D

Many people believe the glare from snow causes snow blindness.Yet,with dark glasses or not,they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes,and even snow blindness when exposed to several hours

of snow light.

The United States army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow blindness in troops in a snow-covered country.Rather,a man’s eyes often find nothing to focus on in a broad space of snow-covered land.So his gaze continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at.Finding something,hour after hour,the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become tired and the eye muscles ache.Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid(液体)which covers the eyeball.The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until it makes eyes difficult to see clearly,and the result is total,even though for a short time,snow blindness.

Experiments led the army to a simple method of overcoming this problem.Scouts(侦察员)ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes,creating a dotted line as they cross completely

snow-covered landscape.Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight,dark-colored objects ahead on which they can focus too.The men following can then see something.Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to look at,stop searching the snow-blanketed landscape.By focusing their attention on one object at a time,the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind or lost.In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is overcome.

34.What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A.The whiteness from snow.

B.Snow light and snow blindness

C.The need for dark glasses

D.Headaches and watering eyes

35.Snow-blindness can be avoided___________.

A.by covering the eyeballs withe more and more tears

B.by walking ahead and keep looking around

C.by making up for the discomfort of one’s eyes

D.by providing the eyes with something to focus on

36.What is the best title for this passage?

A.Snow-blindness:what it is and whom it influence

B.Snow-blindness:what it is and how nature helps

C.Snow-blindness:how it forms and how to solve it

D.Snow-blindness:how it forms and whom it hurts

37.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A.Solving the problem of snow-blindness is important in army

B.Snow-blindness was once a big problem but could be cured easily

C.The glare from snow is considered as the main cause of snow-blindness

D.Armies around the world pay attention to the problems of snow-blindness

六、任务型阅读

Some people believe that greed(贪婪)and selfishness has become the main theme of modern society and we should return to the old traditions of family and community in order to have a better life.

In this fast-paced(快节奏的)world,many values are experiencing great changes.While people traditionally caring,sharing and generosity the most important things in life and work,modern people seem to be more

self-centered.

Modern people act selfishly to survive the highly competitive world.To survive,you have to fight with whatever ways you can think of.Obviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas.In a company,workers do everything they can to get better pay and higher position,even if it means their workmates will lose a lot because of this.They are not born cold-blooded;it is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way because of outside influences.

To be honest,it is hard to say that modern society is build on greed and selfishness,both of which are not newly invented vocabulary.In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things that people in the past faced less pressure compared with the modern environment.

Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them?There is no fixed answer either.Some people great pleasure helping and giving to others while others fell happy doing the opposite.But I personally think that people should not be too selfish.Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a win-win relationship.

Nowadays,people seem to think more about themselves.They act

selfishly even if they may cause heavy____3____to their workmates. _____4___for the changes Heated competition and great pressure on modern people may be responsible
