Ⅳ.阅读理解
Photographer Rebecca Douglas has always been crazy about the night sky.Her love of the stars has taken the UK resident on “star walking” trips to Iceland and into the Arctic.For nature lovers like Douglas star walking turns out to be a good way to enjoy life.
Hiking at night isn’t uncommon.Plenty of people hike after dark to get to campsites or watch sun rise from a mountaintop.Star walking goes a step further by mixing hiking with stargazing.Rather than heading to an observatory or setting up a telescope in your backyard,star walking takes you on a brief journey to look at the stars from different viewpoints.
“An observatory can never take the place of getting out into a rural landscape under a blanket of stars,” says Gary Lintern of Stargazing Nights in Durham,England,who leads guided night-time hikes.“It’s a magical experience,and I enjoy sharing it,especially at some of my favorite locations,like the High Force Waterfall,England’s largest waterfall,in Teesdale.”
There are plenty of studies that show the health benefits of being in nature.Spending at least two hours a week outdoors,particularly while engaging in activities that involve “effortless attention”,can decrease blood pressure,heart rate,and stress levels.Walking at night has the added benefit of improving sleep,which is important for overall health,says Christina Pierpaoli Parker,a behavioral sleep researcher at the University of Alabama.Parker says that star walking works on two physiological processes that determine sleep quality.“Movement and exercise,such as relaxing stargazing walks outside,may facilitate sleep,” she says.
Lintern advises reading up on the night sky before setting out.Free mobile apps,such as Star Walk 2,can help identify celestial bodies and are easy to use—simply point your phones at the sky to get a map.Websites like Sky & Telescope and NASA’s Space Place cover the basics,have in-depth explanations for constellations (星座),and offer advice on gear and equipment.
At the end of the day,the best advice is to take it slow and enjoy the journey.

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了气候变化和其他人为活动导致蜜蜂数量的减少以及养蜂人蒂勒独特的养蜂方法与感悟。
1.答案 activities
解析 考查名词复数。此处other修饰可数名词复数,故填activities。
2.答案 that/which
解析 考查定语从句。空处引导限制性定语从句,先行词为chemicals,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,故填that/which。
3.答案 making
解析 考查非谓语动词。空前是一个完整的句子,此处应用非谓语动词作状语,根据句意判断,此处应用现在分词作结果状语。
4.答案 a
解析 考查冠词。beekeeper是发音以辅音音素开头的可数名词,此处表泛指,需要用不定冠词a修饰,故填a。
5.答案 are
