Last night's meteor(流星) shower left many people in Emerald Valley dissatisfied. They gathered in the suburbs of the city with heavy telescopes，expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. However, what they found was a sky so brightened by the city's lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.
“My family was so frustrated，” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing，but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”
Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets—have been complaining about this problem for many years. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.
Besides professional and amateur(业余的) star observers, there is yet a population that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds，bats, frogs, and snakes etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds. According to the International DarkSky Association, “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers. ”
Countless animals injuries and deaths result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful to humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase people's chances of getting cancer.
Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona has enforced lighting rules in its city in order to help astronomers with their observations. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.
24. It happened last night that ________．
A. the city's lights affected the meteor watching
B. the meteors flew past before being noticed
C. the city’s lights show attracted many people
D. the meteor watching ended in a social outing
25. According to Paragraph 4, we know that ________．
A. birds may take other migration paths
B. animals' living habits may change suddenly
C. varieties of animals will become sharply reduced
D. animals' survival is threatened by outdoor lighting
26. Lighting rules in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to ________．
A. reduce the chance of getting cancer
B. create an ideal observation condition
C. ensure people a good sleep at night
D. enable all creatures to live in harmony
27. What can we learn from the text?
A. Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.
B. Great efforts should be made to save energy.
C. Human activities should be environmentally friendly.
D. New equipment should be introduced for space study.
C
Luciano Baietti, a retired school headmaster from Italy, holds the Guinness record for the most university degrees. The 70yearold currently has 15 bachelors(学士) or masters degrees from various universities across Italy, and is getting ready to get his 16th.
Getting more than one college degree is not exactly unheardof, but 15 is apparently quite impressive, since it's only been done by one man. Although he spends his days working around his house and garden, like most people his age, at night, Baietti turns into a student again. Every morning, at 3 a. m．， he wakes up and studies by the light of his desk lamp.
“Thanks to books, I feel free. After all, the words share the same root，” he says, referring to the Italian words libro(book) and libero(free). He is inspired by the 19th century French essayist LouisFrancois Berlin, whose portrait(肖像)is also on display in his study, alongside his many framed university degrees, and whom he describes as “a man of culture and knowledge”．
Baietti first made it into the Guinness Book of Records in 2002, after his eighth degree. Then he spent the next 15 years adding seven more bachelors and masters degrees to his collection.
“Each time I set myself a new challenge to see how far my body and my brain can go.” At 70 years old, Baietti thinks he has enough energy for at least one more degree, this time in food science.
Probably the most important thing about Baietti's achievement is that he managed to get most of his university degrees while working as headmaster of a secondary school, and volunteering with Italy's Red Cross. The secret was always getting up at 3 in the morning to make sure that his thirst for knowledge didn't affect his professional activity and his family life. He spent 3 hours studying every day, and that was apparently all he needed to pass his exams and write his theses (论文)．
28. Why does Baietti want to get his 16th degrees?
A. Because he wants to be the first Italian to break a Guinness record twice.
B. Because he is retired and has a lot of free time.
C. Because his wife urges him to do so.
D. Because he challenges himself to open up a broader world.
29. What is the intention of Baietti’s hanging LouisFrancois Berlin's portrait in his study?
A. To learn from him. B. To discourage him.
C. To witness him. D. To curse him.
30. Baietti can be best described as ________．
A. honest and caring
B. optimistic and generous
C. determined and hardworking
D. reliable and imaginative
31. What lesson can we learn from the story of Baietti?
A. Well begun is half done. B. Never too late to learn.
C. Take things as they come. D. Strike the iron while it is hot.
D
The baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert (警觉的). Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the
spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze(凝视) starts to lose its focus—until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?
Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly(随意地)on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise(同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.
32. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby's ________.
A. sense of hearing B. sense of sight
C. sense of touch D. sense of smell
33. Babies are sensitive to the change in ________.
A. the size of cards B. the colour of pictures
C. the shape of patterns D. the number of objects
34. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?
A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.
B. To see how babies recognize sounds.
C. To carry their experiment further.
D. To keep the babies' interest.
35. Where does this text probably come from?
A. Science fiction. B. Children’s literature.
C. An advertisement. D. A science report.

Dear Mum and Dad
We're having a wonderful time in Australia. There is so much to see that it is impossible for me to tell you everything. During past three days, we've travelled a lot around Sydney. We went to the
zoo, on where we saw many animals that can only be found in Australia. We spent some time relaxing in the sunshine at the beach, but we went to Pitt Street and wander around for a bit while we did some shopping. Though I would like to spend more time here, the locally guide told us that we will fly to Cairns tomorrow. It's said that word cannot describe the beauty of the ocean near Cairns. Now everybody is busy packed so that we will not lose time when we set off. This time tomorrow we will be enjoying the ocean near Cairns. I can't wait!
Because I have much more to tell you, I must go to bed now so that I can get up early and get to the airport on time. Please send my best wishes to Granny and tell she that I am coming back soon.

M: I really like living here in this flat, because it's so near the center of town.
W: That's true. But it gets really noisy at night.

W: What?

W: Hey, Peter, I'm sorry.
M: Hi Diana, what's wrong?
W: We were going to Hong Kong this weekend but I'm afraid I can't go.
M: How come?
W: I have a really big geography test and I have to study for it.
M: We can go next week instead.
W: No, I don't want to ruin your weekend. You go ahead and please take the book I bought to my friend Sally. Tell her I have to study all weekend because I can't afford to fail the test.
M: OK, then I'll go with Dan. But it's a pity you can't come.

M: Hey, Lucy. Do you have some time to talk about next week's trip with me?
W: Sure, Dave.
M: OK. So, we're leaving on Monday from Hartsfield International Airport, and returning on Friday. Do we take ourselves to the airport? Maybe we need to book a taxi, or just go by bus.
W: No, we don't have to. The company car will pick us up and take us there.
M: Oh, that's good. When?
W: Our flight leaves at 11：00 a．m., so they should pick us up between 8：00 and 9：00 a．m. Besides, the company pays for our trip, including hotel and food.
M: How much will that be?
W: Well, New York is a pretty expensive city. So, each of us will get $200 a day.
M: Oh, OK. Thanks for telling me that.
W: You're welcome.

W: Anything interesting in the paper today, dear?
M: Well, yeah. There are a few here that might interest us. Here is one for just 400 dollars. It only has one bedroom, but it sounds nice, near Lake Street.
W: Yeah, let me see what the cheapest twobedroom apartment is. Oh, here is one on Market Street. It's a real bargain. Only 350 dollars. But it doesn't have any furniture.
M: Well, it costs a lot to buy all the furniture.
W: Oh, here is another one for just over 400 dollars. This sounds very interesting. It's on South Street. That's a nice area!
M: Yes, it's quiet. Did you say two bedrooms?
W: Yes, at 415 dollars.
M: Why don't we go and have a look?
W: OK, I'll give them a call.

M: Hello! Welcome to the program. In America, May and June are the traditional months for graduations. A listener in China, Wang Ming, who is about to get an engineering degree, wants to know how American college graduates find jobs. Right now, the answer is: not very easily. A latest study on the college job market showed that employers wanted to hire 22% fewer graduates this year than last. The study also showed that just 20% of those who looked for jobs before graduation have found one by now. This is compared to half of students who had looked for a job by this time two years ago. But one difference: fewer of this year's graduates have started to search for jobs. Engineering graduates were more likely to have started their job search already, and to have accepted a job. This is among the bestpaid professions for people with just a college degree. On average, engineering majors expect to start at about $62，000 a year.
