41、y held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can
42、 prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have glasses inappropriate for their eyes.We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eyesight, but t
43、hat is untrue. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. However, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight.Another my
44、th about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another. They are close to one million nerve fibers(纤维) that connect the eyeball to the brain, so it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. But if we keep clearing
45、up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some day a full transplant may be possible.64. If a child wears appropriate glasses, _.A. the structure of his eyes will keep the same as before B. it is harmfulC. the structure of his eyes will be changed D. he will lose sight65.

46、propriate glasses, _.A. his eyes will be weakenedB. he will suffer a lot from the loss of visionC. it will make no difference to his eyes D. the structure of his eyes will be changed66.

47、ant the whole eye in a new person C. still cant do eye transplant even certain parts of the eyeD. know almost nothing about eyes67. The author of the passage tends to _. A. explain wearing glasses is no harm to childrenB. correct peoples wrong beliefs about eyes C. explain the importance of protecti
48、ng our eyesD. imagine what doctors can do with the eye in the futureDTeen models are not difficult to find. An online agency features both models young as well as older. Those who are looking for child models to show off their products and make them look better can find what they are looking for by
49、hiring children models from these online modeling agencies. This is less expensive than trying to go through large modeling agencies that often cost thousands of dollars for the client(客户). Many of those who are selling childrens products and have websites for parents and children are looking for te
50、en models. As a result, there is more of a need for young models to participate in the field of modeling. The best way for clients to hire models that will not end up costing them a fortune is to use an online modeling site. An online modeling site will have portfolios(档案)of models young as well as
51、old. Someone who is looking for teen models can find a variety of different children when they take a look at these sites. Online teen models usually work for less money than offline models, although they are still paid well enough to make it worth their while to model. Clients who are looking for y
52、oung models can go on an online modeling agency to look for portfolios of the teens that they will want to use in their advertising campaigns. Parents or guardians must agree to the modeling offers and the agency will act as a go-between for both the teen models as well as the clients who are lookin
53、g for young models. Clients can look through portfolios for the young models and get the ones that are right for what they are looking for to advertise for them. It is now affordable for anyone to hire teen models when using an online modeling agency site. Parents of young models can also use these
54、sites to get their teens a chance to get a head start in the world of modeling.68. What is the main advantage of online modeling agencies? A. They can help the clients to train teen models in a short time. B. They can offer teen models that cost clients less money. C. They can make the products look
55、 much better. D. They can advertise for the clients and cost them less money.69. To hire teen models, the clients are advised to .

56、t of .A. looking for teen models B. judging good teen modelsC. hiring good teen models D. working as a middleman 71. The online modeling sites can offer teen models a good chance to . A. beat the other models B. become famous in the future C. make a lot of money for future use D. have an advantage f
57、rom the beginning EDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture. For example, some might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). I
58、t was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!” This guys a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. Hes really a big loser! He didnt say anything that was false, but he left
59、 out important information on purpose. Thats called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest. Some politicians often use this trick. Lets say that during Governor Smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks
60、 another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, “During Governor Smiths term, the state lost one million jobs!” Thats true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smiths term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.” Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. Its agains
61、t the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company. This kin
62、d of deception happens too often. Its a sad fact of life Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.72. How much did the lottery winner lose? A. Two hundred dollars. B. One hundred dollars. C. Three hundred dollars. D. Four hundred dollars.73. We may infer that the author believes people
63、 should _. A. buy lottery tickets B. make use of half-truths C. not take anything at face value D. not trust the Yucky Company74. What do the underline words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. final increase B. big advantage C. large share D. total saving 75. What can we know from the example of the
64、 Yucky Pill advertisement? A. False statements are easy to see through. B. Advertisements are based on facts. C. Doctors like to act in advertisements. D. Half-truths are often used to mislead people. 第四节:写作(共两个写作任务,满分35分) 写作一(满分l5分) 请结合材料,按要求用英文写作。According to some surveys, when students need to fi

68、ey need. Students find it convenient to surf the Internet for useful information. As a result, its likely that students will lose interest in studying, which is not beneficial to their own thinking. So measures must be taken to solve the problem. Firstly, it is vital that students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities while doing tasks. Besides, what teachers and parents should do is encourage students to be creative. Finally, doing tasks independently is of great significance.
