SectionC
PassageOne
46.答案：C)Spendingmorethanninehoursonadigitaldeviceperdaycouldhurtthehealthofeyesseriously.
點睛解析：第一段落的意思是「接近1/4的千禧代和1/3的X代人，每天至少花費九小時在數字設備上；如果你是其中一種，那麼你很可能正在把你的眼睛健康置於嚴重危險中」。比例的大小並不能說明千禧代比X代有眼睛健康危險的可能性低，也不能說明有眼睛健康危險的人數更少，更不能說明，這兩個年代以外的人都沒有眼睛健康危險，選項A、B、D錯誤。每天花費在數字設備上的時間超過九小時會嚴重傷害眼睛健康，選項C正確。
47.答案：A)Gazingataglowingdisplayforalongtime.
點睛解析：此題問的是造成數字視疲勞的主要原因，關鍵詞在primary。第三段落正是解釋了幾個原因，第一句中crux一詞表示「關鍵，核心」，與primary一詞意思相近，可知正確答案為長時間凝視發光顯示器，即選項A。
48.答案：D)Angryeyesandblurryvision.
點睛解析：第四段落分析了digitaleyestrain的幾種癥狀，一一對照即可得知哪種說法是錯誤的。要注意，此處watery並不表示「水汪汪」，而是「流淚」的意思，irritated也並不表示「惱怒」，而是「不適，刺激」的意思，所以正確答案為D。
49.答案：B)Havingafrequentbreakfromyourdisplay.
點睛解析：此題問的是如何避免數字視疲勞。第五段落和第六段落給出了方法。第五段落第一句話即給出了最簡單的方法：經常從電腦屏幕上移開視線休息一會。此處break表示「休息」的意思，選項B正確。選項A，弄壞電腦屏幕的說法明顯錯誤；選項C，正確說法是每20分鐘，向20英尺外看20秒鐘，並不是在20秒鐘內步行20英尺；從文中可知，能避免數字視疲勞的方法是每小時休息五分鐘，設置鬧鐘是為了提醒自己這樣休息，而設置鬧鐘本身並不是避免視力疲勞的方法，選項D錯誤。
50.答案：B)Toavoiddigitaleyestrain,weshouldstepawayfromthescreenasmuchaswecould.
點睛解析：選項B是對第五段落的總結，即要避免數字視疲勞，要盡我們所能地多多遠離屏幕。選項A的信息出現在第三段落的最後一句，注意原文中並沒有提到damage是irrecoverable的，選項A錯誤；選項C和D的信息都出現在最後一段，根據原文，周圍的光線和屏幕的亮度對視力疲勞會有影響，應使他們保持一致，選項C錯誤原文中關於眼鏡鏡片的說法，只是說能help，並沒有說能cure，屬於偷換概念，選項D錯誤。
PassageTwo
51.答案：D)Ourbodylanguagewilltellourrealemotion.
點睛解析：題干中已經明確此題的出題點在第二段落。第一句即表明，識別謊言，不僅僅要聽人們說什麼，也要看做什麼，選項A、B錯誤；接下來，研究指出，在所有文化中，人們有七種相同的面部表情，而不是面部特徵，選項C錯誤；最後一句表明，即使我們想要隱藏一種情感時，這種感情也會通過我們的面部或肢體語言表現出來，選項D正確。
52.答案：A)Theyhaveaninstinctskilltoreadpeople.
點睛解析：此題的出題點在elementaryagekids。第三段落一開始即說明小學齡孩子天生就有讀懂他人的能力，選項A正確。選項B說法不完整，原文中提到的是，孩子在識別謊言的測驗中比成年人得分高；選項C說法與原文相反；選項D說法太過絕對。
53.答案：B)totelltheinconsistencybetweenaperson'swordsandhisnonverbalcues
點睛解析：此題問的是識別謊言的最好方法是什麼，原文出現在第四段Thebestwaytospotdeception后，即辨別出一個人的語言和非語言暗示之間的不一致，正確答案是B。
54.答案：A)Teachingthemtofightbackwhenthey'reintrouble.
點睛解析：此題答案在最後一段，選項B、C、D原文中均有提到，而fightback在原文中並沒有提到，正確答案是A。
55.答案：B)Howtoteachyourkidstospotalie
點睛解析：此題問的是此篇文章最好的標題是哪個，是主旨大意題，要求對文章全面把握。文章以如何教孩子識別謊言開篇，中間從三個學齡階段分別論述了父母應該怎樣做來教孩子識別謊言，最後以父母要教孩子們相信自己的直覺結尾。由此可見，最佳標題應是選項B。
