Passage 1
When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly
that we realize how important our eyes are.




People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else
seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become
near-sighted. Then people who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things
that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want
to do much reading ,they must get glasses, too.




Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is
called astigmatism (
散光
). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy
because of cataracts (
白内障
). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to
operate on the cataracts and remove them.




Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly
different angle (
角度
). To prove this to yourself, look at an object our of one eye; then look at the same
o
bject out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around
it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an
object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.
1. We should take good care of our eyes




.



A. only when we can see well



B. only when we cannot see perfectly

Passage 2
In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries (
神秘的事物
) of nature.
Some ancient peoples believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons (
武器
) of the gods.
In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6
kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs (
灯泡
).




The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection
between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (
避雷针
).
This device (
装置物
) protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.




Modern science has discovered that one stroke (
闪击
) of lightning has a voltage (
电压
) of more than
15 million volts (
伏特
). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers,
and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.




Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the
Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an
average (
平均数
) of one person every day.




The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low
ground and not get under tress. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a
house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.
With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry?
1. People once thought lightning came from ________.
A. the sky




B. the gods




C. the earth




D. nature
2. According to the passage what do you think all buildings need?
A. Metal fences. B. Electricity. C. lightning rods. D. Machines.
3. Lightning can travel ________.
A. as quickly as water




B. not so quickly as electricity
C. at very low speed





D. at very high speed
4. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. In the U.S about one person per day dies from lightning.
B. The Empire State Building frequently gets hit by lightning.
C. Swimming during a thunder storm is a good idea.
D. A closed car is the best place to be during an electrical storm.
5. Lightning is probably ______ to man.
A. useful




B. kind




C. useless




D. friendly

in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930’s
and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures
：

detailed(
详细的
