(2015·浙江，C)If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars，we would go in darkness happily，the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动的) species on this planet。

Instead，we are diurnal creatures，with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light。

This is a basic evolutionary fact,even though most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal beings.Yet it's the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night：We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light。

The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences—called light pollution—whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study。

Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design，which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky。

(2016•天津，D)Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has.There is nothing more tiring than no succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways：as startup fatigue(疲惫) and performance fatigue.In the former case，we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult.And the longer we delay it，the more tired we feel.Such startup fatigue is very real，even if not actually physical，not something in our muscles and bones.The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply：always handle the most difficult jobfirst.Years ago，I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors.Applying my own rule，I determined to write them in alphabetical order (按字母顺序)，never letting myself leave out a tough idea.And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essaywriting.Experience provedthat the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.Though willing to get started，we cannot seem to do the job right.Its difficulties appear so great that，however hard we work，we fail again and again.In such a situation，I work as hard as Ican—then let the unconscious take over. When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》)，I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles.Nothing like this had ever been done before，and day after day I kept coming up with solutions，but none of them worked.My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day，mentally exhausted，I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved.I triedto convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself，not with me.Relieved，I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later，I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind.In the weeks that followed，the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step.Though I worked as hard as before，I felt no fatigue.Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings，I believe，must try to succeed.Success，then，means never feeling tired. 【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。

(2016·全国Ⅲ，D)Bad news sells.If it bleeds，it leads.No news is good news，and good news is no news。

Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored（监控) in different ways,researchers are discovering new rules.By tracking people's e.mails and online posts，scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The ‘if it bleeds' rule works for mass media," says Jonah Berger，a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.“They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling.But when you share a story with your friends，you care a lot more how they react。

(2015·全国Ⅱ，A)My color television has given me nothing but a headache.I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model.I realized this a day later，when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed_off for the night.Fortunately，I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise.For some reason，when certain shows switched into a commercial，a loud noise would sound for a few seconds.Gradually，this noise began to appear during a show，and to get rid of it，I had to change to another channel and then change it back.Sometimes this technique would not work，and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound.I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise，I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist，and it stopped working altogether.My trip to the repair shop cost me $62，and the set is working well now，but I keep expecting more trouble.【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。

(2016·全国Ⅱ，B)Five years ago，when I taught art at a school in Seattle，I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students。

I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student,and said:“Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for what the rest of the week."A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do。

Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided。

Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time。

His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student。
