(2015·浙江，C)If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars，we would go in darkness happily，the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动的) species on this planet。
Instead，we are diurnal creatures，with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light。
This is a basic evolutionary fact,even though most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal beings.Yet it's the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night：We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light。
The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences—called light pollution—whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study。
Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design，which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky。

(2013·新课标全国Ⅱ，A)Doctors are known to be terrible pilots.They don't listen because they already know it all.I was lucky：I became a pilot in1970，almost ten years before I graduated from medical school.I didn't realize then，but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon.I loved flying.As I flew bigger，faster planes，and in worse weather，I learned about crew resource management(机组资源管理)，or CRM，a new idea to make flying safer.It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result，regardless of positions.I first read about CRM in1980.Not long after that，an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather.The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready.The attending doctor was flying；I was safety pilot.He was so busy because of the bad turn，he had forgotten to put the landing gear(起落架)down.He was a better pilot—and my boss—so it felt unusual to speak up.But I had to：Our lives were in danger.I put aside my uneasiness and said，“We need to put the landing gear down now！”That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM，and I've used it in the operating room ever since.CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up.It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite，the doctor doesn't overreact，which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again.So when I'm in the operating room，I ask for ideas and help from others.Sometimes they're not willing to speak up.But I hope that if I continue to encourage them，someday someone will keep me from“landing_gear_up”．【语篇解读】作者通过自己做飞行员的经历告诉我们在必要的时候要勇于发表自己的观点，尤其是医生和飞行员，这样才能避免事故。

(2016·四川，C)In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest，there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people.Surprisingly，these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs.And yet，people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946.In theory，they should live by the French law.However，their remote locations mean that the French Law is often ignored or unknown，thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the efforts of a Frenchman from Paris called Gin.Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area，which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest，with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital，Cayenne.“I have a special love for the French Guianese people.I have worked there on and off for almost ten years，”says Gin.“I've been able to keep firm friendships with them.Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment.I don't see it as a lawless land.But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life，” continues Gin.“I prefer to work in black and white，which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time.These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for.These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic，which brings with it not only necessary state welfare，but also alcoholism，betrayal and even suicide.【语篇解读】法属圭亚那是法国领土的一部分，那里由一套单独适用该地的“法律”机制在运行，而这套规则并不是大家所看到的由法国统一颁布的法律。

(2015·天津，C)One day when I was 12，my mother gave me an order：I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer.This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.In the library，I found my way into the “Children's Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random.The cover of a book caught my eye.It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him.I never forgot my beagle.There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical(相同的) to my dog.I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover.My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Beagle w ith a Plan.Unknowingly，I had read the title.Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos.I read very，very slowly with difficulty.Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home.That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book.At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together.My mother's call returned me to the real world.I suddenly realized something：I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book.Everyone knew I could not read.But I had read it.Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous”(奇迹般的) experience that summer，but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.And years later，she was proud that her son had readthousands of books，was awarded a PhD in literature，and authored his own books，articles，poetry and fiction.The power of the words has held.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过自己成功的经历来说明读书可以矫正阅读困难的毛病。

Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored（监控) in different ways,researchers are discovering new rules.By tracking people's e.mails and online posts，scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The ‘if it bleeds' rule works for mass media," says Jonah Berger，a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.“They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling.But when you share a story with your friends，you care a lot more how they react。

(2015·陕西，B)When the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life，she did what comes naturally.The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and，being a city animal，lost both her sheep and her sense of direction.Then she ran along the edge of a cliff(悬崖) and fell 100 feet，bouncing off a rock into the sea.Her owner Mike Holden panicked and called the coastguard of Cornwall，who turned up in seconds.Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.Three days later，a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall.Mr.Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead.He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the next two weeks，the Holdens were heartbroken.Then，one day，the phone rang and Steve Tregear，the coastguard of Cornwall，asked Holden if he would like his dog back.A birdwatcher，armed with a telescope，found the pet sitting desperately on a rock.While he sounded the alarm，a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的) but had survived by drinking water from a fresh stream at the base of the cliff.She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge.“The dog was very thin and hungry，” Steve Tregear said.“It was a very lucky dog.She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water，” he added.It was，as Mr.Holden admitted，“a minor miracle(奇迹)”．【语篇解读】一只狗追赶一只羊，不慎落入悬崖。

(2016·全国Ⅲ，C)If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around.It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month.The day itself is on October 21，but since it has caught on，events now spread out over most of October around Britain.Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see，and often taste，a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets，it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence，such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.Although it doesn't taste of anything special，it's still worth a try，as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette，but you'll need a warm，sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it，so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.At the events，you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions，and because these are family affairs，children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit，including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园)．If you want to have a real orchard experience，try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale，near Faversham in Kent.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英国的苹果节。

(2015·四川，D)Their cheery song brightens many a winter's day.But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much.Robins are singing all night—as well as during the day，British-based researchers say.David Dominoni，of Glasgow University，said that light from street lamps，takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clocks，leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.Dr Dominoni，who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns，said lack of sleep could put the birds' health at risk.His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab，it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day.And the more birds are exposed to light，the more active they are at night.He told people at a conference，“There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing.Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy.So by increasing their song output，there might be some costs of energy.”And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light.Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal.Dr Dominoni said，“In Glasgow where I live，gulls are a serious problem.I have people coming to me saying ‘You are the bird expert.Can you help us kill these gulls？’．During the breeding(繁殖) season，between April and June，they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep.”Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution，other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.However，some birds thrive(兴旺) in noisy environments.A study from California Polytechnic State University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery.It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌) fleeing to quieter areas.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一项调查研究的结果，由于人类制造的光线问题，越来越多的鸟类如知更鸟在晚上也会唱歌，这极大地影响了鸟的健康。

(2015·广东，D)It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction.Each class had unique characteristics.In recent years，many writers have begun to speak of the ‘decline of class’ and ‘classless society’ in Britain.And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too early.A recent wide-ranging study of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in a particular class；73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society；and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences.Thus，class may not be culturally and politically obvious，yet it remains an important part of British society.Britain seems to have a love of stratification.One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent.The words a person speaks tell her or his class.A study of British accents during the 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice.Most people said this accent sounded ‘educated’ and ‘soft’．The accents placed at the bottom in this study，on the other hand，were regional(地区的)city accents.These accents were seen as ‘common’ and ‘ugly’．However，a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least.This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years，however，young upper middle-class people in London，have begun to adopt some regional accents，in order to hide their class origins.This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed.However，the 1995 pop song ‘Common People’ puts forward the view that though a middleclass person may ‘want to live like common people’ they can never appr eciate the reality of a working-class life.【语篇解读】作者在文章中给我们介绍了两项调查，通过两项调查的结果我们可以看到，在英国社会里，阶级划分没有消失，它是英国社会重要的一部分。

(2014·新课标全国Ⅰ，D)As more and more people speak the global languages of English，Chinese，Spanish，and Arabic，other languages are rapidly disappearing.In fact，half of the 6,000－7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century，according to the United Nations Educational，Scientific，and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)．In an effort to prevent language loss，scholars from a number of organizations—UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin，a scientist at the Macmillan Center，Yale University，who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas，is following in that_tradition.His recently published book，A Grammar of Thangmi w ith an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture，grows out of his experience living，working and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin，who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India，Nepal，Bhutan，and China.But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials—including photographs，films，tape recordings，and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now，through the two organizations that he has founded—the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project—Turin has started a campaign to make such documents，found in libraries and stores around the world，available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected.Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet，Turin notes，the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.【语篇解读】本文叙述了学者们正在努力记录濒临消失的语言和文化，来挽救这些语言。

And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces.They are potential powers we possess：energy，skill，sound judgment，creative ideas—even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly，those mighty forces are spiritual ones.But they are more important than physical ones.A college classmate of mine，Tim，was an excellent football player，even though he weighed much less than the average player.“In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player，who had nothing but me between him and our goal line，”said Tim.“I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet(子弹)—and stopped him cold.”Boldness—a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight.But it can be taught to children and developed in adults.Confidence builds up.Surely，there will be setbacks(挫折) and disappointments in life；boldness in itself is no guarantee of success.But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So，always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you'll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。
