Just look around youits East Asia. Nine in ten s
18、chool leavers in major East Asian cities are nearsighted, according to the BBC. Experts say books and video games are not to blame. East Asian students, they say, arent getting enough sunlight. People become nearsighted because their eyeballs grow out of shape and light entering their eyes cannot fo
19、cus correctly. The body can produce a chemical called dopamine to stop eyeballs from changing shape. And guess what scientists have just discovered? Sunlight can help our bodies produce more dopamine, reported AFP.According to the study, primary school students in Singapore spend only 30 minutes out
20、doors every day; in Australia, by contrast, kids spend about three hours a day outside. As a result, fewer children in Australia are nearsightedonly 10 percent, compared with 90 percent in Singapore.“Children in East Asia basically go to school. go home and stay inside. They study and they watch tel
21、evision,” Ian Morgan of the Australian National University told AFP. But being a bookworm or a couch potato does not directly harm the eyes, added Morgan. “As long as they get outside, it doesnt seem to matter how much study they do,” he explained. “There are some kids who study hard and get outside
22、 and play hard and they are generally fine. The ones who are at major risk are the ones who study hard and dont get outside. As a result of massive educational pressures and the construction of a childs day, the amount of time they spend outside in bright light is minimized.” Experts suggest childre
23、n should stay outside for two to three hours every day. This can include time spent in the playground and walking to and from school. 41. Which of the following word has the similar meaning as the underlined phrase “nine in ten”?A. many B. much C. more D. most 42. What is the main reason for the lar
24、ge number of nearsighted students in East Asia, according to scientists? A. Too much reading or gaming. B. Lack of sunlight. C. Genetic reasons. D. Lack of exercise. 43.

25、ight entering the eyes from focusing correctly. C. Spending time in the sun can make the loss of dopamine in the body. D. The more dopamine a person has in their body, the better eyesight he or she has. 44. According to Morgan, what kind of people are most likely to suffer from nearsightedness? A. T
26、hose who like watching TV. B. Those who take exercise regularly. C. Those who stay indoors studying all day. D. Those who study hard and play hard outdoors.45.

27、D. Without playing any computer games.BThousands of years ago, people didnt know that the Earth moved. They thought the sun really did move across the sky. The Greek god Helios was said to drive the sun around the sky with his chariot. But now, these ideas have all changed. Nowadays, it is the sun t
28、hat drives our “chariot” around the sky. So what does all this mean? Well, quite simply, there is now a plane (or “chariot”) that is powered by the sun. It has special parts in its wings. These parts absorb power from the sun. They absorb so much power that they can carry on flying at night. In the
29、Greek myths, Helios had to take a break at night. It seems were finally even more efficient than the gods themselves. This plane is called Solar Impulse. It will fly across the US in May. This is very important for the future of the world. So why is solar energy so good for us? Well, other kinds of
30、energy cause a few problems. If you live in China, youve probably noticed the pollution. This is caused by burning coal or gas to make energy. The heat and chemicals from this make things work. But if we use the heat from the sun, we dont have to burn anything, and theres no pollution. Solar energy
31、is not all there yet. It needs to be improved. But the best thing about it is that, unlike coal and gas, it doesnt run out. Solar Impulse could keep flying forever. Well, actually, the sun will run out too, one day, but not for another 5 billion years. Thats a pretty long flight.46. What does “chari
32、ot” really refer to in the last sentence of Paragraph 1? A. The Earth. B. The Greek god. C. Solar Impulse.D. Birds.47. Which of the following is TRUE of Solar Impulse? A. It can only fly at night. B. It has already flown across the US. C. It is powered by the sun.D. It needs gas to work.48. In the p
33、assage, what is mentioned as the cause of pollution in China? A. Overpopulation.B. Burning coal or gas. C. Using solar energy. D. Heavy traffic.49. What does the writer mean by “Thats a pretty long flight”? A. It takes a lot of time to get Solar Impulse going. B. Solar Impulse moves very slowly. C.
34、Solar Impulse will be in use for a long time. D. Solar Impulse has a long way to go to take the place of the sun.50. The passage is most probably taken from_. A. a Greek mythB. a science fiction C. a story-bookD. a science magazineCOnce upon a time, all feelings went to an island for a vacation, and
35、 each was having a good time. Suddenly a warning of a strong storm was announced, so all rushed to their boats. Yet, Love did not wish to run away quickly. There was so much to do.

There is no place here for you.”Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was also passing by in a beautiful boat.
37、But Vanity said with a cold voice, “No, I cant take you with me. My boat will get dirty with your wet feet.” Sadness passed by after some time. Again, Love asked for help. But it was useless. “No, I cant take you with me. I am so sad. I want to be alone.” When Happiness passed by a few minutes later
38、, Love again called for help. But Happiness was so happy that he didnt hear Love calling to him. Love was becoming restless and hopeless. Just then somebody called out, “Come, Love! I will take you with me.” Love did not know who was so kind, but jumped into the boat happily. After getting off the b
39、oat, Love met Knowledge. Love asked, “Knowledge, do you know who was so kind to give me a lift when no one else wished to help?” Knowledge smiled, “Oh, that was Time.”“Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?” Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because only Time is capable of unde
