【題目】China is a country on the move—especially around its Lunar New Year holiday. This year, the holiday crush（客流量） promises to be even heavier than before.

Government officials estimate that Chinese people will take to the air, roads and railways 3.62 billion times over a 40-day period around the nation's most important holiday this year as people push their way home for family gatherings or to satisfy their new-found passion for travel.

Getting tickets to all those would-be travelers is adiscountingchallenge that annually tries patience. And it is the railway system that routinely is most unable to cope. Railways are the transport of choice for low-cost long-distance travel, and that's where the ticketing system routinely falls down.

Much of the criticism has, focused on the railway's online purchasing system, which has been unable to keep pace with the huge demand and also failed to stop scalpers（票販子） from ending up with many of the hard-to-find tickets.

While insisting that online sales were the fairest way to get tickets for travelers, railway officials told reporters that the public need to be patient. Efforts were being made to provide online identity checks that would reduce the ticket scalping problems. While officials had little good news for rail passengers, they did manage to bring a few smiles to those traveling by car as the country's extremely expensive highway tolls （通行費） will be free of charge for the period of the official holiday.

【1】Which of the following words can replace the underlined word "discounting" in Paragraph 3?

A. Promising. B. Discouraging. C. Pleasing. D. Rewarding.

【2】According to the text, getting tickets ________ around the official holiday.

A. is just a piece of cake

B. is more costly

C. takes great effort

D. is convenient for travelers

【3】We can learn from the text that ________ around the New Year holiday.

A. there will be 3. 62 billion people going home

B. the railway system will be facing more stress

C. people's complaint .focus on the failure of online purchase

D. not railways but cars are the best choices for traveling

【4】Which of the following can best describe the author's attitude to the railway service?

A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Satisfied D. Worried.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】B

【4】A

【題目】More and more people are taking their iPads to bed with them to surf the web, check facebook or send e-mails before switching off the light. But researchers are warning that the blue light their screens give off can stop users getting a good night’s sleep. That is because this type of light is similar to daylight, convincing the brain that it is still daytime. Blue light prevents the production of a brain chemical called melatonin, which helps us fall asleep. By contrast, light which is more orange or red does not prevent melatonin production, perhaps because our brains recognize it as a cue that the day ends.

Scientists have known for years that staring at screens late in the evening can affect sleep ---- they are television screens, computer screens or mobile phone screens. However, because mobiles and iPads are by nature portable ---- not to say addictive ---- more people are taking them into the bedroom. Users also tend to hold them much closer to their eyes than a computer or television screen.

Researchers are warning that looking at iPad displays for more than two hours leads to lower natural melatonin levels as the devices give off blue light. They say, “Turning off the devices at night is the final solution. But if you have to use these devices at night, dim the display to cut down irritation of the eyes and limit the time you spend on them before bed.”

They wrote in the journal Applied Ergonomics(應(yīng)用人類工程學(xué)) that iPad makers should adjust the spectral power distribution(光譜功率分布) of the devices so that they affect the sleep patterns of users less.

It is not just a good night’s sleep that could be harmed by too much late night screen time. Researchers know that long-term harm to sleep patterns can lead to an increased risk of obesity and even cancers.

【1】Blue light prevents iPad users from sleeping well because ____.

A. it is the same as daylight which keeps people awake

B. it makes the brain more active

C. it is brighter than light that is more orange or red

D. it can help decrease the production of melatonin

【2】The underlined phrase “dim the display” means ____.

A. keep away from the display

B. make the display less bright

C. clean the display carefully

D. turn off the display

【3】 In the last paragraph, the author intends to ____.

A. warn of the seriousness of long-term poor sleep

B. call on researchers to study sleep patterns

C. show the danger of obesity and cancers

D. show how sleep is harmed by using iPads too much

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Scientists are warning that blue light is bad for our health.

B. People should limit the use of electronic devices

C. Using iPads before bed can cause a poor night’s sleep.

D. Looking at screens of iPads increase chances of sleeplessness.
