Standing in the starlight under the Milky Way,the night sky is one of the most incredible wonders many of us have not seen which is under threat due to the constant march of human progress and consequent light pollution.
Below are some of my favorite dark sky destinations around the world.
■Aoraki Mackenzie Dark Sky Reserve,New Zealand
Aoraki Mackenzie Dark Sky Reserve is one of the best places in the country to view the night sky.Comprised of Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park Visitor Centre and the Mackenzie Basin, the Dark Sky Reserve was certified in 2012 to continue protecting the dark skies in the area.
Stargazing(观星)enthusiasts should plan a visit to Mt.John Observatory,tours to which must be booked in advance.
■The Wild Atlantic Way,Ireland
Most visitors road-trip Ireland s western Wild Atlantic Way to explore beyond hot spots like Dublin and Cork,but the route is also fast becoming a great region for stargazing,thanks to the efforts of local communities along the Way.
If planning a trip,keep in mind that Ireland does have wet months where overcast skies are more likely to affect your stargazing prospects.
■Wadi Rum,Jordan
Wadi Rum is also sometimes ealled the"Valley of the Moon,"though you're more likely to compare it to Mars if you visit.Made famous for its otherworldly landscapes in movies like Prometheus,Star Wars:
Rogue One and The Martian, Wadi Rum³s towering red rock formations are extremely interesting to explore by day-and offer protection from any distant light pollution once the sun sets.
Stargazing in Wadi Rum is a breathtaking experience,and reminds us how our ancestors experienced the night sky for thousands of years.
21.What might be a disadvantage of stargazing in Ireland?
A.Conservation efforts. B.Heavy tourism.
C.Customer service. D.Local climate.
22.What sets Wadi Rum apart from other dark sky destinations?

When I was a kid,if someone told me that I would grow up to become a published author and founder of a youth literacy (读写能力)foundation,I would have laughed and kept walking. Even now when I see the title of my latest picture book,My Very Fauorite Book in the Whole Wide World,I shake my head,not quite believing that book has my name on it.But the truth is,this story comes from my own persona experience.
It took me a very long time to find my personal reading voice.In Valdosta,Ga.,where I grew up,my community promoted two pathways to a better life for little boys like me:being an athlete and being an entertainer. I was no different than the other kids,so I did what felt natural:Play football and overlook school. School presented challenges every day and so did football practice, but overcoming physical adversity (逆境) was on trend with my neighborhood's culture. Reading books not so much.
Fortunately,I went to college.That's where my reading struggles really reared their ugly head.Trips to the grocery store were stressful because there was so much reading involved in the simple act of buying food.I would misread labels and grab the wrong items.Once,I picked up apple sauce thinking it was apple slices.I didn't notice my mistake until I got home and realized that it was my inability to understand the differences in the wording on the labels that caused the mistake.I realized that I needed to make an important decision.If I wanted to be a better version of me,I had to become a stronger reader.
I joined a book club and read every free moment I had. My journey with reading also created a desire in me to inspire others who struggle with reading.So I started a nonprofit, Share the Magic Foundation,trying to transform the lives of children living in underserved communities through literacy.
24.What does the author think of his new book?
A.It's beyond his expectation. B.It's helpful for youth literacy.
C.It³s full of humor and wisdom. D.It's an exact record of his early life.
25.What was the root reason for the author³s failure to find his reading voice?
A.The influence of his community. B.His dream to be an entertainer.
C.The challenges he met in study. D.His preference for football.
26.What does the underlined phrase “reared their ugly head"in Paragraph 3mean?
A.Changed. B.Concluded. C.Surfaced. D.Disappeared.
27.Which of the following best describes the author?
A.Reflective and warm-hearted. B.Persuasive and absent-minded.
C.Creative and stubborn. D.Ambitious and cautious.
C
Have you ever suddenly developed an appetite from a passing glance at a freeway billboard featuring a brightly colored cheeseburger, or decided to step into a candy or ice cream store displaying a window full of lively shades and hues (色调)of sweet treats?If so,you are in good company. Unless we are medically restricted or strictly dieting,we are not likely to resist inviting fare simply because we recognize the lack of nutritional value.
Devina Wadhera and Elizabeth D.Capaldi-Phillips in A Review of Visual Cues Associated with Food recognize the impact of sensory cues (信号)on food consumption and enjoyment, and the potential they have to promote healthy eating behavior. They cite previous research in providing some interesting examples of the visual impact of different color schemes (方案)on taste and food enjoyment.They note that pink food on a white plate was considered sweeter and more flavorful than the same food on a black plate.Apparently, we consume with more of our senses than we realize. So given the rainbow of colors around us when faced with so many appealing food choices, is there any way to control our appetite?Thankfully, some research says yes.
Oliver Genschow demonstrated that when it comes to eating less colors impact consumption. They specifically researched the effect of the color red.They found that people ate fewer pretzels when using a red plate,as opposed to white or blue,and drank less from a red cup than a blue cup. They suggest that the color red reduces food and drink intake by functioning as a stop signal.
But when it comes to healthy eating,instead of putting on a pair of sunglasses to block the inviting hues of food cues,consider the value of discipline.Healthy eating involves intentional choices,not mindless responses to sensory cues. And before you invest in many red tableware to slim down,remember that what goes onto those plates is much more important.
28.What may be a major reason for us to refuse eye-catehing food?
A.The shortage of nutrition. B.The rich color of fine foods.
C.The doctor's instructions. D.Advertisements everywhere.
29.What might be dealt with in A Reuiew of Visual Cues Associated uith Food?
A.Benefits of different color schemes.
B.Interesting examples of food service.
C.Potentials to promote food consumption.
D.Effects of sensory cues on eating behavior.
30.What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A.Follow the sensory response. B.Make food choices sensibly.
C.Wear sunglasses to block colors. D.Avoid colorful food intentionally.
31.What is the best title for the text?
A.How People can Control Their Appetite.
B.How People are Tricked by Color Schemes.
C.How Colors Impact Food Appeal and Appetite.
D.How Bright Colors Make Food More Appealing.
D
Small-scale fisheries supply many people with food.Almost all of those in this trade rely on gillnets(刺网)to trap fish. But gillnets trap other things,for example,endangered animals such as turtles;dangerous ones,such as Humboldt squid; and ones that are both endangered and dangerous,such as several types of sharks. Everyone involved would be better off if this did not happen.
Building on studies done both by himself and by others,to try to avoid the accidental netting of turtles,Jesse Senko,a marine-conservation biologist at Arizona State University,has been investigating the idea of fitting LEDs(发光二极管)to nets to avoid netting other unwanted by-catch without discouraging target animals.And,as he reports in Current Biology, it seems to work.
Dr.Senko and his colleagues set up an experiment in the Gulf of Ulloa,in Mexico,in which they cooperated with local fisher folks to employ over 10,000 meters of nets that had had nets battery-powered waterproof green LEDs fitted onto them every ten meters. In half of the these lights were lit.The other half were left unlit,as controls.Each lit net was paired with an unlit one, and the two were employed alongside one another at prime fishing locations. The fishers'target fish were large groupers. Dr. Senko was interested both in what else got caught and whether the lights decreased catches of the target species.
On the latter point,to his relief,they did not. On the former,the lit nets caught 95% fewer kilograms of shark-related species. In particular, several threatened species turned up less often in the lit than the unlit nets.
The advantage from the point of view of fisher folks was that they needed to spend a lot less time clearing these dangerous by-catches from their nets.And,erucially,the LEDs concerned are cheap,hard-wearing,and easy to fit.There are also plans to make them solar powered,for easy recharging. Here,then,is a conservation idea from which everyone wins.
32.What is the problem with gillnets?
A.They are costly to maintain. B.They discourage target catches.
C.They need more time to be cleaned. D.They trap unwanted by-catches.
33.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The principle of the experiment. B.The effect of the experiment.
C.The purpose of the experiment. D.The process of the experiment.
34.What can be inferred from Dr.Senko's experiment?
A.The LEDs are easy to recharge. B.Gillnets will soon be out of date.
C.Fitting LEDs to gillnets is a win-win idea. D.Fisher folks benefit the most from the idea.
35.What was the author s attitude to the prospect of the LEDs idea?
A.Reserved. B.Hopeful. C.Ambiguous. D.Doubtful.
