B
If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars,we would go in darkness happily,themidnight 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.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。现如今人类使夜晚充满了人造光线,使得夜晚不再黑暗,但这么做
所造成的光污染的不好影响是巨大的,到了考虑这么做的后果的时候了。
4.According to the passage,human beings ________.
A.prefer to live in the darkness
B.are used to living in the day lightC.were curious about the midnight world
D.had to stay at home with the light of the moon
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Instead,we are diurnal creatures,with eyes adapted to living in
the sun's light.”可知,我们人类是白天活动的动物,习惯了在日光下生活。故答案为B。]
5.What does “it” (Paragraph 1) most probably refer to?
A.The night. B.The moon.
C.The sky. D.The planet.
答案 A [代词指代题。it是代词,指代前面提到的事物,而前面提到的是night,指用来照亮黑夜。]
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
答案 B [目的意图题。第三段谈到了光污染,后面的段落是对光污染影响的详细说明,作者以鸟和青
蛙为例来说明光污染对动物的影响。]
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
答案 D [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In a very real sense,light pollution causes us to lose sight of
our true place in the universe...”可推断出,我们人类应该反思我们所在宇宙中的身份地位。]
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.
答案 C [标题归纳题。整篇文章都在说明光污染给生物带来的巨大影响,本来是宁静、舒适的夜晚也
被人类设计的灯光所影响。所以,标题应该是The Disappearing Night。]
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.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇议论文。每个人都有属于自己的生物钟。研究发现:由于某些人的睡眠周期不
能与日常事务很好地协调,从而造成睡眠紊乱。有相当一部分人成了半夜不睡觉早晨起不了床的“夜猫子”。
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.答案 C [细节理解题。本段最后一句话对以上所述进行总结,也是本段的大意。由此可知 C项正
确。]
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.
答案 D [细节理解题。根据“Typically,the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents...”一句
可知答案为D。]
11. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”?
A.Criticised. B.Grouped.
C.Organised. D.Named.
答案 B [词义猜测题。画线单词所在句子的意思是“研究结果表明大约有 20%的人可以划分到‘夜猫
子’这一类,10%的人可以划分到‘早起的鸟儿’这一类。”classified意为……归为一类。]
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”.
答案 B [主旨大意题。短文开篇就描述了“夜猫子”现象,然后从生物学角度进行分析,接下来又与
“早起的鸟儿”进行对比说明。因此答案为B。]

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 not
understand 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.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了如何帮助孩子设定自己的目标,从而使他们学会独立。
【答案】ECGBD
【解析】
1.选E 根据空前的“Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer”可知,通过拿足球运动做例
子让孩子明白目标的概念,所以选E项。
2.选C 根据本段主题句“Listen to your child.”和空前的“Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for
himself what his goals are.”可知,你不要总是告诉孩子你的想法,要让孩子自己去决定他的目标,所以选C项。
3.选G 根据本段主题句“Help keep goals achievable.”和空后所举的例子可推知,父母在孩子的目标太大不
能实现的情况下,可以帮助其分解目标从而逐步实现目标,所以选G项。
4.选B 根据空后的“Help your child write down his goals in an easytofollow form.”可知,确定目标之后,要
让孩子把目标写下来,便于提醒和及时查看,所以选B项。
5.选D 根据空前的“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).”可知,爬向顶端就意味着离目标更近了,所以选D项。
