25、At night, look up at the sky. How many stars do you see? If you live in the country, bright stars will fill the sky. If you live in the city, on the other hand, you might not see any stars. What’s happening? Bright lights from the city are lighting the sky, making the stars unseen. This is light pollution.
Light can also come into city homes, like an uninvited guest. Sometimes, a visitor to a big city can’t sleep because of the bright signs outside his or her window. Darkness helps us sleep. Without darkness, we lie awake and can’t sleep, which may lead to serious health problems.
Living things need darkness. It’s part of the natural 24-hour cycle. Trees and plants that are too close to artificial light grow in strange ways and die quickly. Animals become puzzled(困惑的) when light and dark are changed. For example, night animals might think it’s day when it’s night.
Finally, using too many lights consumes(消耗) energy and money. The huge lights for all-night parking lots are too bright and unnecessary. Every city spends millions of dollars to light its thousands of buildings and streets, and much of this lighting is just to make the city look beautiful, rather than to serve a certain purpose.
True, we feel safer in the light, but our eyes are able to see a little in darkness. And we don’t need to light the whole city just to create a beautiful night view. We should try to turn the lights off to save the earth and all the living things from light pollution.
【1】Why can’t people see many stars in the city at night?
A.The city has many high buildings.
B.The living things in the city need darkness.
C.The city spends too much money on the lights.
D.The bright lights in the city make the stars unseen.
【2】What does the underlined word “artificial” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Man-made.
B.Medical.
C.Weak.
D.Wild.
【3】What result may the light pollution bring?
①People may have health problem. ②People can not see in the darkness.
③Night animals may become puzzled. ④It consumes much energy and money.
A.①②③
B.①②④
C.①③④
D.②③④
【4】Which question could best help us find the writer’s purpose?
A.Did the writer tell us a story?
B.Did the writer make an advertisement?
C.Did the writer want us to do something?
D.Did the writer express a kind of feeling?
【5】What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Living Things Need Darkness

Even kids know that we should wait for the traffic light to turn green before crossing a road, but not everybody follows this basic rule.
“Chinese style road crossing” has become a hot expression recently. Chinese people “cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd”, said a post on Sina Weibo.
A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road at a crossing in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.
Many people say that they jaywalk(乱闯马路)because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings from 2008 to 2010. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore the light when the waiting time is longer than they can stand,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.
However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that half of the respondents(调查对象) believe that people jaywalk mainly because they disregard rules. “I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first.” Wrote “Qixiaoe” on Weibo.
Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum(最大量) can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.
But calling on people to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.
【1】Which of the following is the “Chinese style road crossing”?
A. To wait for the traffic light to turn green.
B. To cross a road slowly.
C. To cross roads without looking at traffic lights.
D. To follow the basic traffic lights.
【2】What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “ignore”?
A. 忽视 B. 轻视 C. 动摇 D. 恪守
【3】How long will Chinese people wait to cross the road before they lose patience?
A. Less than one minute.
B. Less than one and a half minutes.
C. About five minutes.
D. More than ten minutes.
【4】Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on Sina Weibo?
A. Because there are too many people on the road.
B. Because the red light lasts too long.
C. Because people don’t pay much attention to rules.
D. Because people have less patience.
【5】The writer suggests that we should to solve the problem of jaywalking.
A. punish the jaywalkers
B. disregard the traffic rules
C. reduce the time of red lights
D. call on people to obey the traffic lights.
27、How do money problems influence our social life? Do we simply stop going out and enjoying ourselves? And, if we do stop going out, are there any other ways to party?
Last Christmas, Yorkshire Bank, UK did a survey to see how people were planning to celebrate the festive season when they had not much money to spend. They found that eight out of ten Britons preferred an invitation to a house party to a night out in a bar or club.
So, the question is, how can we throw a party without spending all our money? Easy just read our “hot tips”:
Hot Tip #1 — Careful planning
“It’s all in the planning,” claim party experts. If you plan the number of guests and the menu with prices in mind, it won’t be expensive. Remember, less is more — the fewer guests you invite the lower your costs will be. Equally, if you hold the party in your own home, if you buy a few candles and simple decorations, you’ll be able to create a bar scene in your own front room.
Hot Tip #2 — Shop intelligently
One of the biggest costs is the food and drink. If you shop efficiently, you will spend less money on them. In big supermarkets, you often have “three for the price of two” food offers. You can also pick up alcohol (酒), people won’t require a three course meal — a simple spread of crisps, olives and dips (调味酱).
Hot Tip #3一Caring is sharing
Don’t be scared to ask your guests to bring something. If you invite close friends, they’ll be happy to contribute. For example, you could ask someone to bring some snacks and someone else to bring cups. After all, the idea is to get your nearest and dearest together in honour of friendship and good times.
So what are you waiting for? Find an excuse to celebrate and start sending out those invitations. But remember, save yourself some money, get creative and don’t do everything yourself.
【1】The survey was done to find out ________.
A.where people could shop efficiently on Christmas
B.what stopped people going out and having fun
C.how people without much money celebrated Christmas
D.why Britons wanted to have a night out in a bar or club
【2】Yorkshire Bank surveyed 1000 people, how many of them preferred a house party?
A.8.
B.18.
C.80.
D.800.
【3】According to the hot tips, what should we do for a party with less money?
A.Invite as many friends as you can.
B.Ask a friend to bring some snacks.
C.Prepare a three-course meal.
D.Find an excuse to ask for help.
【4】In which part of a newspaper can we probably find this article?
A.Advice page.
B.Shopping tips.
C.Sports and Health.
D.Fashion and Life.
