Too much screen time may be harmful to your health. First, it is bad for your eyes. A researcher called Sarah Hinkley says the problem comes from the blue light that the screen gives out. Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause eye strain (劳损), headaches and dry eyes. So it is a good idea to take a break every 15 minutes when you are working at a computer or using a smartphone. Second, screen use can do harm to children’s brains (大脑). A new study shows that using screens too much can affect (影响) how children’s brains grow. If children use screens for more than one hour a day, they might have lower levels of white matter in their brains. White matter is a key to the development of language and reading skills. So it is wise to cut down the time of children using all kinds of screens. Third, using screens too much will affect your sleep. According to a study, about 95% of the people between the ages of 13 and 64 use electronics (电子器件) before bed, especially the young people under 20. Doctors say that the light from those electronics at night may make you excited before you go to bed. Then it’s hard for you to get enough sleep. So you’d better turn off smartphones, TVs, and all other screens an hour before your bedtime. To keep healthy, doctors and researchers strongly advise that you shouldn’t use screens for long hours. 36. The blue light from your screens can cause ________. A. eye strain B. headaches C. dry eyes D. A, B and C 37. According to the passage, you can’t sleep well because you ________. A. take a break every 15 minutes B. use screens too much before bedtime C. are the people from 13 to 64 D. have lower levels of white matter 38 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Using smartphones for long hours does harm to your eyes. B. The light from electronics at night may make you excited. C. A lot of screen time affects children’s brain growth. D. People of all ages mustn’t use electronics. 39. You may read the passage in ________. A. a magazine B. a travel diary C. a guidebook D. a novel (小说) 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The ways to use screens. B. The ways to keep healthy. C. The harm of using screens too much. D. The advantages (优点) of using screens. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. D 39. A 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了屏幕使用过多对人的三点危害。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause eye strain (劳损), headaches and dry eyes.”可知，屏幕的蓝光能够导致眼睛劳损、头痛和眼睛干涩。故选D。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Third, using screens too much will affect your sleep.”可知，睡前使用太多的屏幕会影响睡眠。故选B。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“To keep healthy, doctors and researchers strongly advise that you shouldn’t use screens for long hours.”可知，人们不应该长时间使用屏幕，不是不允许使用电子产品，D选项表述错误。故选D。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。本文主要讲述了屏幕使用过多对人的三点危害，可能来自杂志。故选A。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“It might be fun to use your smartphone, but be careful. Too much screen time may be harmful to your health.”及全文可知，本文主要讲述了屏幕使用过多对人的三点危害。故选C。 D If you have a brother or sister, you already know you are different from each other. You live together in the same house and with the same parents, but you have different personalities. Why is this? One possible reason is the way your parents treat you. First-born children receive all the attention from their parents. Most families have twice as many photos of a first-born than any other child. Parents usually give first-borns more responsibility(责任) and depend on them to take care of younger brothers and sisters. As a result, first-borns are often responsible, hard-wording and serious. They often want to do well at school and work. There are more first-born American presidents than second or last-born children—for example, George W. Bush, George Washington, and Lyndon Baines Johnson. When a second child arrives, parents are not so excited. The second child has to compete with the first-born for the parents’ attention and love. These children often choose different sports and hobbies to do well at school and work, but have to be creative to get their family’s attention. They are often friendly and cool. Many famous talk-show hosts were born last. 41. The writer thinks that the second children are often ________. A. outgoing and serious B. cool and friendly C. hard-working and serious D. creative and responsible 42. The underlined word “personalities” means ________ in the passage. A. 友好 B. 冷静 C. 个性 D. 智商 43. ________ is usually the most serious in the family according to the passage. A. The eldest child B. The second child C. The youngest child D. The father 44. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. the second child is very similar to the first-born child B. brothers and sisters usually have the same personalities C. it’s easy for the second child to get his or her parents’ attention D. there are more first-born successful people than second or last-born people 45. The passage is mainly about ________. A. birth order and personalities B. the personalities of the second child in a family C. the personalities of the eldest child in a family D. the personalities of the youngest child in a family 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. A 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述姐妹或是兄妹之间性格不同的原因。父母常会给第一个孩子更多的责任，所以长子多有责任心，努力。而第二个孩子出生后会和第一个孩子比较，所以他们很友好但是冷酷。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They are often friendly and cool.”可知，他们通常友好冷静，故选B。 【42题详解】 词义猜测题。结合后文“They often want to do well at school and work.”可知，他们通常在学校和工作上做的很好，说明他们好胜，所以单词“personalities”指的是“个性”，故选C。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Parents usually give first-borns more responsibility(责任) and depend on them to take care of younger brothers and sisters. As a result, first-borns are often responsible, hard-wording and serious.”可知，父母通常会给第一个孩子更多的责任，并依靠他们来照顾弟弟妹妹。因此，长子往往是负责任的、措辞强硬的、严肃的，故选A。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据“As a result, first-borns are often responsible, hard-wording and serious. They often want to do well at school and work.

But Yang Zhiyang, a young man from Shaanxi, does it well. Yang’s mother, Su Jing, got ALS (渐冻症) in 2010 and she can’t do normal things easily. Since Yang’s father had to work for long hours to make money, Yang started to take care of his mother after finishing college in 2020. Yang helps his mother with daily activities. Feeding his mother a bowl of rice usually takes about an hour. Every time his mother exercises, he takes her hands and cheers her up. To make it more fun, he often sings to her. Su has difficulty speaking, but she can “talk” to her son in another way. “My mother usually gives me a message through a look,” Yang says. “For example, when she wants to rest, she will look at me and then turns her head towards the bedroom. When she needs water, she’ll look at the cup on the table.” “____26____ I’m just doing what a son should do,” Yang says. His mom also has something to say, “It is my son’s company (陪伴) and care that make me stronger. In the days to come, I will bravely move forward, breaking through the waves (大浪).” 26. What happened in 2010? A. Yang finished college. B. Yang’s father got a job. C. Yang’s mother fell ill. D. Yang’s family moved to Shaanxi. 27. What can we learn from the third paragraph? A.

Go to her office every Monday, Wednesday and Friday if you need help. You can also send her e-mails at hunt psychology @ mail. com. Dear Ms. Hunt, I can’t get on with my deskmate. I shouted at her yesterday because she looked through my things when I played ping-pong outside. We didn’t talk to each other today. Can you give me some advice? Mike Dear Ms. Hunt, My mom is too strict and I have no time to relax on weekends. I have to do chores and go to volleyball practice on Saturday. I am busy on Sunday, too. I have to take a lesson in the afternoon, because I’m poor at math. What can I do? Cindy Dear Ms. Hunt, I have a good friend at school and she is nice to me.

Why not have a good talk with your mom? D. If she says sorry to you, you can forget about it. C It might be fun to use your smartphone, but be careful. Too much screen time may be harmful to your health. First, it is bad for your eyes. A researcher called Sarah Hinkley says the problem comes from the blue light that the screen gives out. Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause eye strain (劳损), headaches and dry eyes. So it is a good idea to take a break every 15 minutes when you are working at a computer or using a smartphone. Second, screen use can do harm to children’s brains (大脑). A new study shows that using screens too much can affect (影响) how children’s brains grow. If children use screens for more than one hour a day, they might have lower levels of white matter in their brains. White matter is a key to the development of language and reading skills. So it is wise to cut down the time of children using all kinds of screens. Third, using screens too much will affect your sleep. According to a study, about 95% of the people between the ages of 13 and 64 use electronics (电子器件) before bed, especially the young people under 20. Doctors say that the light from those electronics at night may make you excited before you go to bed. Then it’s hard for you to get enough sleep. So you’d better turn off smartphones, TVs, and all other screens an hour before your bedtime. To keep healthy, doctors and researchers strongly advise that you shouldn’t use screens for long hours. 36. The blue light from your screens can cause ________. A. eye strain B. headaches C. dry eyes D. A B and C 37. According to the passage, you can’t sleep well because you ________. A. take a break every 15 minutes B. use screens too much before bedtime C. are the people from 13 to 64 D. have lower levels of white matter 38. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Using smartphones for long hours does harm to your eyes. B. The light from electronics at night may make you excited. C. A lot of screen time affects children’s brain growth. D. People of all ages mustn’t use electronics. 39. You may read the passage in ________. A. a magazine B. a travel diary C. a guidebook D. a novel (小说) 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The ways to use screens. B. The ways to keep healthy. C. The harm of using screens too much. D. The advantages (优点) of using screens. D If you have a brother or sister, you already know you are different from each other. You live together in the same house and with the same parents, but you have different personalities. Why is this? One possible reason is the way your parents treat you. First-born children receive all the attention from their parents. Most families have twice as many photos of a first-born than any other child. Parents usually give first-borns more responsibility(责任) and depend on them to take care of younger brothers and sisters. As a result, first-borns are often responsible, hard-wording and serious. They often want to do well at school and work. There are more first-born American presidents than second or last-born children—for example, George W. Bush, George Washington, and Lyndon Baines Johnson. When a second child arrives, parents are not so excited. The second child has to compete with the first-born for the parents’ attention and love. These children often choose different sports and hobbies to do well at school and work, but have to be creative to get their family’s attention. They are often friendly and cool. Many famous talk-show hosts were born last. 41. The writer thinks that the second children are often ________. A. outgoing and serious B. cool and friendly C. hard-working and serious D. creative and responsible 42. The underlined word “personalities” means ________ in the passage. A 友好 B. 冷静 C. 个性 D. 智商 43. ________ is usually the most serious in the family according to the passage. A. The eldest child B. The second child C. The youngest child D. The father 44. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. the second child is very similar to the first-born child B. brothers and sisters usually have the same personalities C. it’s easy for the second child to get his or her parents’ attention D. there are more first-born successful people than second or last-born people 45. The passage is mainly about ________.
