    　　Eye injuries from paintball games have increased among children, even as the protective equipment for the sport has improved, according to a study released yesterday in the journal Pediatrics．

    　　The federal Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated(估计)the number of emergency room visits for eye injuries caused by paintballs at 545 in 2001 and more than 1200 in 2003．More than 40 percent of those injuries were believed to involve children, the study said．

    　　Paintballs are marble-sized gelatin capsules filled with water-soluble paint．They are fired at a speed of up to 300 feet a second, the study said．Being so small, they can fit inside the bones meant to protect the eyes．

    　　The study’s author, Dr．David A．Listman of St．Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx, said paintball shopping centers had generally switched to full face masks(面罩), which have become more effective at protecting the eyes than earlier gear．But most injuries now occur in backyard play, which is more likely to involve teenagers or children．“The injuries being seen are mostly in people who did not wear the proper, or for that matter any, safety equipment,” Dr．Listman said．

    　　“Those injuries can involve permanent(永久性的)damage to sight, ”he said．

    　　Dr．Listman said he believed that paintball guns should be restricted to regulated places．In the absence of such action, parents should limit children’s access to the guns and insist on proper protection．“Paintball guns should be treated with the same respect as any other firearm, ” he said．“These are the only guns that are made to shoot at your friends．”

    (1)

    [　　]

    A．

    B．

    C．

    D．

    equipment

    (3)

    What do you learn from Dr．Listman?

    [　　]

    A．

    Children should not play paintball guns everywhere．

    B．

    Many more children were injured in 2003 than in 2001．

    C．

    The improved equipment is still ineffective for children．

    D．

    Eye injuries from paintballs will finally lead to blindness．

    (4)

    Which of the following might be the proper title for the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Children：How You Should Play Properly

    B．

    Parents：Keep Children Off Paintballs

    C．

    Safety：When Paintball Meets Eyeball

    D．

    Guns：Only Made to Shoot at Your Friends

    答案：1．C;2．D;3．A;4．C;
    解析：

    (1)

    可由第三段推测。

    (2)

    mask同与之对比的gear应属同类事物，即“防护器材”，因此用equipment。

    (3)

    由末段首句可作出判断，“paintball guns”应限制在规定的地方玩耍，即not…everywhere(不是在所有地方都能玩)。

    (4)

    选用的标题应符合本文的着眼点，即“安全”这一主题。

    　　So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species(物种), and that’s just a small part of what probably exists on Earth．With so many plants, animals, fungi, and other organisms covering the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of spider is crawling up your leg or what kind of bird just flew by．

    　　A soon-to-be-launched Website might help．An international team of researchers has announced the creation of a Web－based Encyclopedia of Life(EOL)．The project aims to catalogue every species on Earth in a single, easy-to-use reference guide．

    　　To get the encyclopedia started, the creators will use information from scientific databases that already exist．And eventually, in special sections of the site, nonscientists with specialized knowledge will join．Gardeners, for example, will be able to record the dates that their flowers first bloom each year．Bird-watchers will be able to input which birds they’ve seen and where．The technology for this kind of tool has only recently become available．

    　　As the EOL develops, you might find it useful for school projects．The site will have special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems in their neighborhoods．To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate, scientists will review much of the information added to it．People who visit the site will be able to choose to skip pages that haven’t been reviewed．

    　　Another convenient characteristic of the EOL is that you’ll be able to pick the level of detail you see to match your interests, age, and current knowledge．If you wanted to learn about polar bears for a science class report, for example, you could use the“novice”setting to get basic information about the animals．On the“expert”setting, on the other hand．you could get much more detailed information about the history, literature, and exploration of polar bears．

    　　It now takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species．The creators of the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new tool will speed that process．

    　　Keep an eye on www.eol.org．Pages will begin to go up sometime next year, and you might find them useful for your school reports．The EOL team might have the basics for all 1.8 million entries online as early as 2017．Someday, you might add your own notes．

    　　Watching 3D films such as Avatar could give some viewers headaches, experts have warned．

    　　The success of James Cameron's science-fiction blockbuster(卖座的大片), which has already taken more than ＄1 billion(￡600 million)at the box office, is fuelling a surge in popularity for three-dimensional movies and new 3D television sets．

    　　But prolonged viewing may result in an aching head, according to Dr Michael Rosenberg, an ophthalmology(眼科学)professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago．

    　　He said："There are a lot of people walking around with very minor eye problems, for example a minor muscle imbalance, which under normal circumstances the brain deals with naturally．"

    　　Watching a 3D movie confronts viewers with an entirely new sensory experience．"That translates into greater mental effort, making it easier to get a headache," he said．

    　　Dr Deborah Friedman, a professor of ophthalmology and neurology(神经学)at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, said："If your eyes are a little off to begin with then it's really throwing a whole degree of effort that your brain now needs to exert．This disparity for some people will give them a headache．"

    　　Experts say there are no studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film．

    　　Rick Heineman, a spokesman for RealD, which provides 3D equipment to cinemas, said headaches and nausea were the main reasons 3D technology never took off before．

    　　But he said new digital technology addresses many of the problems that had previously caused sore heads．

    (1)

    What can we learn from what Dr Michael Rosenberg said?

    [　　]

    A．

    A lot of people prefer walking around with very minor eye problems to sitting silently watching 3D films．

    B．

    The brain can deal with very minor eye problems under normal circumstances naturally．

    C．

    A lot of people haven’t got very minor eye problems when viewing films under normal circumstances．

    D．

    People come into very minor eye problems and a minor muscle imbalance when watching 3D films．

    (2)

    What does the underlined word “prolonged” in the 3rd paragraph mean?

    [　　]

    A．

    continuous

    B．

    constant

    C．

    regular

    D．

    long-time

    (3)

    According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

    [　　]

    A．

    It has taken less than ＄1 billion to make the popularity of three-dimensional movies and new 3D television sets．

    B．

    Watching a 3D movie leaves viewers confronted with an entirely new sensory experience．

    C．

    There are studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film．

    D．

    Rick Heineman said that 3D technology would never take off headaches and nausea in future．

    (4)

    What’s the main idea of the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    The expert warns the readers not to watch 3D films because of resulting in an aching head．

    B．

    New digital technology gives viewers headaches and eye problems．

    C．

    The experts are studying how to get rid of many of the problems that have previously caused sore heads．

    D．

    Viewing 3D films may result in some side-effect problems such as headaches．

    　　A few days ago I asked my son's governess(女家庭教师)Julia to come into my study．“Be seated, Julia,”I said, “Let's settle our accounts．I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you're too polite to mention it．Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month…”

    　　“Forty．”

    　　“No, thirty．I made a note of it．I always pay our governess thirty．Well, um, you've been here two months, so…”

    　　“Two months and five days．”

    　　“Exactly two months．I made a special note of it．That means you have sixty dollars coming to you．Take off nine Sundays…you know you didn't work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks．And three holidays…”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but－not a word．

    　　“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars．Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied(从事)only with Dick．Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch．Twelve and seven-nineteen．Take nineteen off…that leaves…hmm…forty one dollars．Correct?”

    　　Julia's left eye reddened with tears welling up．Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but－still not a word．

    　　“Around New Year's Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars．The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but － forget it．When didn't I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect(疏忽), Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten．Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick's shoes．You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it．So, that means five more dollars off．The tenth of January I gave ten dollars．”

    　　“You didn't．” sobbed Julia．

    　　“But I made a note of it．”

    　　“Well…if you say so．”

    　　“Take twenty seven from forty one－that leaves fourteen．”

    　　Both her eyes were filled with tears．Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose．Poor girl!

    　　“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife．Three dollars, nothing more．”

    　　“Really? You see now, and I didn't know that! Take three from fourteen－that leaves eleven．Here's your money, my dear．Three, three, three, one and one．Here it is!”

    　　I handed her eleven dollars．She took them and pocketed them．

    　　“Merci(法语：谢谢),”she whispered．

    　　I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room．I was overcome with anger．“For what, this ‘merci'?” I asked．

    　　“For the money．”

    　　“But you know I've cheated you－robbed you! I have actually stolen from you! Why this ‘merci'?”

    　　“In my other places they didn't give me anything at all．”

    　　“They didn't give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you．．．I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you．．．Is it really possible to be so spineless(懦弱)?Why didn't you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws(爪)－to be such a fool?”

    　　Embarrassed, she smiled．And I could read her expression, “It is possible．”

    　　I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars．She murmured her little “merci” several times and went out．I looked after her and thought, “How easy it is to crush(压榨)the weak in this world !”
