This usually happens when there is a problem with the electricity, but this time the lights were turned off to allow people to go outside and look at the stars. This is often impossible in a city because of light pollution. Light pollution is when light from streetlights or buildings makes the night less dark. There are many reasons why this is a problem. Animals sleep less because they think it is still daytime. Birds that fly to warmer countries in the autumn need to see the moon and stars to find their way, but light pollution makes this difficult. Insects and birds in cities often fly towards lights at night, knock into buildings and die. Light pollution is also bad for us. It can stop us sleeping and give us headaches. Also we don’t see the same sky that people in the past did. This means we almost never see one of the greatest scenes in the world: the millions of stars. Hundreds of thousands of people have never seen it in their lives. However, it is not difficult to do a few things to reduce (减轻) light pollution: we can all turn lights off when we don’t need them and we can cover our windows. If there is less light pollution, we will once again be able to enjoy the beauty of the night sky. 46.

Light pollution. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了光污染的危害以及我们如何减少光污染。 【46题详解】 根据“This usually happens when there is a problem with the electricity, but this time the lights were turned off to allow people to go outside and look at the stars.”可知，日内瓦的街灯都关了，是为了让人们到外面去看星星。故填To allow people to go outside and look at the stars. 【47题详解】 根据“Birds that fly to warmer countries in the autumn need to see the moon and stars to find their way, but light pollution makes this difficult.”可知，月亮和星星帮助鸟儿们找到路。故填The moon and stars. 【48题详解】 根据“Light pollution is also bad for us. It can stop us sleeping and give us headaches.”可知，光污染会让我们无法入睡，还会让我们头痛。故填It can stop us sleeping and give us headaches. 【49题详解】 根据“However, it is not difficult to do a few things to reduce (减轻) light pollution: we can all turn lights off when we don’t need them and we can cover our windows.”可知，我们可以关掉灯，或者把窗户盖上来减少光污染。故填Turn lights off and cover our windows. 【50题详解】 根据“This is often impossible in a city because of light population.”和“Light pollution is when light from streetlights or buildings makes the night less dark.”可知，本文主要介绍的光污染，故填Light pollution.

According to the passage, what should we do to keep healthy? _____________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. ①. writing ②. without 52. Going on a poor diet for a long time is not healthy for us. 53. 不合理的饮食和抽烟一样成为了死亡的重要原因之一。 54. Four. 55. Do more sports. (answers can be different) 【解析】 【分析】本文讲述了吸烟的危害，并讲了其他三件事情像吸烟一样致命。分别是孤独、久坐和不良的饮食习惯。 【51题详解】 根据前文Researchers surveyed about four million people.研究人员调查了大约400万人，以及后面their everyday sitting time他们每天坐着的时间，可知第一个空格应填writing，write down“写下、记下”，keep on doing sth.保持做某事；第二个空格，联系上下文的语境可知是“如果你花两个小时坐着不动，患病的风险就会更高”，“没有移动”without moving；故答案为(1). writing (2). without 【52题详解】 题意：长时间节食对我们来说是不健康的。通过对第四段的理解可知Going on a poor diet for a long time is not healthy for us.与题意意思相近，故答案为Going on a poor diet for a long time is not healthy for us. 【53题详解】 要求把文中画线的句子译成汉语The poor diet is becoming one of the important reasons of death just like smoking.“The poor diet”不良的饮食，“is becoming”正在成为，“one of the important reasons of death”关于死亡的重要原因之一，“just like smoking”就像吸烟一样。故答案为不合理的饮食和抽烟一样成为了死亡的重要原因之一。 【54题详解】 题意：文章中提到了多少坏习惯？通过对整篇文章的理解可知文中提到了抽烟、孤独、久坐和不良饮食四种坏习惯，故答案为Four. 【55题详解】 题意：根据文章，我们应该做些什么来保持健康？本题答案不唯一，比如：Do more sports.

V.阅读表达(共20分) A On the evening of September 26, 2019, the streets of Geneva in Switzerland went dark. This usually happens when there is a problem with the electricity, but this time the lights were turned off to allow people to go outside and look at the stars. This is often impossible in a city because of light pollution. Light pollution is when light from streetlights or buildings makes the night less dark. There are many reasons why this is a problem. Animals sleep less because they think it is still daytime. Birds that fly to warmer countries in the autumn need to see the moon and stars to find their way, but light pollution makes this difficult. Insects and birds in cities often fly towards lights at night, knock into buildings and die. Light pollution is also bad for us. It can stop us sleeping and give us headaches. Also, we don’t see the same sky that people in the past did. This means we almost never see one of the greatest scenes in the world: the millions of stars. Hundreds of thousands of people have never seen it in their lives. However, it is not difficult to do a few things to reduce (减轻) light pollution: we can all turn lights off when we don’t need them and we can cover our windows. If there is less light pollution, we will once again be able to enjoy the beauty of the night sky. 46. Why were the streetlights turned off in Geneva? ____________________________________________________________ 47. What helps birds find their way? ____________________________________________________________ 48. What bad influences does light pollution have on people’s health? ____________________________________________________________ 49 How can we reduce light pollution? (at least two ways) ____________________________________________________________ 50. Give a proper title to the passage. ____________________________________________________________ B As we all know, smoking does great harm to human beings. Smoking causes many illnesses. A lot of people always cough(咳嗽)because of smoking. One of the most serious illnesses caused by smoking is lung cancer(肺癌). Many people died because of smoking. According to the newest study, there are other three things as deadly as smoking. ▲Loneliness(孤独). The growth of using Internet and less person to person communication make people feel lonely. Vivek Murthy, has made loneliness a worldwide epidemic(流行病)and it could be deadly. Julianne Holt has found that loneliness reduces(减少)people’s life which equals to(等于)smoke 15 cigarettes a day. ▲Sitting. Sitting all day increases(增加)the risk of different kinds of cancers. Researchers surveyed about four million people. They kept on①______ down their everyday sitting time. Such as how often they sat to watch TV, do work, and so on. According to the data(数据), they find that if you spend a two-hour time sitting②______ moving, the risks of getting ill will be higher. Even though they still exercise during the day, it won’t change the result. ▲Poor diet(饮食). Nowadays many people go on a poor diet to keep thin and fashion. They usually have a little fruit or just a cup of water instead of the meal. Going on a poor diet for a long time is not healthy for us. We can’t live a normal life without a healthy body.
