If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars，we would go in darkness happily，the
midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动的) species on this planet.Instead，
we are diurnal creatures，with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light.This is a basic evolutionary fact，even though
most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal beings.Yet it's the only way to explain what we've done to the night：
We've engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.
The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences—called light pollution—whose effects
scientists are only now beginning to study.Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design，which allows
artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky.Illdesigned lighting washes out the darkness of night and
completely changes the light levels—and light rhythms—to which many forms of life，including ourselves，have
adapted.Wherever human light spills into the natural world，some aspect of life is affected.
In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars，leaving behind a vacant haze (霾) that
mirrors our fear of the dark.We've grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night—dark
enough for the planet Venus to throw shadows on Earth—is wholly beyond our experience，beyond memory almost.
We've lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country，when nothing could be further from the truth.Among
mammals alone，the number of nocturnal species is astonishing.Light is a powerful biological force，and on many
species it acts as a magnet(磁铁)．The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being
“captured” by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms.Migrating at night，birds
tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings.
Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter
than normal，throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint，including their nighttime breeding choruses.
Humans are no less trapped by light pollution than the frogs.Like most other creatures，we do need darkness.
Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare，to our internal clockwork，as light itself.Living in a glare of our own making，we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage—
the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night.In a very real sense，light pollution causes us to lose sight of
our true place in the universe，to forget the scale of our being，which is best measured against the dimensions of a
deep night with the Milky Way—the edge of our galaxy—arching overhead.
4．According to the passage，human beings ________.
A．prefer to live in the darkness
B．are used to living in the day light
C．were curious about the midnight world
D．had to stay at home with the light of the moon
5．What does “it” (Paragraph 1) most probably refer to?
A．The night. B．The moon.
C．The sky. D．The planet.
6．The writer mentions birds and frogs to ________.
A．provide examples of animal protection
B．show how light pollution affects animals
C．compare the living habits of both species
D．explain why the number of certain species has declined
7．It is implied in the last paragraph that ________.
A．light pollution does harm to the eyesight of animals
B．light pollution has destroyed some of the world heritages
C．human beings cannot go to the outer space
D．human beings should reflect on their position in the universe
8．What might be the best title for the passage?
A．The Magic Light.B．The Orange Haze.
C．The Disappearing Night.
D．The Rhythms of Nature.
C
With around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9 am Monday morning lecture，it is no surprise that almost 20
people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes；it is not even a
surprise that most of them are still in their pyjamas(睡衣)．Obviously，students are terrible at adjusting their sleep
cycles to their daily schedule.
All human beings possess a body clock.Along with other alerting(警报)systems，this governs the sleep/ wake
cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour.Typically，the preferred sleep/wake
cycle is delayed in adolescents，which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings.This
typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the“night owl”schedule of sleep.
This is opposed to the “early bird”schedule，and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up
much past midnight.Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings.Research suggests that night owls
feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night.Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of
people can be classified as“night owls”and only 10 percent can be classified as“early birds”—the other 70 percent are
in the middle.Although this is clearly not true for all students，for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an
excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.
9．What does the author stress in Paragraph 1?
A．Many students are absent from class.
B．Students are very tired on Monday mornings.
C．Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.
D．Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.
10．Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?
A．Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.
B．Students don't sleep well because of alerting systems.C．One's body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.
D．Adolescents' delayed sleep/wake cycle isn't the preferred pattern.
11. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”？
A．Criticised. B．Grouped.
C．Organised. D．Named.
12．What does the text mainly talk about?
A．Functions of the body clock.
B．The “night owl”phenomenon.
C．Human beings' sleep behaviour.
D．The school schedule of “early birds”．

七、阅读七选五（10分）
Learning to set goals plays an important role as your child starts to gain independence. However, setting goals
doesn't come naturally to your child, so helping him to learn the process should probably be one of your goals.
Explain the word “goal”. Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but he may notunderstand what it means in everyday life. __1__
Listen to your child. Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are. __2__ Let
him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks he needs to improve. If he's stuck, you can provide
some examples of your own personal goals.
Help keep goals achievable. Don't throw cold water on your child. __3__ For example, if your child wants to be
a champion swimmer, but can't swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first
goal.
__4__ Help your child write down his goals in an easytofollow form. Being able to see and check off the steps
on the way to his goal is key in keeping him motivated. A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a
piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (梯级). __5__
A．Change goals every so often.
B．Make a visual goal reminder.
C．Don't always tell him what you think.
D．He's climbing to the top as he gets closer to his goal.
E．You can take sports as an example to help explain it to him.
F．Once he has set up a goal, he may find it very difficult to achieve it.
G．When a goal is beyond his reach, help him break it down into smaller pieces.
