Its part of sunlight, and your eyes are exposed to plenty of it all the time. Youre fine. ” The pigments (色素) and the lenses of our eyes act
61、ually block blue light fairly wellso in a sense, we already have built-in blue-blocking protection. Adding more protection isnt likely to help, though. You can buy glasses and screen filters (过滤器) that block blue light, but Yuhas points out they are probably a waste of money. He says, “The products
62、that my patients ask about do not block out much blue light. ” The leading blue-blocking anti-reflective coating, for example, blocks only about 15% of the blue light that screens give out. You could get the same reduction just by holding your phone another inch from your face. Try it now and see if
63、 you notice a difference. No?

Read a book or find something else to do. While youre using screens, take a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something
65、20 feet away. If you get dry eyes when you look at screens for a long time, use artificial tears. 【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了蓝光并不是影响睡眠或眼睛健康的主要问题, 蓝光可以被我们的眼睛有效地阻挡, 所谓的防蓝光眼镜实际上几乎没有用。同时作者建议使用屏幕时要有规律地休息, 才能保护眼睛。32. What do we know about blue light?A. It produces kinds of pigments. B. It does serious harm to o
66、ur health. C. It can be blocked by our eyes effectively. D. It is a unique product of electronics. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第二段中The pigments and the lenses of our eyes actually block blue light fairly wellso in a sense, we already have built-in blue-blocking protection可知我们眼睛的色素和晶状体实际上相当好地阻挡了蓝光所以从某种意义上说, 我们已经有
67、了内置的防蓝光保护。由此可知, 蓝光可以被我们的眼睛有效地阻挡。故选C。33. What can be learned about blue-blocking glasses from the text?A. They are widely popular. B. They are almost useless. C. They are inaccessible. D. They are reliable. 【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第三段可知, 你可以买到能阻挡蓝光的眼镜和屏幕过滤器, 但Yuhas指出, 这很可能是在浪费钱。他说: “我的病人询问的产品并不能阻挡太多蓝光。”例如, 主要
68、的防蓝光涂层只能阻挡大约15%的蓝光。由此可知, 防蓝光眼镜几乎没用。故选B。34. What does the author suggest readers do?A. Try to wet dry eyes with tears. B. Keep a distance from blue light. C. Stop using screens in the evening. D. Have regular breaks when using screens. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据最后一段可知, 相反, 如果你担心你的眼睛健康或你按时入睡的能力, 你已经知道该怎么做了: 在睡觉时
69、间把屏幕收起来。读一本书或者找点别的事情做。当你使用屏幕时, 每隔20分钟休息20秒, 看看20英尺外的东西。如果你长时间看屏幕眼睛干涩时, 可以使用眼药水。由此可知, 作者建议读者使用屏幕时要定期休息。故选D。35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Does blue light really affect your health?B. Are blue-blocking products recommended?C. Where does blue light actually come from
70、?D. How can we avoid the harm from blue light?【解析】选A。主旨大意题。根据第一段可知, 睡前的蓝光会让人难以入睡, 手机、电脑和电视的屏幕也会发出大量蓝光。这都是真的。但如果你认为蓝光是影响睡眠或眼睛健康的主要问题, 那么是时候改变你的想法了。文章主要说明了蓝光并不是影响睡眠或眼睛健康的主要问题, 蓝光可以被我们的眼睛有效地阻挡, 所谓的防蓝光眼镜实际上几乎没有用。同时作者建议使用屏幕时要定期休息, 才能保护眼睛。由此可知, A选项“蓝光真的影响你的健康吗?”最符合文章标题。第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文,
