He also found that the key in which the mus

83、可能对某种药物产生耐受性，从而导致对药物上瘾的问题。47题详解】根据上文“Undesired side-effects and toxicities of drugs, especially in the area of new-drug development are unpredictable and often disastrous.(药物的不良副作用和毒性，特别是在新药开发领域，是不可预测的，而且往往是灾难性的)”以及后文“These drugs are either over-the-counter medicine or health nutritional supplements
84、. Patients are convinced that the pills will work wonders inside their bodies. Thats why they usually buy them and take them blindly.(这些药物要么是非处方药，要么是健康营养补充品。病人深信这些药片会在体内产生奇妙的效果。这就是他们经常盲目购买的原因)”可知，上文提到了药物的不良副作用和毒性，后文则提到了容易出现副作用的药物类型，故本句承上启下说明出现药物副作用的时机，且上文中side-effects可对应到E选项中Side-effects。故E选项“当医生建议病
85、人服用药物时，通常会出现药物的副作用”符合语境，故选E。【48题详解】根据上文“In order for a chemical to be considered a safe drug, it must prove safe and its benefits outweigh the risks through experiments.(一种化学品要被认为是安全的药物，就必须通过实验证明它是安全的，而且它的益处要大于它的风险)”以及后文“Drugs are approved only after tests have demonstrated that they are relatively
86、safe when used as directed.(药品只有在试验证明按说明使用时相对安全后，才会被批准)”可知，后文提到药品只有相对安全，可推知本句与上文构成转折，说明没有什么物质是完全安全的，且后文中relatively safe可对应到D选项中completely safe。故D选项“然而，没有一种物质能够是完全安全的”符合语境，故选D。【49题详解】根据上文“Many people suffer ill effects from drugs called side effects, even though they take the drug exactly as directed
87、. The human population contains a great variety of genetic variation, but drugs are tested on just a few thousand people.(许多人受到不良药物副作用的影响，即使他们完全按照指示服药。人类人口中有各种各样的基因变异，但是药物测试的对象只有几千人)”可知，上文提到药物测试的对象只有几千人，可推知本句是在说明上文这一行为的结果，即由于人类各种各样的基因变异导致有些人对于药物的反应是无法预测的，故A选项“当一种药物被数以百万计的人服用后，有些人的反应可能无法预测”符合语境，故选A。【
88、50题详解】根据上文“Even though the drug has been tested. A patient may also acquire a tolerance for a certain drug, which means the patient has to take even larger doses to produce the desired effect.(尽管药物已经测试过了。病人也可能对某种药物产生耐受性，这意味着病人必须服用更大的剂量才能产生预期的效果)”以及后文“Thus the person becomes so dependent on the drug

This will cause great trouble to the patient.(这样一来，患者就会对药物产生依赖性，以至于当药物被拿走后，患者会出现严重的心理和生理障碍。这将给病人带来很大的麻烦)”可知，本句承上启下，说明病人对药物产生耐受性的结果是导致药物上瘾，上文中tolerance可对应到C选项中Tolerance，后文中becomes so dependent on the
90、drug可对应到C选项中addiction。故C选项“耐受性可能导致上瘾”符合语境，故选C。. Summary Writing51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words.

91、oyee or a game lover? Are your eyes dry, watery, blurry, seeing double or sensitive to light? If your answer is a “yes”, you are likely one of many people today who suffer from digital eyestrain, also called computer-vision syndrome. What on earth is this syndrome coming from? What can we do to deal
92、 with this problem?Eyestrain is often related to the amount of exposure to screens, the distance from eyes to screens and the use of multiple screens simultaneously. However, studies have also shown that the blue light produced by digital devices today reaches further into the eyes than other kinds
93、of light. This light actually assists attention during the day but can result in interrupted sleep patterns at night.Years of scientific researches indicate that eyestrain isnt necessarily an unavoidable problem for those who deal with computer work in the daily base. There are ways you can adopt wh
94、ich can overcome the problem considerably. To begin with, your computer screen should be high-resolution (高分辨率), at least 50 centimeters wide diagonally and may require a screen filter to decrease reflections. Also, be aware that “computer glasses”, which cut down glare and blue light，are available.
95、Besides, to reduce your risk for computer-vision syndrome, take frequent breaks during your computer workday. Many workers take only two 15-minute breaks from their computer throughout their day. According to a recent study, eyestrain are significantly reduced when computer workers take four additio
96、nal five-minute “mini-breaks” throughout their workday. Finally, many of us fall into bad habits while using digital screens, which only worsen the effects of eyestrain. While viewing digital screens, many people blink (眨眼) one third less often than they usually do. Place a reminder on your computer
97、 to “blink” so that your eyes dont dry out._【答案】Digital eyestrain is related to the amount of exposure to screens and the distance of the eyes to the screens. Scientists suggest we should use high-resolution screens and try to decrease reflections. Moreover, besides longer breaks, we should take mor
98、e additional mini-breaks. Finally, remind ourselves to blink as much as possible to prevent our eyes from drying out.【解析】【分析】本文为记叙文。文章对 “数码眼疲劳”也被称为“电脑视觉综合症”的症状、原因及如何避免进行了介绍。眼睛疲劳通常与接触屏幕的次数、眼睛与屏幕的距离以及同时使用多个屏幕有关。因为数字设备产生的蓝光导致眼睛干涩、模糊的、对光敏感等。研究发现眼疲劳是可避免的，首先要减少屏幕的反射，此外要经常休息或增加间隔休息时间，最后要提醒自己尽量多眨眼睛，以防眼睛干涩。【
99、详解】本文首先要概括出四段的大意。第一段介绍了什么是“Digital eyestrain”，也叫做“computer-vision syndrome”及其症状。第二段叙述眼睛疲劳的原因，即眼睛疲劳有关的内容，即与“Eyestrain is often related to the amount of exposure to screens, the distance from eyes to screens and the use of multiple screens simultaneously”这是确切的定义，可照搬。第三段和第四段主要叙述了如何避免眼疲劳，即尽量避免反射（try to
100、decrease reflection.），多休息（longer breaks）以及提醒自己多眨眼（remind to blink），以防眼睛干涩(此句要用动词不定式来表示目的)。最后按照大意，用恰当的句式表达出来即可。在用英语句式表达时，要尽可能用自己的话，让句子灵活多变些。但句式一定要符合英语语言的要求，避免运用汉语式的英语。答案如下：Digital eyestrain is related to the amount of exposure to screens and the distance of the eyes to the screens. Scientists suggest
101、 we should use high-resolution screens and try to decrease reflections. Moreover, besides longer breaks, we should take more additional mini-breaks.
