SectionC
PassageOne
46.答案：C)Spendingmorethanninehoursonadigitaldeviceperdaycouldhurtthehealthofeyesseriously.
点睛解析：第一段落的意思是“接近1/4的千禧代和1/3的X代人，每天至少花费九小时在数字设备上；如果你是其中一种，那么你很可能正在把你的眼睛健康置于严重危险中”。比例的大小并不能说明千禧代比X代有眼睛健康危险的可能性低，也不能说明有眼睛健康危险的人数更少，更不能说明，这两个年代以外的人都没有眼睛健康危险，选项A、B、D错误。每天花费在数字设备上的时间超过九小时会严重伤害眼睛健康，选项C正确。
47.答案：A)Gazingataglowingdisplayforalongtime.
点睛解析：此题问的是造成数字视疲劳的主要原因，关键词在primary。第三段落正是解释了几个原因，第一句中crux一词表示“关键，核心”，与primary一词意思相近，可知正确答案为长时间凝视发光显示器，即选项A。
48.答案：D)Angryeyesandblurryvision.
点睛解析：第四段落分析了digitaleyestrain的几种症状，一一对照即可得知哪种说法是错误的。要注意，此处watery并不表示“水汪汪”，而是“流泪”的意思，irritated也并不表示“恼怒”，而是“不适，刺激”的意思，所以正确答案为D。
49.答案：B)Havingafrequentbreakfromyourdisplay.
点睛解析：此题问的是如何避免数字视疲劳。第五段落和第六段落给出了方法。第五段落第一句话即给出了最简单的方法：经常从电脑屏幕上移开视线休息一会。此处break表示“休息”的意思，选项B正确。选项A，弄坏电脑屏幕的说法明显错误；选项C，正确说法是每20分钟，向20英尺外看20秒钟，并不是在20秒钟内步行20英尺；从文中可知，能避免数字视疲劳的方法是每小时休息五分钟，设置闹钟是为了提醒自己这样休息，而设置闹钟本身并不是避免视力疲劳的方法，选项D错误。
50.答案：B)Toavoiddigitaleyestrain,weshouldstepawayfromthescreenasmuchaswecould.
点睛解析：选项B是对第五段落的总结，即要避免数字视疲劳，要尽我们所能地多多远离屏幕。选项A的信息出现在第三段落的最后一句，注意原文中并没有提到damage是irrecoverable的，选项A错误；选项C和D的信息都出现在最后一段，根据原文，周围的光线和屏幕的亮度对视力疲劳会有影响，应使他们保持一致，选项C错误原文中关于眼镜镜片的说法，只是说能help，并没有说能cure，属于偷换概念，选项D错误。
PassageTwo
51.答案：D)Ourbodylanguagewilltellourrealemotion.
点睛解析：题干中已经明确此题的出题点在第二段落。第一句即表明，识别谎言，不仅仅要听人们说什么，也要看做什么，选项A、B错误；接下来，研究指出，在所有文化中，人们有七种相同的面部表情，而不是面部特征，选项C错误；最后一句表明，即使我们想要隐藏一种情感时，这种感情也会通过我们的面部或肢体语言表现出来，选项D正确。
52.答案：A)Theyhaveaninstinctskilltoreadpeople.
点睛解析：此题的出题点在elementaryagekids。第三段落一开始即说明小学龄孩子天生就有读懂他人的能力，选项A正确。选项B说法不完整，原文中提到的是，孩子在识别谎言的测验中比成年人得分高；选项C说法与原文相反；选项D说法太过绝对。
53.答案：B)totelltheinconsistencybetweenaperson'swordsandhisnonverbalcues
点睛解析：此题问的是识别谎言的最好方法是什么，原文出现在第四段Thebestwaytospotdeception后，即辨别出一个人的语言和非语言暗示之间的不一致，正确答案是B。
54.答案：A)Teachingthemtofightbackwhenthey'reintrouble.
点睛解析：此题答案在最后一段，选项B、C、D原文中均有提到，而fightback在原文中并没有提到，正确答案是A。
55.答案：B)Howtoteachyourkidstospotalie
点睛解析：此题问的是此篇文章最好的标题是哪个，是主旨大意题，要求对文章全面把握。文章以如何教孩子识别谎言开篇，中间从三个学龄阶段分别论述了父母应该怎样做来教孩子识别谎言，最后以父母要教孩子们相信自己的直觉结尾。由此可见，最佳标题应是选项B。
