Every year, usually in November, famous British people go to London for a special award ceremony Pride of Britain Awards. It celebrates Britain's heroes----ordinary people who have shown bravery in a dangerous situation or who have done a lot to help others. When the nation needs a bit of cheering up; maybe we need more people like Dante Marvin.
Dressed in a tiny white suit, Dante was focused on in a wheelchair. He was a pocket rocket of positivity, taken to the stage with a loud “What's up, London?" like a rock star. Dante Marvin told all celebrities present that he would not let a bone disease get in the way of his fund-raising efforts. Despite his own illness, he inspires everyone he meets. He often beams at others and works hard to spread happiness to others as an ambassador for the children's charity, Variety.
Dante, 11, from Liverpool, suffers much more than most. He had 16 broken bones in his mum Rachael's body and was born with fragile bone disease and scoliosis (脊柱侧凸). He has broken 92 bones in his life ----as a sneeze or slap can injure him- and has received 17 separate operations to insert metal chips. Rachael says, “I don't prevent Dante doing anything. He just gets on with it. He hates seeing other children sad. If I take him to the hospital, he is more bothered about the crying children and tries to comfort therm. I am so proud of him. ”
Dante is so grateful for his new yellow wheelchair that has been donated by Variety. He said, “My message to anyone with a disability is ‘don't give up'." He reminds people of his motto----there are no disabilities, just abilities. Presenting Dante with the award----Child of Courage, Jason Manford, a famous comedian, asked if he'd like to be a comedian and Dante told him he never stops laughing.

Many people have become accustomed to saying “bless you" or "gesundheit” when someone sneezes. No one says anything when someone coughs, blows their noses or burps (打嗝)，so why do sneezes get special treatment? What do those phrases actually mean, anyway?
Wishing someone well after he sneezes probably originated thousands of years ago. The Romans would say "Jupiter preserve you!" or “Salve!" which meant “good health to you” and the Greeks would wish each other “long life”. The phrase “God bless you” is due to Pope Gregory the Great, who spoke it out in the sixth century during a bubonic plague epidemic (黑死病) (sneezing is an obvious symptom of one form of the plague).
The alternative term “gesundheit" comes from Germany, and it literally means “health". The idea is that a sneeze typically comes ahead of illness. It entered the English language in the early 20th century, brought to the United States by German-speaking immigrants.
Actually every country around the globe has its own way of wishing sneezers well. People in Arabic countries say “Alhandililah!" which means “praise be to God”. Hindus say "Live!" or "Live well!". Some countries have special sneezing responses for children. In Russia, after children are given the traditional response, "bud zdorov (be healthy)”, they are also told “rosti Bolshoi (grow big)". When a child sneezes in China, he or she will her "bai sui” which means "may you live 100 years".
For the most part, the various responses originated from ancient superstitions (迷信). Some people believe that a sneeze caused the soul to escape the body through the nose. Saying "bless you” would stop the devil from claiming the person’s freed soul. However, some people believed that those evil spirits used the sneeze as an opportunity to enter a person body. There was also the misconception that the heart temporarily stopped during a sneeze (it doesn't), and that saying "bless you" was a way of welcoming the person back to life.
28. What's the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To lead in the topic of the text.
B. To explain the definition of blessing.
C. To introduce the evidence of the text.
D. To tell the cause of saying “bless you”.

29. Why do people say “bless you” to sneezers?
A. To avoid illness.
B. To wish them health.
C. To comfort their family.
D. To get a get well card from others.
30. How does the author state people's ideas in the last paragraph?
A. By raising questions.
B. By analyzing data.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By listing causes.
31. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How “bless you” is introduced into English.
B. Why we wish sneezers health in various ways.
C. How people from various countries avoid sneezers.
D. Why people say the blessing when someone sneezes.

People often think that blue light before bedtime can make it harder to sleep. It's true that the screens on phones, computers and televisions send out plenty of blue light. But if you're focused on blue light as a major problem affecting your sleep or your eye health, it's time to look at it from another aspect.
As Philip Yuhas, a professor of vision, writes at The Conversation, blue light isn’t a uniquely technological evil. It’s part of sunlight, and your eyes are exposed to plenty of it all the time. You're fine. There are studies in mice that have found blue light can damage their eyes, but mice are nocturnal creatures (夜行动物) whose eyes are different from ours. Then pigments (色素) and the lenses (晶状体) of our eyes actually block blue light fairly well----so in a sense, we already have built-in blue blocking protection.
Adding more protection isn't likely to help, though. You can buy glasses and screen filters (滤光片) that block blue light, but Yuhas points out they are probably a waste of money. These products do not block out much blue light. The leading blue-blocking anti-reflective coating, for example, blocks only about 15% of the blue light that screens send out. You could get the same reduction just by holding your phone another inch from your face.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology doesn't recommend blue blocking products, either. Instead, if you’re concerned about your eye health or your ability to get to sleep on time, you already know what to do.
Put the screens away at bedtime. Read a book or find something else to do. While you're using screens, take a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet away (the “20-20-20”rule). If you get dry eyes when you look at screens for a long time, use eye drops labeled artificial tears.

A. It is magical and rare.
B. It is the most part of sunlight.
C. It is harmful to people's skin.

33. What did the studies in paragraph 2 find?
A. Mice can see clearly in the dark.
B. Blue light can damage mice's eyes.
C. Human eyes actually absorb blue light well.
D. Human eyes need extra protection against blue light.
34. What can we know about blue-blocking products according to Yuhas?
A. They block a little blue light.
B. People should buy a better one.
C. They are thought highly of by experts.
D. Most can prevent plenty o[ harmful lights.
35. What could be the best title for the text?
A. What Will Blue Light Affect Actually?
B. Are Blue Light Really from Screens?
C. Does Blue Light Affect People's Health?
D. Why Does Blue Light Make Sleeping Hard?
第二节(共5小题:每小题2 分,满分10分)
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。
Imagine that a close friend ignores you when you arrive at his party. 36.__________ But if you think about the situation differently, you would calm down. Using a particular emotion management strategy called reappraisal, which involves viewing an upsetting event in a positive light, is often effective in contributing to positive outcomes.
37.____________ The research showed that if people believed feelings were malleable (可塑造的)，they used reappraisal more frequently, and in return they had greater emotional heath and life satisfaction
University of Toronto researcher Brett Ford and her colleagues did another study.38__________ The researchers found the youths who believed emotions were controllable used reappraisal more and were less depressed than those who didn’t.
Does accepting our feeling impact our well-being? 39.__________ In one research , the researchers stressed out participants by requiring them to give an impromptu (即兴的) talk. In another research, people kept daily diaries about how they handed stressors (紧张性刺激). In both cases participants who accepted their feelings experienced less negative emotions than people who judged their feelings.
“However, while emotions may be changed with efforts, that doesn't mean they're completely
资阳市高中2017级高考模拟考试英语 10 / 10
