【解析】
【原文】Welcome to our new show, Colorful Animal Kingdom: a program introducing animals to the young and old. In today’s show, I will talk about how to raise bearded dragons. Bearded dragons originate from the deserts of Australia, and this is one of several species that survive in that climate. Today, beardies like this one are fed here in the US. First, you need to have the right supplies: a cage or something like that, a UV bulb, branches and rocks to climb on and rest on, a food or water dish, and something to line the bottom of the cage. You can even take them outside three times a week in the direct sunlight. Then it comes to the dietary needs of a bearded dragon.They mainly eat insects, vegetables and the leaves of plants. Well, since bearded dragons traditionally live in dry regions, they obtain most of their water naturally from what they eat. You have to be sure to feed them plenty of vegetables that serve as good carriers of water.

The daughter of a romantic poet and occasional freedom fighter, Ada Lovelace had a famous but absent father. She never knew Lord Byron, as just weeks after her birth in 1815, he divorced her mother Isabella Milbanke Byron and left to fight in the Greek War of Independence. In an effort to prevent Ada from developing her father’s unpredictable temper, Isabella decided that her daughter should devote her life to study.
Ada studied hard despite the fact that society did not encourage women pursuing interests in science. Her life changed when she met inventor Charles Babbage at a party. As he demonstrated a working section of his mechanical calculator, Ada was taken in by how it worked and wanted to know more. Impressed by the 17-year-old’s obvious passion, Babbage became her tutor. Ada married in 1835 and became a mother, but she continued to take an active interest in study, socialising in intellectual circles with the likes of Charles Dickens and Michael Faraday.
Ada stayed in contact with Babbage, who in 1837 had proposed a new machine, the analytical engine. In 1843, Ada was asked to translate a French text written by engineer Luigi Menabrea about Babbage’s new design. After completing the translation, Ada was encouraged by Babbage to write her own notes on his work.
After nine months of hard work, Ada presented Babbage with a detailed list of notes that was three times longer than the original article. In her calculations, Ada wrote what are considered the first ever computer algorithms to be used in a new type of machine. She essentially provided the first ideas for computer programming in what was a groundbreaking proposal on the potential of computers.
Ada died of cancer aged only 36 and her work was largely recognised until the 1950s when her notes were republished. In 1979 the US Department of Defence named a programming language ‘Ada’ in her honour.
24. What can we learn about Ada from the first paragraph
A. She had a devoted father. B. Her mother raised her up alone.
C. She had an unpredictable temper. D. Her parents divorced before her birth.
25. Who aroused her interest in mathematics and computer engineering
A. Charles Dickens. B. Michael Faraday.
C. Luigi Menabrea. D. Charles Babbage.
26. Which words can best describe Ada
A. Modest and outgoing. B. Talented and diligent.
C. Generous and considerate. D. Determined and independent.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Ada’s notes were published only once.
B. Ada named a programming language after herself.
C. Ada earned a reputation nearly a century after her death.
D. Ada’s work was largely recognized when she was alive.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了计算机先驱Ada Lovelace的个人经历以及所取得的成就。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“She never knew Lord Byron, as just weeks after her birth in 1815, he divorced her mother Isabella Milbanke Byron and left to fight in the Greek War of Independence.(她从未见过拜伦勋爵，因为1815年她出生几周后，拜伦勋爵就与她的母亲伊莎贝拉·米尔班克·拜伦离婚，参加了希腊独立战争)”可知，Ada从未见过自己的父亲，她是由母亲独自抚养长大的。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Her life changed when she met inventor Charles Babbage at a party. As he demonstrated a working section of his mechanical calculator, Ada was taken in by how it worked and wanted to know more. Impressed by the 17-year-old’s obvious passion, Babbage became her tutor.(当她在一次聚会上遇到发明家查尔斯·巴贝奇时，她的生活发生了变化。当他演示他的机械计算器的工作部分时，艾达被它的工作原理迷住了，想知道更多。巴贝奇被这个17岁女孩明显的热情所打动，成为了她的导师)”可知，是Charles Babbage改变了她的生活，激起了她对数学和计算机工程的兴趣。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Ada studied hard despite the fact that society did not encourage women pursuing interests in science.(尽管社会不鼓励女性追求科学兴趣，艾达还是努力学习)”可知，Ada 在学习上很刻苦，以及第四段中“In her calculations, Ada wrote what are considered the first ever computer algorithms to be used in a new type of machine. She essentially provided the first ideas for computer programming in what was a groundbreaking proposal on the potential of computers.(在她的计算中，艾达写出了被认为是有史以来第一个用于新型机器的计算机算法。她提出了计算机编程的第一个想法，这是一个关于计算机潜力的开创性建议)”可知，她在笔记中提出了计算机编程的第一个想法，是一个关于计算机潜力的开创性建议，说明她极有天赋。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“She never knew Lord Byron, as just weeks after her birth in 1815, he divorced her mother Isabella Milbanke Byron and left to fight in the Greek War of Independence.(她从未见过拜伦勋爵，因为1815年她出生几周后，拜伦勋爵就与她的母亲伊莎贝拉·米尔班克·拜伦离婚，参加了希腊独立战争)”以及最后一段“Ada died of cancer aged only 36 and her work was largely recognised until the 1950s when her notes were republished.(艾达死于癌症，年仅36岁，直到20世纪50年代，她的笔记被重新出版，她的工作才得到广泛认可)”可推知，她出生于1815年，1950年她的笔记被重新出版，也就是她死后快一个世纪的时候，她的贡献才广为人知，选C。
C
Jason, a straight-A student from the University of Pennsylvania, uses the term “pseudo-working” to describe how many of us study. The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard — he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night — but, because of a lack of focus and concentration, he or she’s doesn’t actually accomplish much.
This phenomenon can be seen on most college campuses. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day, and the students I used to see there late at night crowded in groups, drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working. The roommate who flips through her chemistry notes on the couch while watching TV is pseudo-working.
By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours, these students are damaging their brain’s ability to think clearly and efficiently accomplish the task at hand. In the end they get half the results with twice the effort.
The bigger problem here is that most students don’t even realize that they’re pseudo-working. To them pseudo-working is work—it’s how they’ve always done it, and it’s how all of their friends do it. It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way. Straight-A students, on the other hand, know all about pseudo-working. They fear it. It not only wastes time, but it’s also mentally tiring.
In fact, the most important skill in becoming a straight-A student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort. Some cognitive science research concludes that about fifty minutes is the optimal learning period to maximize the material integrated per time unit. So how do these students achieve this goal To understand their secret to success, consider the following simple formula(公式): work accomplished = time spent × intensity of focus.
Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus. Therefore, to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight-A approach on the other hand, increases intensity in order to use less time.
28. Which of the following phenomenon is pseudo-working
A. Tom is busy taking notes while attending a lecture.
B. Mike is sitting at a study lounge in preparation for a final exam quietly.
C. Jack spends a long time in the library on his essay while listening to music.
D. Alice and Sara are sitting on the couch reading their favorite books.
pared with straight-A students, the major problem of most students is that they ________.
A. want to spend more time on study
B. are eager to follow their friends’ way
C. have got used to their study approach
D. are unaware of their pseudo-working
30. What does the underlined word “optimal” mean in paragraph 5
A. Possible. B. Best. C. Least. D. Accurate.
31. What does the author want to stress by mentioning the formula
A. The length of time on study counts.
B. Concentration plays a key role in study.
C. Getting work done quickly means everything.
D. Effective study approach is very important.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了大学中伪工作的普遍现象，并介绍了伪工作者和全优学生的区别。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard — he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night — but, because of a lack of focus and concentration, he or she’s doesn’t actually accomplish much.(伪工作者看起来和感觉都像是一个努力工作的人——他或她在图书馆待很长时间，不怕坚持到深夜——但是，由于缺乏注意力和专注力，他或她实际上并没有取得多大成就。)”可知，伪工作者看似很努力，会花很多时间做事，但缺乏注意力和专注力，效率不高，再结合选项可推测出，杰克在图书馆花大量时间做论文的同时听音乐。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The bigger problem here is that most students don’t even realize that they’re pseudo-working.(这里更大的问题是，大多数学生甚至没有意识到他们是在伪工作。)”可知，与全优学生相比，大多数学生的主要问题是他们没有意识到自己在伪工作。故选D。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段中的“In fact, the most important skill in becoming a straight-A student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort.(事实上，成为一名全优学生最重要的技能是能够以最少的浪费精力快速完成工作。)”可知，全优学生会浪费最少的精力快速完成工作，由此可推测出，他们学习效率很高，会在最少的时间里尽量快速完成工作。根据画线词前的“about fifty minutes”和画线词后的“learning period to maximize the material integrated per time unit”可知，这里表示大约50分钟是最佳的学习时间，能够最大化学习效率，optimal意为“最佳的”，与best意思最接近。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“To understand their secret to success, consider the following simple formula(公式): work accomplished = time spent × intensity of focus.(为了理解他们成功的秘诀，可以考虑以下简单的公式：完成的工作=花费的时间×专注的强度。)”和最后一段中的“The straight-A approach on the other hand, increases intensity in order to use less time.(另一方面，为了使用更少的时间，全有学生会增加注意力集中强度。)”可知，完成的工作=花费的时间×专注的强度，在工作量不变的情况下，要想少花时间，就要增加专注强度，而全优学生就会增加注意力集中强度来减少时间，由此可推测出，作者通过这个公式是想强调专注力在学习中起着重要作用。故选B。
D
The sales pitches tempt: Blue-light-blocking glasses are supposed to protect eyes from the effects of short-wavelength light emitting from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Given how much time we spend on our devices, this sounds like a smart investment, right After all, eye strain is a real issue and can lead to poor sleep and even eye diseases. The glasses can cost $15 all the way up to several hundred dollars. But do they work
Elizabeth Esparaz an ophthalmologist (眼科专家) based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that manufacturers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing. For starters, blue light is not just about tech devices, and it’s not always bad. “The sun emits a much higher intensity of blue light than human-made devices, of course, and it’s actually beneficial,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood, alertness and sleep-wake cycle.
The problem is blue light at night: It contains the release of melatonin. “Melatonin helps regulate our circadian rhythms (生理节奏) and makes us sleepy,” says Dr. Esparaz.
So, in theory, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a tablet at night avoid sleeplessness. A 2021 review study from the University of Oklahoma that looked at 24 previous studies found that people affected by sleep disorders, jet lag and shift work fell asleep faster after using these glasses.
As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. And a 2018 review study, also by Australian researchers, found insufficient evidence that they prevent certain eye diseases.
“These glasses aren’t going to be harmful,” says Dr. Esparaz, But, she adds, a lack of standardization in the industry means there’s no way to know if one pair is better than another. A more reliable solution: Turn on the blue-light-filtering function on your devices and limit screen time before bed. To help with eye strain, Dr. Esparaz suggests taking breaks and using lubricating eye drops.
32. What is Dr. Esparaz’s attitude toward business publicity
A. Unclear. B. indifferent. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
33. What can we learn about blue light from the first two paragraphs
A. It can be beneficial. B. It may facilitate sleep.
C. It actually causes health issues. D. It merely comes from digital devices.
34. Australian studies found that wearing blue-light-blocking glasses_________.
A. helps prevent eye disease B. are not harmful to eyesight
C. contributes to no less eye strain D. benefits those with sleep disorders
35. What might be the best title of this passage
A. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Your Best Choice
B. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Good or Bad
C. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: A Good Business
D. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Smart and Cool
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过提出问题—分析问题—提出解决方案的方式解答了蓝光眼镜是否能够起作用，并给出具体应对措施。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Elizabeth Esparaz, an ophthalmologist (眼科专家) based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that manufacturers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing. (总部位于俄亥俄州克利夫兰市的眼科医生伊丽莎白·埃斯帕拉兹说，制造商在推广这些眼镜时所分享的科学知识可能会让人感到困惑)”可知，商家宣传的理论是受到质疑的。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““The sun emits a much higher intensity of blue light than human-made devices, of course, and it’s actually beneficial,” says Dr. Esparaz (“当然，太阳发出的蓝光强度比人造设备要强得多，而且它实际上是有益的，”埃斯帕拉兹博士说)”可知，太阳散发出的蓝光是有益的。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段 “As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. (至于眼睛疲劳，2021年澳大利亚的一项研究表明，戴眼镜的人并不比戴透明眼镜的人经历的眼睛疲劳小)”可知，戴蓝光眼镜并不会减少眼疲劳。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The sales pitches tempt: Blue-light-blocking glasses are supposed to protect eyes from the effects of short-wavelength light emitting from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Given how much time we spend on our devices, this sounds like a smart investment, right After all, eye strain is a real issue and can lead to poor sleep and even eye diseases. The glasses can cost $15 all the way up to several hundred dollars. But do they work (销售宣传很诱人：防蓝光眼镜应该可以保护眼睛免受智能手机、电脑屏幕和LED灯发出的短波光的影响。考虑到我们在设备上花费的时间，这听起来是一项明智的投资，对吧？毕竟，眼睛疲劳是一个真正的问题，它会导致睡眠不佳甚至眼疾。这种眼镜的价格从15美元到几百美元不等。但它们真的有效吗？)”以及下文内容可知，文章通过提出问题-分析问题-提出解决方案的方式解答了蓝光眼镜是否能够起作用，并给出具体应对措施。由此可知，文章谈论了蓝光眼镜好坏的问题，所以文章最好的标题应是：蓝光眼镜：好还是坏。故选B。

What Adolescents Are Doing in Their Free Time
Recently, a survey has been conducted among students in our school to find out what adolescents are doing in their free time. The results are as follows.
On average, the respondents spend 45% of their leisure time behind screens. By contrast, exercise and in-person socializing take up 12.5% and 11.3% of their time respectively. The survey reveals that adolescents are prioritizing screen time over exercise and other activities by a considerable margin, which could be detrimental to their health.
From my perspective, we students should cut down on screen time and get involved in a wider variety of leisure activities. Only in this way can we live a healthier and more fulfilling life.

In a small town, there lived a young girl named Emily. She had a deep passion for table tennis and dreamed of becoming a professional player. Despite her young age, she was determined to work hard and make her dream come true.
From the moment when Emily picked up a table tennis paddle, she was impressed by the sport. She spent every spare moment practicing her shots, focusing on her footwork and mastering different techniques. Each time she stepped on the court, she was eager to improve and pushed herself to the limit. Unluckily, Emily faced a visual impairment (缺陷) that threatened to slow her progress. She was born with a condition that affected her sight. Some people doubted her ability to play table tennis and said, “Emily, your impairment is a disadvantage. It is impossible to play table tennis well!”
But Emily refused to let their doubts consume her. With solid determination, Emily turned her impairment into strength. She used her other heightened senses to her advantage, relying on touch and sound to anticipate her opponents’ moves. While others relied on sight, she developed an incredible sense of intuition (直觉) and strategy.
Emily finally excelled in table tennis, achieving incredible milestones and representing her town in many competitions. She became an advocate of the sport in her town. However, Emily decided not to settle for winning in her comfort zone but to challenge for something higher. She joined a training team guided by a world-class coach, which brought together the world’s top table tennis players.
In the training team, Emily went through a series of trials. She carried out high-intensity training. She needed to improve not only the batting skills but also perseverance and the sense of teamwork. Her coach often encouraged her and said, “Anyone, regardless of ability, could find success.”
A few years later, Emily’s efforts paid off. She got her chance. As a member of the national team, she took part in an important international competition. That was the stage for her to show her skills, and it was also the important moment for her to realize her dream.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

【答案】参考范文:
In the competition, Emily found herself facing a strong opponent, Lily. Lily was known for her exceptional skills and had won numerous championships. It was intimidating, but Emily never backed down. Many viewers thought Emily was no match for Lily. As the match began, Emily gathered all her energy and put her training to the test. With each precise shot and swift movements, Emily surprised everyone, including Lily. It was a fierce battle. Finally, with a powerful serve, Emily sent the ball flying across the table. It grazed the edge and landed on the opponent’s side, securing her victory.
After the competition, Emily’s story spread throughout the table tennis community. She became an inspiration to other players, especially those born with defects. More and more players joined the team where she was training. And her coach was proud of her. When training new students, he always used Emily as a good example. “Emily’s story teaches us that limitations can serve as a stepping stone to greatness. It reminds us not to let others define our potential. With a resilient spirit, we can achieve anything we set our hearts on, just like Emily did in the world of table tennis.”

The best places for wild sleeping in England and Wales
Challacombe Meadows, Devon
Best for: privacy
Challacombe Meadows is close to miles of walking trails near Widecombe. Basic toilet facilities and running water are a short walk away, and there’s a cosy pub and a farm shop also nearby, for when it’s time to return to civilization. Tents from 45 per tent.
Bush Farm, Cornwall
Best for: freedom of choice
At Bush Farm, campers are offered the freedom of choice. Map in hand, you can put up your tent wherever you please. Days can be spent wild swimming, wandering through the countryside and, come the evening, there’s star gazing beneath ink-black skies. Tents from 12 per person.
The Wildman Woods, Carmarthenshire
Best for: life on the riverbanks
At this little-known site, you can put your tent on the banks of the River Sawdde. The Wildman Woods are as simple as they sound, with leafy pitches scattered among the trees near the water. During the day, it’s the perfect place for a paddle. Tents from 10 per person.
Penrhos Isaf Bothy, Gwyned

The daughter of a romantic poet and occasional freedom fighter, Ada Lovelace had a famous but absent father. She never knew Lord Byron, as just weeks after her birth in 1815, he divorced her mother Isabella Milbanke Byron and left to fight in the Greek War of Independence. In an effort to prevent Ada from developing her father’s unpredictable temper, Isabella decided that her daughter should devote her life to study.
Ada studied hard despite the fact that society did not encourage women pursuing interests in science. Her life changed when she met inventor Charles Babbage at a party. As he demonstrated a working section of his mechanical calculator, Ada was taken in by how it worked and wanted to know more. Impressed by the 17-year-old’s obvious passion, Babbage became her tutor. Ada married in 1835 and became a mother, but she continued to take an active interest in study, socialising in intellectual circles with the likes of Charles Dickens and Michael Faraday.
Ada stayed in contact with Babbage, who in 1837 had proposed a new machine, the analytical engine. In 1843, Ada was asked to translate a French text written by engineer Luigi Menabrea about Babbage’s new design. After completing the translation, Ada was encouraged by Babbage to write her own notes on his work.
After nine months of hard work, Ada presented Babbage with a detailed list of notes that was three times longer than the original article. In her calculations, Ada wrote what are considered the first ever computer algorithms to be used in a new type of machine. She essentially provided the first ideas for computer programming in what was a groundbreaking proposal on the potential of computers.
Ada died of cancer aged only 36 and her work was largely recognised until the 1950s when her notes were republished. In 1979 the US Department of Defence named a programming language ‘Ada’ in her honour.
24. What can we learn about Ada from the first paragraph
A. She had a devoted father. B. Her mother raised her up alone.
C. She had an unpredictable temper. D. Her parents divorced before her birth.
25 Who aroused her interest in mathematics and computer engineering
A. Charles Dickens. B. Michael Faraday.
C. Luigi Menabrea. D. Charles Babbage.
26. Which words can best describe Ada
A. Modest and outgoing. B. Talented and diligent.
C. Generous and considerate. D. Determined and independent.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Ada’s notes were published only once.
B. Ada named a programming language after herself.
C. Ada earned a reputation nearly a century after her death.
D. Ada’s work was largely recognized when she was alive.
C
Jason, a straight-A student from the University of Pennsylvania, uses the term “pseudo-working” to describe how many of us study. The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard — he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night — but, because of a lack of focus and concentration, he or she’s doesn’t actually accomplish much.
This phenomenon can be seen on most college campuses. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day, and the students I used to see there late at night crowded in groups, drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working. The roommate who flips through her chemistry notes on the couch while watching TV is pseudo-working.
By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours, these students are damaging their brain’s ability to think clearly and efficiently accomplish the task at hand. In the end they get half the results with twice the effort.
The bigger problem here is that most students don’t even realize that they’re pseudo-working. To them pseudo-working is work—it’s how they’ve always done it, and it’s how all of their friends do it. It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way. Straight-A students, on the other hand, know all about pseudo-working. They fear it. It not only wastes time, but it’s also mentally tiring.
In fact, the most important skill in becoming a straight-A student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort. Some cognitive science research concludes that about fifty minutes is the optimal learning period to maximize the material integrated per time unit. So how do these students achieve this goal To understand their secret to success, consider the following simple formula(公式): work accomplished = time spent × intensity of focus.
Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus. Therefore, to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight-A approach on the other hand, increases intensity in order to use less time.
28. Which of the following phenomenon is pseudo-working
A. Tom is busy taking notes while attending a lecture.
B. Mike is sitting at a study lounge in preparation for a final exam quietly.
C. Jack spends a long time in the library on his essay while listening to music.
D. Alice and Sara are sitting on the couch reading their favorite books.
pared with straight-A students, the major problem of most students is that they ________.
A. want to spend more time on study
B. are eager to follow their friends’ way
C. have got used to their study approach
D. are unaware of their pseudo-working
30. What does the underlined word “optimal” mean in paragraph 5
A. Possible. B. Best. C. Least. D. Accurate.
31. What does the author want to stress by mentioning the formula
A. The length of time on study counts.
B. Concentration plays a key role in study.
C. Getting work done quickly means everything.
D. Effective study approach is very important.
D
The sales pitches tempt: Blue-light-blocking glasses are supposed to protect eyes from the effects of short-wavelength light emitting from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Given how much time we spend on our devices, this sounds like a smart investment, right After all, eye strain is a real issue and can lead to poor sleep and even eye diseases. The glasses can cost $15 all the way up to several hundred dollars. But do they work
Elizabeth Esparaz, an ophthalmologist (眼科专家) based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that manufacturers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing. For starters, blue light is not just about tech devices, and it’s not always bad. “The sun emits a much higher intensity of blue light than human-made devices, of course, and it’s actually beneficial,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood, alertness and sleep-wake cycle.
The problem is blue light at night: It contains the release of melatonin. “Melatonin helps regulate our circadian rhythms (生理节奏) and makes us sleepy,” says Dr. Esparaz.
So, in theory, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a tablet at night avoid sleeplessness. A 2021 review study from the University of Oklahoma that looked at 24 previous studies found that people affected by sleep disorders, jet lag and shift work fell asleep faster after using these glasses.
As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. And a 2018 review study, also by Australian researchers, found insufficient evidence that they prevent certain eye diseases.
“These glasses aren’t going to be harmful,” says Dr. Esparaz, But, she adds, a lack of standardization in the industry means there’s no way to know if one pair is better than another. A more reliable solution: Turn on the blue-light-filtering function on your devices and limit screen time before bed. To help with eye strain, Dr. Esparaz suggests taking breaks and using lubricating eye drops.
32. What is Dr. Esparaz’s attitude toward business publicity
A. Unclear. B. indifferent. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
33. What can we learn about blue light from the first two paragraphs
A. It can be beneficial. B. It may facilitate sleep.
C. It actually causes health issues. D. It merely comes from digital devices.
34. Australian studies found that wearing blue-light-blocking glasses_________.
A. helps prevent eye disease B. are not harmful to eyesight
C contributes to no less eye strain D. benefits those with sleep disorders
35. What might be the best title of this passage
A. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Your Best Choice
B. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Good or Bad
C. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: A Good Business
D. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Smart and Cool

In a small town, there lived a young girl named Emily. She had a deep passion for table tennis and dreamed of becoming a professional player. Despite her young age, she was determined to work hard and make her dream come true.
From the moment when Emily picked up a table tennis paddle, she was impressed by the sport. She spent every spare moment practicing her shots, focusing on her footwork and mastering different techniques. Each time she stepped on the court, she was eager to improve and pushed herself to the limit. Unluckily, Emily faced a visual impairment (缺陷) that threatened to slow her progress. She was born with a condition that affected her sight. Some people doubted her ability to play table tennis and said, “Emily, your impairment is a disadvantage. It is impossible to play table tennis well!”
But Emily refused to let their doubts consume her. With solid determination, Emily turned her impairment into strength. She used her other heightened senses to her advantage, relying on touch and sound to anticipate her opponents’ moves. While others relied on sight, she developed an incredible sense of intuition (直觉) and strategy.
Emily finally excelled in table tennis, achieving incredible milestones and representing her town in many competitions. She became an advocate of the sport in her town. However, Emily decided not to settle for winning in her comfort zone but to challenge for something higher. She joined a training team guided by a world-class coach, which brought together the world’s top table tennis players.
In the training team, Emily went through a series of trials. She carried out high-intensity training. She needed to improve not only the batting skills but also perseverance and the sense of teamwork. Her coach often encouraged her and said, “Anyone, regardless of ability, could find success.”
A few years later, Emily’s efforts paid off. She got her chance. As a member of the national team, she took part in an important international competition. That was the stage for her to show her skills, and it was also the important moment for her to realize her dream.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In the competition, Emily found herself facing a strong opponent, Lily.
