Yet, with dark glasses or not, they findthemselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow blindness when exposed to several hours of snow light. The United States army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow blindness in troops in asnow-covered country. Rather, a man’s eyes often find nothing to focus on in a broad space of snow-covered land. So his gaze continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become tired and the eye muscles ache. Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid (液体) which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until it makes eyes difficult to see clearly, and the result is total, even though for a short time, snow blindness.Experiments led the army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts (侦察员) ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead on which they can focus too. The men following can then see something. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to look at, stop searching the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is overcome.34.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The whiteness from snow.B.Snow light and snow blindnessC.The need for dark glassesD.Headaches and watering eyes35.Snow-blindness can be avoided___________.A.by covering the eyeballs withe more and more tearsB.by walking ahead and keep looking aroundC.by making up for the discomfort of one’s eyesD.by providing the eyes with something to focus on36.What is the best title for this passage?A.Snow-blindness:what it is and whom it influenceB.Snow-blindness:what it is and how nature helpsC.Snow-blindness:how it forms and how to solve itD.Snow-blindness:how it forms and whom it hurts37.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.Solving the problem of snow-blindness is important in armyB.Snow-blindness was once a big problem but could be cured easilyC.The glare from snow is considered as the main cause of snow-blindnessD.Armies around the world pay attention to the problems of snow-blindness四、词汇运用1.More and more people use __________(电子的)instead of cash now.2.The government has done a lot to prevent this kind of disease from being ________(传播).3.The man of medium height was charged with __________(偷) a valuable necklace the other day.4.I’m sorry you are _______(完全)wrong.You’ve mistaken Lucy for Lily.5.It won’t be easy to reach an ________(agree) with their company,but we have to try our best.6.The fish will be much _________(taste) if you put some sugar in it.7.There is an old saying, “___________(proud) goes before a fall”.8.It was a great pity that the old man’s _________(serve) to the mountain area were never known by people.五、动词填空1.He didn’t even mention the difficulty he had at that time_________(control)the moving train.2.So far,not only the highways but also the railway___________(connect)the two cities.3.---How was your flight to Hainan?---Couldn’t be worse.We__________(keep) at the airport for five hours.4.If I ________(take) a rest when he comes,please ask him to wait for a while in my office.5.What a great pity it is_________(hear) that so many famous Brazilian footballers died in the air crash onNovember 28,2016.6.Nothing else________(appear)on the screen until I click on it.Look,I’m clicking now.7.---Why were the whole family away from Wuxi last week?---Well,the mother,as well as her sons,__________(try)out for the singing program.8.I’m sure the bag my cousin bought in Shanghai__________(wash) easily.六、任务型阅读Some people believe that greed(贪婪) and selfishness has become the main theme of modern society and we should return to the old traditions of family and community in order to have a better life.In this fast-paced(快节奏的)world,many values are experiencing great changes.While people traditionally caring,sharing and generosity the most important things in life and work,modern people seem to be moreself-centered.Modern people act selfishly to survive the highly competitive world.To survive,you have to fight with whatever ways you can think of.Obviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas.In a company,workers do everything they can to get better pay and higher position,even if it means their workmates will lose a lot because of this.They are not born cold-blooded;it is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way because of outside influences.To be honest,it is hard to say that modern society is build on greed and selfishness,both of which are not newly invented vocabulary.In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things that people in the past faced less pressure compared with the modern environment.Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them?There is no fixed answer either.Some people great pleasure helping and giving to others while others fell happy doing the opposite.But I personally think that people should not be too selfish.Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a win-win relationship.1.若干年后，他真后悔一开始没有采纳他爸爸的建议。
