本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了卧室里的亮度对人们健康的影响：过于强烈的光线会影响人体的生物钟，影响人的情绪，还有可能使人肥胖。1．解析：选A。主旨大意题。第一段第一句点明了文章的主题，即有研究表明，在光线太强的房间里睡觉可能会导致体重增加。故选A项。2．解析：选B。词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句中“Thelightisdisruptingthebodyclock”和第二句可知，本段主要讲述的是光线会干扰生物钟，会改变情绪、体力、甚至人体处理食物的方式，由此可推知，画线单词意为“干扰”，与B项disturbing意义接近。故选B项。3．解析：选A。篇章结构题。根据第四段第一句“Thelightisdisruptingthebodyclock...”及最后一句中的“Artificiallightisknowntodisruptthebodyclock”可知，本段主要解释了光线会干扰人体生物钟的可能原因。故选A项。4．解析：选D。观点态度题。根据最后一段第一句中“therewouldbenoharmintryingtomakebedroomsdarker”及最后一句可以看出，DerkJanDijk教授赞成将卧室的亮度调暗。故选D项。CIntheUnitedStatesalone，over100millioncellphonesarethrownawayeachyear.Cellphonesarepartofagrowingmountainofelectronicwastelikecomputersandpersonaldigitalassistants.Theelectronicwastestreamisincreasingthreetimesfasterthantraditionalgarbageasawhole.Electronicdevicescontainvaluablemetalssuchasgoldandsilver.ASwissstudyreportedthatwhiletheweightofelectronicgoodsrepresentedbypreciousmetalswasrelativelysmallincomparisontototalwaste，theconcentration(含量)ofgoldandotherpreciousmetalswashigherinsocalledewastethaninnaturallyoccurringminerals.Electronicwastesalsocontainmanypoisonousmetals.Evenwhenthemachinesarerecycledandtheharmfulmetalsremoved，therecyclingprocessofteniscarriedoutinpoorcountries，inpracticallyuncontrolledwayswhichallowmanypoisonoussubstancestoescapeintotheenvironment.11\nCreatingproductsoutofrawmaterialscreatesmuchmorewastematerial，upto100timesmore，thanthematerialcontainedinthefinishedproducts.Consideragainthecellphone，andimaginetheminesthatproducedthosemetals，thefactoriesneededtomaketheboxandpackaging(包装)itcamein.Manywastesproducedintheproducingprocessareharmfulaswell.TheU．S.EnvironmentalProtectionAgencynotesthatmostwasteisdangerousinthat“theproduction，distribution，anduseofproducts—aswellasmanagementoftheresultingwaste—allresultingreenhousegasrelease.”Individualscanreducetheircontributionbycreatinglesswasteatthestart—forinstance，buyingreusableproductsandrecycling.Inmanycountriestheconceptofextendedproducerresponsibilityisbeingconsideredorhasbeenputinplaceasanincentive(动机)forreducingwaste.Ifproducersarerequiredtotakebackpackagingtheyusetoselltheirproducts，wouldtheyreducethepackaginginthefirstplace?Governments'incentivetorequireproducerstotakeresponsibilityforthepackagingtheyproduceisusuallybasedonmoney.Why，theyask，shouldcitiesortownsberesponsibleforpayingtodealwiththebubblewrap(气泡垫)thatencasedyourtelevision?Fromthegovernments'pointofview，aprimarygoaloflawsrequiringextendedproducerresponsibilityistotransferboththecostsandthephysicalresponsibilityofwastemanagementfromthegovernmentandtaxpayersbacktotheproducers.文章大意：文章主要讲述了电子垃圾的产生、危害以及相关解决措施。1．BymentioningtheSwissstudy，theauthorintendstotellusthat________.A．theweightofegoodsisrathersmallB．ewastedeservestobemadegooduseofC．naturalmineralscontainmorepreciousmetalsD．thepercentageofpreciousmetalsisheavyinewaste答案：B 推断判断题。结合第二段第一句“Electronicdevicescontainvaluablemetalssuchasgoldandsilver.”可知，该段主要讲述电子设备中包含有很多贵重的金属；下文引用瑞士的研究进一步论证电子垃圾中的贵重金属含量比自然矿产中的高。由此可知，作者提及瑞士的研究旨在告诉我们电子垃圾应该得到很好的利用。故正确答案为B。2．Theresponsibilityofewastetreatmentshouldbeextended________.A．fromproducerstogovernmentsB．fromgovernmentstoproducers11\nC．fromindividualstodistributorsD．fromdistributorstogovernments答案：B

主旨大意题。本文从电子垃圾与日俱增这一现象出发，分析了电子垃圾治理的必要性，并对一些国家政府将电子垃圾治理的责任延伸到生产者这一考虑进行评述。由此可知，本文通篇是围绕着电子垃圾治理这一话题展开的。故正确答案为D。D(2022·陕西省质量检测二)Whetheritiselementaryschool,middleschool,orhighschoolintheUnitedStates,therewillalwaysbeanawardsceremonyattheendoftheyear.Thoughitvariesfromschooltoschool,thereareafewthataregivenbymostschoolsacrossthenation.Thefirstoneisgivenfromgrades3to8anditistheHonorRollAward.Inelementaryandmiddleschool,thisawardisusedtorecognizeacademicexcellence.Thisawardisalsoseparatedintotwogroups:AHonorRollandA/BHonorRoll.Itisgivenoutattheendofaschoolyearandstudentswhoreceiveallaveragesofa93orabove(90insomestates)onafinalreportcardreceiveanAHonorRoll,andstudentswithgradesabove85(80insomestates)wouldreceiveanA/BHonorRoll.ItistorewardstudentswhohaveworkedhardandreceivedallA’sorA’sandB’s.Inhighschool,thisischangedabit,butstillcanbeclassifiedasthesame11\ntypeofaward.Thedifferenceisthatinsteadofusingthescale(等级)of100,theyuseagradepointaverage(GPA)basedona4pointscale.TheyrecognizestudentswithahighGPAas“HonorStudents”．Ifthestudentskeepitupforallfouryearsofhighschool,thentheygraduatewithhonors.AnothernotableawardisthePresident’sAwardforEducationalExcellence.ThisisgivenbythePresident’sEducationAwardsProgrameachyeartostudentsallovertheUnitedStates.Thisawardisofferedtoelementaryschool，middleschoolandhighschoolstudents.Tobeeligible(有资格的)forthisaward,middleschoolandelementaryschoolstudentsmustearnanaveragegradeof90oraboveona109pointscale.HighschoolstudentsmusthaveaGPAofatleast3.5.Studentsmustalsohaveahighscoreonastatewideornationalstandardizedtestorhavearecommendationfromateacher.Usuallythisawardisgivenattheendoftheyear.Itisacertificatewithasignaturefromthepresidentalongwithaletterofrecognition.However,manypeopleconfusethePresident’sAwardforEducationalExcellencewithanotheraward,theUSPresidentialScholarsProgram.Eventhoughbothhavetheword“President”inthetitle,theyarecompletelydifferentawards.WherethePresident’sAwardforEducationalExcellenceisrelativelyeasytoachieve,theawardfromthePresidentialScholarsProgramisnot.ToearnthehonorofbeingaPresidentialScholar,astudentmustbeahighschoolseniorlastyearofhighschoolwithoutstandingstandardizedtestscores.1．If,inmostoftheschoolsintheUS,astudentinGrade5wantstogetanAHonorRoll,he/shemustgetallaveragesofa(n)________．11\nA．93B．85C．90D．802．Fromthepassageweknowthatthestudentswho________cangraduatewithhonors.A．keepupthegradesof100inhighschoolformorethanoneyearB．getaveragesof100inhighschoolforallfouryearsofhighschoolC．getahighGPAinhighschoolformorethanoneyearD．arerecognizedas“HonorStudents”forallfouryearsofhighschool3．IfhighschoolstudentsaretowinthePresident’sAwardforEducationalExcellence,whichofthefollowingstatementsshouldbeincluded?A．Anaveragegradeof90oraboveona100pointscale.B．Arecommendationfromateacher.C．AGPAofatleast3.5inanationalstandardizedtest.D．Ahighschoolseniorwithoutstandingstandardizedtestscores.4．Thebesttitleforthispassagemaybe“________”．A．AwardsinelementaryandmiddleschoolsB．AwardsinschoolsoftheUnitedStatesC．HowhighschoolsrewardtheirstudentsD．It’seasytowinawardsinschools【解题导语】
