Section B

Passage One

There are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have glasses inappropriate for their eyes.

We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. However, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight.

Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another. There are close to one million nerve fibres that connect the eyeball to the brain, as of yet it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some day a full transplant may be possible.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26.? What does the speaker want to tell us about eyesight?

27.? What do studies about wearing the wrong glasses show?

28.? What do we learn about eye transplanting from the talk????

篇章類型及提要:論證文

聽力點(diǎn)睛:

本文主要介紹關(guān)于糾正一些對眼鏡及視力的常識的錯誤認(rèn)識。注意文章首句"There are many commonly held beliefsabout eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts." 通常這種文章首句就是主旨句。這是做聽力短文題必須要高度關(guān)注的。接下去可以推測下面內(nèi)容必然圍繞主題句展開,通過舉例等來論證作者要表明的觀點(diǎn)。所以聽的時候也要高度專注那些關(guān)鍵詞句,如for instance, however, but, evidence, although, Studies show that...這些關(guān)鍵詞句后面的內(nèi)容是聽力??嫉牡胤?。最后文章給出一個總結(jié)句呼吁人們破除固有的一些認(rèn)識,去更多了解我們的眼睛,頭尾呼應(yīng)。

精剖細(xì)析:

26.??? What does the speaker want to tell us about eyesight?

解析:從"eyesight" 可以把答案定位于第一段,關(guān)鍵詞有"weakens the eyes" "loss of vision". 注意題目中是問speaker要告訴我們的,所以不要被some people believe...誤導(dǎo),看清題目要問什么很重要。

27.??? What do studies about wearing the wrong glasses show?

解析:本題關(guān)鍵詞是"studies" "wearing the wrong glasses". 文章中作者很明顯地給出了"Studies show that for adults..." 因此了解這個后面的內(nèi)容,做出本題難度不大。

28.??? What do we learn about eye transplanting from the talk???

解析:本題關(guān)鍵詞"eye transplanting",迅速定位于聽力后面部分。
