27、   We humans love to stare into our smart devices. We gaze for hours—about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day—at our computers, smartphones, tablets and televisions. Is all this staring bad for us? It might be, mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.

Blue light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy. While it’s true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances, there’s no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes. But many people still think it is, which is why blue—light—blocking glasses are so popular. So, do the glasses work?

“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye, but there’s no evidence that it may be causing serious damage,” Dr.Rahul Khurana, a clinical spokesman, told Business Insider.

Blue light exposure is nothing new. In fact, the sun is the largest source of blue light. Moreover, blue light is also present in LED light. But if blue light isn’t harmful, then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we’re looking at our screens? The answer is eyestrain(眼疲劳). More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain. And blue light, it seems isn’t the cause. Instead, our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices. So, if eyestrain is the real issue, blue-light-blocking glasses are probably of little use.

【1】What do we know about blue light?

A.It has the shortest wavelength.

B.It’s a kind of nuclear radiation.

C.It consumes a great deal of energy.

D.It may come from electronic devices.

【2】What causes the popularity of blue-light-blocking glasses?

A.Evidence of their benefits to eyes.

B.Widespread use of smart devices.

C.Belief in blue light’s harmful effect.

D.Scientific understanding of blue light.

【3】What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A.Rubbing eyes makes people strained.

B.Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.

C.Blue light may connect with tired eyes.

D.Eye problems are not easy to deal with.

【4】According to the text, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses may be _______.

A.useless B.harmful C.tiring D.beneficial

29、On June 7, 1195, a fiery spinning ball emerged from a dark cloud in the sunny sky close to the London city. An account of this extraordinary moment survives in a chronicle (编年史) between about 1180 and 1199 by Gervase. It would appear that this is the first credible record of ball lightning in England, and much more convincing than the earliest European description, which was believed to be from the 17th century.

Historians discovered the account of what appears to be ball lightning while exploring Gervase’s records of natural events in his chronicle, a treasure of historical details giving insights into medieval culture. They dug through hundreds of pages in Latin and came across this sighting. Gervase’s records of natural events appear within the historical narrative, often with no opening statement, and the account of ball lightning is sandwiched between the events of the changing of kings at that time.

No attempt is made to explain the “marvellous sign” in the sky seen near London. Readers are left to draw their own conclusions. But Gervase appears to have been a sharp-eyed observer and reporter of celestial (天空的) activity. His fanciful description of ball lightning is remarkably similar to modern reports.

For a long time, ball lightning was regarded with skepticism. Although it is now generally accepted as a genuine phenomenon with thousands of reported sightings, there is still no accepted scientific explanation of its origin. Understanding the phenomenon has been blocked by an inability to reproduce the effect convincingly in the lab and partly because of the variations in eyewitness reports. Whatever the case, centuries later, Gervase’s record makes stimulating reading for modern scientists as well as historians.

【1】What’s special about the account of ball lightning by Gervase?

A．It’s the most confusing version.

B．It’s written in different languages.

C．It’s the earliest acknowledged record.

D．It’s the only copy from the 17th Century.

【2】Historians spotted Gervase’s account of ball lightning ______.

A．with ease

B．as planned

C．at the start

D．by accident

【3】It’s difficult to explain the origin of ball lightning mainly because of ______

A．no qualified scientists

B．no accurate reproductions

C．few eyewitness reports

D．little support from historians

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．Scientists Search for Explanations for Ball Lightning

B．Gervase Was Found as The Eyewitness of Ball Lightning

C．Account of First Ball Lightning Sighting Was Uncovered

D．Historians Gain a Breakthrough in a Natural Phenomenon
