四、阅读理解
We humans love to stare into our smart devices.We gaze for hours—about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day—at our computers,smartphones,tablets and televisions.Is all this staring bad for us It might be,mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.
Blue light is a type of electromagnetic(电磁的) radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy.While it’s true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances,there’s no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes.But many people still think it is,which is why blue-light-blocking glasses are so popular.So do the glasses work
“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye,but there’s no evidence that it may be causing serious damage,”Dr Rahul Khurana,clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology,told Business Insider.
Blue light exposure is nothing new.In fact,the sun is the largest source of blue light.Moreover,blue light is also present in LED light.But if blue light isn’t harmful,then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we’re looking at our screens The answer is eyestrain(眼疲劳):More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain.And blue light,it seems,isn’t the cause.Instead,our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices.So if eyestrain is the issue,blue-light-blocking glasses are probably of little use.
1.What do we know about blue light
A.It is a kind of nuclear radiation.
B.It has the shortest wavelength.
C.It may come from electronic devices.
D.It consumes a great deal of energy.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可推知,电子设备会发出蓝光。
2.What causes the popularity of blue-light-blocking glasses
A.Evidence of their benefits to eyes.
B.Belief in blue light’s harmful effect.
C.Widespread use of smart devices.
D.Scientific understanding of blue light.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二、三句可知,防蓝光眼镜流行的原因是人们认为蓝光会对眼睛有害。
3.What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A.Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.
B.Eye problems are not easy to deal with.
C.Blue light may connect with tired eyes.
D.Rubbing eyes makes people strained.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段的前三句可知,阳光是蓝光最大的来源,而且蓝光也存在在LED灯中。由此可推知,接触蓝光几乎是不可避免的。
4.According to the text,wearing blue-light-blocking glasses may be .
A.tiring B.harmful
C.useless D.beneficial
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,戴防蓝光眼镜可能是没有用处的。

Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work.They also listen to the news about sports,the weather,politics,and activities of the American people.Most of the radio broadcast is music.
Pop or popular music singers make much money.They make CDs or tapes which radio stations use in every state.Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country,young people buy his or her tapes.Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer.Wherever the singer goes,all the young people want to meet him or her.Now the singer has become a national star.
There are other kinds of music.One is called folk music.It tells stories about the common life of Americans.Another is called western or country music.This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching.Today,any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.
Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music.Music for instruments is called orchestral music,such as the symphonies of Beethoven.There is opera for singers.There is ballet for dancers like the story of “Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai” in China.

How did music begin Did our early ancestors first start by beating things together to create rhythm 1 Has music always been important in human society,and if so,why These are some questions explored in a recent article.The answers reveal that the story of music is,in many ways,the story of humans.
So,what is music This is difficult to answer,as everyone has their own idea.“ 2 ” says Jeremy Montagu,author of the article.A mother humming (哼唱) to calm her baby would probably count as music.
Another important component of music is rhythm.Our early ancestors may have created rhythmic music by clapping their hands. 3 Especially when somebody realised that smacking stones or sticks together doesn’t hurt your hands as much.Many of these instruments are likely to have been made from soft materials like wood,and so haven’t survived.What have survived are bone pipes.
So,we know that music is old,and may have been with us from when humans first evolved. 4 There are many possible functions for music.One is dancing.Another obvious reason for music is entertainment.Music can also be used for communication,often over large distances,using instruments such as drums or horns.
5 “Music leads to bonding,such as bonding between mother and child or bonding between groups,” explains Montagu.He concludes:“It has even been suggested that music,in causing such bonding,created not only the family but society itself.”
A.(It’s) Sound that conveys emotion.
B.Were they the earliest forms of music
C.What types of instruments did they use
D.But why did it arise and why has it existed
E.More importantly,music brings people together.
F.This may be linked to the earliest musical instruments.
G.It is a strong regular repeated pattern of sounds and movements.

The UN has recognised the contributions of volunteers on Dec.5,International Volunteer Day.Here,the four things are offered to consider before taking the leap into overseas volunteering.
Choose your organisation carefully.
1 Volunteering may be a fund-raising mechanism(筹资机制) for a development project.For others,volunteering is fundamental to their programmes,and those serving take on professional roles in longer-term development.
2
Volunteers want to help and make a difference,but most know this isn’t a purely selfless act.You will learn new skills,broaden your horizons and come to better understand yourself and the world. 3 Reflect on your motivations.You want to help reduce global poverty or protect the natural world,but what else Have you always wanted to travel,but not as a tourist Work with kids When you understand your motivations,you’ll be in a better position to choose the option that is right for you.
Work alongside the local community.
Often times,travellers volunteer in isolation(隔离) from the local community that they are working in. 4 This enables you to ensure you are committing to a project that promotes long term and sustainable change.
A volunteer trip is just the beginning.
5 Further ignite(点燃) the global change maker in you by taking your experience one step further when you return home.Spread the message of your transformative experience to others,helping to spark the change within them.
A.And that’s all OK.
B.Know why you’re going.
C.Don’t assume you know it all.
D.Communities always welcome volunteers.
E.Volunteer travel is a life-changing experience.
F.Some organisations require you to pay your own way,and often include a fee.
G.Make sure to travel with organisations that have strong partnerships with local communities.
