This year’s Chelsea Flower Show, held from May 21 to25, featured (以…为特色) agarden
that was designed bychildren, for children. The famous show was run by the Royal Horticultural
Society (RHS), a gardening charity in Chelsea, London. It is a chance for garden designers to
show their skills and win prizes fortheir creations.
Children played an important role in thisyear’s show. The “no adults allowed” garden was
designed by primary school children. And it featured a woodland that invited exploration, a
grassland with grass and wildflowers and awetland area with bog plants. It also featured a play
area that included a natural cave leading into a pool ofwater, providing a slide for children to
enjoy. The show was a sensation, drawing in many families and community members, who were
excited to see the creative designs. The young designers confidently presentedtheir ideasto the
visitors, sharing what they learned throughout thecreativeprocess.
For the first time this year, children also took on the role ofjudges (裁判), giving prizes for
the garden they would most like to play in. Judges from primary school evaluated each garden
based on whether a garden was a good place to play, whether it was attractive to wildlife, and
how the garden made them feel. At last, the most popular garden prize went to the Octavia Hill
garden.
Ajunior judge shared, “I like the Octavia Hill garden best, because its woodland holds
more plants than others and the planting has attracted a lot ofwildlife. It is more fun to explore
and play in.”
Helena Pettit, the director ofthe RHS, stressed the importance ofthis show, stating, “The
show was uniquely designed to prove how important it is for children to have access (通道) to
nature. We’re delighted that we have children designers taking centre stage, who want to
encourage other children around the world to become gardeners, to help save the planet andhave
fun.”

Light pollution is the human-made change of outdoor light levels from those that naturally
exist. It is the presence of unwanted, unfit, or too much artificial ( 人 造 的 ) lighting. Light
pollution can have anumber ofbad effects, damaging wildlife, reducing natural beauty, and even
threatening human health.
Despite a growing awareness (意识) oflight pollution and its effects, and the increasing
number of dark-sky places, the overall situation is getting worse. According to a 2023 study
published in Science magazine, the number of stars visible (可见的) in the night sky decreased
between 7-10% per year from 2011 to 2022. At that rate, a location that had 250 visible stars in
2011 would see a reduction tojust 100 visible stars overa decade.
This worsening of light pollution is mainly due to several factors. Along with population
growth, people seek higher standards of living, which leads to more roads, houses, shopping
malls, and street lighting. The type oflighting in use has also changed. LED lighting makes it
very cheap to have more light and brighter light than ever before. Coupled with the wrong idea
that more light is better, homeowners and property managers are rapidly increasing the number
oflight outdoors.
Unlike environmental challenges like climate change, species extinction, and habitat
destruction (破坏), which require significant top-down responses, meaningful action can be
taken from the bottom up to address light pollution. That means that as much as governments
can make rules to limit light pollution —— countries like France, Slovenia, and Croatia already
have laws to this effect —— individual homeowners can make a differenceby using light only
where and when needed. They can also choose to use warm-white or yellow light instead ofblue
light. This aids night vision byall animals, including people.
There’s also a global movement for “dark-sky places”, which have plans to limit light
pollution and communicate with local people and companies to promote good outdoor lighting
practices. Right now, there are more than 350 ofthese dark-sky placesin the whole world.
32. Why are the numbers mentioned inthe second paragraph?
A. To explain the bad effects oflight pollution.
B.Todraw attention tofurther space exploration.
C. To introduce the rapid increase in visible stars.
D. Tostress the achievementinreducing light pollution.
33. What may be a cause ofthe increase inlight pollution?
A. Higherdemandsforsafety. B. The growth ofhomeowners.
C. MoreaffordableLED lighting. D. Theriseofgreenawareness.
34. What can we learn about “dark-sky places” from the lastparagraph?
A. The attention toit is limited.
B.The impact ofit is unexpected.
C. It has gained worldwide support.
D. It has improved the communication between companies.
35. Which ofthe following isa suitable title forthe text?
A. The Rise ofDark-Sky Movements
B.The Future ofLED Lighting Technology
C. The Economic Impact ofLight Pollution
D. The Growing Light Pollution andIts Solutions
