資源簡介 Section Ⅳ Writing a summaryⅠ.閱讀理解 Global light pollution has increased by at least 49% over 25 years, new research shows.This data (數據) only includes light which can be seen through satellites, and scientists think the true increase may be significantly higher — up to 270% globally, and 400% in some areas. This study shows not only how bad light pollution has become as a problem of the whole world, but also that it is continuing to get worse, probably at a faster and faster rate. The study highlights the “hidden impact (影響)” of the LED technology.LEDs send out more blue light than previous lamp technology, but satellite sensors can’t discover this blue light and so underestimate (低估) the level of emissions (排放物).The authors say the actual increase in the power sent out by outdoor lighting, and thus of light pollution, may be as high as 270%.“To take the UK as an example, if you pay no attention to the effect of the change to LEDs, you get the false impression that light pollution has recently weakened,” said researcher Dr Sanchez de Miguel.“However, it has really increased, very remarkably.” Contrary to popular belief, the LED streetlights, while potentially providing some energy savings, has increased light pollution and also the impacts on flying insects. Ruskin Hartley, Executive Director of the International Dark-Sky Association, said, “Over the past 25 years, the use of LED lighting has been accompanied by rapid increases in light pollution all over the world.” If no action is taken to change this trend (趨勢), the impact on the natural environment will speed up, further worsening the biodiversity (生物多樣性) crisis and wasting energy.Many studies have now shown that light pollution, from streetlights and other sources, can have major impacts on the natural environment.Such pollution is likely to have played a role in the huge decrease in insect populations.1.How does the author illustrate that light pollution becomes worse?A.By referring to certain theories. B.By providing comparative data.C.By listing a lot of opinions. D.By giving some examples.2.Why was light pollution in the UK underestimated?A.Emission levels of LEDs are low.B.Satellite sensors are blind to LEDs.C.Outdoor lighting is limited in the UK.D.LEDs are less and less used in the UK.3.What’s the general belief of LED streetlights?A.They are good for insects. B.They save lots of energy.C.They cause light pollution. D.They are environment-friendly.4.What does the last paragraph focus on?A.The harm of light pollution. B.The causes of biological crises.C.The trend of insect populations. D.The importance of the natural environment.Ⅱ.完形填空 When Arun Krishnamurthy was a teenager, he witnessed a pond near his home filling up with garbage.The 5 to the pond inspired him to become a conservationist.

This study shows not only how bad light pollution has become as aproblem of the whole world, but also that it is continuing to get worse,probably at a faster and faster rate. The study highlights the “hidden impact (影響)” of the LEDtechnology.LEDs send out more blue light than previous lamptechnology, but satellite sensors can’t discover this blue light and sounderestimate (低估) the level of emissions (排放物).The authorssay the actual increase in the power sent out by outdoor lighting, and thusof light pollution, may be as high as 270%.“To take the UK as anexample, if you pay no attention to the effect of the change to LEDs,you get the false impression that light pollution has recently weakened,”said researcher Dr Sanchez de Miguel.“However, it has reallyincreased, very remarkably.” Contrary to popular belief, the LED streetlights, while potentiallyproviding some energy savings, has increased light pollution and also theimpacts on flying insects. Ruskin Hartley, Executive Director of the International Dark-SkyAssociation, said, “Over the past 25 years, the use of LED lightinghas been accompanied by rapid increases in light pollution all over theworld.” If no action is taken to change this trend (趨勢), the impact onthe natural environment will speed up, further worsening the biodiversity(生物多樣性) crisis and wasting energy.Many studies have now shownthat light pollution, from streetlights and other sources, can have majorimpacts on the natural environment.Such pollution is likely to have playeda role in the huge decrease in insect populations.語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。研究表明,光污染已經成為一個全球性問題,而且還在繼續惡化,可能會以越來越快的速度惡化,該研究還強調了LED技術的“隱性影響”。語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。研究表明,光污染已經成為一個全球性問題,而且還在繼續惡化,可能會以越來越快的速度惡化,該研究還強調了LED技術的“隱性影響”。1.

It was when Mom noticed me weeping in a corner one night thatthings began to change.After that, Ink Spot came into my life.Everynight, he curled (卷曲) up beside me in bed and he was there for meafter school when I raced home just to be with him. I fell in love with Ink Spot the first time I saw its tiny black and whitekitten, for which I called him Ink Spot.Mom and Daddy beamed withpleasure as my eyes danced with joy again.It was the first time that I hadsmiled since my little baby sister came into the family.As for me, he wasmore than a cat.Actually, he was my life. But today when I came home, Ink Spot was in Mrs Cleary’swindow.I wanted him back.But Mom insisted that if Ink Spot stayed atMrs Cleary’s, that meant it was where he wanted to be.“No!Mom,Ink Spot is my cat”, I protested wildly but I had to admit the truth ofMom’s words.Standing on the sidewalk, I was at a loss as to what todo.Staring at Ink Spot for a while, I couldn’t stand the anger anylonger.注意:1.續寫詞數應為150左右;2. 請按如下格式作答。I walked towards Mrs Cleary’s house hurriedly and knocked at thedoor angrily.
