Since 五、阅读理解 When satellites take pictures of Earth at night，how much of the light that they see comes from streetlights？A team，led by Dr. Christopher Kyba from the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences，conducted an experiment in the city of Tucson，Arizona，USA to find the answer. Over a period of 10 days，Tucson officials changed the brightness settings for about 14，000 of the city’s 19，500 streetlights. Usually，most streetlights in Tucson start out at 90 per cent of their maximum possible illumination (亮度)，and dim (变暗) to 60 per cent at midnight. During the first experiment，the city instead dimmed lights all the way down to 30 per cent on some nights，and brightened them up to 100 per cent on others. The city lights were observed by the US-operated Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite. The satellite took cloud-free images of Tucson on four nights during the test，and on two other nights with regular lighting after the test. By comparing the city brightness on the 6 different nights，the researchers found that on a normal night，only about 20 per cent of the light in satellite images of Tucson comes from streetlights. In a second experiment conducted at the same time，Barentine，Kyba and their co-authors measured the sky brightness over Tucson from the ground. They examined how varying the illuminance of street lamps affected the sky brightness，and showed that as with light emissions seen from space，most of the sky brightness over Tucson is also due to other sources. “Taken together，these studies show that in a city with well-designed streetlights，most of the light emissions and light pollution come from other lights unnecessary for illumination，”Barentine explained. There is also no evidence or suggestion that reducing lighting levels as part of the experiment had any adverse effect on public safety. “Instead of dimming lights to the same level late each night，a city could instead dim to 45% on even days and 55% on odd days，”Kyba suggested. “City residents wouldn’t notice any difference，but that way we could measure how the contribution of different light types is changing over time. ” 1.What’s the main method used in the first experiment? A. Changing the places of streetlights. B. Changing the numbers of lights. C. Changing the brightness settings. D. Changing the observation time. 2.Which may be the source of light pollution according to the second research? A. Bright shop windows. B. Well-designed streetlights. C. Lights from moving cars. D. Lights as signals in airports. 3.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “adverse”？ A. Obvious. B. Advanced. C. Straight. D. Unfavorable. 4.What does the text mainly tell us? A. Dimming streetlights in different nights cause the same effect. B. Streetlights cause less nighttime light emissions than expected. C. Reducing streetlight illumination is important to control light pollution. D. Streetlights have little to do with the brightness in a big city at night. 六、语法填空 A Chemical pesticides and artificial fertilisers have been in widespread use in farming 1.____________ the middle of the 20th century，but scientists have found that their long-term use can sometimes harm 2.____________ the land and people’s health.Some pesticides like DDT have been prohibited in most 3.____________(country) because of the damage they cause 4.____________ people and the environment. 5.____________(solve) the problem，some farmers have switched to organic farming.They use natural waste from animals as fertiliser instead of artificial fertilisers.By doing so，they make the soil in their fields 6.____________(rich) in minerals than before.Many other methods are also used to produce rich soil.Farmers often change the kind of crop 7.____________(grow) in each field every year.In this way，some important minerals 8.____________(put) back into the ground.Some people would prefer to stop the use of man-made chemicals in agriculture 9.____________(entire)，but organic farming can’t serve the high demand for food around the world.So scientists have to find 10.__________suitable solution to the problem. B “How are you？” It’s a question that seems simple，but it can actually make people feel very strange. Last month，Alina Simone 1.        (write) in The New York Times about the difficulty that Russians have with this question.This same question，in Russian language and culture，is always answered 2.         a negative manner.In Russia，when people are asked “How are you？”，they usually complain about health，weather or things 3.         have happened recently.So when they’re asked “How are you？” in English，they don’t know what to do. In English-speaking 4.        (country)，“How are you？” has one standard answer: “Fine，and you？” That’s because “How are you？” is not actually about getting information—it’s a greeting.If 5.         is going on in your life is something that a native English-speaking friend really wants to know，he or she is more likely 6.        (ask): “What have you been up to？” or “What’s new？” But I understand why people are so 7.        (confuse)．When we learn second languages，we have to learn rules for using words as much as words 8.        (them)．How can you learn those rules? 9.        (watch) English-language TV shows is a good place to start.If you can，try to make a native English-speaking friend and talk to him or her 10.        (direct)． 参考答案 一、单词拼写与运用 1.entirely　2．essential　3.digested　4.estimated　5.shortage　6.consumption　7.convince　8.reality 二、选词填空 I.选词填空 1.preferred to　2.focus on　3.are rich in　4.has caused damage to　5.for instance II.选词填空 1.for instance　2.switched to　3.put down　4.no alternative to　5．are rich in　6.come into use　7.take turns　8.focus on 三、熟词生义 1.n.激励　2.v.(感情上)受到极大影响　3.v.详细阐明　4．n.特色　5.n.根源 第二部分 能力提升 四、完形填空 1.【答案】C 【解析】根据第一段When I got on the train，I tried not to fall asleep as I would be home at about 2 am可知，作者坐的是夜间火车。 2.【答案】D 【解析】根据空后I fell asleep可知，尽管作者提醒自己在火车上不要睡着，但可笑的是，作者居然睡着了。 3.【答案】A 【解析】根据第一段A controller advised me to      at the next one and wait for the train to my city. 可知，作者坐过了站。 4.【答案】B 【解析】根据上文作者坐过了站可知，作者需要在下一站下车。 5.【答案】D 【解析】根据最后一段Then at around 4 am she drove me to the station可知，下一趟火车要凌晨4点钟才到。 6.【答案】C 【解析】根据空前The next station was terrible和第二段she was      about my safety可知，下一站的情况很糟糕，孤零零地等车很危险。 7.【答案】D 【解析】根据空后的got off with me可知，一个乘客和作者同时下车。 8.【答案】B 【解析】根据上文讲述的下一个车站很糟糕和空后的my safety可知. 那位乘客很担心作者的安全。 9.【答案】A 【解析】根据第三段Would you like to see it in my car? 可知，那位乘客让作者上她的车。 10.【答案】B 【解析】根据空前but可知，作者还是相信了那位乘客。 11.【答案】C 【解析】根据第三段Asked if I had been here可知，作者和那位乘客开始了交谈。 12.【答案】B 【解析】根据空前I had passed the station many times以及but可知，作者虽然经常经过这个车站，但从没有踏入过这座城市。 13.【答案】D 【解析】根据第三段Our Reggia is very famous！Would you like to see it in my car？可知，作者和那位乘客进行了短暂的乘车旅行。 14.【答案】A 【解析】今天作者仍然记得那位女士。 15.【答案】C 【解析】虽然她只是个陌生人，她的善良真的打动了作者。 五、阅读理解 1.【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“During the first experiment，the city... and brightened them up to 100 per cent on others. ”可知，在第一次试验的时候，研究人员是通过在原有的基础上调节灯具的亮度来进行实验的。 3.【答案】A 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句中的“most of the light emissions and light pollution come from other lights unnecessary for illumination”可知，那些不必要的照明的灯光是光污染的主要来源。由此可推知，不必要的商店橱窗灯光可能会造成光污染。 4.【答案】D 【解析】词句猜测题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“City residents wouldn’t notice any difference”可知，试验期间改变路灯的亮度并没有引起居民的注意，因此也没有给公共安全带来不利影响。由此可推知，画线词adverse应意为“不利的”，与D项意思相近。 5.【答案】B 【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句可知，本文通过卫星所拍摄的照片上的光亮有多少是来自街灯，进而介绍了科学家的相关研究发现；结合第三段第二句可知，与从太空看到的夜晚散发的光一样，Tucson上空的大部分天空亮度也是来自其他光源。由此可推知，本文旨在告诉我们，卫星拍摄的照片受街灯的影响比预期的小，即街灯对夜晚的光排放量影响较小。 六、语法填空 A 1．since　2.both　3.countries　4.to　5.To solve　6.richer　7.grown　8.are put　9.entirely　10.a B：【答案】1．wrote　2．in　3．which/that　4．countries　5．what　6．to ask　7．confused　8．themselves　9．Watching　10．directly 【解析】1.考查动词时态。空处是句子的谓语动词，结合时间状语“Last month”可知，应用一般过去时。 2.考查介词。“in a/an...manner”为固定短语，表示“用……的方式”。 3.考查定语从句。空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词“things”指物，在从句中作主语，故应用关系代词which/that。 4.考查名词复数。空前“English-speaking”为形容词，空处应用名词，“country”意为“国家”，是可数名词，应用复数形式泛指多个国家。 5.考查主语从句。空处引导主语从句，从句中缺少主语，指代物或事情，应用连接代词what。 6.考查非谓语动词。“be (more) likely to do sth”为固定短语，表示“(更)有可能做某事”。 7.考查形容词。空前有系动词“are”，所填空应是形容词作表语，结合从句主语为“people”，指人，可知应用-ed形式的形容词。 8.考查代词。结合句意可知，此句强调当学习第二语言时，不仅要学习单词本身，还要学习单词的使用规则，空处应用反身代词指代words本身，故填themselves。 9.考查非谓语动词。“        (watch) English-language TV shows”为句子主语，应用动名词形式，位于句首，首字母大写。 10.考查副词。此处应用副词作状语修饰动词短语“talk to”。 第1页 共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
