A
In most situations,light helps us see.But nowadays humans are using so much of it that it is in fact a kind of pollution.
When it comes to look 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.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 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(影响) 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.
23.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
24.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?
A. The problems that light pollution has caused.
B. The reason why humans use too much light.
C.The ways that light pollution can be reduced.
D.The reason why fewer stars can be seen than before.
25.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.There are about 2, 500 stars in the sky.
B.Humans want to do nothing to reduce light pollution.
C.Sea turtles always get lost and die from tiredness.
D. Something has been done to reduce light pollution
B
In English, when someone is very angry, we say this person "sees red", just as a bull goes wild after seeing a red cloth. Now it turns out that "seeing red" is not just an expression for angry people,but also a scientific fact.
Researchers at North Dakota State University,in the US found that there is a connection between the color red and anger.Angry people really do "see red" where others don't. And a preference for red over blue may even suggest a more hostile personality.
The study includes a number of experiments. In the first, researchers asked a group of people which color they preferred,red or blue.Participants( 参加者) then did personality tests. Results showed that those who chose red tended to be more hostile.
During a second test, participants looked at faded images(褪色的图像) that could be regarded either red or blue. Those who saw red scored 25 percent higher on hostility in the personality test.
“Hostile people have hostile thoughts; hostile thoughts are connected with the color red,and therefore hostile people see this color more frequently, "the researchers told The Independent.
Finally, the participants were told about imaginary situations in which they could take different actions. Results showed that in these situations, red-preferring people were more likely to show that they would harm another person than those who preferred blue.
“An important message from this research is that color can send psychological(心理的) meaning,” the researchers said.
Where does this connection between the color red and anger come from? Scientists said it might be a matter of evolution(进化).In ancient times, poisonous(有毒的) plants and insects could cause wounds and bleeding. So it may have become instinctive(本能的) for people to link(联系) the color red with danger and threats.
26.What does the underlined word "hostile" in the second paragraph mean?
A. unfriendly
B. popular
C. sad
D.cheerful
27.Which of the following is NOT true about the study?
A. Participants were tested on seven different colors.
B. Participants did personality tests in the study.
C. Participants took three tests in the study
D.Blue-preferring people were less likely to harm others.
28. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. It tells us scientists' new findings.
B. It explains why red is connected to anger.
C. It tells us the importance of evolution.
D. It tells us the poor living conditions of ancient people.
C
Did you notice the number on the book in a library? That number is part of the system used
by libraries to organize their collections of books. And it's used in many countries. The number on each book tells you exactly what kind of book it is.This system is also useful for knowing where to go in the library to find a book.
In this system, there are ten large groups of books. Each of these groups has its own number, such as 100,200,etc.So,for example,any books about language will have a number 400.On the other hand, any books about history will have a number 900.So,a number in the hundreds place tells you what general group a book is in.If you find a book that has a number in the 500s, you know it is a book about science.
However, science is a big group, so the tens place is used to make a more detailed set of science books. For example,math books are included in the group of science books. Math books all have numbers between 510 and 519.Books about the history of Africa have numbers between 960 and 969.
The system uses the ones place to give a more exact(精确的) limit for the subject of a book.
A book on the history of South Africa will have the number 968.
As you can see, it is a simple system to use if you understand what the numbers mean. With this system, the library can keep its books well organized, and people can easily find the book that they want.
29. The number system is NOT used to______.
A.find where a book is
B. tell you the title of a book
C. tell you what kind of book a book is
anize the collections of books in libraries
30 .According to the reading, which sentence is TRUE?
A.The number on a book can't be bigger than 900.
B. There are ten big groups for books in this system.
C.History books can have any number between 500 and 900.
D.This system uses both numbers and letters for some books.
31.Which two numbers would indicate a book about language and a book about science?
A.439 and 493
B.439 and 568
C.530 and.560
D. 563 and 436
D
Want to take an out-of-this-world trip? Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic plans to make that possible. Beginning in 2009, people should have the opportunity to become space tourists, travelling at about3,000 mph to heights about 75 miles above Earth. Branson has high hopes for his latest plans. "It is just the start of what we believe will be a new age in the history of mankind(人类)-one day making the affordable exploration of space by human beings a real possibility, "he said.
At the start, though, the trip won't be cheap. Seats aboard Virgin's first craft-VSS Enterprise will cost about $200, 000. Prices could drop after the first hundred space flights. Though it costs much, more than 30,000 people-including celebrities(名人)Sigourney Weaver and Victoria Principal--have expressed interest in getting on board
People who don't have an extra $200,000 still have a chance to get a seat aboard the craft. A computer game contest and a reality television show are in the works. Those who can't afford a ticket will have a chance to win a seat.
Virgin is expected to be the first commercial (商业的) spacecraft. It will hold six passengers and two pilots. Passengers will be able to see the earth from many different viewpoints. The cabin(客舱)will include 15 floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing for views that extend(延伸)about 1,000 miles in any direction.
Passengers will have three days of preflight(航前) preparation. On the big day, the spacecraft will take off from the Mojave Spaceport in the California desert. The craft will rocket passengers into space at four times the speed of sound. The journey will last about 2.5 hours. Passengers will wear spacesuits and helmets(头盔).They will be able to float around the cabin and do somersaults( 空翻)during the five minutes of weightlessness they will experience in zero gravity. At the end of the flight, the craft will land on a runway.
32. Virgin Galactic could be______.
A. the engineer of the first commercial spacecraft

A. they will receive a three-day training course
B. they will wear spacesuits and helmets
C. they will take about $200, 000 with them

34. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage? 1
A.More than 30,000 people have got to travel in spacecraft.
B.Many people signed up for space travel though the ticket is expensive.
C.Those without much money could also go space travel without occupying (占据) the seats.

Why you should think big
If you have something valuable in mind, a service to offer, or an idea to develop, then you present it to everyone to increase its scope(范围). Why not make full use of it?
The fact is, when you have a strong enough vision (远见), you may have the courage. And then you simply have to pursue(追求) it, however crazy it might seem to others.
Remember that everything starts small
Rome wasn't builtin a day. Everything starts small, Scientists say that everything in the universe came from a smaller unit than you can possibly imagine, So it doesn't matter where you are at present, because from small beginnings come great things.
Think bigger by enlisting(争取) others
To think big, you need to see yourself as a small part of a greater whole. Enlist people who are better than you. If you're not the most organized person, don't just be unhappy about it; find someone who is better.
Big thinkers know their personal limitations(局限性). Gather people around you who can do what you can't do to make sure your dream grows.
Think big by focusing on future regrets(遗憾)
There is an old saying, "We regret not the things we did do, but the things we didn't." You'll never know how far it could go unless you see how far you can take something.
If you have big plans, just close your eyes. And strongly imagine how regretful you will be if you don't try or attempt properly.
Feel that it is your human duty to think big
It is a human duty to think and act big. Even if you are not successful at last, it is still valuable to think big.
