They looked at the effects of light reflection(反射) on newly fallen snow on a ski trail (a rough path) in Ishikawa District, northern Japan. They pared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japans Okinawa District. They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter pared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas. The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological Agency. According to the agency, the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, pared to 80 percent in new snowy areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. Thats why we wear sunscreen on our skin before we get out in the suit. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye, which is harmful. Your eyes will bee red and feel a strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.25. You would most likely find the article in _.A. a medical magazine B. a travel journalC. a doctors diary D. a physics textbook26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Eye exposure to small amounts of UV rays may cause total blindness.B. Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesnt harm them at all.C. Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.D. The study was conducted only by researchers from Japan.27. If a place is 1500 meters higher, the amount of light increases _.A. 4 percent B. 12 percent C. 20 percent D. 50 percent28. What will the passage most probably talk about next?A. Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.B. Measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.C. Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.D. Go to hospital to have your eyes examined. . CIve loved my mothers desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer, none came.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally peace. It seemed that nothing happened. I couldnt be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the presence of her desk told me, as shed never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always choose the act that speaks louder than words.29. The word “gulf” in paragraph 4 means _.A. deep understanding between the old and the young.B. different ideas between the mother and the daughter.C. free talks between mother and daughter.D. part of the sea going far in land.30. What did Mother do with her daughters letter asking for forgiveness?A. She had never received the letter.B. For years, she often talked about the letter.C. She didnt forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D. She read the letter again and again till she died.31. The passage shows that _.A. mother cared much about her daughter in wordsB. mother wrote to her daughter in careful wordsC. mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughterD. mother was too serious about everything her daughter had doneDDo you feel lucky? You probably dont. You may think youve got where you are today through willpower and hard work. We tend to overlook lucks role, and this seems to get worse the richer we get; surveys show that the wealthiest are least likely to owe their fortunes to good fortune. Many such people oppose taxand government spending: why should others get a handout(救济品)if they dont need one? More often than not, they vote against the very policies that helped them get lucky to begin with. In a recent Atlantic essay, Robert Frank, an economist who has studied attitudes to chance, quoted(引用)EB White: “Luck is not something you can mention in the presence of self-made men.”However,if we see this just as a problem of the super-rich people, we may let the rest of us off too easily. Anyone living in a highly developed economy in xx is already the one who benefits from luckfor example, not living in the modern-day Central African Republic, where few people can live a long life. In fact, we are lucky to have been born human. Our blindness to such truths isnt only because were self-absorbed but also we attach more significance to things that are easier to call to mind. Its not hard to recall countless times when you put in the effort to succeed: struggling through university finals, preparing for job interviews, tolerating a long-distance travel to work. On the other hand, its rather difficult to realize youre privileged (特权，优待)like not being born in a war zone, or before antibiotics(抗生素), and so on.32. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean?A. Successful people tend to overlook the role of luck.B. Successful people owe their achievements to luck.C. Self-made men dont like to be talked about.D. Self-made men are more likely to show off their fortune.33.We can learn from the passage that_.A. few people in Africa are lucky B. each of us is actually privilegedC. people value the importance of luck D. people succeed because of luck34. According to the author，you are fortunate if you are not_.A. struggling through university finals B. preparing for interviewsC. living in a war zone D.tolerating a long distance travel 35. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A.Luck Is A Blessing B. Who Is LuckyC. How To Be Lucky D. We Are Lucky第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。Living with other people can be difficult, especially when each person has their ownideas about how they want to live. _36_.Taking a few simple steps will help you share your living space harmoniously.Discuss your expectations ahead of time._37_.

Take your roommates feelings into consideration.
