Question

8．Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce the chance of becoming short-sighted，a research shows．It challenges the belief（信念） that short-sightedness is caused by computer use，watching TV or reading in weak light．
The Australian government researchers believe that the sunlight is good for people's eyes．They compared the vision（視力） and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia．In all，30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted-this rate（比率） was ten times higher than Australian children．
Both groups spend a similar amount（數(shù)量） of time reading，watching television and playing computer games．However the Singaporean children spent an average （平均） of only half an hour a day outdoors-90 minutes less than the Australian children．
Professor Ian Morgan，from the Australian Research Council's vision Centre，said，"Humans are naturally long-sighted，but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors，the number of short-sighted people gets larger．We're also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors．
Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light．But why does playing outside  prevent us from becoming short-sighted？Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical（化學物質） which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted．
So be outdoors．It doesn't matter if that time is spent having a picnic or having sports．

A.30 minutes．
B.60 minutes．
C.90 minutes．
D.120 minutes．
32．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？C

C．There will be fewer risks of getting short-sighted if people spend two or three hours a  day playing outside．
D．When people begin to go to school they will become long-sighted．
33．What is the fifth paragraph mainly about？B
A．Why natural daylight has a special chemical．
B．Why daylight prevents people from becoming short-sighted．
C．Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light．
D．What the special chemical which can stop eyeballs from growing out of shape is．

Answer 1

分析 根據(jù)研究，澳大利亞的兒童在戶外的平均時間是120分鐘．如果人們一天花費兩到三小時在戶外玩，將減少得近視的風險．

解答 31．D 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)However the Singaporean childrenspent an average （平均） of only half an hour a day outdoors-90 minutes less than the Australian children．然而新加坡孩子的平均只有半個小時，比澳大利亞的孩子少90分鐘，故澳大利亞兒童在戶外的平均時間兩小時，故正確答案為D．
32．C 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce the chance of becoming short-sighted，a research shows．可知如果人們一天花費兩到三小時在戶外玩，將會有更少得近視的風險，故選C．
33．B 主旨大意題．通讀本段并據(jù)But why does playing outside  prevent us from becoming short-sighted？可知本段主要是說的日光為什么會避免人們變近視．故選B．
