Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是零垃圾活动家Lauren Singer如何开启自己零垃圾之旅并创办博客“无用之人才有垃圾”的励志故事，她的做法引领人们为保护环境做出应有的贡献。
Known for her “Trash Is for Tossers” blog and Package Free lifestyle shop，Singer is leading by example with a single mason jar(广口瓶) containing the only trash she’s collected in eight years(yes，you read that correctly).With recent money support from some companies，Singer is focused on becoming the largest producer of sustainable products in the world.
It all started when Singer was studying at New York University.As an Environmental Science student，she was getting mad at a classmate for making much plastic trash，but later she found every single thing in her own fridge was in one way or another packaged in plastic.It turned out she was as bad.So，she decided to go plastic-free and thought the only way was to learn how to make her own products.Then，while she was doing research online，she came across a blog called the “Zero Waste Home” started by a Californian family who live a completely zero-waste life.
Her mind was completely blown.Originally，she thought she was doing the best for the planet by not using plastic.But the idea of producing no trash was so inspiring that she began her zero-waste journey and explored the possibility of living a waste-free life.She started by stopping buying packaged food and making her own products.Besides，instead of buying new clothing，she would buy things that were totally recycled，second-hand.She also downsized greatly by selling，donating，or giving away unnecessary things—had only the things that she really needed.
In 2014，Lauren Singer founded her blog，“Trash Is for Tossers”，to document her waste-free journey，as well as provide easy，actionable tips and tricks to live sustainably.She is becoming increasingly popular and has even been invited to lecture at the United Nations to promote her zero-waste lifestyle: “Refuse，Reduce，Reuse，Recycle.” By taking simple action，everyone can contribute to the environment.

标题归纳题。根据首段中的“Known for her ‘Trash Is for Tossers’ blog and Package Free lifestyle shop，Singer is leading by example with a single mason jar(广口瓶) containing the only trash she’s collected in eight years.(Singer以她的‘无用之人才有垃圾’博客和‘无包装’生活方式商店而闻名，她以身作则，用一个广口瓶来做表率，这个瓶子里装着她八年来收集的唯一垃圾)”以及下文中介绍的开启零垃圾之旅的原因可知，Singer作为一个零垃圾活动家用自己的实际行动引领人们为保护环境做出贡献，所以A项“认识一下零垃圾活动家Lauren Singer”可概括本文的主题，适合作为本文的标题。故选A项。

We all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems.However，light pollution may be a new term to many of us.But，the fact is that it does affect mankind，other living forms and the environment as a whole.
语篇解读　本文为一篇说明文，主要介绍了光污染的定义、造成的危害及防治建议等。
What is light pollution？It presents all forms of misused man-made light.The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly.It can be office lighting，car headlights，station lights，streetlights and many more.
Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants.Upon studies，it is found that obvious effects are observed in the behaviour of animals that are active at night.Needless to mention，bright light at night makes it difficult for these animals to hunt，wander and perform their regular activities.Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases.Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm(节奏).It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells.So，it’s nothing less than a threat to human health.
You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on animals and human health.Apart from this，the actual cost of misused light is about millions of dollars every year.It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming.After all，coal or gas is used for producing electricity.
While outdoor lighting and using man-made lighting products are part of our modern lifestyle，some simple ways will surely help in reducing light pollution.For example，while installing(安装) outdoor lighting，make sure that they are pointed downwards.Also，use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices.Believe it or not，many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night.Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.
5.What can we learn about light pollution
A.It has little effect on plants.
B.It contributes to most cancers.
C.It is a negative fruit of light technology.
D.It affects animals’ behavior during the day.
√
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly.”可知，光污染是滥用各种人造光源而形成的，可以说是光技术的不良结果。故选C。
解析
6.Why does light pollution affect the climate
A.It increases the temperature at night.
B.It creates clouds in parts of the Earth.
C.It stops the release of greenhouse gases.
D.It is related to the burning of coal and gas.
√
细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming.After all，coal or gas is used for producing electricity.”可知，光需要电，而电是烧煤或煤气产生的。因此，从这个角度来说光污染会引起全球变暖。故选D。
解析
7.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A.Light pollution needs to be dealt with urgently.
B.Only simple ways can help reduce light pollution.
C.There is no clear sky or stars over the urban areas.
D.Citizens should be banned to install outdoor lighting.
√
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Believe it or not，many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night.Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.”可知，光污染非常严重，该问题有待紧急解决。故选A。
解析
8.How can we contribute our part in reducing light pollution
A.Forbid the use of outdoor lighting.
B.Use clean energy to produce electricity.
C.Avoid unnecessary lights at home and offices.
D.Reduce money spent on light in urban areas.
√
细节理解题。根据最后一段关键句“Also，use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices.”可知，在家里和办公室里只用必需的照明产品便可减少光污染，即避免不必要的照明。故选C。

Mike dreamed of being an animal researcher when he was young.He wanted to study the topics involving the reasons why dogs like wagging their tails or the brain structures of chimpanzees.So he was ready to let workers take action to use firm bricks as foundations to build an institute to research animals.However，one day he found the harmful waste water from construction polluted the roots and shoots of the crops.Mike wasn’t “Just-me-ism”，so he didn’t bother to set up the institute.Although he gave up his dream，he spread the significance of environmental protection all around the world.
One day he was invited to have a picnic in the forest.But when arriving at the destination，he found that there was not a parking lot.Therefore，he had to park his bike by the side of the path.Unfortunately，when he finished the picnic，he found that his bike had disappeared.To prevent this from happening again，he came up with a solution—designing a tracking system.Since then，his bike has stayed with him forever.
麦克年少时曾梦想成为一名动物研究员。他渴望探究诸如“狗狗爱摇尾巴的原因”或“黑猩猩脑部结构”这类课题。为此他准备让工人们用坚实的砖块奠基，建造一座动物研究所。然而某天他发现建筑施工排放的有害废水污染了农作物的根茎嫩芽。麦克并非“事不关己主义”者，便就此搁置了研究所的建设计划。他虽然放弃了梦想，却将环保理念传播到了世界各地。 有一天，他受邀去森林野餐，抵达目的地时却发现没有停车场。因此，他只好把自行车停在路边，不料野餐结束后他发现车子不翼而飞。为防止类似事件重演，他想出了解决方案——设计一套追踪系统。从此他的自行车再未离开过他。

We all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems.However，light pollution may be a new term to many of us.But，the fact is that it does affect mankind，other living forms and the environment as a whole.
What is light pollution？It presents all forms of misused man-made light.The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly.It can be office lighting，car headlights，station lights，streetlights and many more.
Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants.Upon studies，it is found that obvious effects are observed in the behaviour of animals that are active at night.Needless to mention，bright light at night makes it difficult for these animals to hunt，wander and perform their regular activities.Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases.Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm(节奏)．It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells.So，it’s nothing less than a threat to human health.
You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on animals and human health.Apart from this，the actual cost of misused light is about millions of dollars every year.It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming.After all，coal or gas is used for producing electricity.
While outdoor lighting and using man-made lighting products are part of our modern lifestyle，some simple ways will surely help in reducing light pollution.For example，while installing(安装) outdoor lighting，make sure that they are pointed downwards.Also，use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices.Believe it or not，many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night.Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.
