Being able to see is one of them. However, not everyone in the world has good vision (视力).The World Health Organization (WHO) has released its World Report on Vision. It says that 65 million people could get their vision back with a cataract operation (白内障手术), but cannot get one because they have little or no healthcare where they live. In addition, over 800 million people have trouble doing everyday activities because they don’t have enough money to buy a pair of glasses.For example, there are thousands of nearsighted (近视的) African drivers who have difficulty seeing people walking across the road. This makes it dangerous for them to drive. And there are coffee farmers in Bolivia who find it hard to see their ripe (成熟的) beans because of cataracts. This means they can’t harvest as many beans.This is mainly a problem in low-income countries, such as western and eastern sub-Saharan (撒哈拉沙漠以南的) Africa, according to the report. A lack (缺少) of eye care services is one of the main reasons for this.In southern Asia and other places around the world, there are still some cultural barriers (障碍) when trying to get glasses. In some places, people believe wearing glasses will make one’s eyes worse. In other places, when kids start wearing glasses, their grandparents will say they are for rich people and not for village boys or girls, Public Radio International reported. These beliefs and attitudes must change before more kids can get glasses and improve their vision.1. The WHO recently released a report about _____ around the world.A. cataract operations B. vision problems C. eye care services D. types of glasses2. The examples of African drivers and Bolivian farmers show that _____.A. people with poor vision face many difficultiesB. too much work can cause vision problemsC. people with cataracts will go blindD. there is no eye care in African countries3. In southern Asia, people still have problems getting glasses because _____.A. wearing glasses goes against their cultural beliefsB. wearing glasses can make their eyes worseC. only rich people can afford to buy glassesD. wearing glasses makes them look ugly4. What can we learn from the story A. Only poor people have eye problems.B. Eye health is a big problem in poor countries.C. People can do little to improve their eyesight.D. WHO will help some countries deal with vision problems.5. What’s the best title for the text A. The poor eye care service problem. B. Can we stop blindness C. What causes low income D. Why do we need to protect our eyes 参考答案: DABCA(三)阅读理解 阅读下列短文,从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出一个能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。Babies do it for up to eighteen hours a day. Mrs. Thatcher and Napoleon both said they only needed to do it three or four hours a night. Sleep. No one can live without it. But how much do we really need Research by the National Sleep Foundation in Washington says that we all need eight hours’ sleep every night. Scientists have found that people who sleep for less than six and a half hours a night are more often ill than people who sleep for eight hours. Going without sleep also increases the chance of serious illness. Workaholics who sleep for less than five hours often die young, and do less well at work. The scientists found that, on average, adults sleep for seven hours a night, with 32% sleeping less than six hours. It also says that the idea that we need less sleep as we get older is completely untrue. “People have no idea how important sleep is to their lives,” Dr. Thomas Roth, director of the Foundation says. “Good health needs good sleep.” “But not too much of it,” says Professor Jim Home of Loughborough University. “Sleep is like food and drink,” he believes, “You would always like to have a little bit more, but that doesn’t mean you need it.” Professor Home studied a group of people who could spend as many hours as they wanted in bed; after ten hours they didn’t find it any easier to get up. And people who sleep for more than nine hours a night die younger than people who usually sleep for seven or eight!1. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that _________.A. babies spend most of their time sleepingB. there are some people who can live without sleepC. famous people always need less sleep than common peopleD. Mrs. Thatcher and Napoleon had to work for 4 hours a night2. The underlined word “workholics” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”.A. people who never work at night B. people who are too lazy to workC. people who work most of the time D. people who don’t need to work3.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following is true A. People need less sleep as they get older.B. Adults should sleep for seven hours a night.C. People will have good sleep if they have good health.D. About one third of adults sleep for less than six hours a night.4.According to Professor Jim Home of Loughborough University, _________.A. the more sleep we have, the betterB. people who like eating and drinking usually sleep wellC. it’s best for people to sleep seven or eight hours a nightD. people can get up more easily after sleeping for ten hours5.This passage mainly talks about _________.A. when people should go to sleep B. how much sleep we needC. whether we can live without sleep D. why people sleep at night参考答案:ACDCB(四)阅读理解 阅读下列短文,从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出一个能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。Online study can be hard.Zech Hipp was doing it with great difficulty.Zech is 15 years old.He lives in Seattle, Washington, with his four brothers and his mother."It's hard to stay focused,"he said."I can't stay focused on one thing at a time."Zech has gotten some helpful advice from his"Big Brother"Owen Kim.

So schools are usually open before and after regular classes. This way, students without computers or Internet at home can use the schools' facilities(设施).Sometimes students are given “extended learning tasks”. This means they need to do more research and analysis, such as when working on a history or art project. But no matter how big the task, teachers will always give feedback(反馈). They help students find areas where they can improve.Some schools send students home with a homework diary. They encourage parents to check on their children's progress. Other schools have e portal(门户网站) that parents can use to track(追踪) their children's performance every day.Sadly, not every parent takes that much interest. In a 2011 survey of 1,000 students aged 11 to 18, over one in 10 said that they did not have space at home to do homework. Almost 15 percent said that their family did not support them enough.1.In the UK, a 7th grader might spend ________ on their homework every day.A.60 to 100 minutes B.45 to 90 minutesC.90 to 120 minutes D.60 to 120 minutes2.What kind of homework doesn't need to be done on computers A.Preparing presentations. B.Finishing a test.C.Searching for information. D.Doing online tasks.3.The “extended learning tasks” are tasks that ________.A.need more research and analysis B.take students more time to learnC.require students to make choices D.are related to history or art4.In the UK, parents usually check their children's progress by ________. A.reading their homework diary B.visiting their schools' homepageC.asking a teacher D.asking their child5.What is the main idea of the passage A.Homework for secondary students in the UK is difficult.B.Computers are necessary for secondary students in the UK.C.Homework is important for secondary students in the UK.D.Parents play a big role in helping students with their homework.参考答案:BBBAC(十一)阅读理解 阅读下列短文,从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出一个能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。1.How many apps are shown in the text A.3.
