Week 6ThursdayTask 1：閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。(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(夜間活動的) species on this planet.Instead，we are diurnal creatures，with eyes adapted to living in the suns light.This is a basic evolutionary fact，even though most of us dont think of ourselves as diurnal beings.Yet its the only way to explain what weve done to the night：Weve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequencescalled light pollutionwhose 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.designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levelsand light rhythmsto which many forms of life，including ourselves，have adapted.Wherever human light spills into the natural world，some aspect of life is affected.In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars，leaving behind a vacant haze (霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark.Weve grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit nightdark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadows on Earthis wholly beyond our experience，beyond memory almost.Weve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country，when nothing could be further from the truth.Among mammals alone，the number of nocturnal species is astonishing.Light is a powerful biological force，and on many species it acts as a magnet(磁鐵)The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being “captured” by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms.Migrating at night，birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings.Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal，throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint，including their nighttime breeding choruses.Humans are no less trapped by light pollution than the frogs.Like most other creatures，we do need darkness.Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare，to our internal clockwork，as light itself.Living in a glare of our own making，we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritagethe light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night.In a very real sense，light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe，to forget the scale of our being，which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Waythe edge of our galaxyarching overhead.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文?，F(xiàn)如今人類使夜晚充滿了人造光線，使得夜晚不再黑暗，但這么做所造成的光污染的不好影響是巨大的，到了考慮這么做的后果的時候了。1According to the passage，human beings _Aprefer to live in the darknessBare used to living in the day lightCwere curious about the midnight worldDhad to stay at home with the light of the moon答案B細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段中的“Instead，we are diurnal creatures，with eyes adapted to living in the suns light.”可知，我們人類是白天活動的動物，習慣了在日光下生活。故答案為B。2What does “it” (Paragraph 1) most probably refer to?AThe night. BThe moon.CThe sky. DThe planet.答案A代詞指代題。it是代詞，指代前面提到的事物，而前面提到的是night，指用來照亮黑夜。3The writer mentions birds and frogs to _Aprovide examples of animal protectionBshow how light pollution affects animalsCcompare the living habits of both speciesDexplain why the number of certain species has declined答案B目的意圖題。第三段談到了光污染，后面的段落是對光污染影響的詳細說明，作者以鳥和青蛙為例來說明光污染對動物的影響。4It is implied in the last paragraph that _Alight pollution does harm to the eyesight of animalsBlight pollution has destroyed some of the world heritagesChuman beings cannot go to the outer spaceDhuman beings should reflect on their position in the universe答案D推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“In a very real sense，light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe.”可推斷出，我們人類應該反思我們所在宇宙中的身份地位。5What might be the best title for the passage?AThe Magic Light BThe Orange HazeCThe Disappearing Night DThe Rhythms of Nature答案C標題歸納題。整篇文章都在說明光污染給生物帶來的巨大影響，本來是寧靜、舒適的夜晚也被人類設計的燈光所影響。所以，標題應該是The Disappearing Night。Task 2：用英語簡要概述本文大意答案The passage introduces some damage light pollution causes to our daily life. Wherever human light spills into the natural world，some aspect of life is affected. It is time that human beings should reflect on their position in the universe.Task 3：詞匯積累1visible adj.看得見的2think of.as認為是3consequence n后果，結果4artificial adj.非天然的，人造的5leave behind留下6searchlight n探照燈7essential adj.基本的8internal adj.內部的9heritage n遺產10lose sight of看不見；忽略Task 4：攻克長難句1If 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(夜間活動的) species on this planet.分析：這是一個復合句，主句是we would go in darkness happily；If humans.是條件狀語從句；the midnight world.是獨立主格結構作狀語。2In a very real sense，light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the
