Every morning now she turns on a special light box for half an hour and sits in front of it to trick her brain into thinking its still enjoying those long summer days. It seems to work.Krentz is not alone. Scientists estimate that 10 million Americans suffer from seasonal depression. Theres never been final conclusion that treatment with very bright lights makes a difference.Until now, in three separate studies published last month, researchers report not only that light treatment works better than a placebo(安慰剂) but that treatment is usually more effective in the early morning than in the evening.Why does light treatment work? No one really knows. “Our research suggests it has something to do with the change of the bodys internal(内部的) clock,” says psychiatrist Dr. Lewey. The body is programmed to start the day with sunrise, he explains, and this gets later as the days get shorter. But why such small changes make some people depressed and not others is a mystery.That hasnt stopped thousands of winter depressive patients from trying to heal themselves. Light boxes for that purpose are available without a doctors prescription(处方). That bothers psychologist Michael Terman. He is worried that the boxes may be tried by patients who suffer from mental illness that cant be treated with light.“You should at least choose a reputable manufacturer. Whatever product you use should give out only visible light, because ultraviolet(紫外线) light damages the eyes. If you are light-sensitive, you may develop a skin problem.” a doctor warned his patient. Though the main drawback is having to sit in front of the light for 30 to 60 minutes in the morning, thats an inconvenience many winter depressive patients can live with.67. What is the probable cause of Krentzs problem?A. Her seasonal change of body weight.B. A strange disease of her nervous system.C. Her poor eyesight in autumn and winter.D. Poor adjustment of her body clock to seasonal changes.68. By saying that Linda Krentz “saw the light”(Line 4, Para. 1), the author means that she “_”.A. learned how to lose weightB. realized what her problem wasC. came to see the importance of lightD. became light-hearted and cheerful69. What is the recent view concerning the treatment of seasonal depression with bright lights?A. Its effect remains to be seen. B. It serves as a kind of placebo.C. It proves to be effective. D. It hardly produces any effects.70. What is psychologist Michael Termans major concern?A. Depressive patients will be addicted to using light boxes.B. Patients may give up light treatment because of inconvenience.C. Light boxes will produce harmful ultraviolet lights.D. Light treatment could be misused by certain mental patients.【答案】67-70、DBCD阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。What makes a person a scientist？Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others？The answer is “NO”It is not what the tools that a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist.You will probably agree that knowing how to use the power is important to a carpenter (木匠)You will probably agree，too，that knowing how to investigate (调查)，how to discover information，is important to everyone.The scientist，however，goes one step further，he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed (确认) by other persons.He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientists knowledge must be exact.There is no room for half right or right just half the time.He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit.What works under one set of conditions sometimes must work under the same conditions at other times.If the conditions are different，any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration (演示) must be explained by the changes in the conditions.This is one reason that investigations are important in science.Albert Einstein，who developed the theory of relativity，arrived at this theory through mathematics.The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations.Einsteins ideas were shown to be correct.A scientist uses many tools for measurements.Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.1What makes a scientist according to the passage?AThe tools he uses.BHis ways of learning.CThe ways he uses his tools.DThe different tools.解析：细节理解题。由第一段“It is not what the tools that a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist.”可知。答案：C2What can we learn from the passage?AThe scientists knowledge is always right under all conditions.BWhen the condition changes，the result of the observation may also change.CCondition makes no difference to scientists.DTheres no point for ordinary people knowing how to investigate.解析：细节理解题。由第二段“If the conditions are different，any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration (演示) must be explained by the changes in the conditions.”可知。答案：B3“The scientist，however，goes one step further，.”the author says this to show _.Athe importance of informationBthe importance of thinkingCthe difference between scientists and ordinary peopleDthe difference between carpenters and people with other jobs解析：句意理解题。上文提到了如何调查，如何发现信息对每个人来说都很重要，下文用however引起转折，说明科学家们应该更进一步，他必须确保问题有合理的答案。故此处的the scientist，however，goes one step further，.用来说明科学家和普通人的不同之处。答案：C4A scientific theory should be one that_.Anot only works under one set of conditions sometimes，but also works under the same conditions at other timesBleaves no room for improvementCdoes not allow any change even under different conditionsDcan be used for many purposes解析：细节理解题。由“What works under one set of conditions sometimes must work under the same conditions at other times.”可知答案。答案：A5What is the main idea of the passage?AScientists are different from ordinary people.BThe theory of relativity.CExactness is the center of science.DExactness and way of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.解析：主旨大意题。本文第一句“What makes a person a scientist？”提出了文章的主题，第一段论述“how a scientist uses these tools makes him a scientist”，第二段论述“The scientists knowledge must be exact”，故D正确。其余各项只是文章中的细节。答案：D，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend（超越） it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, those things that hurt, instruct. It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.41. From the passage, it can be inferred that _.A. everybody has problemsB. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lifeC. life is difficult because our problems bring us painD. people like to complain about their problems42.

The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that _.A. most people feel life is easy B. the writer feels life is easyC. the writer likes to complain about his problemsD. most people complain about how hard their lives are44. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to_.A. encourage them to learnB. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problemC. help them learn to deal with painD. teach them how to respect from problems45. The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct” suggests that _.A. we do not learn from experienceB. we do not learn when we are in painC. pain teaches us important lessonsD. pain cannot be avoided【参考答案】41-45 BDDAC（2020四川卷）假设你是李夏，你的美国笔友Sam来信关心
