第二部分 阅读理解(满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
21.(6分) 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 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 Ophthalmologists,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 real 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.
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.
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 1ight may connect with tired eyes.
D.Rubbing eyes makes people strained.
4、According to the text,wearing blue light-blocking glasses may be_______.
A.tiring B.harmful C.useless D.beneficial

23.(8分)Bullying (欺凌) among schoolchildren is nothing new. Calling someone names, stealing their possessions, threatening and even beating them up are all well-established bullying techniques. Yet for young people today there is a relatively new form of bullying which can occur even when the bullies are nowhere near their victims— and it can have equal, if not more damaging effects.
Online-bullying is one of the downsides of new technology and involves using devices like mobile phones and computers. Online-bullies can strike at any time, no matter where they, or their victims are. About 22 percent of young people in the UK claim to have suffered from online-bullying.
Not only are online-bullies harder to avoid, they are also harder to catch. It is all too easy to send an anonymous (匿名的) threat by text on a pay-as-you-go phone with an unknown number. It takes no time at all to set up a false Facebook, Twitter, blog or social network account and to post an insulting message. And, if you know how to hide your IP address, you can upload an offensive video to a website like You Tube and your victim wouldn’t know who to blame.
One of the most upsetting things about online-bullying is that it can involve more people than traditional forms of bullying. A bully can insult you or tell lies about you and share that information with the entire school at the touch of a button-and for some teenagers that is all too hard to bear. The UK Charity Beatbullying suggests that up to 44% of suicides among ten-to-fourteen-year-olds may be bullying-related.
The good news is that the world is starting to wise up to online-bullying. Schools and websites like http://www.chlidnet-int.org/ offer lots of advice and victim support and social network sites now advise users to think carefully about their privacy settings so that personal information is only shared with friends.
1、Which of the following is NOT the way of bullying according to Paragraph 1?
A.Shouting abuse at somebody. B.Stealing somebody’s things.
C.Frightening somebody. D.Making a call to somebody.
2、The underlined word “downsides” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A.Benefits B.effects
C.disadvantages D.points
3、According to the writer, it is difficult to ________.
A.download a false video B.post a unfriendly message
C.know who sends online-bullies D.set up a true Facebook account
4、Why do online-bullying involve more people than traditional forms of bullying?
A.More people like to tell lies.
B.Online-bullying is easy to spread.
C.More people want to become famous.
D.More people like to make fun of others.
5、What could be the best title of the passage?
A.Bullying is harmful.
B.Bullying goes high-tech.
C.Online-bullying is hard to catch.
D.People can get rid of online-bullying.
24.(8分)Following the crowd may not always be in a person’s best interest.But new research suggests that teens who go along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.
Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health.That’s true for both teens and adults.The finding inspired Joseph Allen,a psychologist at the University of Virginia,and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health.
So they followed 171 teens,starting when the kids were just 13.They interviewed each one every year for five years,and also spoke to these teens’closest friends,who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships.The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25,26 and 27.This time,the questions surveyed each person’s overall health.When the researchers analyzed the data they found a strong connection between a teen’s behavior and adult health.Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults.Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to a close friends also influenced later health.Those who held back were more likely to be sick as adults.The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health.Weight,family income and drug use were all examined.So were mental health issues,such as anxiety and depression.And in these people,such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did.
Going along with the crowd may have benefits,says Allen,but there are also drawbacks.Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work.And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior,such as smoking,drinking or using drugs.Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge,Allen acknowledges.“Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy.”And,he adds,“Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.”
1、Where can you probably read this passage?
A.Science fiction
B.Health column
C.Fashion magazine
D.Entertainment newspaper
2、We can learn from Allen’s study that _______________.
A.many other factors have a greater influence on adult health than teen friendships
B.mental health issues have nothing to do with adult health
C.the same 171 teens were interviewed each year from 13 to 27
D.the teens who couldn’t express themselves grew up to be unhealthier
3、According to what Allen said,we can know that _______________.
A.in order to do better at school,teens should not follow the crowd
B.though it’s challenging for teens to deal with peer pressure,they should not give up
C.teens will engage in smoking,drinking or using drugs when facing peer pressure
D.parents should understand their teens and stop them going with friends
4、What can be inferred from the passage?
A.There is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd.
B.Close friendships are the most important for people’s health.
C.Teen friendships may turn out healthier adults.
D.Adult health is only influenced by teen friendships.
25.(10分)Career criminals begin their antisocial behavior during their toddler (学步的儿童) years and may go on with a life of crime if their behavior isn’t challenged, scientists have discovered. While most children grow out of their bad behavior by adulthood, a study found those who had “callous unemotional (冷漠无情的) characteristics” could grow up to have problems with the law later in life. Behavior characteristics such as a lack of sympathy and lying in childhood could have an impact years on.
Luke Hyde, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, said, “These are signs for parents and doctors to watch out for, as they may signal more than just the terrible twos.” He said, “Parents both take care of their child and provide their child’s genes so it’s been difficult to know if we’re seeing that parenting causes callous unemotional behaviors, or if it is just a sign of the genes being passed to the child.”
The research also discovered that strict parenting is linked to the development of antisocial behavior. Scientists looked at 561 families in an adoption study that examined biological mothers’ antisocial behavior. The scientists found children of antisocial mothers were also
