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.

This is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers. Men and women can be seen, but they are following the orders given to them by machines. The machines were designed by mad scientists, but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super-inventions.Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that is not completely understood.The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives. Somefactory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers. Our bank accounts are managed by computers. At the airport, our tickets are sold by a computer. Certainly, many of these operations are made moreefficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don't know what they might do next. But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them. Today, there is a new generation of computer wizards who know exactly how computers get things done. These young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering what can be done by these wonderful slaves which they have learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the computer and search for new tasks for their machines.(1)、According to the passage, our present world is under the control of ______ .A：mad scientistsB：men and womenC：the unknown fearD：some super-inventions(2)、The reason why many people are afraid of computers is that ______ .A：they don't know anything about computersB：they haven't really understood computersC：there are so many computer gamesD：computers are often down(3)、The author mentions computer wizards in order to point out that ______ .A：computers can be controlled by manB：there should be more people devoted to computersC：only young people are interested in computersD：more time and energy is required to control computers(4)、This passage is probably written to suggest that ______ .A：some day computers can deal with all human problemsB：computers can be used in place of traveling to our jobsC：people should not fear computersD：computer technology will not meet people's needs in various situations(5)、The author's attitude towards widely used computers is __.A：positiveB：anxiousC：worriedD：serious

Early in the age of affluence that followed World War II,an American retailing analyst named Victor Lebow proclaimed,
“Our enormously productive economy...demands that we make consumption our way of life,that we convert the buying and
use of Eoods into rituals,that we seek our spiritual satisfaction,our ego satisfaction,in consumption...We need things
consumed,burned up,worn out,replaced and discarded at an ever increasing rate.”
Americans have responded to Lebow’s call,and much of the world has followed.Consumption has become a central pillar of life in industrial lands and is even embedded in social values.
Opinion surveys in the world’s two largest economies-Japan and the United States-show consumerist definitions of
success becoming ever more prevalent.
Overconsumption by the world’s fortunate is an environmental problem unmatched in severity by anything but perhaps
population growth.Their surging exploitation of resources threatens to exhaust or unalterably spoil forests,soils,water,air and climate.
Ironically,high consumption may be a mixed blessing in human terms,too.The time-honored values of integrity of
character,good work,friendship,family and community have often been sacrificed in the rush to riches.Thus many in the
industrial lands have a sense that their world,of plenty is somehow hollow-that,misled by a consumerist culture,they have
been fruitlessly attempting to satisfy what are essentially social,psychological and spiritual needs with material things.
Of course,the opposite of overconsumption-poverty-is no solution to either environmental or human problems.It is infinitely worse for people and bad for the natural world too.Dispossessed peasants slash-and-burn their way into the rain forests of
Latin American,and hungry nomads turn their herds out onto fragile African grassland,reducing it to desert.If environmental
destruction results when people have either too little or too much,we are left to wonder how much is enough.What level of
consumption can the earth support When does having more cease to add noticeably to human satisfaction
Apart from enormous productivity,another important impetus to high consumption is___________.《》（）A.the conversion of the sale of goods into rituals
B.the people’s desire for a rise in their living standards
C.the imbalance that has existed between production and consumption
D.the concept that one’s success is measured by how much they consume

To live in the United States today is to gain an appreciation for Dahrendorf′s assertion that social change exists everywhere. Technology, the application of knowledge for practical ends, is a major source of social change.
Yet we would do well to remind ourselves that technology is a human creation; it does not exist naturally. A spear or a robot is as much a cultural as a physical object. Until humans use a spear to hunt game or a robot to produce machine parts, neither is much more than a solid mass of matter. For a bird looking for an object on which to rest, a spear or robot serves the purpose equally well. The explosion of the Challenger space shuttle and the Russian nuclear accident at Chernobyl drive home the human quality of technology; they provide cases in which well-planned systems suddenly went haywire and there was no ready hand to set them right. Since technology is a human creation, we are responsible for what is done with it. Pessimists worry that we will use our technology eventually to blow our world and ourselves to pieces. But they have been saying this for decades, and so far we have managed to survive and even flourish. Whether we will continue to do so in the years ahead remains uncertain. Clearly, the impact of technology on our lives deserves a closer examination.
Few technological developments have had a greater impact on our lives than the computer revolution. Scientists and engineers have designed specialized machines that can do the tasks that once only people could do. There are those who assert that the switch to an information-based economy is in the same camp as other great historical milestones, particularly the Industrial Revolution. Yet when we ask why the Industrial Revolution was a revolution, we find that it was not the machines. The primary reason why it was revolutionary is that it led to great social change. It gave rise to mass production and, through mass production, to a society in which wealth was not confined to the few.
In somewhat similar fashion, computers promise to revolutionize the structure of American life, particularly as they free the human mind and open new possibilities in knowledge and communication. The Industrial Revolution supplemented and replaced the muscles of humans and animals by mechanical methods. The computer extends this development to supplement and replace some aspects of the mind of human beings by electronic methods. And it′s the capacity of the computer for solving problems and making decisions that represents its greatest potential and that poses the greatest difficulties in predicting the impact on society.
why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger space shuttle and the Russian nuclear accident at Chernobyl?A.To show the worry that technology may eventually destroy our world.
B.To tell the readers that as a human creation, technology may go wrong and do harm to human.
C.To emphasize the responsibility we have in ensuring human safety in a technological world.
D.To stress the fact that technology usually goes wrong if not given close examination.

问答题Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgement and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgement wholly by their rules, is the humour of a scholar. They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need proyning (pruning) by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation.
