考题 CIn most situations, light helps us see. But nowadays humans are using too much of it so that it is in fact a kind of pollution.When it comes to looking at the night sky, too much light makes it difficult for us to watch some of life’s most wonderful sights: stars, planets and even galaxies(星系).According to scientific research, about 2, 500 stars can be seen by the human eye without using any special equipment(设备). But because of light pollution, you can only see 200 to 300 stars from today’s countryside, and no more than ten stars from a city. In most big cities, people cannot see the sky filled with stars like they did in their childhood.Light pollution affects more than just our view of sky. Research shows that lots of nighttime light can harm wildlife, too.When birds fly to another place over cities, they sometimes get lost by the brightness and fly in circles(圈) until they drop from tiredness. Sea turtles(海龟) need dark beaches for laying eggs, but they can’t find their ideal places because of those bright lights.Too much light at night may even affect human health, but scientists are not sure of that. They are still learning more.In order to prevent things from going worse, governments and some organizations are working to reduce light pollution. Many cities and towns have taken action to reduce the use of lights at night. Lights are used only when and where they are truly needed. They also shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky and use lower brightness levels.Hopefully, in the near future, humans can enjoy the clear and beautiful sky again and all the wildlife will live a peaceful and undisturbed life, too.27. Why does the writer think that too much light is a kind of pollution?A. Because there are fewer and fewer stars.B. Because human health has been affected.C. Because too much light is a waste of energy.D. Because some of the wildlife can be harmed.

考题 We can never expectbluer sky unless we create less polluted world.A. a; a B. a; theC. the; a D. the; the

考题 Passage ThreeEducation is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them; our purpose is to prepare them for life. As soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to choose a system of education which will really prepare children for life. It is not enough just to choose the first system of education one finds, or to continue with one's old system of education without examining it to see whether it is in fact suitable or not.In many modern countries, it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all—whether rich or poor, clever or stupid—one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees than there are jobs for them to fill. Because of their degrees, they refuse to do what they consider "low" work; and, in fact, work with the hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we will die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we would have terrible diseases in our towns. In countries where there are no servants because everyone is ashamed to do such work, scientists have to waste much of their time doing housework.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to prepare for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability, and secondly, we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and it is very bad to be ashamed of one's work, or to scorn someone else's. Only such a type of education can be called valuable to society.44. Education is______.A. a purposeB. a meansC. fashionableD. the first system

考题 Text 2 To understand how astrology works, we should first take a quick look at the sky. Although the stars are at enormous distances, they do indeed give the impression of being affixed to the inner surface of a great hollow sphere surrounding the earth. Ancient people, in fact, literally believed in the existence of such a celestial sphere. As the earth spins on its axis, the celestial sphere appears to turn about us each day, pivoting at points on a line with the earth's axis of rotation. This daily turning of the sphere carries the stars around the sky, causing most of them to rise and set, but they, and constellations they define, maintains fixed patterns on the sphere, just as the continent of Australian maintains its shape on a spinning globe of the earth. Thus the stars were called fixed stars.The motion of the sun along the ecliptic is, of course, merely a reflection of the revolution of the earth around the sun, but the ancients believed the earth was fixed and the sun had an independent motion of its own, eastward among the stars. The glare of sunlight hides the stars in daytime, but the ancients were aware that the stars were up there even at night, and the slow eastward motion of the sun around the sky, at the rate of about thirty degrees each month, caused different stars to be visible at night at different times of the year.The moon, revolving around the earth each month, also has an independent motion in the sky. The moon, however, changes its position relatively rapidly. Although it appears to rise and set each day, as does nearly everything else in the sky, we can see the moon changing position during as short an interval as an hour or so. The moon's path around the earth lies nearly in the same plane as the earth's path around the sun, so the moon is never seen very far from the ecliptic in the sky. There are five other objects visible to the naked eye that also appear to move in respect to the fixed background of stars on the celestial sphere. These are the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and the Saturn. All of them revolve around the sun in nearly the same plane as the earth does, so they, like the moon, always appear near the ecliptic. Because we see the planets from the moving earth, however, they behave in a complicated way, with their apparent motions on the celestial sphere reflection both their own independent motions around the sun and our motion as well.第26题:The ancient people believed that ________.[A] the earth was spinning on the axis of the sky[B] the sky was a hollow sphere spinning around the earth[C] the patterns of stars on the sky would never change[D] the stars around the sky were not stationary

考题 共用题干 Rockets in the SkyIf someone asked you,"What color is the sky?"I expect that you would answer,"Blue."I am afraid that you would be wrong.The sky has no color.When we see blue,we are looking at blue sunlight.The sunlight is shining on little bits of dust in the air.We know that there is air all around the world.We could not breathe without air.Airplanes could not fly without air.They need air to lift their wings.Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner.If we go far enough away from the earth,we find there is no air.What is the sky?The sky is space.In this space there is nothing except the sun,the moon and all the stars. Scientists have always wanted to know more about the other worlds in the space.They have looked at them through telescopes and in this way they have found out a great deal.The moon is about 384 ,000 kilometers away from the earth.An airplane cann't fly to the moon but there is a thing that can fly even when there is no air. This is rocket.I am sure that you are asking,"How does a rocket fly?"If you want to know,get a balloon and then blow it up until it is quite big.Do not tie up the neck of the balloon.Let go!The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly.The air inside the balloon tries to get out.It rushes out through the neck of the balloon and this pushes the balloon through the air.It does not need wings like an airplane.This is how a rocket works.It is not made of rubber(橡胶)like a balloon,of course.It is made of metal. The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong.There is gas inside the rocket which is made very hot. When it rushes out of the end of the rocket,the rocket is pushed up into the air.Rockets can fly far out into space.Rockets with men inside them have already reached the moon.Several rockets,without men inside them,have been sent to other worlds much farther away.One day rockets may be able to go anywhere in the space.What color is the sky?A:It is blue. B:It is white.C:It is grey. D:It has no color.
