In f
19、act, eyestrain surpasses even wrist pain as the top physical complaint among heavy computer users. When peering into the computer screen, the eye“s focusing muscle is at constant tension. Like any muscle, it feels sore when overloaded. And when someone spends a lot of time looking at something close
20、, the eye muscle can get stuck on the near-focus setting and have difficulty relaxing, leaving the person temporarily nearsighted, a condition called accommodative spasm(痉挛) that can last seconds or hours. This is why after looking at a monitor all day, some computer workers complain that their dist
21、ance vision is bluffed when they attempt to drive home. The letters on the screen are not as clearly defined as on a printed page. Take a magnifying glass to your monitor and you“ll see the letters, each made up of pinpoint sources of light, have no sharp edges. But those liquid crystal display (LCD
22、) monitors, like those found on laptop computers, are easier on the eyes because they display sharper images. And studies have shown that when people are working on a computer, their rate of blinking goes down by two-thirds, which can result in dry, stinging eyes. This is especially a problem for co

26、act-lenses wearers.六、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Culture shock is the loss of emotional balance, disorientation(方向障碍), or confusion that a person feels when moving from a familiar environment to an unfamiliar one. When it is a common experience, the degree to which it occurs will vary from one person t
27、o another. Individual personality, previous cross-cultural experience, and language proficiency all affect a person“s ability to interact socially in the new culture. The basic cause of culture shock is the abrupt loss of all that is familiar, leading to a sense of isolation. When an individual ente
28、rs a strange culture, all or most of those familiar signs and hints are removed. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded or good-willed he may be, a series of properties have been knocked from under him. This may be followed by a feeling of frustration and anxiety. People r
29、eact to the frustration in much the same way. First they reject the environment which causes the discomfort: “The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad.“ Another aspect of culture shock is regression(倒退). The home environment suddenly assumes a tremendous importance, and eve
30、rything becomes irrationally glorified. All difficulties and problems are forgotten and only the good things back home are remembered. It usually takes a trip home to bring one back to reality. Common symptoms of culture shock include the following extremes. There are excessive concerns over delays
31、and other minor frustrations; fear of being cheated, robbed or injured; sleeplessness or a desire to sleep more; and a great longing to go home. Underlying all these is the uncomfortable feeling of not really belonging, of being an outsider.（分数：10.00）(1).Culture shock is basically caused by _.（分数：2.
32、00）A.difficulties in using the languageB.being unable to make new friendsC.severe homesickD.being far away from all that is familiar(2).The culture shock suffered varies _.（分数：2.00）A.from person to personB.from country to countryC.in accordance with people“s agesD.in accordance with people“s charact
33、ers(3).The first response a person tend to have when setting foot on a new land is _.（分数：2.00）A.feeling frustratedB.feeling nervousC.the sense of losing something preciousD.the sense of being abandoned(4).A home-coming trip will _.（分数：2.00）A.draw you back to realityB.beautify the hometownC.make you
34、forget the troublesD.help you solve the problems(5).Which is NOT a symptom of culture shock?（分数：2.00）A.Not feeling like sleeping.B.Having fear of being cheated.C.Longing to go back home.D.Having excessive concerns over delays.七、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The fact that blind people can “see“ things usi
35、ng other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color. If they can sense color differences then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciously. Manufacturers have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blu
36、e foods are considered unpleasant, and the cosmetics (化妆品) should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology that now finds application in oeverything from fashion to interior decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dar
37、k blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with passivity and calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive. For primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw as red, the color of blood and rage and the heat tha
38、t came with effort. And green is associated with passive defense and self-preservation. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their physiological associations, also have a direct psychological effect. People exposed to bright red show an increase in heartbeat, and blood pressure; red
39、 is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Because of its exciting connotation(涵义), red was chosen as the signal for danger. But closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alertness and alarm, so fire engines a
40、nd ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead.（分数：10.00）(1).Manufacturers found out that color affects sales _.（分数：2.00）A.by experience over a long period of timeB.by experimenting with different colorsC.by trying out color on bl
41、ind peopleD.by developing the discipline of color psychology(2).Our preferences for certain colors are _.（分数：2.00）A.associated with the time of dayB.dependent on our characterC.linked with our primitive ancestorsD.partly due to psychological factors(3).If people are exposed to bright red, which of t
42、he following things does NOT happen?（分数：2.00）A.They breathe faster.B.They feel afraid.C.Their blood pressure rises.D.Their hearts beat faster.(4).Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Color probably has an effect on us, which we are not conscious of.B.Yell
43、ow fire engines have caused many bad accidents in some advanced communities.C.People exposed to pure blue start to breathe more slowly.D.The psychology of color is of some practical use.(5).Which of the following could be the most suitable title?（分数：2.00）A.The Discipline of Color PsychologyB.Color a
