airports and roadways. All these structures use electricity and need to be lighted. Humans demand these lights.
They want their homes more comfortable and they want their streets sage. The problem is that researchers are
finding that all the light is having a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well.
Less than 10 years ago I drove to a thinly populated section of my town, lay down in the middle of the road
and watched an attracted meteor shower (流星雨). The area was short of homes, street lights and traffic. If I
did that today, I wouldn"t be able to see the meteor shower as well, and I would surely be run over by a car.
Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as carbon dioxide pollution. If you"ve
ever taken a flight at night, the view is beautiful, but you must remember that all the light you see is wasted
electricity. The crew of the space shuttles see an even bigger picture of how extensive the wasted electricity
is worldwide.
Additionally, electricity needs to be generated, and the generation of electricity creates pollution by giving
off greenhouse gases. This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.
Scientists are also studying the effects of light pollution on wildlife. Thousands of birds die each year when
they crash into highly lighted buildings, as they become puzzled by the light. It has been long known that tiny
sea turtle hatchlings become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.
Fortunately, light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative
effect. Following some guidelines and a little searching on Google can give you many ideas on how to reduce
your contribution to light pollution.
B. stress the advantages of less pollution
C. show the great changes of the town
D. prove the bad effects of light pollution
B. not to ignore the beauty around.
C. to set proper light for animals
D. not to destroy the animal"s living conditions.
B. Light pollution is a threat to some animals.
C. Light pollution has nothing to do with global warming
D. Astronauts can"t see clearly in space due to light pollution.
B. Other sources of light pollution
C. Ways of reducing light pollution
D. More bad effects of light pollution

举一反三
of college, she was suddenly ten pounds heavier. "My friends and I often had pizza or ice cream when
we studied late at night," she said, "and I was always drinking Coke to stay awake."
Celia"s experience is common. Many students enter college and find it so different that they cannot
deal with changes properly. They"re away from their parents and in a new stressful (压力的) environment.
Pressures (压力) together with freedom to sleep and eat however they please cause many students to
experience the "Freshman 15": gaining weight suddenly in their freshman year of college.
Most students do not realize that the "Freshman 15" can cause some serious health problems. Of
course, college-age adults are still developing bone mass,so gaining some weight is normal. Sudden weight
gain, however, puts too much strain (负担) on the heart and lungs,resulting in little energy and some
difficult thinking and remembering. In later life, it can lead to heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and possibly
cancer.
The solution to the"Freshman 15" is simple-pay attention to developing good habits! In general:
● Eat normal-sized meals at regular times. Eat slowly and enjoy it,so you don"t need to go back for more.
● Keep only healthy snacks in your room-and don"t snack too often!
● Control drinking and smoking. Alcohol has a lot of calories, and smoking too much makes exercise
difficult.
● Exercise regularly! Even just 30 minutes a day-such as walking quickly to class from your dorm-will
make a big difference!
B. She put on weight suddenly
C. She always studied late
D. She went on diet so as to keep in good shape
B. They find it not quite difficult
C. They find it very free
D. They find it simple
B. They have grown up
C. They have gained a lot of weight
D. Sudden weight gain may result in serious health problems
B. Eat all foods slowly and regularly
C. Keep enough healthy snacks in the room
D. Eat healthy snacks as much as possible
runs out in the middle of a call?
If yes, then here comes some good news. Scientists are now perfecting a way to recharge (充电)
electrical equipment while on the move.
Researchers from the Netherlands, France and Portugal announced last week that they have developed
very thin solar panels (太阳能板) that can be put on clothes. They can also be added to furniture and
rooftops. They change light from the sun into electricity.
In about three years, you"ll be able to wear a jacket that will recharge your phone as you walk. For
camping fans, the development could lead to a tent which charges batteries all day so you can have light
or music at night.
The basic technology of wearable solar panels is the same as that used for conventional (传统的) solar
panels. Pairs of sheets of semi-conducting silicon (半导体硅) are linked together to form the panel.
But scientists made them much thinner by using different silicon. At one micro-metre, they are the
same thickness as photographic film.
"This technology will make it easier for people to use clean energy sources," said Gerrit Kroesen, a
physicist in the Netherlands who led the team of scientists.
But the thin panels are not as efficient as the thicker ones. While some solar panels now operate at an
efficiency of about 20 per cent, the new flexible (柔韧的) panels are only 7 per cent efficient. But the
scientists believe that this is worth accepting for a stronger and more useful panel.
But the thinner panel is cheaper. An A4 sized panel put onto the back of a jacket costs less than US$13.
It could charge a cellphone during a summer walk in the countryside. As long as you stay within range of
the transmitting masts (发射天线) that relay a call to the networks, phones will never again run out of power.
B. Going from one place to another.
C. Changing clothes before moving.
D. Changing the mobile phone battery.
B. A new kind of chargeable battery.
C. A new type of mobile phone.
D. A use of mobile phones.
B. Warmer clothes.
C. Furniture and rooftops.
D. Thin flexible solar panels.
B. Your mobile phone battery runs out in the middle of a call.
C. You wear a jacket that will recharge your phone.
D. You can change light from the sun into electricity.
environment, an official of the China Cuisine Association (中国烹饪协会) said.
Bian Jiang, its secretary general, recently called on restaurant owners to say no to one-off tableware
(餐具), especially wooden chopsticks. "The country produces and throws away over 45 billion pairs of
wooden chopsticks every year, at a cost to the environment of about 25 million tree." Bian said.
"That"s a heavy blow to the county"s shrinking forests," he said, "We should not turn a deaf ear to the
call for environmental protection. We should stop using disposable tableware from now on."
In order to discourage the use of wooden chopsticks and to protect wooden resources, the government
put a 5% tax on them in April.
The use of disposable chopsticks has been discussed for years. Their supporters say that both restaurant
owners and consumers prefer them, and that an industry has grown up around their production.
B. the environment is no longer green
C. the government is not happy with that
D. too many trees are cut
B. welcomed by a lot of people
C. receiving indifferent attitudes
D. rejected by some people
B. Expensive
C. Man
D. One-use
B. The government calls on people to stop using wooden chopsticks.
C. Disposable tableware wastes a lot of forests and does damage to the environment.
D. People are aware of the cost of using disposable tableware.
still. On the far side of the water is some farmland and further away, across the field, is an old church built
on a hill. It has just stopped raining. The brook (小溪) flowing into the lake is full and there is still some
half-melted (半融化的)snow from last winter on the ground.
The reason why the water is so clear, and everything is so quiet and still, is that most of the plant and
animal life in and around the lake is dead. There are no birds because all the fish and insects, which the
birds need for food, have disappeared. Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark (树皮), and
are sick and dying. Others were blown down by the high winds of last winter, A farmer is working in a field
planting something, but unless he plants a stronger kind of seed this year. the crop will be between 25 to 40
percent lower than a few years ago. The stones of the old church tower are turning to powder and unless
the tower is repaired soon, it will fall down.
All the death and destruction in this place is caused by the smoke coming out of factories and poisonous
gases from cars and trucks. And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest factory
and highway.
B. Summer
C. Autumn
D. Winter
B. the area is polluted
C. the lake is quiet
D. they have all been killed
B. few plants can grow because of the pollution
C. the water in the lake can"t be used to irrigate the field
D. the wind is too strong
B. A Polluted Place
C. A Quiet Place in Sweden
D. A Faraway Mountain Area
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in
the passage and required words limit.
(一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers.
Many guests like the idea because they don"t have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing,
remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests
with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things. Many disposable things are
made of plastic, not easy to rot away. People throw them away after using them only once. It is a waste of
natural resources and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as
400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away
about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between
100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring
your own things and use them again and again.
At home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to use daily
necessities (日用品) once more. Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it
out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen,
use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.
