Just a few
25、hours in front of a computer screen can make a persons eyes feel tired and painful. A number of eye doctors have studied this growing problem and have found ways to deal with it. Their advice will help keep computer users more comfortable. Here are some recommendations they have made.The light in a
26、room shouldnt be brighter than the computer screen itself. In many classrooms, however, the lights are far brighter than they should be. Students can block some of this light by wearing baseball caps if theyre allowed at school.A special computer screen should be used to cut down on bright light bec
27、ause it is especially tiring to the eyes. Another problem to avoid is the wrong kind of contrast (对比) on the screen. It is best to have dark letters on a light background. This causes less eye strain than light letters on a dark background.Students should also be seated so that they are looking down
28、 at the computer screen rather than straight ahead, which is a far more tiring angle (角度). The top of the screen should be a little lower than the top of the head. Any document (文档) which is being typed in should be placed so that it is in the same line of sight as the screen.The length of time stud
29、ents spent in front of a computer screen leads greatly to eye strain. Students should take frequent breaks by looking away from the screen every fifteen or twenty minutes. During that time, they should either close their eyes or focus on an object at a distance. Long-term computer use can dry out th
30、e eyes, so students should remember to blink (眨眼睛) frequently while in front of the screen. Blinking helps keep the eyes wet with natural tears and provides much-needed moments of rest.49According to the passage, what makes a person suffer from eye strain?AStaying up too late.BUsing computers too mu
31、ch.CWatching too much TV.DReading books for a long time.50What can we know from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?AStudents can cut down some of this light by wearing glasses.BThe light in a room should be brighter than the computer screen.CStudents can use a special computer screen to increase bright lig
32、ht.DStudents can control the contrast on the screen to reduce eye strain.51What is the correct posture (姿势) for students when using the computer?AStanding straight and looking down at the computer screen.BSitting much lower than the screen in front of the computer.CSitting a little higher than the s
33、creen in front of the computer.DKeeping the top of the head at the same height as the screen.52Whats the main idea of the passage?AHow to relax our eyes when using computers.BHow to deal with eye strain when using computers.CHow to avoid bright light when using computers.DHow to keep a correct postu

The development of the sugar painting art is a long process (过程), and every change in the form of sugar painting reflects (反映) the changes in the social life, and it
35、is also a reflection of historical and cultural customs.Since the Warring States Period (战国时代), the ancient people loved sweets and developed methods of producing sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, there was huge development in the technology of sugar making. And sugar, the precious (珍贵的) product once only
36、 served to the emperors and princes, also went into peoples homes. With the cultural and economic (经济的) development of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and suga
37、r painting appeared.Sugar painting is different from normal painting. It needs boiling syrup (熬糖浆) and painting. It seems simple, but it is extremely challenging to make. Sugar painters use syrup as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they hav
38、e to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work in a very short time. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is done.However, its a pity that this folk art is dying recently. The sugar p
39、ainting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. Whats worse, few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except those aging sugar painters.For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the a
40、rt down into peoples daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual support of the ancient people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China.Therefore, the art should be remembered, missed and passed on.53When did the precious sugar
41、 go into peoples homes?AIn the Warring States Period.BIn the Tang Dynasty.CIn the Yuan Dynasty.DIn the Ming Dynasty.54How did sugar painting appear?ASome people put Chinese paintings into precious sugar.BSome people poured some syrup onto the Chinese paintings.CSome people added pictures with good l
42、uck into the bowl of sugar.DSome people used syrup to draw some Chinese paintings on the paper.55Whats the main idea of Paragraph ?AThe difficulty of making sugar paintings.BThe history of making sugar paintings.CThe method of making sugar paintings.DThe development of making sugar paintings.56What
43、does the underlined sentence in Paragraph probably mean?AIt means that sugar painting is dying and it is worrying recently.BIt means that sugar painting is popular in peoples daily lives.CIt means that sugar painting should be remembered and passed on.DIt means that sugar painting is a kind of art a

45、ip, I became the captain, sir,” replied Silver.“I am willing to come to an agreement. Can I come in?” Silver asked. But Captain Smollett refused.“Its a cold morning to sit outside on the sand,” said Silver.“An honest man can sit on his ship. Its your choice. You are either my ships cook and an hones
46、t sailor or Captain Silver, a mutineer (反叛者) and a pirate (海盗). Well, what do you have to say?”“We are going to find the treasure,” said Silver. “So give us the map. Here are our conditions: you can either join us when we find the treasure and well leave you in a safe place on the journey home.
