4between

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。主要说明了发表在《科学进展》杂志上的一项研究报告称,世界上大多数国家的夜间人工照明正在迅速增加,以及夜间过度使用人造光带来了许多问题。

1考查动词时态语态。本句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,且根据上文fell可知为一般过去时,主语为we,谓语动词用复数形式。故填were left

2考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知publish在句中做非谓语动词,与逻辑主语study构成被动关系,故用过去分词。故填published

3考查副词。修饰动词increase应用副词rapidly,表示“快速地”。故填rapidly

4考查介词。根据短语between…and…表示“在……之间”,故填between

5考查名词的数。problem为可数名词,由many修饰故用复数形式。故填problems

6考查名词。根据上文our为形容词性物主代词可知应填名词safety,表示“安全”。故填safety

7考查形容词。修饰后文名词environment应用形容词natural,表示“自然的”。故填natural

8考查介词。根据短语have an effect on…表示“对……有影响”。故填on

9考查名词。句意:许多环保人士认为,引入LED灯将有助于保护地球。根据上文the可知应填名词introduction,表示“引入”。故填introduction

10考查定语从句。句意:然而,城市正在使用更多的LED灯,因为它们更便宜,这增加了光污染。本句为非限定性定语从句修饰上文整个句子,且从句中缺少主语,故用关系代词which。故填which

当分词做状语的时候,如果构成分词的动词与句子的主语构成主动关系,就使用现在分词做状语;当二者构成被动关系,使用过去分词做状语。如果分词的动作发生在谓语动词之前,就使用分词的完成式。如果分词与句子的主语没有关系,可以使用状语从句或者独立主格结构。

如第二小题,分析句子结构可知publish在句中做非谓语动词,与逻辑主语study构成被动关系,故用过去分词。故填published

【题目】 Dolly Parton, an American musician, is used to performing for big crowds. But after her set this year at Glastonbury, Britain’s largest music festival which can date back to 1970, she admitted a butterfly was in her stomach. Since that show, her album Blue Smoke has stayed near the top of the album chart for eight weeks.

Live music is flourishing (繁荣) even as sales of recorded music have decreased greatly. In the past two years, it has grown by 15%. Live music lovers now spend more than l billion a year on tickets and almost half that on food, drink and the like. In the early 1990s, Britain had few festivals. But around 450 will take place this year. The festival season, once limited to July and August, now stretches until early autumn. On the first weekend of September, four festivals battle it out.

One reason was a change of the licensing laws, which made it easier to put on a show outdoors. The recession (经济衰退) helped too: Britons who could no longer afford foreign holidays found a weekend of camping in a muddy field more attractive.

Ageing crowds are another bonus. Older people have more cash to spend on festivals, and their demands have helped make festivals safer and more pleasant. Security at bigger festivals has grown much tighter. Fancy food and drinks have replaced cheap hot dogs and beer.

All this is changing the way the music industry works. Festivals are increasingly seen as a way for artists to attract fans. Newer names find them essential: Clean Bandit, a British band who brought out their first album this year, is performing at around 20 festivals this summer. And music managers are increasingly taking into account how successfully artists will perform at big outdoor festivals before deciding to sign them.

1What do we know about Dolly Parton?

A.She is an inexperienced performer.

B.Glastonbury used to be her favorite festival.

C.Glastonbury’s large audience made her nervous.

D.Her album Blue Smoke was an instant hit in the UK.

2Which of the following can indicate live music is flourishing in Britain?

A.The licensing laws have been changed.

B.The festival season lasts longer than before.

C.Ticket prices of music festivals have increased by 15%.

D.People are willing to spend more money on recorded music.

3What’s older people’s contribution to outdoor festivals?

A.Helping attract huger crowds of fans.

B.Spending more money on food and drink.

C.Offering music festivals financial support.

D.Urging organizers to offer a comfortable experience.

4Why are music festivals important to new artists?

A.They may change Britain’s music industry.

B.They can be effectively promoted at the festivals.

C.They can cooperate with some big-name artists.

D.They may make the acquaintance of music managers.
