Exercise 2 高考英语阅读理解练习

We humans love to stare into our smart devices.We look steadily 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 light 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

Exercise 3 新题型写作练习

读后续写  阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on neighbouring farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious disagreement in forty years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labour and goods as needed without a hitch. Then the long cooperation fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and then grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.

One morning, there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox. "I'm looking for a few days' work," he said. "Perhaps you have a few jobs here and there. Could I help you?" "Yes," said John. "I do have a job for you. Look across the small Creek at that farm. That's my neighbor. In fact, it's my younger brother. Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer（推土机）there and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to annoy me but I'll do better. See that pile of wood by the barn（谷仓）?I want you to build a fence—an 8-foot-high fence-so I won't need to see his place anymore."

The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and hole-digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you." The older brother had to go to the town for supplies, so he helped the carpenter get everything ready and then he left.

The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing and nailing. At sunset when John returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. John's eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped.

Paragraph 1:

There was no fence at all. It was a bridge!

Paragraph 2:

They turned to see the carpenter lift the toolbox onto his shoulder.

Paragraph 1:

There was no fence at all. It was a bridge! A bridge stretched from one side of the creek to the other! John was about to complain about everything, when he found the neighbor, his young brother, was coming across the bridge, his hands outstretched. "You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I have said and done," said John's brother. The two brothers met in the middle, taking each other's hand and hugging each other.

Paragraph 2:

They turned to see the carpenter lift the toolbox onto his shoulder. "No, wait! Stay a few more days. We have more jobs for you," said the older brother. "I'd love to stay on." the carpenter said. "but I have many more bridges to build." Observing the carpenter leaving, the two brothers waved grateful good-bye to him. What a thought-provoking story! Every day we have the choice of building a fence or a bridge. One leads to separation and anger while the other leads to openness and friendship.
