B In 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. According to scientific research, about 2, 500 stars can be seen by the human eye without using any special equipment. 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 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. 104. 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. 105. Which of the following is NOT mentionedin this passage? A. The problems that light pollution has caused. B. The reason why humans use too much light. C. The ways that light pollution can be reduced. D. The reason why fewer stars can be seen than before. 106. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. There are about 2,500 stars in the sky. B. Humans want to do nothing to reduce light pollution. C. Sea turtles always get lost and die from tiredness. D. Something has been done to reduce light pollution. 查看更多

Nursing at Beth Israel Hospital produces the best patient care. If we are to solve the nursing shortage. hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do well to follow Beth Israel's example .

      At Beth Israel each patient is assigned to a primary nurse who visits at length with the patient and constructs a full-scale health account that covers everything from his medical history  to his emotional state. Then she writes a care plan centered on the patient's illness but which also  includes everything else that is necessary.

     The primary nurse stays with the patient through his hospitalization. keeping track with his progress and seeking further advice from his doctor. If a patient at Beth Israel is not responding  to treatment. it is not uncommon for his nurse to propose another approach to his doctor. What  the doctor at Beth Israel has in the primary nurse is a true colleague.

    Nursing at Beth Israel also involves a decentralized (分散的) nursing administration; every  unit is a self-contained organization. There are nurse-managers instead of head nurses; in addition  to their medical duties they do all their own hiring and dismissing, employee advising, and they make salary recommendations. Each unit's nurses decide among themselves who will work what  shifts and when.

    Beth Israel's nurse-in-chief ranks as an equal with other vice presidents of the hospital. She  is also a member of the Medical Executive Committee. which in most hospitals includes only  doctors.

1.Which of the following best characterizes the main feature of the nursing system at Beth    Israel Hospital?

A. The doctor gets more active professional support from the primary nurse.

B. Each patient is taken care of by a primary nurse day and night.

C. The primary nurse writes care plans for every patient.

D. The primary nurse keeps records of the patient's health conditions every day.

2.It can be inferred from the passage that_____.

A. compared with other hospitals, nurses at Beth Israel Hospital are more patient

B. in most hospitals, patient care is inadequate from the professional point of view

C. in most hospital, nurses get low salaries

D. compared with other hospitals, nurses have to work longer hours at Beth Israel Hospital

3.A primary nurse can propose a different approach of treatment when

A. the present one is refused by the patient

B. the patient complains about the present one

C. the present one proves to be ineffective

D. the patient is found unwilling to cooperate

4.The main difference between a nurse-manager and a head nurse is that the former

A. is a member of the Medical Executive Committee of the hospital

B. has to arrange the work shifts of the unit's nurses

C. can make decisions concerning the medical treatment of a patient

C

    Isn't it astonishing how much time we spend talking about food? “Have you ever eaten …?” “What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another, you will find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal (正常) and that what other people eat is strange or silly. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a great deal of beer, and the French drink wine every day.

   The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish (生鱼).

   So it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense in what we say it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.

64. Which of the following is true according to the article?

A. All people have the same feeling about food.

B. In most parts of Asia, people usually have rice for meals.

C. People often consider other people to be strange or silly.

   D. The topic people spend time talking about is bread and meat.

65. People in different countries   ___  .

 A. drink the same sort of wine     B. have the same eating habit

   C. eat different kinds of meat      D. have the same tea at different time within a day

66. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat    __  .

   A. because they dislike its smell   B. because it is too expensive

   C. because it is easy to go bad     D. because they think it will do harm to their health

67. English people drink tea four or five times a day    _   .

A. because they get thirsty easily      B. because there is plenty of tea in Britain

C. because of their drinking habit     D. because they have enough time to do so
