It challenges the belief(信念) that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.The Australian government researchers believe that the sunlight is good for peoples eyes. They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sightedthis rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.Both groups spend a similar amount(数量) of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However the Singaporean children spent an average (平均) of only half an hour a day outdoors90 minutes less than the Australian children.Professor Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Councils vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. Were also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted.So be outdoors. It doesnt matter if that time is spent having a picnic or having sports.31. How much time did the Australian children spend outdoors on average according to the research?A. 30 minutes. B. 60 minutes. C. 90 minutes. D. 120 minutes. 32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. If people spend less time outdoors they will certainly become short-sighted.B. There are fewer short-sighted Singaporean Children than Australian children because they have more knowledge of protecting their eyesight.C. There will be fewer risks of getting short-sighted if people spend two or three hours a day playing outside. D. When people begin to go to school they will become long-sighted.33. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. Why natural daylight has a special chemical.B. Why daylight prevents people from becoming short-sighted.C. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.D. What the special chemical which can stop eyeballs from growing out of shape is.DIf we are asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written it in an account(陈述) of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we dont have written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the important happenings in their country, but it was often destroyed(破坏) by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a great deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa because they had not learnt to write.Sometimes, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and those have been sung and acted and told for many generations(代), for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered history”. Some of it has been written history because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often helpful.34.Which of the following ideas is NOT included in the passage?A. “Remembered history” is less reliable (可靠的) than written history.B. Written records of the past play an important role in our learning of the human history.C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions.D. If there are no written records, there is no history.35.We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _.A. there was nothing worth writing down at that timeB. the people there paid no attention to the importance of keeping a recordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by fireD. the people there did not know how to write36.“Remembered history” is considered as valuable only when _.A. it is written down B. there is no written accountC. it proves to right D. people are interested in it37.The passage suggests(暗示) that we could have learnt much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had _.A. kept a record of every past event B. not burnt their written records in wars C. told the exact stories of the most important happenings D. made more songs and dances 第II卷（主观题 共40分）四、词汇运用 (本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分)(A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。1.Any progress of that blind kid in his study is beyond _ (赞扬). 2.My grandfather had _ (服役) as an officer in the army for forty years before he passed away. 3.Well have to _ (取消) the climbing competition because its raining cats and dogs.4.To get away from the polluted earth, humans are thinking about moving _ (在某处) else outside it. （B）根据句意, 写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。5.He was rudely refused by the company _ (simple) because of his ugly appearance. 6.The increase in excellent teachers can lead to the _ (raise) of standards in schools.7.The wonderful piece of music is a couple of African _ (music) work. 8.Bill Gates has been the _ (wealth) person in the world for quite a few years. 五、动词填空 用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空。(本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分)1.This work needs close teamwork.
