door

Researchers develop an automated system aimed at fighting against diseases in crops. The Mcrops project allows local farmers to take pictures of their plants and use computers that have been trained to spot the signs of the four main diseases that are responsible for damaging crops. 3

Fight cancer

Cancer causes more than 8.8 million deaths worldwide and 14 million people are diagnosed with some form of cancer every year. 4 Now Google and IBM have been applying their AI technology to this problem.

5

The task of balancing power supplies is getting harder. The spread of smart meters — digital energy monitors that automatically record usage - is also providing more data than ever about how and when consumers use energy. The EU alone plans to have 500 million smart meters in homes by 2020.

A.Record the locations smartly.

B.Keep the balance of power supplies

C.Thus, the farmers can have a good harvest.

D.The system can also help to predict the disease.

E.This is because AI has an ability that’s far beyond humans.

F.But now people have no ideas how to deal with the terrible problem.

G.Yet catching cancers as early as possible can greatly improve a patient’s chances of survival.

【題目】On March 17, people around the world celebrate the Irish holiday of Saint Patrick’s Day. It is a major holiday in Ireland, but the rest of the world has influenced its celebration as much as the Irish themselves.

Most Americans think of Saint Patrick’s Day as a big party centered around drinking alcohol. But its beginnings in Ireland were religious, says Mike Cronin, a professor of Irish history with Boston College of Massachusetts.

Ireland is a mostly Roman Catholic country. Saint Patrick lived in Ireland more than 2,000 years ago. He is widely considered to have established Christianity in the country. The Church honored him with a holy day in the 17th century. March 17 marks the date of his death. The average Irish person honored March 17 quietly. Attending church services was the main activity. In fact, most businesses that served alcohol would close in honor of the day.

In the early 1900s, Ireland’s government made St. Patrick’s Day an official holiday. By the 1960s, towns across Ireland started celebrating the holiday with parades and music. In Ireland today, St. Patrick’s Day is a four-day public celebration that includes parades, music, food, and games.

For Irish people living outside Ireland, Saint Patrick’s Day became a chance to celebrate their Irish identity and culture. Now, countries and cities around the world celebrate March 17 in creative ways. Many countries hold Saint Patrick’s Day parades. Famous monuments, including the Great Wall of China, the Niagara Falls, and the Gateway of India in Mumbai will all be colored by green light for the day.

Cronin says that the worldwide popularity of Saint Patrick’s Day has helped the Irish government, which uses the holiday as a form of diplomacy. And for a small island of 4.5 to 5 million people it’s quite remarkable that they have that kind of soft power.

1How did average Irish people celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day in the 17th century?

A. Drinking alcohol. B. Parading in the streets.

C. Attending church services peacefully. D. Coloring well-known monuments green.

2What can we learn from the passage?

A. Saint Patrick’s Day is the most significant day in the US.

B. Saint Patrick’s Day plays a role in foreign affairs in Ireland today.

C. Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated worldwide today as in the 17th century.

D. On Saint Patrick’s Day, parades and parties are held throughout America.

3What is the passage mainly about?

A. The origin of Saint Patrick’s Day.

B. The celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day.

C. The influence of Saint Patrick’s Day on the world.

D. The role of Saint Patrick’s Day in Irish diplomacy.

4What is Cronin’s attitude towards the popularity of Saint Patrick’s Day?

A. Unclear. B. Neutral. C. Negative. D. Positive.
