第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分30分)
第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Like you and your pet dog，plants are living things: they eat, drink, and grow. Unlike you and your dog，they can't run away, use fists or teeth, or hide under the covers when they' re threatened. But they can fight back.
Why would a plant need to fight back? To avoid being eaten, of course! Plants have several ways of protecting themselves. A plant can grow in a hidden or hard-to-get-to place. Think of plants you' ve seen growing on steep, rocky cliffs(悬崖). Or, a plant could make only some parts of itself attractive to hungry insects and animals. For instance, if a plant produced really tasty leaves, herbivores ( creatures that eat only plants) might eat the leaves instead of the seeds, which the plant needs for making more plants. Some plants have sharp or slippery parts that discourage insects and other animals from getting too close, like the thorns(刺) on a rosebush.
But the most interesting way that plants fight back is by using chemicals. Plants take minerals from the soil and combine them into chemicals that do a lot of work. For example, plants produce chlorophyll(叶绿素)，which helps convert sunshine and water into the sugars that plants eat.
They also produce chemicals to help protect themselves. One kind of tobacco plants releases a chemical into the air whenever small bugs begin to eat it. The chemical signals large bugs, saying “Dinner 's ready!" The big bugs come to eat the little ones and save the plant. Most plants use chemicals in a more direct way against their enemies. In other words, plants make poison.
21. What does the underlined word "convert” mean?
A. Separate
B. Change
C. expose
D. Produce
22. What do we know from the passage?
A. Some plants produce tasty leaves to protect their seeds.
B. Plants produce chemicals to meet the needs of big bugs.
C. Some plants hide under the covers when faced with threat .
D. A plant grows in a hard-to-get-to place to draw people 's attention.
23. What may be talked about following the last paragraph?
A. How to protect plants.
B. Why plants make poison.
C. Different kinds of plants in the world.
D. Different effects that different plant poisons cause on plant eaters.
B
Even though a lot of art galleries and museums are free in the UK, many people seldom visit them for fear that they won’t understand the art on display. They are afraid that other visitors may be more knowledgeable and that everyone else there understands what the artworks mean. But this simply isn’t true. Everyone is equal in front of an artwork and there are no wrong answers.
Modern art can be particularly difficult to understand and appreciate but enjoying an artwork is a natural gift. Do you like it or not? Do you want to find out more or not? It really is that simple.
A very well-respected art historian, Ernst Gombrich believed that a viewer completed the artwork, and that part of an artwork’s meaning came from the person viewing it. So,
you see—even if you don’t have an art history degree, there really are no wrong answers, as the viewer is completing the artwork.
But there are things you can do to understand and appreciate art a little bit more. When I look at an artwork, I undertake a visual analysis. I look at the formal elements—color, texture, size. Imagine we’re viewing a painting. I look at the color; I look at the brushstrokes; I look at what is being described. If you’re looking at artworks in a gallery, read the wall text at the side of the artwork. If staff are present, ask questions. Ask your fellow visitors what they think. Asking questions is the key to understanding more. But above all, have confidence in front of an artwork. If you are appreciating an artwork, then you are the intended viewer and what you think matters. You are the only critic that counts.
24. According to the text, why do people seldom visit museums?
A. They are not interested in artworks.
B. Many art museums are free in the UK.
C. The artworks there are not completed.
D. They aren’t confident in front of artworks.
25.What is Ernst Gombrich’s opinion about artworks?
A. Their meanings vary from person to person.
B. It takes an art history degree to appreciate them.
C. They need an analysis of color, texture and size.
D. Asking questions is the key to understanding them.
26.What can be the best title for the text?
A. How to understand art
B. The power of artworks
C. The road to modern art
D. How to open an art gallery
C
We humans love to stare into our smart devices. We gaze for hours—about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day—at our computers, smartphones, tablets and televisions. Is all this staring bad for us? It might be mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.
Blue light is a type of electromagnetic(电磁的) radiation with a very short wavelength
that produces a high amount of energy. While it’s true that light can damage our eyes under certain cir cumstances, there’s no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes. But many people still think it is, which is why blue-light-blocking glasses are so popular. So do the glasses work?
“Everyone is very concerned that blu e light may be causing damage to the eye but there’s no evidence that it may be causing serious damage,” Dr. Rahul Khurana, clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, told Business Insider.
Blue light exposure is nothing new. In fact, the sun is the largest source of blue light. Moreover, blue light is also present in LED light. But if blue light isn’t harmful, then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we’re looking at our screens? The answer is eyestrain(眼疲劳): More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain. And blue light, it seems, isn’t the cause. Instead, our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices. So if eyestrain is the issue, blue-light-blocking glasses are probably of little use.
27. What do we know about blue light?
A. It has the shortest wavelength.
B. It may come from electronic devices.
C. It is a kind of nuclear radiation.
D. It consumes a great deal of energy.
28. What causes the popularity of blue-light-blocking glasses?
A. Widespread use of smart devices. B Evidence of their benefits to eyes.
C. Belief in blue light's harmful effect.
D. Scientific understanding of blue light.
29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. Rubbing eyes makes people strained.
B. Blue light may connect with tired eyes.
C. Eye problems are not easy to deal with.
D. Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.
30. According to the text, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses may be________.
A. tiring
B. harmful
C. useless
D. beneficial
