Protecting Your Eyes During Computer Use
Sit far enough away from the screen.___36___.To make sure your computer is positioned right, try the high-five test: if you can properly high-five your computer screen with a full arm extension, you’re sitting too close.
Position reference materials properly. If they're too low, your eyes will have to refocus every time you glance at them, leading to eye tiredness. You can also strain (损伤) your neck by moving it to look down too often.___37___
Blink (眨眼) often. We naturally blink about 20 times every minute.___38___.This means your eyes are at much greater risk of drying out when working on the computer. Since your body won’t blink as much naturally, you’ll have to be conscious of this and force yourself to blink. Deliberately blink every five seconds or so.
___39___.Your screen should be brightened in relation to your environment. If you’re working in a brightly lit room, you can increase your brightness settings; if the room is dim, lower the settings. While the screen should be the brightest object in the room, it shouldn’t be on the brightest setting in a darkroom.
Reduce glare from your screen. Surrounding lights can reflect off your screen and strain your eyes. Keep your computer screen clean. Dust on your screen can further reflect light into your eyes. Dust your screen on a regular basis with either a specialized cleaning cloth or spray.____40____.The sun’s rays will reflect off the screen and back into your eyes. If this is unavoidable, cover the window with a sheet to help reduce the glare.
A．Adjust your screen lighting
B．During the time you should blink
C．Avoid sitting with a window behind you
D．Walk around to prevent the long sitting by a window
E．But when we are focusing on a screen this can drop by as much as half
F．This is usually considered at least an arm’s length away from the screen
G．They should be located above the keyboard and below the computer's monitor
【答案】36．F 37．G 38．E 39．A 40．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了使用电脑时保护眼睛的一些方法。
36．上文“Sit far enough away from the screen.(坐得离屏幕足够远)”提到要坐得离电脑屏幕足够远，下文“To make sure your computer is positioned right, try the high-five test: if you can properly high-five your computer screen with a full arm extension, you’re sitting too close.(为了确保你的电脑位置正确，可以试试击掌测试：如果你可以正确地伸展手臂击掌，那么你就坐得太近了)”指出一个具体方法来测试一下自己是否离屏幕距离合适。由此可知，空处应该是承接上文，具体描述离屏幕合适的距离，F项“这通常被认为是至少一臂远离屏幕”符合，是对上文的具体描述，故选F。
37．根据本段中心句“Position reference materials properly.(正确放置参考材料)”可知，本段主要介绍要正确放置参考材料，上文“If they’re too low, your eyes will have to refocus every time you glance at them, leading to eye tiredness. You can also strain (损伤) your neck by moving it to look down too often.(如果它们太低，每次你看它们的时候你的眼睛将不得不重新聚焦，导致眼睛疲劳。脖子频繁地向下移动，你也能损伤你的脖子)”指出参考材料放得低会导致眼睛疲劳，脖子损伤。由此可知，空处应该指出把参考材料放在正确的位置，G项“它们应该位于键盘的上方和计算机显示器的下方”符合，对上文做出总结，“They”指代上文reference materials，故选G。
38．上文“We naturally blink about 20 times every minute.(我们正常每分钟眨眼20次)”指出正常眼睛每分钟眨20次，下文“This means your eyes are at much greater risk of drying out when working on the computer. (这意味着当你在电脑前工作时，你的眼睛有更大的干燥风险)”指出盯着电脑屏幕，眼睛会有干燥的风险，这说明盯着电脑会导致每分钟眨眼睛次数变少。由此可知，E项“但是当我们把注意力集中在屏幕上的时候，这个数字会减少一半”符合，“this”代指上文提到的“blink about 20 times every minute”。故选E。
39．此处是本段中心句。根据下文“Your screen should be brightened in relation to your environment. If you’re working in a brightly lit room, you can increase your brightness settings; if the room is dim, lower the settings. While the screen should be the brightest object in the room, it shouldn’t be on the brightest setting in a darkroom.(你的屏幕应该根据你的环境变亮。如果你在一个明亮的房间工作，你可以增加你的亮度设置；如果房间是昏暗的，降低设置。虽然屏幕应该是房间里最亮的物体，但不应该是暗房里最亮的设置)”可知，本段主要在讲电脑屏幕亮度应该随着环境来调整。由此可知，A项“调整你的屏幕亮度”能概括本段内容。故选A。
40．下文“The sun’s rays will reflect off the screen and back into your eyes. If this is unavoidable, cover the window with a sheet to help reduce the glare.(阳光会从屏幕上反射回你的眼睛。如果这是不可避免的，用一张床单盖住窗户以减少眩光)”指出坐在身后有窗户的地方的一些坏处，因此空处应该指出不要坐在身后有窗户的地方。由此可知，C项“避免坐在身后有窗户的地方”符合语境，下文是C项的原因。故选C。

2. 【2023届甘肃省武威市凉州区三模诊断试题】
Leave a book in a public place, so that someone else can pick it up and read it, then leave it again for another person. In an ideal situation, the book, once brought into the bookcrossing movement, can travel for years. ____16____
One can always go through bookshelves and find a few books that do not quite belong there anymore. ____17____Quite the opposite, bookcrossing is about giving books which you no longer like a new life. Someone will certainly like the books you did not enjoy.
After choosing the book you want to share with others, use its ISBN code or a title and register it at the official bookcrossing site. ____18____Either print a label or write the rules of bookcrossing on the first page of the book. Include the unique code.
____19____In big cities, there may be special bookcrossing zones that cafes and libraries choose to open. However, it is a frequent practice to leave books “in the wild”: on a bench in a park, or in a tourist spot. It is a good idea to pack the book in a transparent plastic bag, in case of the bad weather.
Once the book has been found and registered, you will get e-mails. You will keep getting them every time someone finds your book in the future. Since its launch in 2003，the movement has gathered over a million members who have sent almost eleven million books out to travel. ____20____A very noble goal, indeed!
A．Leave the book somewhere in public.
B．Attract the attention of potential readers.
C．Its purpose is to connect people through books.
D．You will get a unique code for the book from the site.
E．Are some authors fond of sending their own books around?
F．Must you contribute your favourite books to bookcrossing?
G．And it changes owners around the world and spreads love for reading.
【答案】16．G 17．F 18．D 19．A 20．C
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了bookcrossing这一运动，介绍了如何让一本书加入bookcrossing，以及它的目的。
16．根据前文“Leave a book in a public place, so that someone else can pick it up and read it, then leave it again for another person.   In an ideal situation, the book, once brought into the bookcrossing movement, can travel for years.(把一本书放在公共场所，这样别人就可以拿起来读，然后再把它留给另一个人。在理想的情况下，书籍一旦被带入图书穿越运动，就可以旅行数年)”，空处位于段尾，应是对前文的总结，所以G项“And it changes owners around the world and spreads love for reading.(它在世界各地更换了主人，传播了对阅读的热爱)”是前文行为的结果，符合文意。故选G项。
17．根据前文“One can always go through bookshelves and find a few books that do not quite belong there anymore.(一个人总是可以翻遍书架，找到一些不再属于那里的书)”以及后文“Quite the opposite, bookcrossing is about giving books which you no longer like a new life.(相反，bookcrossing指的是给你不再喜欢的书一个新的生命)”可知，空处是个过渡句，根据后文有新概念bookcrossing，而前文没有相关内容，所以应是在空处提出，所以F项“Must you contribute your favourite books to bookcrossing?(你一定要把你最喜欢的书捐献给bookcrossing吗?)”符合文意，起到过渡作用，其中bookcrossing为同词复现。故选F项。
18．根据前文“After choosing the book you want to share with others, use its ISBN code or a title and register it at the official bookcrossing site.(在选择了你想与他人分享的书之后，使用它的ISBN代码或书名，并在官方的bookcrossing网站上注册)”可知，本段在讲述如何让一本书成为与他人分享的书，在根据后文“Either print a label or write the rules of bookcrossing on the first page of the book. Include the unique code.(要么打印一个标签，要么在书的第一页写上穿越书的规则。包含唯一代码)”可知，出现新的概念unique code，所以空处应提出这个概念，所以D项“You will get a unique code for the book from the site.(你会从网站上得到这本书的唯一代码)”起到承上启下的作用，符合本段主题，其中unique code为同词复现。故选D项。
19．分析设空，空处位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“In big cities, there may be special bookcrossing zones that cafes and libraries choose to open. However, it is a frequent practice to leave books “in the wild”: on a bench in a park, or in a tourist spot. It is a good idea to pack the book in a transparent plastic bag, in case of the bad weather.(在大城市里，咖啡馆和图书馆可能会开辟专门的图书穿越区。然而，把书留在“野外”是一种常见的做法:在公园的长椅上，或者在旅游景点。把书装在透明的塑料袋里是个好主意，以防天气不好)”可知，本段主要讲述了，书籍注册好后，把它放在哪，所以A项“Leave the book somewhere in public.(把书放在公共场所)”符合本段主题，可作为中心句。故选A项。
20．分析设空，空处位于段尾，应是对前文的总结，根据前文“Since its launch in 2003，the movement has gathered over a million members who have sent almost eleven million books out to travel.(自2003年发起以来，该运动已经聚集了超过100万名成员，他们已经向世界各地发送了近1100万本书)”可知，C项“Its purpose is to connect people through books.(它的目的是通过书籍将人们联系起来)”是对前文的总结，在根据后文“A very noble goal, indeed!(一个非常崇高的目标，的确!)”是对空处的评论，其中purpose和goal为同义词。故选C项。

5.【2023届河南省开封市三模试题】
Criticism hurts even when it’s constructive.____16____ Do you pretend you didn’t hear or do you argue back to defend yourself? In fact, there are actually other ways of handling criticism! The next time someone gives you feedback, try doing the following things instead.
Don’t react immediately.
Getting angry can happen really fast. Sometimes all it takes is a misplaced word or the wrong one. While it’s normal to feel this way, try to cool off and stay calm.____17____After all, you don’t want to say something you’ll end up regretting later!
Assess the criticism.
Sometimes the best thing to do is to take a quick step back and assess the criticism: who said it and why? ____18____Or are they just trying to be mean? Taking a step back allows you to determine if perhaps the criticism has some real value, you hadn’t seen before or if it’s better to just brush off the comment.
Don’t take it personally.
Remember that sometimes people do things not to attack you personally, but to vent anger or frustration. So calm down and be as understanding as you can.____19____Meanwhile, let the other person know that their criticism was uncalled for.
____20____
If the criticism does actually have some truth to it, then the best thing to do is figure out how you can use it to improve. Get straight to the point and ask the person which part of your work they’d improve and how. That way you not only show you are interested in doing things better, but you are also involving the person who criticized you.
A．So how do you react?
B．Use it to your advantage.
C．Polish your work carefully.
D．How about negative feedback catching us by surprise?
E．Give yourself some time to process what you’ve heard before reacting.

【答案】16．A 17．E 18．F 19．G 20．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些好的方法帮助你更好地处理批评。
16．根据空后内容“Do you pretend you didn’t hear or do you argue back to defend yourself?(你是假装没听见还是反驳为自己辩护？)”可知，下文提到的是面对批评的时候，你会有何反应。选项A“So how do you react?(那么你的反应是什么？)”引出下文的答句，与下文内容保持一致。故选A。
17．根据空前内容“While it’s normal to feel this way, try to cool off and stay calm.(虽然这种感觉很正常，但试着冷静下来，保持冷静。)”可知，作者建议当生气的时候我们要试着冷静下来。选项E“Give yourself some time to process what you’ve heard before reacting.(在做出反应之前，给自己一些时间来消化所听到的内容。)”与上文内容保持一致，同时引出下文“After all, you don’t want to say something you’ll end up regretting later!(毕竟，你不想说一些你以后会后悔的话吧！)”，因为只有给自己一些时间来消化所听到的内容才能让自己不会说出后悔的话。故选E。
18．根据上文“who said it and why? (是谁说的，为什么？)”以及下文“Or are they just trying to be mean? (或者他们只是想变得刻薄？)”可知，上下文都是和批评相关，围绕评判进行的评估和提问。选项F“Are they trying to help you, but did not communicate their point of view nicely?(他们是否试图帮助你，但没有很好地表达他们的观点？)”也是提问，同时也和批评相关，符合上下文主要内容。故选F。
19．根据空前内容“Remember that sometimes people do things not to attack you personally, but to vent anger or frustration. So calm down and be as understanding as you can.(记住，有时候人们做一些事情并不是针对你个人，而是为了发泄愤怒或沮丧。所以冷静下来，尽可能地理解。)”可知，作者建议我们当被批评的时候，要冷静下来尽可能去理解对方。选项G“Choosing to take the right path is doing yourself a favor and not getting angry.(选择走正确的道路就是帮自己一个忙，不要生气。)”与上文内容一致，都是建议我们要选择不生气，冷静。故选G。

Get straight to the point and ask the person which part of your work they’d improve and how. That way you not only show you are interested in doing things better, but you are also involving the person who criticized you.(如果批评确实有些道理，那么最好的办法就是找出如何利用它来改进。开门见山地问面试官你工作的哪一部分需要改进，以及如何改进。这样一来，你不仅表现出你有兴趣把事情做得更好，而且还能让批评你的人参与进来。)”可知，作者建议我们，当批评确实有道理的时候，我们可以选择利用批评找到提升自己的方式，所以本段的主要内容就是利用批评。选项B“Use it to your advantage.(充分利用它使它对你有利。)”符合本段内容。故选B。

6.【2023届河南省新乡市高三三模试题】
Left-handed people make up around 12% of the global population. One really interesting fact that I picked up was from a scientist who believed that left-handed people tended to be more independent as a result of having to adapt to a world that is largely built for right-handed individuals.___36___!
More likely to have allergies and sleep disorders
A study found that left-handed people were 11 times more likely to suffer from allergies than right-handed folk.___37___.
Left-handed people use the right side of the brain the most
___38___, meaning that the right side controls the left side of the body and the other way around. Hence there is a well-known saying “only left-handed people are in their right minds”. The right-hand side of the brain is thought to control the left side of the body and tasks to do with the arts and creativity.
Are left-handed people smarter?
___39___! One 2007 study “Effect of handedness on intelligence level of students”shows that lefties are more likely to have higher IQ. However,another 2010 study “The relationship between hand preference, hand performance, and general cognitive ability” suggests the exact opposite!
___40___
Experiments showed that when given two tasks to complete simultaneously (同时), lefties performed best. This is because right-handed people tend to solve problems by breaking them down into parts and analyzing each piece one at a time. While left-handed people tend to look at the problem as a whole and use pattern-matching to try and solve it.
A．Better at multi-tasking
B．Smarter than the right-handed
C．As we know, the brain is cross-wired
D．This one varies depending on how dated your source is
E．Here are a few more fascinating left-handed people facts
F．Mixed-handed children are more likely to experience language issues
G．And lefties were two and a half times more likely to suffer from sleep disorders
【答案】36．E 37．G 38．C 39．D 40．A
【导语】本文是说明文，文章主要介绍了关于左撇子的一些有趣的事情。
36．根据空前“Left-handed people make up around 12% of the global population. One really interesting fact that I picked up was from a scientist who believed that left-handed people tended to be more independent as a result of having to adapt to a world that is largely built for right-handed individuals.(左撇子约占全球人口的12%。我从一位科学家那里发现了一个非常有趣的事实，他认为左撇子往往更独立，因为他们必须适应一个主要为右撇子建立的世界)”可知研究发现左撇子更独立，根据后文“More likely to have allergies and sleep disorders(更容易有过敏和睡眠障碍)”可知接下来文章主要讲的是左撇子的一些有趣的事情，全文是总——分的结构，由此推知，空处承上启下，所以应该讲的是和左撇子有关的一些有趣的事情，E项Here are a few more fascinating left-handed people facts(这里有一些关于左撇子的有趣事实)承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选E项。
37．根据本段标题“More likely to have allergies and sleep disorders(更容易有过敏和睡眠障碍)”可知本段主要讲的是左撇子更容易有过敏和睡眠障碍，根据空前“A study found that left-handed people were 11 times more likely to suffer from allergies than right-handed folk.(一项研究发现，左撇子患过敏症的可能性是右撇子的11倍)”可知此处讲的是左撇子更容易患过敏症，所以可以推断接下来应该讲的是睡眠障碍问题，G项And lefties were two and a half times more likely to suffer from sleep disorders(左撇子患睡眠障碍的可能性是左撇子的2.5倍)指出了左撇子更容易患有睡眠障碍，符合上下文语境。故选G项。
38．根据本段小标题“Left-handed people use the right side of the brain the most(左撇子使用右脑最多)”可知本段主要讲的是左撇子更容易使用右脑，根据空后“meaning that the right side controls the left side of the body and the other way around.(也就是说，大脑的右侧控制着身体的左侧，反之亦然)”可知此处是在对左右脑的交叉控制这一事实进行解释，所以空处应该指出大脑是交叉控制的这一事实，C项As we know, the brain is cross-wired(正如我们所知，大脑是交叉的)符合上下文语境。故选C项。
39．根据本段小标题“Are left-handed people smarter?(左撇子更聪明吗？)”可知本段主要围绕着左撇子的是不是更聪明来展开，根据空后“One 2007 study “Effect of handedness on intelligence level of students” shows that lefties are more likely to have higher IQ. However, another 2010 study “The relationship between hand preference,hand performance, and general cognitive ability” suggests the exact opposite!( 2007年一项名为“用手习惯对学生智力水平的影响”的研究表明，左撇子更有可能拥有更高的智商。然而，另一项2010年的研究“用手偏好、用手表现和一般认知能力之间的关系”得出了完全相反的结论！)”可知关于左撇子的智商问题不同日期的研究结果是不一样的。空处位于段首，应是对全段的概括，所以空处应该讲关于左撇子是不是更聪明这个问题的答案与消息来源的日期有关，D项This one varies depending on how dated your source is(这取决于你的资料来源的年代)明确指出关于左撇子是不是更聪明这个问题的答案与消息来源的日期有关，既回答了小标题的提问，同时也概括了全段，而且D项中的This one指代小标题的问题，符合上下文语境。故选D项。
40．根据空后“Experiments showed that when given two tasks to complete simultaneously (同时), lefties performed best. This is because right-handed people tend to solve problems by breaking them down into parts and analyzing each piece one at a time. While left-handed people tend to look at the problem as a whole and use pattern-matching to try and solve it.(实验表明，当同时完成两项任务时，左撇子的表现最好。这是因为右撇子倾向于把问题分解成几个部分，并一次分析一个部分来解决问题。而左撇子倾向于把问题看作一个整体，并使用模式匹配来尝试解决它)”可知左撇子在解决问题时更倾向于整体解决问题。空处为本段标题，所以空处应该讲的是左撇子的另外一个有趣的事实——更善于把问题看作一个整体来解决，A项Better at multi-tasking(更善于同时处理多项任务)指出左撇子的另一个有趣的事实即善于处理多项任务，符合上下文语境。故选A项。

It’s normal for friends to experience conflict, disagreements, and even fight.____16____Most times conflict with a friend is easily solved. But in some cases, the disagreement and the conflict grow leading to anger, sadness and even the end of a friendship. Learning to handle the conflict with friends in a healthy way is beneficial for both sides. Here are some tips.
Calm down. The first thing is to calm down.____17____Prevent further damage to the relationship by taking a moment to calm down. Get some alone time. Tell your friend that you need a moment to clear your head. You can either go for a walk or just take a warm bath.
____18____It may feel as if it helps you explain your concerns more thoroughly if you bring in related examples from past events. Avoid this at all costs. Past issues for discussion only make things worse. Remember it’s important to focus on the issue at hand, not past events.
Work towards a compromise. Unfortunately, some people believe that a compromise means a  “lose/lose situation” because each person has to give up something. While this is true, every healthy relationship usually involves compromise and adjusting to others’ needs or wants. It takes two to make it work.____19____
Be careful of unhealthy friendships. It’s generally a good idea to work through conflicts with friends.____20____If you are in a friendship that is based more on conflict or you seem to be the one always apologizing, you need to re-evaluate if this friendship is worth keeping and consider when to walk away.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了正确处理与朋友之间冲突的四种方法。
16．根据上文“It’s normal for friends to experience conflict, disagreements, and even fight.(朋友之间发生冲突、分歧甚至打架是很正常的)”可知，该空位于第一段中，其作用主要为引出话题，前文提到朋友之间产生分歧很正常，本句承接上文继续说明，故B选项“你们不可能事事都意见一致”符合语境，故选B。
17．根据后文“Prevent further damage to the relationship by taking a moment to calm down.(花点时间冷静下来，以免进一步损害你们的关系)”可知，本句是在说明可能造成损害关系的行为：说出或做一些让我们后来后悔的话。故E选项“在紧张的情况下，很容易说出或做一些让我们后来后悔的话”符合语境，故选E。
18．根据后文“It may feel as if it helps you explain your concerns more thoroughly if you bring in related examples from past events. Avoid this at all costs. Past issues for discussion only make things worse. Remember it’s important to focus on the issue at hand, not past events.(如果你从过去的事件中举出相关的例子，你可能会觉得这有助于你更彻底地解释你的担忧。无论如何都要避免这种情况。讨论过去的问题只会让事情变得更糟。记住，重要的是要关注眼前的问题，而不是过去的事情)”可知，该空为第三段小标题，是本段中心意思的体现，根据本段内容可知该段主要介绍了“就事论事”的建议，故A选项“继续讨论当前的问题”符合语境，故选A。

Like the tide, it rises and it falls, so be prepared for this”（当你学会了如何设定目标，你就可以挖掘你的内在动力，实现你的梦想。记住，动力不是恒定的。就像潮水一样，有涨有落，所以要做好准备。）提到如何设定并实现目标，以及下文具体列举了四种实现目标的方法。故可推断空格处内容为有一些实现目标的建议。结合选项F项Here are some tips to keep you focused on your meaningful projects.（这里有一些建议可以让你专注于有意义的项目。）符合此推断，此处起到承上启下的作用。故选F项。
17．根据本段主题句Finish a small task early on.（尽早完成一项小任务。）可知，本段强调提前完成任务。空格后面的句子“When this becomes a habit, add something that can help you access your inner self and be sure to do it early on in the day.”（当这成为一种习惯时，添加一些可以帮助你接触内在自我的东西，一定要在一天的早些时候做。）提到的“this”应该指代空格处的内容，应该是与主题句有关的内容，结合选项G项Completing a task right when you get up can set the tone for the rest of the day.（在你起床的时候完成一项任务可以为这一天剩下的时间定下基调。）符合此推断，与上文内容意思一致。故选G项。

19．根据该段标题“Be optimistic.”（保持乐观。）可知，本段强调乐观态度的重要性。此处是对主题句的进一步解释，解释为什么要有乐观的态度。结合选项B项Optimism is fuel for achieving goals.（乐观是实现目标的燃料。）符合此推断，为对主题句的进一步解释，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。
20．由该题为段落小标题可知，为总结该段内容。该段下文“That negative voice is always there, ready to appear. Some call this voice the ego .The ego is something that plays out in our head to convince us of our unworthiness. Tell your ego you appreciate it wanting to protect you and care for you.”（消极的声音总是在那里，随时准备出现。有人把这种声音称为自我。自我是在我们头脑中发挥作用的东西，它使我们相信自己毫无价值。告诉你的自我，你感激它想要保护你、关心你。）可知，讲的是与负面声音有关的内容。结合选项A项Talk to your negative voice.（与你的负面声音交谈。）意思一致，为该段内容的总结。故选A项。
