It might be fun to use your smartphone, but be careful. Too much screen (屏幕) 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 from the screen. Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause many diseases, for example, 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 (脑及脊髓中的白质) in their brains. White matter is a key to the development of language and reading skills (技能). 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 (电子产品) 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.
8. What does the underlined word “diseases” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. 疾病 B. 损失 C. 缺点
9. According to the passage, you can’t sleep well because you ________.
A. take a break every 15 minutes.
B. have lower levels of white matter.
C. use screens too much before bed.
10. You may read the passage in ________.
A. a science magazine B. a travel diary C. a guide book
11. What is the purpose of the writer?
A. How to keep healthy.
B. Ask people to control the time of using screens.
C. How to use a smartphone.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了过度使用智能手机等电子设备屏幕对健康的危害,包括对眼睛、大脑和睡眠的不良影响,并给出了相应的建议。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause many diseases, for example, eye strain (劳损), headaches and dry eyes.”可知,长时间看智能手机会导致许多疾病,如眼睛疲劳、头痛和眼睛干涩。由此可以推断出“diseases”指的是“疾病”。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“using screens too much will affect your sleep... 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.”可知,睡前过度使用电子设备屏幕会影响睡眠,因为电子设备的光线会让人在睡前兴奋,难以获得足够的睡眠。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。文章主要讲述了过度使用电子设备屏幕对健康的危害,属于科学健康类的内容,因此最有可能出现在科学杂志上。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了过度使用电子设备屏幕对健康的危害,并给出了相应的建议,如控制使用时间、睡前一小时关闭电子设备等。由此可以推断出作者的目的是呼吁人们控制使用电子设备屏幕的时间。选项A“如何保持健康”过于宽泛,选项C“如何使用智能手机”与文章主旨不符,选项B“呼吁人们控制使用屏幕的时间”最符合文章主旨。故选B。

My family makes the best chicken salad. Dad prepares (准备) all of the ingredients and mom makes the relish. There are a few things that make this chicken salad different from other chicken salads. First, we use jam (果酱) in the relish. You can buy any jam, like banana jam or orange jam. But we have bottles of strawberry jam that my mother made, so we use the strawberry jam. Second, we put some green olives (橄榄). Green olives give the salad a nice taste and make a big difference. Now let me tell you how my family makes the salad.
First mix up all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl. The ingredients are chicken, tomatoes, green olives, onions and apples. If you like lettuce, you can also put some. Next, make the relish. Please mix the jam, the juice and the salt. Finally, mix the relish with the salad ingredients.

It might be fun to use your smartphone, but be careful. Too much screen (屏幕) 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 from the screen. Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause many diseases, for example, 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 (脑及脊髓中的白质) in their brains. White matter is a key to the development of language and reading skills (技能). 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 (电子产品) 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.
8 What does the underlined word “diseases” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. 疾病 B. 损失 C. 缺点
9. According to the passage, you can’t sleep well because you ________.
A. take a break every 15 minutes.
B. have lower levels of white matter.
C. use screens too much before bed.
10. You may read the passage in ________.
A. a science magazine B. a travel diary C. a guide book
11. What is the purpose of the writer?
A. How to keep healthy.
B. Ask people to control the time of using screens.
C. How to use a smartphone.
