If you’ve ever looked at a computer screen for hours on end, you probably know what it feels like when your eyes are tired and your head is tense.
What you are likely experiencing is digital eye strain (劳损). It could also lead to dry eyes. But are screens criminals behind needing glasses? Not necessarily, according to Melanie Schmitt, an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin.
There has been an increase in cases of nearsightedness, but scientists don’t know if screens do the damage. “Several other factors can cause the phenomenon of nearsightedness, one of which is too much time spent indoors. Looking at a screen for too long can cause eye strain, but it doesn’t have any long lasting consequences,” Schmitt says.
A recent study by researchers in Madrid did find that LED lights—those used in screens—contributed to retina (视网膜) damage in the eyes of rats. However, more research is necessary to determine if the same effect occurs in humans.
You’re sure to feel the consequence of not taking screen breaks throughout the day. In order not to have digital eye strain, eye doctors say that you’d better take a 20-second break to look at something 20 feet away every 20 minutes. It also works a little bit if you adjust your computer to remove a glare or use eye drops to keep your eyes wet.
“I always tell patients and parents that come in to see me the importance of getting children outside to play and be exposed in natural lighting,” Schmitt says. “This goes for adults, too. Going outside is an opportunity for the eyes to rest from near-work and look at distance instead.”
24. What will happen if you fix your eyes on a computer screen too long?
A. You’ll feel tired all over. B. You’ll have a bad headache.
C. You’ll suffer from eye injury. D. You’ll lose your eyesight temporarily.
25. In Schmitt’s opinion, which of the following can cause nearsightedness?
A. Staying indoors too long. B. Using LED lights.
C. Taking screen breaks. D. Using eye drops often.
26. What’s the best way to prevent digital eye strain?
A. To keep eyes wet all the time. B. To follow the 20/20/20 rule.
C. To avoid doing much near-work. D. To sit as far from the computer as possible.
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Are Screens Criminals Behind Needing Glasses?
B. A Recent Study on Eye Damages
C. How to Protect Your Eyes Timely?
D. An Increase in Cases of Nearsightedness

A Song of Ice and Fire is a seven-part series of fantasy written for adults. George R. R. Martin writes each chapter from the perspective of a specific character, providing a limited point of view for each section. The reader is able to understand the inner workings of the individual, but the reader is barred from a whole understanding of the text. The world he has created has magic, but there is much more than that. While magic exists, it exists on the edge, and the inner unrest of the characters is much more important.
His work also has a level of realness that is astonishing in a work of fantasy. Characters are imperfect, and many make questionable moral choices. In the end, however, Martin shows that both good and bad happen to both the people of high moral standard and the corrupt. He has made it clear that any character can die at any point, which has led to a lot of heartbreak from readers.
In 2011, A Song of Ice and Fire became a television series titled Game of Thrones. Martin has been closely involved with the production. It has currently run for seven seasons, and viewers anxiously await the eighth season to answer their questions from the season seven finale.
His fans are also waiting for The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring, the next books in the series, to answer the questions Martin and the television show have not yet addressed. Martin, however, has no plans to rush. He has made it clear that he will continue to write the books while working on the television show and writing other novels.
But how will the story continue? What is going to happen in Westeros, and more importantly: when are we going to find out? Martinis skill as a writer has kept readers and viewers spellbound. Many hope he will finish the next book before the next season of the show begins, but no one knows with Martin. He always keeps his readers guessing.
28. One of the characteristics of A Song of Ice and Fire is ________.
A. each chapter is written from a limited point of view
B. magic is the center of the story
C. Martin has made imperfect characters die at any point
D. many characters make astonishing choices
29. What is George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire considered to be?
A. One of his masterworks of fantasy.
B. An unsuccessful screen adaptation.
C. An artistic creation for the TV.
D. One of the best TV programmes.
30. What does the word “address” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. written B. spoken C. solved D. directed
31. How will the ending of the story be?

Punks，Ravers，Mods and Teddy Boys. No，these aren’t some hot new bands，but the names of a number of British youth subcultures from the last 70 years. Youth Club，a UK not-for-profit organization，released a book earlier this year celebrating many different subcultures from throughout Britain’s recent history.
“A catalyst(催化剂)for creativity on the worldwide stage，British youth culture movements from the Teddy Boys of the 1950s to the Grime Scene of the 2000s continue to play a pioneering role in music，fashion and creativity across the globe，” it wrote on its website.
These subcultures were traditionally a way for young people to show their personalities to others. Walking around London in the 1970s would have meant seeing dozens of young “punks”—people dressed in ripped denim，leather jackets，body piercings and with brightly-dyed hair on the streets. And in the 90s，“ravers” were young people who threw all-night parties in abandoned buildings or car parks.
So，what was the reason behind these subcultures?
“On both sides of the Atlantic，more and more young disappointed teenagers were looking for an escape from the boredom and restrictions of society，”wrote Ian Youngs，BBC entertainment reporter. “Unemployment，racial tensions and social changes added fuel to their fires. ”
Youth subcultures have almost disappeared in the West. Some experts believe the reason for this is the instant and low-priced availability of music and clothing in the Internet age. “Fashion and music，they’re much cheaper and they’re much faster today，” Ruth Adams，a culture lecturer at King’s College London told The Guardian.
“When I was a teenager，you had to stick to one type of music or fashion，because it cost more money. Now，it's all a bit vaguer，”she said，believing that it's harder to figure out someone’s personality or music tastes nowadays just by looking at them.
Despite this，Adams believes that today’s young people are still finding their own way to express themselves，but in a more modern way. “It’s certainly happening online，”she said. “It’s a lot easier to use personas(伪装)online just by showcasing certain types of mysterious knowledge. ”
32. What do we know about British youth subcultures?
A. They date back to the 1970s.
B. They were started by Youth Club.
C. They are contemporary culture movements.
D. They were a way for youths to express themselves.
33. What contributed to the appearance of these youth subcultures?
A. The easy access to music and clothing. B. Young people’s desire for freedom and fun.
C. The political pressure young people suffered. D. Young people’s longing for fame and wealth.
高三英语 11 / 11
34. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 6 probably refer to?
A. The faster and cheaper music. B. The instant and low-priced fashion.
C. The disappearance of youth subcultures. D. The availability of music and clothing.
35. Which of the following would Ruth Adams probably agree with?
A. Young people are less willing to express themselves.
B. Young people are less interested in music and fashion.
C. Music and fashion develop too fast for young people to follow.
D. The Internet makes it harder to tell the young’s real personalities.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Speaking in public is most people’s least favorite thing. The reason is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves. ___51___
But stop biting your finger-nails. Public speaking is easy. It’s just plain talking, and you talk all the time. Although I’m basically shy, I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years, and I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent. ____52____ Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Your audience is going to come away with one or two of your main ideas. One or two. Not ten or twenty. ____53____ And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, there’s no way your audience will. ____54____— how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you’re going to close.
When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first. ____55____ A strong close is critical: the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember.
The standard length of a vaudeville (杂耍) act is usually 12 minutes. If all those performers singing and dancing their hearts out couldn’t go on longer without boring the audience, what makes you think you can?
A. Some people are born to be good at making speeches.
B. Anybody who can talk can speak in public.
C. Try to relax yourself before making the speech.
D. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become.
E. If you can’t express in a sentence or two what you intend to get across, then your speech is not focused well enough.
F. When you know where you’re headed, you can choose any route to get there.
G. No matter how long or short your speech is, you’ve got to get your ducks in a row.

That may have been the end of the story, but not of its 55 for me. I realized how fortunate I had been. I had a mother who said, “I think it’s wonderful!” and a father who drove me to hear with “I think it’s 56 .”
Every one of us needs that mother force, from which all 57 flows;and yet the mother force alone is incomplete. It needs the balance of the force that 58 , “Watch. Listen. Review. Improve.”

As is often the case, when people are attending to meetings, having meals or waiting for buses, you can always find them addicted to their phones, completely ignored others.
This is really a common phenomenon in our life. The reason is why phones nowadays can be used for people to play mobile games and kept in touch with friends through QQ and Wechat. Therefore, too much exposure to phones are bad for people in terms of health. Moreover, people involving in phones fail to communicate well with those around us.
As far as I concerned, people should wisely make use of their phones to help with their work and study. Meanwhile, they should also care more to their family and friends rather than phones.

Dear Leslie,
I’m more than glad to receive your letter where you said you would pay a visit to Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in China and asked me for advice. The following are my suggestions:
First, it is convenient for your to travel by subway or take a taxi to the base. Second, it is a good idea that you take a tour in fall, as you may have a chance to watch newly-born baby pandas. At last, do remember to wear walking shoes because the base is large beyond your expectation.
Hope you will have a good time in China. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
