percent.Children who are shortsighted spend an average of 3.7 fewer hours a week outside compared with those who have normal vision, a study has found.Shortsightedness runs in families and has also been linked to a host of factors.They include the amount of time spent focusing on near objects and levels of physical activity.But simply spending time out of the house may be enough to protect the eyesight.Being outdoors can reduce the amount of time that children spend in reading or playing computer games, researchers said.Between 15 and 20 percent of British people are shortsighted, but the problem is much more serious in parts of East Asia.There, as much as 80 percent of the population are shortsighted.One study compared children living in different countries.It found that those in Australia had better vision on average than people of the same age in China and Singapore.The Australian group read and achieved as much as those in other countries, but they were found to spend more time outdoors.Dr.Sherwin, one of the researchers who did the study, said the benefit from being outdoors could be linked to increased UV radiation(紫外线辐射)Shortsightedness is caused by having longer eyes and some studies have shown that some chemicals affected by UV rays may control the length of the eye.A lack of sunlight could make such chemicals grow too much, he explained.He said, “It could be caused by not enough UV radiation, and it could also be caused by spending less time looking into the distance or not enough physical activity.”【语篇解读】增加户外活动的时间可降低儿童患近视的概率。5What is the main idea of the passage?AChildrens shortsightedness can be cured.BThere are several causes of childrens shortsightedness.CSpending more time outdoors can lead to better eyesight.DChildren who spend more time outdoors are much healthier.【解析】主旨大意题。本文主要是关于一项研究的结果，这项研究表明多花些时间待在户外可以降低儿童患近视的概率，故选C。【答案】C6What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to?ANear objects.BLevels of physical activity.CFamilies which have shortsightedness.DSome factors linked to shortsightedness.【解析】推理判断题。根据画线词前面的“a host of factors”和后面的“.the amount of time spent focusing on near objects and levels of physical activity.”可知，画线词They是指那些能导致近视的因素。【答案】D7.According to Paragraph 3, in the study children in Australia_.Aachieved lessBhad poorer eyesightCstayed outdoors moreDspent less time reading【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段的“The Australian group read and achieved as much as those in other countries, but they were found to spend more time outdoors.”可知应选C。【答案】C8Which of the following is NOT mentioned by Dr.Sherwin as a cause of shortsightedness?AReceiving too little UV radiation.BNot taking part in enough physical activities.CSpending little time looking into the distance.DNot eating enough food that is good for our eyesight.【解析】细节理解题。根据末段的“He said, It could be caused by not enough UV radiation, and it could also be caused by spending less time looking into the distance or not enough physical activity.”可知，这里提到了紫外线照射、远望以及体育运动，并没有提到食物方面，故选D。【答案】D.阅读填句根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。【导学号：91390034】What Causes a Flood?Floods are one of the most common disasters in the United States.Flood effects can be local, impacting a neighbourhood or community, or very large, affecting several states._1_ Some floods develop slowly, sometimes over a period of days.But flash floods can develop quickly, sometimes in just a few minutes and without any visible(看得见的) signs of rain.Flash floods often have a dangerous wall of roaring water and can take away most things in its path.Floods happen when a watercourse(水道)overflows._2_Heavy rainWhen the ground already contains a lot of water, the falling rain could not seep through it.The water then starts flowing toward a watercourse.When it rains a lot in a region, all water flows toward the river, but this river can not contain it._3_ThawWhen spring arrives，snow and ice start to melt and the water flows toward the river._4_ The river overflows and a flood happens.Ice jamIn spring, rivers thaw out and pieces of ice drift on the river._5_As a result, these pieces of ice form a kind of dam(水坝)When water cannot flow through this dam, it tries to find another course to reach the river and sometimes, this new course is a field, a road or a house basement.AWe can think of some ways to prevent the flood from happening.BHowever, all floods are not alike.CTherefore, the river overflows.DSometimes these ice pieces get jammed against a bridge or rocks.EThey could be caused by heavy rain, thaws(解冻) or ice jams(冰塞)FOne of the biggest problems people faced was lack of fresh water.GIf the temperature rises too rapidly, a lot of water is produced in a short time.【答案】15BECGD
