Passage 1
(2025高二下·云南文山·期末)
With light pollution increasing by 10% every year, fewer and fewer people have regular access to a truly dark night sky. Preserving dark skies is essential for all living things, and being a respectful astrotourist helps you play a part in protecting our planet for future generations — here’s how to do it responsibly.
Where and when to go stargazing (观星)
The ideal stargazing locations are far from city lights, with unblocked views of the horizon. Mountains, deserts and remote islands are good choices, thanks to their isolation, clear conditions and lack of light pollution. Winter is the best time of year because there are longer hours of darkness, and the air tends to be clearer.
Whether it is worth joining a stargazing tour
A guide can provide equipment and valuable information, helping you spot planets, constellations and deep-sky objects that you might otherwise miss. Some destinations, such as observatories in Chile or New Zealand, even offer night-time viewing sessions on professional-grade telescopes.
What to bring on a stargazing trip
Night-time temperatures can drop significantly, especially in desert or mountain locations. Dress in layers and bring a good pair of gloves and a hat, even in warmer climates. Though your eyes are all you really need, binoculars on a tripod can be surprisingly effective and cost-friendly for observing nearby objects like our moon and the rings of Saturn.
Dark sky requirement
Be respectful of other stargazers by using only red torch lights, which protect our night vision and protect wildlife. Don’t shine torches or phone screens at others — it can take 20 minutes for your eyes to re-adjust to the darkness after exposure to light.
1.Which is the ideal location for stargazing?
A.The deserts in winter. B.The cities with less pollution.
C.The mountains during the day. D.The remote islands in summer.
2.What are stargazers required to do?
A.Wear fewer clothes. B.Bring professional cameras.
C.Record observations in detail. D.Show respect to others and wildlife.
3.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To promote stargazing tours. B.To compare stargazing locations.
C.To guide responsible stargazing. D.To explain stargazing rules to beginners.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.C
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了如何负责任地进行观星活动,包括观星的理想地点和时间、是否值得参加观星旅行团、观星时应携带的物品以及观星时的注意事项等。
1.细节理解题。根据Where and when to go stargazing (观星)中“The ideal stargazing locations are far from city lights, with unblocked views of the horizon. Mountains, deserts and remote islands are good choices, thanks to their isolation, clear conditions and lack of light pollution. Winter is the best time of year because there are longer hours of darkness, and the air tends to be clearer. (理想的观星地点是远离城市灯光,地平线视野无阻的地方。由于偏远、条件清晰且缺乏光污染,山脉、沙漠和偏远岛屿都是不错的选择。冬季是一年中最好的时间,因为黑夜时间更长,空气往往更清澈)”可知,冬季的沙漠是理想的观星地点。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据Dark sky requirement中“Be respectful of other stargazers by using only red torch lights, which protect our night vision and protect wildlife. (使用红光手电筒,以表示对其他观星者和野生动物的尊重,红光电筒可以保护我们的夜视能力,也能保护野生动物)”可知,观星者被要求尊重他人和野生动物。故选D项。
3.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Preserving dark skies is essential for all living things, and being a respectful astrotourist helps you play a part in protecting our planet for future generations — here’s how to do it responsibly. (保护黑暗的天空对所有生物都至关重要,做一个有礼貌的观星游客有助于你为保护我们的地球、为子孙后代尽一份力 —— 以下是如何负责任地做到这一点)”以及下文给出的具体建议可知,本文的目的是指导人们如何负责任地进行观星活动。故选C项。

Passage 10
(2023高二下·云南保山·期末)
A bridge is a structure constructed to connect two places without blocking the way beneath it. Below are four famous bridges in the world.
Bridge of Sighs
The Bridge of Sighs is in Venice, Italy, which was designed by Antonio Contino. The bridge’s construction was begun in 1600 and completed in 1603. The bridge was supposed to be the last view for prisoners, who would sigh at the beauty of Venice, before being taken to prison. That is why it is called the Bridge of Sighs.
Tsing Ma Bridge
The bridge is named after the two islands it connects—Ma Wan and Tsing Yi in Hong Kong. It has both a roadway and a railway and is the longest suspension bridge (悬索桥) with two decks. The bridge is 4,518 feet long and 676 feet tall, which was designed by Mott MacDonald. The construction was begun in 1992 and completed in 1997.
Tower Bridge
The Tower Bridge is situated in London, which is a combination of the drawbridge (开合桥) and suspension bridge. Designed by Horace Jones and John Wolfe Barry, it was built between 1886 and 1894. The bridge stretches across the River Thames near the Tower of London. The drawbridge is drawn about 1,000 times a year.
Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge joins the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, whose chief designer was Jbseph Strauss. The bridge has been named the most beautiful and most photographed bridge in the world. It is 8,981 feet long, 746 feet tall and 90 feet wide. Construction of the bridge was begun in 1933 and completed in 1937. In 1987, the bridge was named a California historic landmark.

2. 细节理解题。根据 Bridge of Sighs(叹息之桥)部分中的“The bridge’s construction was begun in 1600 and completed in 1603. (这座大桥始建于 1600 年,1603 年竣工。)”可知花费 3 年; Tsing Ma Bridge(青马大桥)部分中的“The construction was begun in 1992 and completed in 1997.

You could choose to fly to one of the two airports that aren’t too far from the city with Stockholm Orlando Airport being the biggest airport in the country.
Flights are available from across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. From the airport, you can take a bus or commuter train into the city center.
Getting Around
Stockholm has an excellent public transport system that is made up of several bus lines, commuter rails, trams metros, and ferries covering the majority of the city efficiently. Many people choose to cycle around Stockholm as the city has plenty of bike lanes and paths to get around. You can get yourself a Go City Stockholm card offering free entry to over 60 top attractions. You could also choose to take a taxi but it is expensive. So try to avoid if possible.
Food and Board
Hostel dorm prices can be found for under 350 Krona while budget Hotels begin at 2, 000, and four-or five-star hotels can be found for around 4, 000 Krona. Breakfast costs around 50Krona and lunch begins at 120, while dinner starts at around 200 Krona.

Passage 1
(2025高二下·云南文山·期末)
With light pollution increasing by 10% every year, fewer and fewer people have regular access to a truly dark night sky. Preserving dark skies is essential for all living things, and being a respectful astrotourist helps you play a part in protecting our planet for future generations — here’s how to do it responsibly.
Where and when to go stargazing (观星)
The ideal stargazing locations are far from city lights, with unblocked views of the horizon. Mountains, deserts and remote islands are good choices, thanks to their isolation, clear conditions and lack of light pollution. Winter is the best time of year because there are longer hours of darkness, and the air tends to be clearer.
Whether it is worth joining a stargazing tour
A guide can provide equipment and valuable information, helping you spot planets, constellations and deep-sky objects that you might otherwise miss. Some destinations, such as observatories in Chile or New Zealand, even offer night-time viewing sessions on professional-grade telescopes.
What to bring on a stargazing trip
Night-time temperatures can drop significantly, especially in desert or mountain locations. Dress in layers and bring a good pair of gloves and a hat, even in warmer climates. Though your eyes are all you really need, binoculars on a tripod can be surprisingly effective and cost-friendly for observing nearby objects like our moon and the rings of Saturn.
Dark sky requirement
Be respectful of other stargazers by using only red torch lights, which protect our night vision and protect wildlife. Don’t shine torches or phone screens at others — it can take 20 minutes for your eyes to re-adjust to the darkness after exposure to light.
1.Which is the ideal location for stargazing?
A.The deserts in winter. B.The cities with less pollution.
C.The mountains during the day. D.The remote islands in summer.
2.What are stargazers required to do?
A.Wear fewer clothes. B.Bring professional cameras.
C.Record observations in detail. D.Show respect to others and wildlife.
3.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To promote stargazing tours. B.To compare stargazing locations.
C.To guide responsible stargazing. D.To explain stargazing rules to beginners.
