A nine-year-old boy has set a new 5km parkrun world record for his age group. Louis Robinett, a member of the Poole Runners junior athletics club, shaved 13 seconds off the previous world record, which was set in California in 2017, after he crossed the line in 17 minutes and 40 seconds.
Louis, who broke the record at the Poole parkrun in Dorset on Saturday, said, “I’m on top of the world right now. It’s a huge deal to break a world record. I couldn’t have done it without the support of my family and the team at Poole Runners.”
Louis was accompanied on the parkrun by Dion Garner, a member of his athletics club, as all under-11s in the 5km event must run within arm’s length of an adult. Garner said of Louis’s achievement, “His natural talent, combined with his dedication and spirit, is mind-blowing. He loves the sports and has really practiced a lot.” A spokesman for Poole Runners said, “With his new world record, Louis has raised the bar for young athletes everywhere. This isn’t just a win for Louis, it’s a new benchmark (标准) for youth sports, inspiring children all over the world to aim higher.”
Parkrun was started by 13 friends as a weekly event in Bushy Park, southwest London, in 2004. By 2015 more than 80,000 people were gathering in parks around the world each Saturday to participate in a parkrun. Only three years later about a quarter of a million people were taking part in parkruns each week, in 1,500 events spread across 20 countries.

Though trees cannot speak verbally, Evan Luchkow, a 32-year-old Canadian filmmaker, made ancient tea trees the protagonists (主角) in his latest film, The Tree Listens, allowing them to “tell” their story about interacting with the locals in Chashu Village, Southwest China’s Chongqing.
When the Canadian stepped into the village, surprises kept coming. The luxuriant local tea trees are so tall that people need ladders to pick their leaves. The harmonious coexistence of people and nature in the village also struck him. “In Canada, the preservation of nature sometimes keeps people separated from it. On our way into this village, I saw lots of houses cradled by these mountains, which was truly surprising, says Luchkow, adding that the view was just like a postcard.
Soon he was able to set the tone for the filming, which depicts a silent dialogue between trees and people. For thousands of years, from generation to generation, the tea trees have been receiving people’s care and protection. “I think if the trees could speak, they might want to deliver their gratitude to the villagers. That’s what I tried to express via the film,” says the director.
In the process of documenting the tea village’s history, Luchkow found that the well-known Canadian coffee brand Tim Hortons had extended its footprint to Chongqing. Wu Ke, one of the many young locals who choose to stay in their hometown to make tea, finds himself gradually fall in love with coffee too. While local Chinese take to coffee nowadays, Luchkow’s friends back in Canada enjoy Chinese tea a lot. “The communication between tea and coffee is like the exchanges between people,” he says.
8. What surprised Luchkow first when entering Chashu Village
A. Chinese tea tree. B. Nice locals. C. Beautiful view. D. Strange nature.
9. What is the content of The Tree Listens
A. Ancient tea trees.
B. Striking legends about Chinese tea.
C. Fine relationship between tea trees and locals.
D. Harmonious coexistence between Chinese people and nature.
10. What’s Luchkow’s purpose of making the film
A. To tell the life stories of Chashu villagers.
B. To call on people to live harmoniously with nature.
C. To report how Chinese people work hard to become rich.
D. To convey the ancient tea trees’ gratitude to villagers.
11. What may be talked about in the following paragraph
A. More local people stayed to make tea.
B. Chinese people begin to fall in love with coffee.
C. Canadians are increasingly in love with Chinese tea.
D. More communication happens between Chinese and Canadians.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了加拿大制片人走进中国茶树村去拍摄一部以茶树为主题的电影，来歌颂茶树与当地人之间的紧密联系。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段前两句“When the Canadian stepped into the village, surprises kept coming. The luxuriant local tea trees are so tall that people need ladders to pick their leaves.”（当这位加拿大人走进村子的时候，惊喜不断地出现。当地郁郁葱葱的茶树非常高大，人们需要梯子才能摘到它们的叶子。）可知，当Luchkow进入村子，首先使他惊讶的是茶树的高大青葱。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“Soon he was able to set the tone for the filming, which depicts a silent dialogue between trees and people. For thousands of years, from generation to generation, the tea trees have been receiving people’s care and protection. ”（很快，他就为影片定下了基调，影片描绘了树与人之间的无声对话。几千年来，代代相传，茶树一直受到人们的关爱和保护。）可知，这部电影想描述茶树与当地人之间的密切联系。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句““I think if the trees could speak, they might want to deliver their gratitude to the villagers. That’s what I tried to express via the film,” says the director.”（“我想，如果树木会说话，它们可能会向村民们表达感激之情。这就是我想通过这部电影表达的东西。”）可知，Luchkow想通过这部电影传达茶树对村民的感激之情。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“While local Chinese take to coffee nowadays, Luchkow’s friends back in Canada enjoy Chinese tea a lot. “The communication between tea and coffee is like the exchanges between people,” he says”（如今，当地的中国人喜欢喝咖啡，而他在加拿大的朋友却非常喜欢中国茶。“茶和咖啡之间的交流就像人与人之间的交流，”他说。）可知，作者将茶在加拿大受欢迎的情况与咖啡在中国受欢迎的情况与人与人之间的交流作类比，接下来会着重描写中国人和加拿大人之间的交流。故选D项。

Supermassive black holes all over the universe are merging (合并), a fate that will eventually come for the black hole at the center of our galaxy (银河系). These magic universal structures at the heart of nearly every galaxy consume light and matter and are impossible to see with traditional telescopes. But now, for the first time, astrophysicists have gathered knowledge directly from these huge universal structures, in the form of gravitational waves that move around through space and time.
Essential to these findings is the detection of complicated gravitational waves, and understanding how they are produced. Any object with mass that is moving causes these waves—invisible bending in time and space that were first theorized by Albert Einstein in 1916 but not detected until roughly 100 years later. In 2015, scientists used the ground-based Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory to detect how short, high-frequency gravitational waves from one merger between less massive black holes move around the Earth by less than the width of a single subatomic particle (亚原子微粒).
The findings help confirm what will one day happen to the supermassive black hole at our galaxy’s center known as Sagittarius A, as it crashes into the black hole at the heart of the Andromeda galaxy. “The Milky Way galaxy is on a crash course with the Andromeda galaxy, and in about 4.5 billion years, the two galaxies are set to merge, said Joseph Simon, a member of Nanograv. That merger, he said, will eventually result in the black hole at the center of Andromeda and Sagittarius A sinking into the center of the newly combined galaxy.
“Before now, we didn’t even know if supermassive black holes merged, and now we have evidence that hundreds of thousands of them are merging, said Chiara Mingarelli, another member of Nanograv.
If scientists understand more about the history of the merging supermassive black holes, it could help know how they form in the first place, said Masha Baryakhtar, a physicist who wasn’t involved in the research.
12. What stopped scientists from studying black holes
A. Black holes were too far away.
B. There were no ways to observe them.
C. Black holes were too supermassive.
D. People did not care to know them more.
13. What is the main topic of Paragraph 2
A. The causes of black holes’ merging.
B. The knowledge of gravitational waves.
C. The function of gravitational waves.
D. Two breakthroughs on black hole study.
14. What may support the evidence mentioned by Chiara
A. The actual detection of gravitational waves.
B. Black holes consuming light and matter.
C. Objects moving with mass cause gravitational waves.
D. The merging of Andromeda and Sagittarius A.
15. What may be the best title of the text
A. Black Hole in Our Galaxy Is on Crash Course
B. Gravitational Waves Were First Detected
C. The End of Universe Goes to Black Holes
D. Black Holes Merge to Form New Worlds
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述的银河系中心的黑洞正在合并。这些神奇的宇宙结构几乎存在于每个星系的中心，它们消耗光和物质，用传统的望远镜是不可能看到的。但现在，天体物理学家第一次直接从这些巨大的宇宙结构中收集到知识，这些结构以引力波的形式在空间和时间中传播。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“These magic universal structures at the heart of nearly every galaxy consume light and matter and are impossible to see with traditional telescopes. (这些神奇的宇宙结构几乎位于每个星系的中心，它们消耗光和物质，用传统的望远镜是不可能看到的)”可知，用传统的望远镜是不可能看到黑洞，因此阻止了科学家研究黑洞。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Any object with mass that is moving causes these waves—invisible bending in time and space that were first theorized by Albert Einstein in 1916 but not detected until roughly 100 years later. In 2015, scientists used the ground-based Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory to detect how short, high-frequency gravitational waves from one merger between less massive black holes move around the Earth by less than the width of a single subatomic particle (任何质量移动的物体都会引起这些波——时间和空间上看不见的弯曲，这是由爱因斯坦在1916年提出的，但直到大约100年后才被发现。 2015年，科学家们利用地面激光干涉引力波天文台探测质量较小黑洞合并产生的短高频引力波在地球上的移动幅度小于单个亚原子粒子的宽度。)”可知，本段主要讲解黑洞研究的两个突破。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But now, for the first time, astrophysicists have gathered knowledge directly from these huge universal structures, in the form of gravitational waves that move around through space and time. (但现在，天体物理学家第一次直接从这些巨大的宇宙结构中收集知识，以引力波的形式在空间和时间中移动。)”第二段“Essential to these findings is the detection of complicated gravitational waves, and understanding how they are produced. (这些发现的关键是探测复杂的引力波，并了解它们是如何产生的。)”以及倒数第二段“Before now, we didn’t even know if supermassive black holes merged, and now we have evidence that hundreds of thousands of them are merging, said Chiara Mingarelli (在此之前，我们甚至不知道超大质量黑洞是否合并，而现在我们有证据表明，成千上万的黑洞正在合并，Chiara Mingarelli说)”可知，这里的证据是指引力波的发现，A项：The actual detection of gravitational waves. (引力波的实际探测)符合Chiara的观点。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Supermassive black holes all over the universe are merging (合并), a fate that will eventually come for the black hole at the center of our galaxy (银河系). (宇宙中所有的超大质量黑洞都在合并，我们银河系中心的黑洞最终也会面临这样的命运。)”可知，文章主要讲述的是银河系中心的黑洞正在合并，A项：Black Hole in Our Galaxy Is on Crash Course(我们银河系的黑洞正在上“速成班”)合乎题意。故选A。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Getting sunburned from the Ultraviolet rays (UV，紫外线), no matter what your age is, is a risk factor for skin cancer. ____16____. And while using sunscreen (防晒霜) whenever you’re spending time in the sun is key among sun safety strategies, other measures matter, too. Here are tips from the sun safety experts on how to keep your skin burn-free and healthy.
Use sunscreen
Only about 19 percent of older men and 32 percent of older women report regularly using sunscreen, according to a 2019 study. But everyone should apply it to exposed skin whenever they’ll be outside, even on cloudy days. While the best sunscreen is one that you’ll use continually, our testing has found that some products perform better than others, even if they’re both marked with the same SPF. Members can find our full ratings at CR. org/sunscreen. ____17____.
Attend to tricky spots
Don’t forget your ears, the tops of your feet, the backs of your hands, and the back of your neck.
____18____
Put sunscreen on 15 minutes before you go outside. Be sure to apply enough—try to use 1 teaspoon for each exposed body part. Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming or sweating.
Double your protection
____19____. So if you’re out for a while, cover up with lightweight long sleeves and pants. You can skip sunscreen on those covered areas. And a wide-brimmed (宽边的) hat is always a good idea to protect your forehead and face.
Get the right sunglasses
You might find it challenging to apply sunscreen very close to your eyes, but these spots are likely to be burned, too. ____20____. Wearing sunglasses can help. Choose a pair labeled with “UV absorption up to 400nm”or a statement that the glasses block 100 percent of UVA and UVB rays.
A. Apply it correctly
B. Apply it thoroughly
C. No sunscreen perfectly blocks the sun’s rays
D. Plus, UV rays can damage the tender parts of your eyes
E. You can enjoy those bright summer days without getting burned
F. Protecting yourself from the sun’s UV rays should be a lifelong habit
G. The experts recommend a broad-range, water-resistant sunscreen of at least 30 SPF
【答案】16. F 17. G 18. A 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些在户外避免皮肤晒伤的方法。
【16题详解】
上文“Getting sunburned from the Ultraviolet rays, no matter what your age is, is a risk factor for skin cancer.”（无论你的年龄多大，被紫外线晒伤都是患皮肤癌的一个危险因素。）说明无论年纪多大，防晒很重要。F项“Protecting yourself from the sun’s UV rays should be a lifelong habit”（保护自己免受太阳紫外线的伤害应该是一个终生的习惯）照应前文，说明防晒无关年龄，“a lifelong habit”照应前文“no matter what your age is”，衔接恰当。故选F项。
【17题详解】
上文“While the best sunscreen is one that you’ll use continually, our testing has found that some products perform better than others, even if they’re both marked with the same SPF. Members can find our full ratings at CR. org/sunscreen.”（虽然最好的防晒霜是你可以持续使用的，但我们的测试发现，有些产品的效果比其他产品更好，即使它们都标有相同的SPF值。会员可以在CR. org/防晒霜上找到我们的完整评分）说明了不同防晒霜的效果不一样，G项“The experts recommend a broad-range, water-resistant sunscreen of at least 30 SPF”（专家建议使用防晒系数至少为30的大范围防水防晒霜）衔接上文，给出专家对于防晒霜选择的最低要求，衔接恰当。故选G项。
【18题详解】
空处为本段小标题。下文“Put sunscreen on 15 minutes before you go outside. Be sure to apply enough—try to use 1 teaspoon for each exposed body part. Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming or sweating.”（出门前15分钟涂上防晒霜。一定要用足够的量——尽量在每个暴露的身体部位用一茶匙。游泳或出汗后每2小时补涂一次）说明了要正确使用防晒霜，包括涂抹时间，用量等。A项“Apply it correctly”（正确使用）可以概括本段内容。故选A项。
【19题详解】
下文“So if you’re out for a while, cover up with lightweight long sleeves and pants.”（所以，如果你要出去一段时间，穿轻便的长袖和裤子）说明外出时，要穿防晒的衣物，C项“No sunscreen perfectly blocks the sun’s rays”（没有防晒霜能完全阻挡阳光）说明仅靠防晒霜是不够的，引出下文“所以外出还要穿防晒衣物”，与下文构成因果关系。故选C项。
【20题详解】
上文“You might find it challenging to apply sunscreen very close to your eyes, but these spots are likely to be burned, too.”（你可能会觉得在靠近眼睛的地方涂防晒霜很困难，但这些地方也可能被晒伤）说明眼睛周围也容易晒伤，D项“Plus, UV rays can damage the tender parts of your eyes”（另外，紫外线会损害眼睛的脆弱部位）衔接上文，说明不仅眼睛周围容易晒伤，而且紫外线会损伤眼睛的脆弱部位，引出下文解决办法“Wearing sunglasses can help.”（戴墨镜会有所帮助）衔接恰当。故选D项。

【41题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：我出生在这里，后来搬到了吉尔福德，但坎特伯雷是英国最美丽、最受欢迎、最具历史意义的城市之一。分析句子结构可知，and连接的第一个并列句缺谓语动词，根据“moved”可知，用一般过去时，主语“I”和“bear”之间是被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was born。
【42题详解】

【46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：位于斯图尔河畔，方济会花园是方济会修士们的第一个定居点，他们于1224年由圣方济派遣到这里为穷人传播教义和作品。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词“are”，故空处需填非谓语动词，根据句意可知，修士们被派遣到这里为了传播教义，sb be sent over to do sth, 故用动词不定式作宾补。故填to spread。
【47题详解】

If I could turn the clock back, I would apologize to Miss Wang for my rudeness or offensiveness. Miss Wang teaches us Chinese. She was pretty open-hearted and kindly. You could imagine a smiled young lady standing in the front of a group of troublemaking teens. One day, I asked Miss Wang several personal and rude question in class. She didn’t reply. Instead, she gave me a serious look. I thought her silence as an insult. After that unhappy experience I didn’t attend his classes any more. Missing her classes are a mistake and I feel very sorry. Every now and then this unforgettable memory appears vivid in my mind and I hope do something to make her feel better.
【答案】1. or→and 2. teaches→taught 3. kindly→kind 4. smiled→smiling 5. 删除the
6. question→questions 7. his→her 8.are→is 9. vivid→vividly 10. hope 后加to
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者因为冒犯老师而导致后悔与歉意。
【详解】1.考查连词。句意：如果时光可以倒转，我要为我的粗鲁无礼向王老师道歉。根据句意可知，my rudeness和offensiveness是并列关系，不是选择关系。故将or改为and。
2.考查时态。句意：王老师教我们语文课。根据文章描述内容可知，作者在回忆之前的事情，故用一般过去时。故将teaches改为taught。
3.考查形容词。句意：她很开朗，也很善良。根据“She was pretty open-hearted ”可知，需用形容词作表语，故将 kindly改为kind。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意：你可以想象一个微笑的年轻女士站在一群调皮捣蛋的青少年面前。a smiling young lady表示“一个面带微笑的年轻女士”，用smiling作定语。故将smiled改为smiling。
5.考查冠词。句意：你可以想象一个微笑的年轻女士站在一群调皮捣蛋的青少年面前。in the front of 表示“某个物体内部的前面”，in front of表示“某个物体外部的前面”，根据句意可知，老师站在学生前面，应用in front of。故删除the。
6.考查名词。句意：一天，我在课堂上问了王老师几个私人的、粗鲁的问题。根据“several”可知，question需用复数形式。故将question改为questions。
7.考查代词。句意：那次不愉快的经历之后，我再也没有上过他的课。根据文章，可知，这里指“Miss Wang”的课，故将his改为her。
8.考查主谓一致。句意：错过她的课是个错误。分析句子结构可知“Missing her classes”是动名词短语作主语，故谓语动词用单数。故将are改为is。
9.考查副词。句意：这段难忘的记忆时不时地出现在我的脑海里，我希望做些什么来弥补它。根据“appears”可知，要用副词作状语修饰动词。故将vivid改为vividly。
10.考查动词不定式。句意：这段难忘的记忆时不时地出现在我的脑海里，我希望做些什么让她感觉好一点。hope to do sth表示“希望做某事”，用动词不定式作宾语。故hope 后加to。

A nine-year-old boy has set a new 5km parkrun world record for his age group. Louis Robinett, a member of the Poole Runners junior athletics club, shaved 13 seconds off the previous world record, which was set in California in 2017, after he crossed the line in 17 minutes and 40 seconds.
Louis, who broke the record at the Poole parkrun in Dorset on Saturday, said, “I’m on top of the world right now. It’s a huge deal to break a world record. I couldn’t have done it without the support of my family and the team at Poole Runners.”
Louis was accompanied on the parkrun by Dion Garner, a member of his athletics club, as all under-11s in the 5km event must run within arm’s length of an adult. Garner said of Louis’s achievement, “His natural talent, combined with his dedication and spirit, is mind-blowing. He loves the sports and has really practiced a lot.” A spokesman for Poole Runners said, “With his new world record, Louis has raised the bar for young athletes everywhere. This isn’t just a win for Louis, it’s a new benchmark (标准) for youth sports, inspiring children all over the world to aim higher.”

Though trees cannot speak verbally, Evan Luchkow, a 32-year-old Canadian filmmaker, made ancient tea trees the protagonists (主角) in his latest film, The Tree Listens, allowing them to “tell” their story about interacting with the locals in Chashu Village, Southwest China’s Chongqing.
When the Canadian stepped into the village, surprises kept coming. The luxuriant local tea trees are so tall that people need ladders to pick their leaves. The harmonious coexistence of people and nature in the village also struck him. “In Canada, the preservation of nature sometimes keeps people separated from it. On our way into this village, I saw lots of houses cradled by these mountains, which was truly surprising, says Luchkow, adding that the view was just like a postcard.
Soon he was able to set the tone for the filming, which depicts a silent dialogue between trees and people. For thousands of years, from generation to generation, the tea trees have been receiving people’s care and protection. “I think if the trees could speak, they might want to deliver their gratitude to the villagers. That’s what I tried to express via the film,” says the director.
In the process of documenting the tea village’s history, Luchkow found that the well-known Canadian coffee brand Tim Hortons had extended its footprint to Chongqing. Wu Ke, one of the many young locals who choose to stay in their hometown to make tea, finds himself gradually fall in love with coffee too. While local Chinese take to coffee nowadays, Luchkow’s friends back in Canada enjoy Chinese tea a lot. “The communication between tea and coffee is like the exchanges between people,” he says.
8. What surprised Luchkow first when entering Chashu Village
A. Chinese tea tree. B. Nice locals. C. Beautiful view. D. Strange nature.
9. What is the content of The Tree Listens
A. Ancient tea trees.
B. Striking legends about Chinese tea.
C Fine relationship between tea trees and locals.
D. Harmonious coexistence between Chinese people and nature.
10. What’s Luchkow’s purpose of making the film
A. To tell the life stories of Chashu villagers.
B. To call on people to live harmoniously with nature.
C. To report how Chinese people work hard to become rich.
D. To convey the ancient tea trees’ gratitude to villagers.
11 What may be talked about in the following paragraph
A. More local people stayed to make tea.
B. Chinese people begin to fall in love with coffee.
C. Canadians are increasingly in love with Chinese tea.
D. More communication happens between Chinese and Canadians.

Supermassive black holes all over the universe are merging (合并), a fate that will eventually come for the black hole at the center of our galaxy (银河系). These magic universal structures at the heart of nearly every galaxy consume light and matter and are impossible to see with traditional telescopes. But now, for the first time, astrophysicists have gathered knowledge directly from these huge universal structures, in the form of gravitational waves that move around through space and time.
Essential to these findings is the detection of complicated gravitational waves, and understanding how they are produced. Any object with mass that is moving causes these waves—invisible bending in time and space that were first theorized by Albert Einstein in 1916 but not detected until roughly 100 years later. In 2015, scientists used the ground-based Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory to detect how short, high-frequency gravitational waves from one merger between less massive black holes move around the Earth by less than the width of a single subatomic particle (亚原子微粒).
The findings help confirm what will one day happen to the supermassive black hole at our galaxy’s center known as Sagittarius A, as it crashes into the black hole at the heart of the Andromeda galaxy. “The Milky Way galaxy is on a crash course with the Andromeda galaxy, and in about 4.5 billion years, the two galaxies are set to merge, said Joseph Simon, a member of Nanograv. That merger, he said, will eventually result in the black hole at the center of Andromeda and Sagittarius A sinking into the center of the newly combined galaxy.
“Before now, we didn’t even know if supermassive black holes merged, and now we have evidence that hundreds of thousands of them are merging, said Chiara Mingarelli, another member of Nanograv.
If scientists understand more about the history of the merging supermassive black holes, it could help know how they form in the first place, said Masha Baryakhtar, a physicist who wasn’t involved in the research.
12. What stopped scientists from studying black holes
A. Black holes were too far away.
B. There were no ways to observe them.
C. Black holes were too supermassive.
D. People did not care to know them more.
13. What is the main topic of Paragraph 2
A. The causes of black holes’ merging.
B. The knowledge of gravitational waves.
C. The function of gravitational waves.
D. Two breakthroughs on black hole study.
14. What may support the evidence mentioned by Chiara
A. The actual detection of gravitational waves.
B. Black holes consuming light and matter.
C. Objects moving with mass cause gravitational waves.
D. The merging of Andromeda and Sagittarius A.
15. What may be the best title of the text
A. Black Hole in Our Galaxy Is on Crash Course
B. Gravitational Waves Were First Detected
C. The End of Universe Goes to Black Holes
D. Black Holes Merge to Form New Worlds

Getting sunburned from the Ultraviolet rays (UV，紫外线), no matter what your age is, is a risk factor for skin cancer. ____16____. And while using sunscreen (防晒霜) whenever you’re spending time in the sun is key among sun safety strategies, other measures matter, too. Here are tips from the sun safety experts on how to keep your skin burn-free and healthy.
Use sunscreen
Only about 19 percent of older men and 32 percent of older women report regularly using sunscreen, according to a 2019 study. But everyone should apply it to exposed skin whenever they’ll be outside, even on cloudy days. While the best sunscreen is one that you’ll use continually, our testing has found that some products perform better than others, even if they’re both marked with the same SPF. Members can find our full ratings at CR. org/sunscreen. ____17____.
Attend to tricky spots
Don’t forget your ears, the tops of your feet, the backs of your hands, and the back of your neck.
____18____
Put sunscreen on 15 minutes before you go outside. Be sure to apply enough—try to use 1 teaspoon for each exposed body part. Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming or sweating.
Double your protection
____19____. So if you’re out for a while, cover up with lightweight long sleeves and pants. You can skip sunscreen on those covered areas. And a wide-brimmed (宽边的) hat is always a good idea to protect your forehead and face.
Get the right sunglasses
You might find it challenging to apply sunscreen very close to your eyes, but these spots are likely to be burned, too. ____20____. Wearing sunglasses can help. Choose a pair labeled with “UV absorption up to 400nm”or a statement that the glasses block 100 percent of UVA and UVB rays.
A. Apply it correctly
B. Apply it thoroughly
C. No sunscreen perfectly blocks the sun’s rays
D. Plus, UV rays can damage the tender parts of your eyes
E. You can enjoy those bright summer days without getting burned
F. Protecting yourself from the sun’s UV rays should be a lifelong habit
G. The experts recommend a broad-range, water-resistant sunscreen of at least 30 SPF
