If you are writing or studying,it makes very much difference where the light comes from.People who use books and pens every day have to be especially careful about the way the light shines on their work.
Every house gets its light either from daylight through the windows--which is the best to use--or from lamps or electricity;but whichever kind of light it is,the way it shines toward our book or work is a matter of great importance to the eyes.
Take a book,sit with your back toward the window,and try to read.Your shadow(影子)falls all over the page and makes it almost as bad for your eyes as if you were in a dark room.
Now turnaround and face the window.The page is in the shadow again,while the bright light is in your eyes.
Try sitting with your right side toward the window.This is very well for reading,but if you were writing,the shadow of your hand would fall across the page and bother(打搅)you a little.
There is just one other way:sit with your left side to the window.Now everything is perfect for reading and for writing,too.
Whatever kind of light is in the room,the rule about the right to sit is always the same.

When you sit with your face towards the window,__________?

A.your shadow falls on your book
B.your book is in a shadow
C.the light is still dark
D.the light is on your page

2.AWhen you look at the sky at night,the moon looks bigger than the stars. In fact,the moon is much smaller than the stars.It is much smaller than the earth. But the moon is much closer to us than any star. That is why it looks so big. If you hold a coin close.to your eye,it looks big.If you look at it across the room,it looks small.The moon moves around the earth. It makes one trip in about four weeks. The moon looks flat(扁的)to us. But it is a round ball,like the earth.People once thought the moon had fire(火) on it. They thought the fire made it bright.Now we know the moon is like a mirror( 镜子 ). It gets its light from the sun Our sunlight comes from the sun,too: What is the sun? The sun is star. The stars we can see have their own light. There are many big stars we can-t see. Their light has burned out. Others are still bright,but they are so far away that we can-t see them. The sun looks bigger and much brighter than other stars because it is the nearest of all stars. The sun and the other stars we see are very hot,but the air around us saves us from(使------免于) the heat(热量) of the sun.The sun gives us light and warmth.It makes plants grow and leaves turn green. It makes life possible on our earth.It is a life-giving star.( )21. The moon looks bigger because__________ .A. some stars are smaller than itB.it is between the sun and the earthC.it is the closest to the earthD.it is very bright

4.CIn most situations, light helps us see. But nowadays humans are using too much of it so that it is in fact a kind of pollution.When it comes to looking at the night sky, too much light makes it difficult for us to watch some of life’s most wonderful sights: stars, planets and even galaxies(星系).According to scientific research, about 2, 500 stars can be seen by the human eye without using any special equipment(设备). But because of light pollution, you can only see 200 to 300 stars from today’s countryside, and no more than ten stars from a city. In most big cities, people cannot see the sky filled with stars like they did in their childhood.Light pollution affects more than just our view of sky. Research shows that lots of nighttime light can harm wildlife, too.When birds fly to another place over cities, they sometimes get lost by the brightness and fly in circles(圈) until they drop from tiredness. Sea turtles(海龟) need dark beaches for laying eggs, but they can’t find their ideal places because of those bright lights.Too much light at night may even affect human health, but scientists are not sure of that. They are still learning more.In order to prevent things from going worse, governments and some organizations are working to reduce light pollution. Many cities and towns have taken action to reduce the use of lights at night. Lights are used only when and where they are truly needed. They also shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky and use lower brightness levels.Hopefully, in the near future, humans can enjoy the clear and beautiful sky again and all the wildlife will live a peaceful and undisturbed life, too.27. Why does the writer think that too much light is a kind of pollution?A. Because there are fewer and fewer stars.B. Because human health has been affected.C. Because too much light is a waste of energy.D. Because some of the wildlife can be harmed.

    Computer Mouse

    The basic computer mouse is an amazingly clever invention with a relatively simple design that allows us to point at things on the computer and it is very productive.Think of all the things you can do with a mouse like selecting text for copying and pasting,drawing,and even scrolling on the page with the newer mice with the wheel. Most of us use the computer mouse daily without stopping to think how it works until it gets dirty and we have to learn how to clean it. We learn to point at thing before we learn to speak,so the mouse is a very natural pointing device.Other computer pointing devices include light pens,graphics tablets and touch screen,but the mouse is still our workhorse.
    The computer mouse was invented in 1964 by Douglas Englehart of Stanford University.As computer screens became popular and arrow keys were used to more around a body of text,it became clear that a pointing device that allowed easier motion through the text and even selection of text would be very useful.The introduction of the mouse,with the Apple Lisa computer in 1983,really started the computer public on the road to relying on the mouse for routine computer tasks.
    How does the mouse work?We have to start at the bottom,so think upside down for now. It all starts with mouse ball. As the mouse ball in the bottom of the mouse rolls over the mouse pad,it presses against and turns two shafts.The shafts are connected to wheels with several small holes in them. The wheels have a pair of small electronic light-emitting devices called light emitting diodes (LED)mounted on either side.One LED sends a light beam to the LED on the other side.As the wheels spin and a hole rotates by,the light beam gets through to the LED on the other side.But a moment later the light beam is blocked until the next hole is in place.The LED detects a changing pattern of light,converts the pattern into an electronic signal,and sends the signal to the computer through wires in a cable that goes out the mouse body.This cable is the tail that helps give the mouse its name.The computer interprets the signal to tell it where to position the cursor on the computer screen.
    So far we have only discussed the basic computer mouse that most of you probably have or have used.One problem with this design is that the mouse gets dirty as the ball rolls over the surface and picks up the dirt. Eventually you have to clean your mouse. The newer optical mice avoid this problem by having no moving parts.

    Learn about Light
    1 .Ancient civilizations were amazed by the existence of light for thousands of years. The Greek philosophers believed that light was made up of countless,tiny particles that enter the human eye and create what we call vision. However,Empedocles and a Dutch scientist named Christian Huygens believed that light was like a wave. According to them,light spread out and travelled like a straight line. This theory was accepted during the 19th century.
    2 .In 1905,Albert Einstein published a research paper in which he explained what is re-ferred to as the photoelectric effect. This theory explains that particles make up light.The particles Einstein was referring to are weightless bundles(束)of electromagnetic(电磁)energy called photons(光子).Today,scientists agree that light has a dual(二重)nature一it is part particle and part wave. It is a form of energy that allows us to see things around us.
    3 .Things that give off light are known as sources of light. During the day,the primary source of light is the sun. Other sources of light include stars,flames,flashlights,street lamps and glowing gases in glass tube.
    4 .When we draw the way light travels we always use straight lines. This is because nor-mally light rays travel in a straight line. However,there are some instances that can change the path and even the nature of light. They are reflection,absorption,interference(干扰), etc.
    5 .Physicists have attempted to measure the speed of light since the early times. In 1849, Hippolyte Fizeau conducted an experiment by directing a beam of light to a mirror located kilometers away and placed a rotating cogwheel(旋转齿轮)between the beam and the mirror. From the rate of rotation of the wheel,number of wheel's teeth and distance of the mirror,he was able to calculate that the speed of light is 313 million meters per second. In a vacuum(真空),however,the speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second. This is about a million times faster than the speed of an airplane.

    Paragraph 3______
    A: How Is the Nature of Light Explained Today?
    B: What Are Sources of Light?
    C: How Did Physicists Measure the Speed of Light?
    D: How Does Light Travel?
    E: How Did People Think of Light Years Ago?
    F: What Causes a Shadow?

    答案:B
    解析:
    该概括大意与完成句子所选的阅读材料为记述文,段落主题相对于论述文而言较松散,因此记述文中的段落大意往往需要考生根据自己的理解而归纳概括出来。解答概括大意题的技巧往往派不上用场。第二段主要讲述现代科学家认同了爱因斯坦的光电效应理论。因此可以判断A选项“当今人们如何解释光的性质”正确。
    第三段第一句“Things that give off light are known as sources of light.”就点明主旨,发光的物体是光源。所以B选项“什么是光源?”正确。
    第四段主要讲述光传播的问题,所以D选项“光是如何传播的”正确。
    第五段的关键字是speed of light,光速。所以C选项“物理学家如何测量光的速度”正确。
    题干意为“人们可以看见物体是因为光……。“从第二段最后一句可知,人们看见物体是因为光是一种能量。所以F项a form of energy正确的。
    题干意为“星星、火焰、手电筒都是……的例子。”第三段“Other sources of light include stars , flames , flashlights...”说明,这些都是光源的例子。所以A选项sourcesof light是正确的。
    题干意为“某些情况下,如反射和吸收可以改变……。”第四段中“there are some instances that can change the path and even the nature of light.They are reflection,ab-sorption , interference , etc.”这说明有一些情况可以改变光的路径。所以C选项the path of light是正确的。
    题干意为“Hippolyte Fizeau做了一个刚试……的实验。”文中最后一段 “Hippolyte Fizeau conducted an experiment by directing a beam of light to a mirror...he was able to calculate that the speed of light...”可知Hippolyte Fizeau通过实验计算出了光速。所以B选项是正确的。

    Computer Mouse

    The basic computer mouse is an amazingly clever invention with a relatively simple design that allows us to point at things on the computer and it is very productive.Think of all the things you can do with a mouse like selecting text for copying and pasting,drawing,and even scrolling on the page with the newer mice with the wheel. Most of us use the computer mouse daily without stopping to think how it works until it gets dirty and we have to learn how to clean it. We learn to point at thing before we learn to speak,so the mouse is a very natural pointing device.Other computer pointing devices include light pens,graphics tablets and touch screen,but the mouse is still our workhorse.
    The computer mouse was invented in 1964 by Douglas Englehart of Stanford University.As computer screens became popular and arrow keys were used to more around a body of text,it became clear that a pointing device that allowed easier motion through the text and even selection of text would be very useful.The introduction of the mouse,with the Apple Lisa computer in 1983,really started the computer public on the road to relying on the mouse for routine computer tasks.
    How does the mouse work?We have to start at the bottom,so think upside down for now. It all starts with mouse ball. As the mouse ball in the bottom of the mouse rolls over the mouse pad,it presses against and turns two shafts.The shafts are connected to wheels with several small holes in them. The wheels have a pair of small electronic light-emitting devices called light emitting diodes (LED)mounted on either side.One LED sends a light beam to the LED on the other side.As the wheels spin and a hole rotates by,the light beam gets through to the LED on the other side.But a moment later the light beam is blocked until the next hole is in place.The LED detects a changing pattern of light,converts the pattern into an electronic signal,and sends the signal to the computer through wires in a cable that goes out the mouse body.This cable is the tail that helps give the mouse its name.The computer interprets the signal to tell it where to position the cursor on the computer screen.
    So far we have only discussed the basic computer mouse that most of you probably have or have used.One problem with this design is that the mouse gets dirty as the ball rolls over the surface and picks up the dirt. Eventually you have to clean your mouse. The newer optical mice avoid this problem by having no moving parts.

    The optical mouse is superior to the basic one in that the former has no moving parts.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    原文第一段第三句表明,大多数人虽然每天都在用鼠标,但并没有停下来去思考鼠标的工作原理。
    文章中没有出现与问题句的内容相呼应的信息,因此判断问题句的内容在文章中没有被提到。
    原文第三段倒数第二、三句指出,由于这个从鼠标中伸出的线缆像条尾巴一样,所以鼠标因此而得名。
    原文第三段提及两个发光二极管在鼠标中的具体工作方式:二极管把光信号转换成电信号,传送到电脑。由此可看出二极管是鼠标中的关键部件。
    原文最后一段第二句可以看到,如果鼠标脏了,需要做的是清洁,而不是换个新的。
    文章没有谈到这方面的信息。
    原文是:"The newer optical mice avoid this problem by having no moving parts.”新型的光电鼠标无移动部件,因而避免了老式鼠标的缺点。

    Learn About Light

    1 Ancient civilizations were amazed by the existence of light for thousands of years?The Greek philoso-
    phrrs believed that light was made up of countless,tiny particles that enter the human eye and create what
    we call vision.However,Empedocles and a Dutch scientist named Christian Huygens believed that light wag
    like a wave.According to them,light spread out and travelled like a straight line.This theory was accepted
    during the 19th century.
    2 In 1905,Albert Einstein published a research paper in which he explained what is referred to as the
    photoelectric effect.This theory explains that particles make up light.The particles Einstein was referring to
    are weightless bundles(束)of electromagnetic(电磁)energy called photons(光子).Today,scientists agree
    that light has a dual(二重)nature一it is part particle and part wave. It is a form of energy that allows us to
    see things around us.
    3 Things that give off light are known as sources of light.During the day,the primary source of light is
    the sun.Other sources of light include stars,flames,flashllights,street lamps and glowing gases in glass
    tube.
    4 When we draw the way light travels we always use straight lines.This is because normally light rays
    travel in a straight line.However,there are some instances that can change the path and even the nature of
    light. They are reflection,absorption,interference(干扰),etc.
    5 Physicists have attempted to measure the speed of light since the early times.In 1849,Hippolyte
    Fizeau conducted an experiment by directing a beam of light to a mirror located kilometers away and placed
    a rotating cogwheel(旋转齿轮)between the beam and the mirror. From the rate of rotation of the wheel,
    number of wheel'S teeth and distance of the mirror,he was able to calculate that the speed of light is 313
    million meters per second.In a vacuum(真空),however,the speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per
    second.This is about a million times faster than the speed of an airplane.

    Objects are visible to the human eye as light is_______.
    A:sources of light
    B:the speed of light
    C:the path of light
    D:a straight line
    E:a beam of light
    F:a form of energy

    答案:F
    解析:
    第二段前半部分介绍了爱因斯坦的光电效应理论,后半部分则介绍了现代科学家对于 光的看法:他们认为光具有二重性。
    第三段主要讲述了光源的定义和常见的光源,故选B。
    第四段主要讲述了光的传播方式以及影响光的传播方式和性质的因素,故选D。
    第五段以Flippolvte Fizeau为例,介绍了物理学家是如何测定光速的,故选C。
    文章第一段中只提到光像一条直线一样传播,而并非说光是一条直线。另外,由第二段 最后一句话“it is a form of energy that allows us to see things around us.”可知,光是一种能让我 们看到周围事物的能量,故选F。
    山第三段的最后一句话“Other sources of light include stars, flames, flashlights, street lamps and glowing gases in glass tube.”可知,应选A。
    由第四段最后两句话可知,一些因素会影响光的传播路径,这些因素包括光的反射、光 的吸收和光的干扰,故选C。
    由第五段的实例可知,Hippolyte Fizcau是用一束光测出了光的速度,故选B。第4部分;阅读理解第一篇 本篇文章主要讲述了石墨烯对于将未电子学发展的重要性以及人们可用一种简单的方式发 现石、墨烯。

    Every house gets its light either from daylight through the windows--which is the best to use--or from lamps or electricity;but whichever kind of light it is,the way it shines toward our book or work is a matter of great importance to the eyes.
    Take a book,sit with your back toward the window,and try to read.Your shadow(影子)falls all over the page and makes it almost as bad for your eyes as if you were in a dark room.
    Now turnaround and face the window.The page is in the shadow again,while the bright light is in your eyes.
    Try sitting with your right side toward the window.This is very well for reading,but if you were writing,the shadow of your hand would fall across the page and bother(打搅)you a little.

    正确答案: 1.B 考查动词用法。have to do sth.为固定用法,意为“必须做某事”。want to do sth.“想要做某事”。know知道。have to实际上是一个情态动词,用在此处含有警告或者忠告的意味。
    2.A 考查连词固定搭配。由空格后与此处并列的or from…部分即可推知应选either,构成either …or…这一固定搭配,意为“要么…,要么…”。
    3.C 考查从句连接词。由句子结构可知,空格后是一个从句,修饰daylight(日光)。而先行词是事物,且连接词在从句中不充当句子成分,因此应用which。
    4.C 考查名词辨义与上下文理解。由句意及空格前的修饰语great可知,应选importance“重要,重要性”。(be) of great importance to意为“对…来说很重要”。
    5.A 考查形容词辨义与上下文理解。dark“黑暗的”。bright“明亮的”。small“小的”。由句意及句中的shadow(阴影)、bad(不好的)及as if后所用的虚拟语气不难推知应选dark。
    6.B 考查固定搭配。turn around“转身,转过来”。turn over“翻转,打翻”。turn off“关上(电器等)”。由句意可知,这里是要读者转过身来脸朝窗户,故B项正确。
    7.A 考查名词与上下文理解。eye“眼睛”。face“脸”。back“背(部)”。由上下文与常识可知,脸朝窗户时,光线会照着眼睛,影响阅读,故A项正确。
    8.A 考查上下文关系。由句意可知,空格前后是明显的对立关系,因此选表转折的but(然而,但是)。or表选择和让步,意为“或者,否则”。so表因果,意为“因此”。
    9.C 考查固定搭配。fall across“(阴影等)投射在…上”。fall down“落下,掉下”。fall into“落入,陷入”。在前文中已经出现过fall across这一搭配,考生应能很快确定答案。
    10.B 考查上下文理解。由于前面提到的是将右边(your right side)朝向窗户,并且分析的是这样做的坏处,这里肯定就是说将左边朝向窗户了,因此选与right对立的left。
