55、ou ever wonder why trees begin to bud (发芽) earlier in some cities? Scientists finally found the answer but 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 defi
56、ned by the Lighting Research Center as the unwanted consequence of outdoor lighting such as street lights. Excessive (过多的) 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.
57、By studying some trees, researchers found out that trees that are more exposed to artificial lighting at night bud up to 7.5 days earlier than those at the natural night-time setting. And they found out that light had a more significant effect than temperature when the buds came out. The early buddi
58、ng may cause problems for insects, which feed on leaves, and the birds which then feed on them in turn. Professor Richard French Constant, 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, caterp
59、illars (毛毛虫) are timed to hatch to make the most of the opportunities to feed on freshly budded leaves, and birds hatch in time to feed on the young caterpillar,” he said.Migratory (迁徙的) birds are also negatively affected by light pollution. The glare might confuse them and make them lose their flyi
60、ng sense. The phenomenon might explain why some birds accidentally knock into buildings.Such results stress the need to pursue 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 t
61、han it does today. 1.What will happen if there is too much man-made light?A.Peoples eyesight will be damaged.B.The ecosystem will likely lose its balance.C.No stars or planets may be observed at night.D.Animals living habits may change suddenly.2.How does the early budding affect insects or plants?A
62、.It will cause the rising number of insects. B.It could lead to trees growing fewer leaves.C.It may result in some insects going hungry.D.It might push insects to hatch more slowly.3.What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?A.The effect of light pollution is destructive. B.The spri
63、ng of 2100 will become much longer.C.Light pollution should be taken seriously.D.A further study on light pollution is scheduled.4.The author writes the passage mainly to explain .A.why spring comes earlier in some cities B.why light pollution needs to be studiedC.how trees early budding takes place

65、 turn.”(早发芽可能会给以树叶为食的昆虫造成困难,继而也给以昆虫为食的鸟儿造成困难。)可知答案为C项。3.C推理判断题。本题题干意为:在最后一段作者想告诉我们什么?最后一段介绍了光污染的严重性并呼吁人们加以重视,故答案为C项。4.A推理判断题。本题题干意为:作者写此文主要是为了解释什么?文章开始作者以城市中一些树木发芽早这一现象引出光污染这一话题,中间作者介绍了光污染导致的一系列问题,最后一段最后一句作者总结道:“如果这个问题仍然存在,估计到2100年,春天就会比现在早到近1个月。”由此可推知作者写此文章的目的是解释一些城市中春天来得要早些的原因,故答案为A项。Passage 8My f

76、为:作者决定与Jennifer绝交的原因是。根据前四段内容尤其是“struggle” “left out” 等关键词可知在作者和Jennifer的友谊中她没有被平等对待,感情受到了伤害,因此有了绝交的想法。此外,文章倒数第二段最后一句It doesnt hurt my feelings or make me feel alone.也从反面说明了这一点。4.D推理判断题。本题题干意为:从文中我们可以推断出什么?开始时作者觉得她和Jennifer是最好的朋友,但作者却被 Jennifer 忽略因而厌倦了这种单方面付出的友情,后来作者交了更多的朋友之后才发现周围有很多能够相互平等对待的朋友,也就慢慢
77、地从中得到了快乐。由此可知答案为D项。高级语块be convinced that.确信be mad at sb.生某人的气长难句It was tough at first, but I found many girls whom Jennifer had classified as “moody”or “mean”to be the sweetest, friendliest people in the world.开始时很难,但我发现许多被Jennifer归为“喜怒无常的”或“小气的”女孩子是世界上最可爱、最友好的人。本句中whom Jennifer had classified as “m
