15.As the population of the planet increases,so does the number of homes,businesses,parking lots,schools,airports and roadways.All these structures use electricity and need to be lighted.Humans demand these lights.They want their homes more comfortable and they want their streets safe.The problem is that researchers are finding that all the light is having a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well.
Less than 10years ago I drove to a thinly populated section of my town,lay down in the middle of the road and watched an attractive meteor shower (流星雨).The area was short of homes,street lights and traffic.If I did that today,I wouldn't be able to see the meteor shower as well.Due to the increase in street lights,I would surely be run over by a car.
Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as carbon dioxide pollution.If you've ever taken a flight at night,the view is beautiful,but you must remember that all the light you see wastes electricity.The crew of the space shuttles see an even bigger picture of how extensive the wasted electricity is worldwide.
One of the saddest parts of light pollution is that most of it is unnecessary and most of the outdoor light that we use is wasted.One only needs to look at a row of street lights to see how much of the light shines upwards and lights the sky:a total waste of electricity.
Besides,somewhere electricity needs to be produced,and the production of electricity creates pollution by releasing greenhouse gases.This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.
Scientists are also studying the effects of light pollution on wildlife.Thousands of birds die each year when they crash into highly lighted buildings,as they become puzzled by the light.It has been long known that tiny baby sea turtles become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.
Fortunately,light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative effect.Following some guidelines and a little searching on Google can give you many ideas on how to reduce your contribution to light pollution.

32.It is implied in Paragraph 3that the best way to deal with light pollution isB.
A.reducing the output of the lights                       
B.avoiding the use of unnecessary lighting
C.educating people about light pollution             
D.inventing environmentally-friendly lights
33.Which of the following is the effect of light pollution?C
A.Many animals species have died out.
B.More traffic accidents happen every day.
C.The air we breathe may be polluted.
D.It is much easier for us to watch meteor showers.
34.What can be inferred from the text?D
A.We are almost at a loss how to deal with light pollution.
B.Global warming results in light pollution in some way.
C.Astronauts can't see clearly in space nowadays.

A.Helpful tips for surfing the Internet.
B.approaches to decreasing light pollution.
C.Benefits of searching on Google.
D.More bad effects of light pollution.
16.Wise compromise is one of the basic principle and virtue of the British.
  If a continental greengrocer asks 14 shillings (or crowns,or francs) for a bunch of radishes,and his customer offer 2,and finally they strike a bargain agreeing on 6 shilling,this is just the low continental habit of bargaining; on the other hand if the British dock-workers or any other workers claim a rise of 4 shillings per day,and the employer first flatly refuse even a penny,but after a six week's strike they agree to a rise of 2 shilling a day-that is yet another proof of the British genius for compromise.Bargaining is a hateful habit; compromise is one of the highest human virtues-the difference between the two is that the first is practiced on the continent,the latter in Great Britain.
  The genius for compromise has another aspect,too.It has a tendency to unite together everything that is bad.English club life,for instance,unites the duties of social life with the boredom of being alone.An average English house combines all the curses of civilizations with the ups and downs of life in the open.It is all right to have windows,but you must do not have double windows because double would indeed stop the wind from blowing right into the room,and after all,you must be fair and give the wind a chance.It is all right to have central heating in an English home,except in the bathroom,because that is the only place where you are naked and wet at the same time,and you must give British germs a fair chance.The open fire is an accepted,indeed a traditional institution.You sit in front of it and your face is hot while your back is cold.It is a fair compromise between two extremes and settles the problem of how to burn and catch cold at the same time.
  English spelling is a compromise between documentary expressions and an delicate code-system; spending 3 hours in a queue in front of a cinema is a compromise between entertainment and asceticism(苦行主义); the English weather is a fair compromise between rain and fog; to employ an English charwoman is a compromise between have a dirty house or cleaning it yourself; Yorkshire pudding is a compromise between a pudding and the county of Yorkshire.

A.Serious.

14.Joshua Benjamin Sumsion,a young driver,who was not wearing his glasses when he hit and killed a pedestrian has been spared jail.The young guy was 19when he struck Adelaide man Shahid Talpur on States Road at Morphett Vale in 2011,just after sunset.The young driver tried to make a turn but the impact of the crash threw Mr Talpur across the road and he was struck by at least two more vehicles.
Sumsion admitted guilty to causing death by dangerous driving.The victim had lived close by and his wife was extremely painful when she found out the accident victim on the road was her husband.Judge Geoffrey Muecke accepted Sumsion,now 22,was very regretful and suspended(延缓) a jail sentence of two years and nine months."I'm satisfied that good enough reasons exist in your case to suspend that sentence,"he said."Those reasons include the circumstances of you causing accident,the background to you not wearing your glasses on the evening of Mr Talpur's death,your youth,your otherwise good character and the fact that I am convinced you are truly regretful."Sumsion was banned from driving for 10years.
Judge Muecke said Sumsion had complained of trouble driving at night,but didn't admit the state of his eyesight.He had suffered through a series of unlucky events since 1999and was in low spirit at the time of the crash.Those events included a head injury and he"had difficulty accepting yet another disability",the judge said."You began to see yourself as physically weak and  vulnerable,"he said."It was more than your coping skills could physically deal with."
He said Sumsion now accepted the need to wear his glasses.A relative told the court Sumsion had been growing into a"wonderful young man"but since the accident had always kept a distance from friends and family.

39.When was Sumsion born?A

19.Speaking two languages can actually help offset(抵消) some effects of aging on the brain,a new study has found.
Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cognitive(认知的) task to another,something that's known to take longer for older adults,said lead researcher,Brian Gold,a neuroscientist at the University of Kentucky.
Gold's team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults,knowing they would find slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies.However,they found that older adults who spoke two languages were able to switch mental activities faster than those didn't.The study only looked at life-long bilinguals,defined in study as people who had spoken a second language daily since they were at least 10years old.
Gold and his team asked 30people,either bilingual or monolingual,to have a series of tests.They found that bilingual people were not only able to switch tasks faster,they had different brain activity than their monolingual peers.
Kristina called bilingualism"a beautiful natural experiment",because people grow up speaking two languages,and studies have shown that they get certain cognitive benefits from switching between languages and determining which to respond with based on what's going on around them.
Gold said he grew up in Montreal,where he spoke French at school and English at home,prompting relatives to question whether his French language immersion(专心)would somehow hinder his ability to learn English.
"Until very recently,learning a second language in childhood was thought of as dangerous,"he said."Actually,it's beneficial."

29.What's the main idea of the passage?A
A.Researchers found that bilingual people can slow down the speed or aging on the brain and respond fast.
B.Researchers found that bilingual people respond slowly.
C.Researchers found that speaking two languages is important.
D.Researchers found that bilingual people are great.
30.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?C
A.Older bilinguals can't respond faster in mind.
B.Young bilinguals can respond faster in mind than those monolinguals.
C.Older adults speaking a second language daily since they were at least 10years old can respond faster than those who don't.
D.Bilingual children respond slower in mind than those monolinguals.
31.In Gold's opinion,learning a second language in childhood isD.
A.dangerous to children                 
B.not beneficial to children
C.dangerous but beneficial to children       
D.not dangerous but beneficial to children.
