　　高考英语阅读理解【1】

　　It was one of the hottest days of the dry season.We had not seen rain in almost a month.The crops were dying.Cows had stopped giving milk.The streams were long gone back into the earth.If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything.

　　I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year-old son，Billy, walking toward the woods.He was obviously walking with a great effort…trying to be as still as possible.Minutes after he disappeared into the woods，he came running out again，toward the house.

　　Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods.This activity went on for over an hour：walking very carefully to the woods，then running back to the house.Finally, my curiosity got the best of me.I quietly walked out of the house and followed him on his journey.

　　He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked;being very careful not to spill(洒出)the water he held in them.Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them.He had a much greater purpose.As I looked at him secretly, I saw the most amazing site.

　　Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him.But Billy walked right up to them.I almost screamed for him to get away.And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground，obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion，lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hand.

　　I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life.As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground，they were suddenly joined by other drops…and more drops…and more.I looked up at the sky.It was as if God，himself, was crying with pride.

　　Up to 90%of school leavers in major Asian cities are suffering from myopia—short-sightedness，a study suggests.Researchers say the “extraordinary rise’’ in the problem is being caused by students working very hard in school and missing out on outdoor light.

　　Eye experts say that you are short-sighted if your vision is blurred(模糊的)beyond 2m.It is often caused by an elongation(拉抻)of the eyeball that happens when people are young.According to the research，the problem is being caused by a combination of factors—-a commitment to education and lack of outdoor light.

　　Professor Morgan who led this study argues that many children in South East Asia spend long hours studying at school and doing their homework.This in itself puts pressure on the eyes, but exposure to between two and three hours of daylight helps maintain healthy eyes.

　　Cultural factors also seem to play a part.Across many parts of South East Asia children often have a lunchtime nap.According to Professor Morgan they are missing out on natural light to prevent short-sightedness.

　　A big concern is the number of the students suffering from ‘‘high” myopia.One in five of these students could experience severe visual impairment(障碍)and even blindness.These people are at considerable risk—sometimes people are not told about it and are just given more powerful glasses—they need to be warned about the risk and given some self-testing measures so they can get to all ophthalmologist and get some help.

　　For decades，researchers believed there was a strong genetic component to the condition.But this study strongly suggests all alternative view.‘‘Any type of simple genetic explanation just doesn’t fit with that speed of change;gene pools just don’t change in two generations.Whether it’s a purely environmental effect or an environmental effect playing a sensitive genome(基因组)，it really doesn’t matter.The thing that’s changed is not the gene pool—it’s the environment.”

　　29.As is mentioned above，which factor mainly results in students’ myopia in South East Asia?

　　A.Genetic faults of the people. B.Visual impairment and blindness.

　　C.The shortage of outdoor light. D.Lack of research into the problem.

　　30.Which of the following statements do you think agrees with Professor Morgan?

　　A.A lunchtime nap is helpful in reducing myopia.

　　B.Glasses keep myopia from getting even worse.

　　C.It’s necessary to treat myopia with an operation.

　　D.It’s of vital importance to reduce educational pressure.

　　31.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

　　A.Gene remains the main cause of the long-standing problem.

　　B.The environment is to blame for the extraordinary rise in myopia.

　　C.Short-sightedness has nothing to do with changes in gene pools.

　　D.An environmental effect playing a sensitive genome counts.

　　32.What’s the best way to take care of your eyes according to the passage?

　　A.Equip the classroom with better lights. B.Look at the Sun from time to time.

　　C.Do eyes exercise regularly. D.Spend more time in the open air.
