Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one thats completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.” The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 minutes to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” time since you havent been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight. Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “Ithelps keep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know its for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky.18.The lights are turned down before take off to help passengers_.A. take a short break B. escape in time of emergency C. create a warm atmosphere D. adapt their eyes to the bright environment19. What is one of the roles of shortening “dark adaptation” time?A. Slowing down the landing. B. Adjusting the plane lights.C. Keeping passengers calm. D. Helping the crew judge outside risks.20. What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Dimming lights B. The escape process C. Reducing tension D. The passage.21. What is the text mainly about?A. A tip of air travel. B. An emergency event on a plane.C. A warning message on a plane. D. An explanation of an airline safety measure.D Known for its historic stone paths and traffic-jammed streets , France forgoes（放弃）traditional bricks and pavement for shiny solar panels（嵌板）with its new roadway project . French officials announced plans to construct a 1,000-kilometer-long solar roadway , with each kilometer capable of providing enough cheap , renewable energy to power 5,000 homes .“ The maximum effect of the program , if successful , could be to furnish 5 million people with electricity , or about 8 percent of the French population ,” Segolence Royal , Frances minister of ecology and energy , said at a conference , reports Global Construction Review .The street - or “ Wattway ”-was made possible through the cooperation between the National Institute of Solar Energy and French civil engineering firm Colas . Tests for the road will begin in the spring . The entire project will take an estimated five years to complete , but builders wont have to destroy existing roads in the meantime . Only about a quarter of an inch thick , the solar panels can simply be glued on top of existing streets and are durable（耐用的）enough to bear heavy traffic and weather conditions .Despite the bad traffic Parisians associate with their journey to work every day , the average French roadway is packed for only 10 percent of the day , according to Colas figures . That will leave the solar street with the majority of the day to gather energy from the sun , which makes the project quite promising . The panels collect solar power through a thin layer of poly-crystalline silicon（多晶硅）and change it into electricity . Electrical connections can be put into existing traffic structures .France wont be the first country to roll out a solar road . A 70-meter solar bike path was set up in the Netherlands in 2014 . Within six months , the path had created enough to power a house for an entire year.22. Why did France build Wattway ?A. To find a cheaper way of road construction . B. To provide electricity for home use .C. To produce power for passing cars . D. To improve traffic conditions .23. What is special about the solar panels of Wattway ?A. They can be recycled easily . B. They are made of cheap materials .C. They can be laid on top of present roads . D. They are so thick as to bear heavy traffic .24. Where can you find the reason why the solar road can collect energy most of the time ?A. In Paragraph 1 . B. In Paragraph 2 . C. In Paragraph 3 . D. In Paragraph 4 .25. Why does the author mention the bike path in the Netherlands ?A. To stress the importance of saving energy .B. To point out a new technology in road-building .C. To give credit to the government of the Netherlands .D. To give another successful example of a solar road .第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余选项。Lets be real.
