Day light is needed to keep the balance of the bodys 24-hour biological system (生物系统), which regulates (调节) body temperature and sleep styles,”reports Dr. Mariana Figueiro. “These teenagers who receive little morning light are going to bed later, getting less sleep and doing badly in tests. They are more likely to fail in their exams.”In the study, Dr. Figueiro asked 11 students in Grade 8 to wear special glasses to prevent blue morning light from reaching their eyes. At the end of the 5-day study she found that they fell asleep 30 minutes later than usual.Throughout her research, Dr. Figueiro has been very worried about teenagers going to bed too late. The problem is that todays schools require teenagers to be in school very early in the morning. These students are likely to miss the morning light because they often go to school before the sun is up or as its just rising.Furthermore (此外), the schools are not likely to provide enough electric light to keep the balance of this biological system. Our biological system is much more sensitive (敏感的) to blue light. Therefore, having lots of light in the classroom does not make sure that there is enough light to keep our biological system balanced.（1）Which of the following is the result of the study?A . Blue light in the morning harms the biological system.B . Not enough morning light keeps teenagers sleep less.C . Not getting more light in the morning make teenagers happy.D . Not enough sleep makes teenagers fail in tests.（2）We know from the passage that morning light _.A . has the same effects as afternoon lightB . may change studying habits of teenagersC . is important to childrens biological systemD . has no effect on students tests（3）Whats the problem of the students according to the study?A . There are not enough electric lights in the classroom.B . Being in school early affects their study habits.C . They have to go to bed very early to have enough sleep.D . They go to school too early to get enough morning light.11. （10分）阅读理解New Years Day is coming. The students in Class 8 are preparing for a New Years party.

Others grow up small and unhealthy. In search of food, hungry deer move closer to where humans live. They eat farm crops, vegetables and even trees. Besides, increased numbers of deer near roads can cause traffic accidents.People admire the grace and fast speed of deer. Most people dont want these animals to be hungry and ill. Should people take action to control the growing deer populations?Should People Take Direct Action?Many people think that hunting(打猎) is the best way to control the animal populations. Wildlife managers will see if theres enough food in an area and decide its carrying capacity(容量). Then hunters with licenses are sent to help control the number of deer. Hunting is usually not allowed in cities or suburbs, however.Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places. But this method is expensive and requires finding another place that can accept the deer without breaking the balance of ecosystem(生态系统).Scientists are also working to develop chemicals(化学药品) to control the birth rate(率) in deer populations. But this plan works for only one year at a time.Should People Take Indirect Action?Some suggest bringing in natural enemies of deer, such as wolves, lions and bears, to areas with too many deer. But these animals could also hurt dogs, cats, and even humans. Other communities have built tall fences(篱笆) around areas to keep out the deer. However, this is impossible for farmers. Some people are against any kind of action. They support leaving the deer alone. Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time. Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness. But finally, the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity(容量) of the environment. So, let nature go its own way.（1）According to the passage, increased numbers of deer can bring to people in the area. A . water pollutionB . traffic accidentsC . serious illnessesD . growing populations（2）Which of the following is the best to fill in the in the passage? A . Should People Do Nothing?B . Should People Protect the Deer?C . Should People Take Special Action?D . Should People Drive the Deer Away?（3）The writer most probably agrees that . A . farmers can build fences to keep the deer outB . people should leave the deer alone in the wildC . hunting is the best way to control the deer populationsD . its great to catch the deer and move them to other places（4）The writer organizes this passage by . A . telling storiesB . using numbersC . giving opinionsD . describing scenes (场景)三、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共5分)13. （5分）Some Advice on SafetyAlways play in a safe place.
