Scientists finally found the answer but

11、its not very pleasant. New science suggests a relationship between light pollution and the timing when trees produce buds, which signals the arrival of the spring season.Light pollution is defined by the Lighting Research Center as the unwanted consequence of outdoor lighting such as street lights.

12、Excessive (過多的) man-made light at night results in disturbed natural cycles, and also prevents the observation of stars and planets at night. But its effect on the environment goes beyond that.By studying some trees, researchers found out that trees that are more exposed to artificial lighting at ni

13、ght bud up to 7.5 days earlier than those at the natural nighttime setting. And they found out that light had a more significant effect than temperature when the buds came out. The early budding may cause problems for insects, which feed on leaves, and the birds which then feed on them in turn. Prof

14、essor Richard, who helped lead the research, explained that more than the budding of trees, the study implies the danger to the balance of the ecosystem. “At the moment, caterpillars (毛毛蟲) are timed to hatch to make the most of the opportunities to feed on freshly budded leaves, and birds hatch in t

15、ime to feed on the young caterpillar,” he said.Migratory (遷徙的) birds are also negatively affected by light pollution. The glare might confuse them and make them lose their flying sense. The phenomenon might explain why some birds accidentally knock into buildings.Such results stress the need to purs

16、ue studies that aim to measure the effect of light pollution. If the issue were left to continue, it is estimated that by 2100, spring would begin almost a full month earlier than it does today.1、What will happen if there is too much man-made light?APeoples eyesight will be damaged.BThe ecosystem wi

17、ll likely lose its balance.CNo stars or planets may be observed at night.DAnimals living habits may change suddenly.2、How does the early budding affect insects or plants?AIt will cause the rising number of insects.BIt could lead to trees growing fewer leaves.CIt may result in some insects going hung

18、ry.DIt might push insects to hatch more slowly.3、What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?AThe effect of light pollution is destructive.BThe spring of 2100 will become much longer.CLight pollution should be taken seriously.DA further study on light pollution is scheduled.4、What is

19、the suitable title for the passage?AWhy spring comes earlier in some citiesBWhy light pollution needs to be studiedCHow trees early budding takes placeDHow much light is “too much”22（8分）The organic food has gained a lot of popularity as they are being considered as healthier and tastier. A fair numb

20、er of people advocate a large-scale shift to organic farming from conventional agriculture. But this might not seem well-founded.Since the mid-19th century, conventional industrial agriculture has become incredibly efficient on a simple land to food basis. Conventional farming gets more and more cro

21、p per square foot of land, which can mean less wilderness needs to be transformed to farmland.To make farming more efficient, conventional agriculture uses a significant amount of synthetic fertilizer（合成肥料）each year, and all that nitrogen（氮）enables much faster plant growth. However, the cost is paid

22、 in vast polluted dead zones at the months of many of the worlds rivers, because much of the nitrogen ends up running off the soil and into the oceans. This also makes conventional farming one of the major threats to the environment.To weaken the environmental impact of agriculture, improve soil qua

23、lity as well as produce healthier foods, some farmers have turned to organic farming. Environmentalists have also welcomed organic food as better for the planet than the food produced by agricultural corporations. Organic practices - refusing artificial fertilizers and chemical pesticides are consid

24、ered far more sustainable. Sales of organic food rose 7.7% in 2010, up to $26.7 billionand people are making those purchases for their moral senses as much as their tongues.Yet a new meta-analysis in Nature does the math and comes to a hard conclusion: organic farming produces 25% fewer crops on ave

25、rage than conventional agriculture.In the Nature analysis, scientists performed an analysis of 66 studies comparing conventional and organic methods across 34 different crop species, from fruits to grains. They found that organic farming delivered a lower output for every crop type, though the diffe

26、rence varied widely. For crops like fruit trees, organic trailed（落后于）conventional agriculture by just 5%. Yet for major grain crops and vegetables all of which provide the worlds main calories conventional agriculture outperformed organics by more than 25%.What that means is that while organic farmi

27、ng may be more sustainable than conventional agriculture, there are trade-offs（此消彼長）with each. So an ideal global agriculture system may borrow the best from both systems rather than upholding merely organic or conventional practices.1、Whats the authors purpose of writing the passage?ATo compare two

28、 types of farming.BTo criticize conventional agriculture.CTo discuss the development of farming.DTo argue for a realistic agriculture system.2、What do we know about conventional farming?AIt produces more crops with fewer fertilizers.BIt achieves efficiency at a huge cost to the environment.CIf offer

29、s a long-term solution to global demand for food.DIt performs far better for each crop type than organic farming.3、What does the author most probably agree with?AEmploying organic farming to plant rice.BAdopting organic practices to grow potato.CUsing conventional methods to plant cabbage.DApplying

30、conventional farming to growing apple.4、Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point（次要點） C: ConclusionA BC D23（8分） On a flight from Dallas, Texas, to Cincinnati, Ohio, to visit a friend in 2008, event planner Paige Chenault daydreame

31、d about the grand birthday parties shed throw for her daughter one day. (Paige was five months pregnant at the time.) Then, flipping through a magazine, she saw a photo of an impoverished Haitian boy, skinny. “I thought, this kid has nothing,” Paige says.The image stayed with her, andshe resolved to

32、 do something to help. “I decided I would use my talents to throw birthday parties for homeless kids,” Paige says. For the next four years, Paige and her husband, Colin, took time out from parenthood to visit shelters to determine how best to pull off the parties.Finally, in January 2012, Paige laun

33、ched theBirthday Party Project, a nonprofit organization, and recruited friends and family to help decorate Dallass 75-occupant Family Gateway Shelter with balloons and streamers, celebrating the birthdays of 11 boys and girls, with 60 more homeless kids in attendance. “That first party was better t

34、han I could have ever imagined,” says Paige.Now Paige and her staff of three paid employees work with regional volunteers to plan monthly themed parties at 15 shelters across the country, some of which house abused or abandoned kids. Each child celebrating a birthday that month gets a$30 gift, a dec

35、orative place mat, and an individual cake or cupcake.One of Paiges favorite parts of each party is when the kids make a wish and blow out the candles. “They rarely get a chance to dream big,” says Paige.Her daughter, Lizzie, now seven, often helps out at the parties. Paige says, “The one thing Ive a

36、lways wanted is for my kid to be generous.”1、What was it that made Paige want to help the homeless children?AA flight from Dallas to Ohio.BHer daughters birthday.CThe photo of a Haitian boy.DHer talent for throwing parties.2、What does the underlined word “impoverished” mean?AadorableBpoorCtalentedDd

Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actuall

39、y help save your life in case of a plane emergency.The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one thats completely dark would require some time fo

40、r our eyes to focus and see the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”The phen

41、omenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑點) as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 minutes to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, whic

42、h is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” time since you havent been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (熒光燈) all flight.Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergen

43、cy lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape.” So next

44、time a pilot dims the lights, just know its for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky.1、The lights are turned down before takeoff to help passengers_.Atake a short breakBescape in time of emergencyCcreate a warm atmosphereDadapt their eyes to the brigh

45、t environment2、What is one of the roles of shortening “dark adaptation” time?ASlowing down the landing. BAdjusting the plane lights.CKeeping passengers calm.

47、ould use personal computers to break into telephone company computers and make free, long-distance telephone calls. These young computer talents soon gained the name hackers.Police arrested a few hackers, but many went on to even more complex hacking. One of them was arrested for making illegal tele

48、phone calls and later he used a phone to change a police officers credit records to get back at the officer for arresting him. He also used a computer to change his college records to give himself better grades.As hackers gained experience, they began invading computers at banks, airlines and other

49、businesses. In one case a hacker instructed an airline s computer to give him free airplane tickets.The U.S. government is worried that hackers may break into its networks of defense computers. The governments secrets are easily attacked because thousands of government computers are connected by tel

50、ephone lines that hackers can get into.In November 1988, a college student entered a U.S. Defense Department computer network called Arpanet. The hacker injected a computer program that made copies of itself throughout Arpanet. Some hackers use viruses to destroy all the data in a computer. But in t

51、his case, government officials shut down the network before the program reached every computer in the system. Shutting down the system angered many researchers who were using the computers. The hacker turned himself in to the police and he was charged with a crime.The incident put the spotlight on c

52、omputer hacking in the United States. Many companies have hired experts to protect their computers from hackers, and many computer experts now advise companies on how to protect their computers.The U.S. government believes foreign governments have hired hackers to try to break into top-secret defens

53、e computers.Experts disagree over whether a computer network can ever be safe from hacking. But in the future, some of the most outstanding minds in the U.S. will be working to frustrate the attempts of computer hackers.1、What did the first hackers do?AThey broke into government computers.BThey dest

54、royed airplane ticket systems.CThey played computer games.DThey made free phone calls.2、Why can U.S. government computers be easily hacked into?AThey have no defense systems.BThey are connected by telephone lines.CThey are partly accessible to the public.DThey lack complex processing programs.3、What

55、 happened to the government computers in November 1988?AThey lost all of the important data.BThey were shut down by researchers.CThey were invaded by a college student.DThey got totally ruined by a computer program.4、What did companies decide to do to protect their computer systems?AEmploy computer

56、talents.BBuild secret defense systems.CAsk the government for help.DCollect and analyze the data of hackers.第三部分 語言知識運用（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)（每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項26（30分）I was out late watching a movie with a friend in GeorgetownBy the time the 1 ended，it was 2 amWe walked to m
