Question

【題目】閱讀理解
Sunscreens (防曬霜) can offer protection from two types of ultraviolet (UV) rays (紫外線): UVB, which according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, are the chief cause of sunburn and play a key role in the development of skin cancer, and UVA, which get through the skin more deeply and are largely responsible for skin aging and wrinkling, as well as skin cancer risk. The SPF (防曬指數(shù)) measurement on sunscreens refers to the UVB protection level — and the number may not mean what you think it does. SPF 15 doesn't protect you from 15% of UVB rays, just as SPF 100 doesn't protect you from 100% of the rays. In fact, as you get into the higher numbered SPF sunscreens (think: 50 and above), the difference in UVB protection is actually pretty small.
Theoretically, though the increase in UVB protection with a super-high SPF sunscreen may be not worth considering, it may help, and certainly can't hurt, to use it — that is, as long as you do so correctly. “The only downside is whether you're giving yourself a sense of false security,” Dr. Gohara says.
Indeed, as Dr. Wang also pointed out, when people choose increased SPFs, they may actually feel so protected by the product that they finally ignore proper sun protection. “When people use really high SPF products, they tend not to reuse, they tend to stay out in the sun much longer, and they don't use other protective measures such as clothing and hats,” he says. Regardless of any increase in protection that a high SPF may or may not offer, one thing is certain: It doesn't give your body a free pass from sunburns, aging, or cancers, and it doesn't protect you from those things for any greater length of time than the lower SPF options. Both Dr. Wang and Dr. Gohara emphasized that, no matter what the SPF is, it's important to reapply your sunscreen every two hours.

【解析】本文講述的是防曬霜的種類(lèi)，以及它們的使用方法。注意防曬霜在使用兩小時(shí)后要重新再擦一次。

（1）D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章首句Sunscreens (防曬霜) can offer protection from two types of ultraviolet (UV) rays (紫外線): UVB, which according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, are the chief cause of sunburn and play a key role in the development of skin cancer, and UVA, which get through the skin more deeply and are largely responsible for skin aging and wrinkling, as well as skin cancer risk. 可知，UVA、UVB都可引起皮膚癌。故選D。

（2）A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中The SPF (防曬指數(shù)) measurement on sunscreens refers to the UVB protection level — and the number may not mean what you think it does. SPF 15 doesn't protect you from 15% of UVB rays, just as SPF 100 doesn't protect you from 100% of the rays. In fact, as you get into the higher numbered SPF sunscreens (think: 50 and above), the difference in UVB protection is actually pretty small.可知，SPF是UVB的防護(hù)水平，SPF100%并不是說(shuō)100%隔絕UVB，50%及以上對(duì)UVB的防護(hù)作用就很小了，故選A。

（3）B 詞義猜測(cè)題�！癟he only downside is whether you're giving yourself a sense of false security,”（唯一的缺點(diǎn)是，你是否給自己一個(gè)虛假的安全感），這個(gè)詞的意思是缺點(diǎn)，故選B。

（4）D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中It doesn't give your body a free pass from sunburns, aging, or cancers, and it doesn't protect you from those things for any greater length of time than the lower SPF options.可知，它不能完全保護(hù)我們免于老化，曬傷或癌癥。故選D。
