On April 8, as millins f peple tried t watch a slar eclipse (日食) in Nrth America, eye dctrs acrss the United States wuld be ready t ffer medical help.
That’s because, while a slar eclipse is an exciting event, it can als be dangerus. Lking at any part f the expsed sun withut the right kind f prtectin can injure the eye’s light-sensitive retina (视网膜).
In 2017, during the slar eclipse seen acrss the United States, that happened t many peple despite the media cverage abut the danger f lking at the sun when it is anything less than fully and cmpletely cvered by the mn.
Given that mre than 150 millin peple directly viewed either a partial eclipse r a ttal eclipse, hwever, the number f thse wh suffered eye prblems may seem relatively small.
“We’ve gt less than 100 cases acrss Canada and the US,” says Ralph Chu, an eclipse eye safety expert with the University f Waterl in Canada. “But n ne knws fr sure hw many peple damaged their eyes in 2017,” he says, “because nt every case gets written up fr a medical jurnal, and peple may nt seek help fr less serius eyesight trubles.”
“A lt f eyesight prblems, if they actually happened, were prbably relatively minr and, they disappeared n their wn within weeks r mnths,” says Chu. “Abut half f thse wh experience significant eye prblems n the day after an eclipse will recver almst cmpletely.”
He ntes that there are ways t enjy the eclipse withut lking up at all; everyday husehld bjects allw yu t create pinhle prjectrs (针孔投射) that let yu watch an image f the sun. “If yu d chse t lk up at the sun when it is partially eclipsed,” says Chu, “make sure that yu have the prper eclipse glasses.”
28. Hw can the slar eclipse be a dangerus event?
A. It leaves everything in the dark.B. It culd cause damage t ur eyes.
C. It makes it hard t get medical help.D. It frces us t g t a narrw space.
29. What was reprted by the media in 2017?
A. The danger f seeing a slar eclipse.B. The lcatin f a tp-class hspital.
C. The imprtance f explring space.D. The number f turist attractins.
30. What can we learn frm paragraph 5?
A. There is n need t wrry abut the slar eclipse.
B. Sme peple frgt t turn t the dctr fr help.
C. It’s hard t track peple wh suffered eye prblems.
D. Over 150 millin peple in the US are nearsighted.
31. What des Chu expect us t d abut watching a slar eclipse?
A. D it with ur family.B. Take pictures f the sun.
C. Admire the scene n TV.D. Prtect ur eyes prperly.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了在未采取安全防护措施的情况下观赏日食可能会损伤视网膜。
【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“That’s because, while a slar eclipse is an exciting event, it can als be dangerus. Lking at any part f the expsed sun withut the right kind f prtectin can injure the eye’s light-sensitive retina (视网膜).(这是因为，虽然日食是一个令人兴奋的事件，但它也可能是危险的。在没有适当保护的情况下直视暴露在阳光下的任何部分都会伤害眼睛的感光视网膜)”可知，在未采取安全防护措施的情况下观赏日食可能会损伤视网膜，故选B。
【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 2017, during the slar eclipse seen acrss the United States, that happened t many peple despite the media cverage abut the danger f lking at the sun when it is anything less than fully and cmpletely cvered by the mn.(2017年，在美国各地看到的日食期间，尽管媒体报道了当太阳没有完全被月亮覆盖时观看太阳的危险，但许多人还是发生了这种情况)”可知，2017年，媒体报道了观赏日食所带来的危害，故选A。
【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段中“‘But n ne knws fr sure hw many peple damaged their eyes in 2017,’ he says, ‘because nt every case gets written up fr a medical jurnal, and peple may nt seek help fr less serius eyesight trubles.’(‘但没有人确切知道2017年有多少人的眼睛受损，’他说，‘因为不是每个病例都会被医学杂志报道，而且人们可能不会寻求不太严重的视力问题的帮助。’)”可知，要想确切知晓多少人因观赏日食而影响视力健康并非易事，故选C。
【31题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“‘If yu d chse t lk up at the sun when it is partially eclipsed,’ says Chu, ‘make sure that yu have the prper eclipse glasses.’(‘如果你选择在日偏食时抬头看太阳，’Chu说，‘确保你有合适的日食眼镜。’)”可知，Chu希望大家在观赏日食时保护好眼睛，故选D。

Wild African elephants may break sleep recrds fr mammals (哺乳动物). New data shw that they seem t survive n abut tw hurs f shut-eye a night. Much f that sleeping tk place while they were standing up. The animals lie dwn t sleep nly nce every three t fur nights.
Trying t figure ut hw much wild elephants sleep just by watching them 24 hurs a day is tricky, especially in the dark. Much f what scientists had knwn abut sleeping elephants came frm animals living in zs, ntes Paul Manger, wh is a brain researcher at the University f the Witwatersrand in Suth Africa. In zs, elephants have been recrded sleeping frm abut three hurs t nearly seven during a 24-hur perid. Using electrnic mnitrs n African elephants in the wild, hwever, has turned up mre extreme behavir.
Manger’s team implanted (植入) activity mnitrs in the trunks (象鼻) f tw elephants. Bth were female leaders f their herds in the Chbe Natinal Park. Trunks, like human hands, are imprtant fr explring the wrld. Elephants hardly keep them still—unless sleeping. The researchers thught that a trunk mnitr that didn’t mve fr at least five minutes likely meant its hst was asleep.
The mnitrs tracked the animals ver abut a mnth. During that time, the elephants averaged just tw hurs f sleep a day. What’s mre, the elephants were able t skip a night’s sleep withut needing extra rest the next day. Thse trunk implants shwed there were times when the elephants went up t 46 hurs withut any sleep.
There has been sme thught that animals need sleep t stre memries prperly. But that can’t explain animals, like the elephants, which skip sleep fr a night withut needing catch-up rest later. “Elephants are usually nt cnsidered t be frgetful animals,” Manger bserves. In fact, he ntes, studies have fund that they can have lng memries.
32. Hw did the African elephants typically sleep accrding t the new study?
A. They std up.B. They walked arund.
C. They gruped.D. They kept eyes pen.
33. Why did Manger’s team implant the trunk mnitrs?
A. T test a new tracker.B. T help elephants fall asleep.
C. T train wild animals.D. T study elephants’ sleep.
34. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Peple always think elephants are frgetful animals.
B. A gd night’s sleep benefits all the wildlife’s brains.
C. Little sleep desn’t affect the memry f elephants.
D. Scientists can’t understand why sleep makes sense.
35. What is the text mainly abut?
A. Tips n watching wildlife.B. Wild elephants’ sleep habit.
C. Effrts t prtect wild elephants.D. Natinal nature reserves in Africa.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于野生非洲象睡眠模式的新发现，即它们每晚似乎只睡大约两个小时，并且大部分时间是站立着睡觉，每隔三到四晚才会躺下一次。研究挑战了以往基于动物园大象的研究结论，展示了野生动物行为学研究中的新见解，同时也对动物需要睡眠来储存记忆的传统观点提出了疑问。
【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“New data shw that they seem t survive n abut tw hurs f shut-eye a night. Much f that sleeping tk place while they were standing up. The animals lie dwn t sleep nly nce every three t fur nights. (新的数据显示，它们似乎每晚只睡两个小时就能存活下来。大部分睡眠都是在他们站着的时候进行的。这些动物每三到四个晚上才躺下睡觉一次。)”可知，这项新研究显示，非洲象通常站着睡觉。故选A。
【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Trying t figure ut hw much wild elephants sleep just by watching them 24hursa day is tricky, especially in the dark (仅仅通过观察野生大象一天24小时来计算它们的睡眠时间是很棘手的，尤其是在黑暗中。)”、第三段“Manger’s team implanted (植入) activity mnitrs in the trunks (象鼻) f tw elephants. (Manger的团队在两头大象的鼻子中植入了活动监测器。)”及第四段“The mnitrs tracked the animals ver abut a mnth. During that time, the elephants averaged just tw hurs f sleep a day. What’s mre, the elephants were able t skip a night’s sleep withut needing extra rest the next day. Thse trunk implants shwed there were times when the elephants went up t 46 hurs withut any sleep. (监测器对这些动物进行了大约一个月的跟踪。在此期间，大象平均每天只睡两个小时。更重要的是，大象可以跳过一个晚上的睡眠，第二天不需要额外的休息。这些鼻子植入物显示，有时大象可以长达46个小时不睡觉。)”可知，Manger 的团队在这两头母象的鼻子里植入监视器是为了研究大象的睡眠情况。故选D。
【34题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“There has been sme thught that animals need sleep t stre memries prperly. But that can’t explain animals, like the elephants, which skip sleep fr a night withut needing catch-up rest later. “Elephants are usually nt cnsidered t be frgetful animals,” Manger bserves. In fact, he ntes, studies have fund that they can have lng memries. (有一些人认为动物需要睡眠来正确地储存记忆。但这并不能解释像大象这样的动物，它们一晚上不睡觉，以后不需要补觉。“大象通常不被认为是健忘的动物，”曼格说。事实上，他指出，研究发现们可以它有很长的记忆。)”可知，睡眠不足不会影响大象的记忆。故选C。
【35题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Wild African elephants may break sleep recrds fr mammals (哺乳动物). New data shw that they seem t survive n abut tw hurs f shut-eye a night. Much f that sleeping tk place while they were standing up. The animals lie dwn t sleep nly nce every three t fur nights. (野生非洲象可能打破哺乳动物的睡眠记录。新的数据显示，它们似乎每晚只睡两个小时就能存活下来。大部分睡眠都是在他们站着的时候进行的。这些动物每三到四个晚上才躺下睡觉一次。)”可知，文章主要介绍了关于野生非洲象睡眠模式的新发现，即它们每晚似乎只睡大约两个小时，并且大部分时间是站立着睡觉，每隔三到四晚才会躺下一次。选项B“Wild elephants’ sleep habit. (野象的睡眠习惯)”符合题意。故选B。
