B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It is 5 am and it’s too dark to see the fields of volcanic rock and trees on either side of the highway. But over the lights of my ear, I get a taste of the 41 I’m really here for, as a few stars Pierce (渗透) the inky 42 sky.

Today our relationship to the universe is largely connected byes 43 , such as telescopes and NASA assignments. But for thousands of years, humans could 44 look up on a clear night to be 45 at the bright spots that stretched (延伸) directly over them.

But over time, we’ve 46 ourselves from our sky, building a covering of artificial light between ourselves and the dark depth of space. Our 47 , neon signs (霓虹灯), and other electric lights are increasingly flooding the night sky and 48 the stars. 49 , about one third of the world’s population cannot see the Milky Way from where they live. And some can’t even recognize it. The sense of wonder for the night sky 50 , and that means something vital to humanity is lost as well.

That’s why I’ve dragged myself out of bed hours before 51 . Like 99 percent of Americans, I live with 52 pollution and I’ve never seen a truly night sky. So I’m here to 53 my first glance.

As I 54 out of the ear, I 55 raise my face up towards the sky, worrying whether I can make it. There it is, 56 across the sky as far as I can see. The Milky Way is so vivid that my eyes don’t even have to 57 the dark to see it.

I expect to feel the 58 of the sky, perhaps as though I’m falling into a bottomless hole. Instead, the blanket of stars above me is so thick that it is hard to 59 . In black and white, the whole scene feels surreal.

As I get back in the ear, I pass a 60 that says “Never Stop Looking Up.” 41. A. view 42. A. clear 43. A. emotion 44. A. completely 45. A. depressed 46. A. excused

B. issue B. black B. survey B. hardly B. frightened B. distanced

曾经，繁星成就了夜空，但随着城市发展和科技进步，夜空更亮了，繁星都不见了——本文作者就是在这样的背景下，到户外来寻找那一片繁星。 41. A 42. B 43. D

作者来这是来寻找繁星的美景的，所以选view。

通过前面的inky(漆黑的）以及整句几颗星星穿透可知应该是“黑色的”天空。

从后面的telescope和NASA assignment可知是通过“科技”将人类和宇宙联系起来，故选technology。

44. C

词句存在对比，根据句意，可知几千年以前，我们仅仅（simply）抬个头就能惊讶于（amazed）眼前闪亮的星星布满他们头顶的星空。

45. D 46. B

参考上句解析。

从整句话的理解可知，我们是使自己远离了星空（distanced），在人类和星空之间建造了一层人造灯光。

47. C

从霓虹灯（neon signs），和其他的电光源（other electric lights）可以推断出47空所填的为electric lights中的一种，即streetlights。

48. A

从前面这些光越来越多地涌向（flooding）夜空，可以得知后面是遮盖住（covering）了星星，因此，导致世界三分之一的人口现在从他们居住的地方是看不到银河了。

49. C

参考48句解析。

2

50. B 51. A 52. D 53. B 54. A 55. C 56. D 57. A 58. C 59. D

从后半句也消失了（is lost as well），可知前面说的是对于夜空的惊奇感消失（disappear）了。 看星星肯定是在黑夜里看，所以这里肯定是在日出之前。 根据前面段落的描述，可知是光污染（light pollution）。 作者来是寻找（search for）繁星的。

从后面作者抬头看向夜空，可以得知作者从车子里出来（step）。

从后面“ worrying”一词可以看出作者还是很紧张地（nervously）抬头，担心看不到星星。 从“as far as I can see”可以得知此处是延伸开来（stretching）。

根据整句，整个银河系是如此的生动以至于我的双眼不需要适应（adjust to）黑暗就能看到。 从后面的一个无底的深洞（a bottomless hole）可以得知作者是想感受这个星空到底有多深邃。 头顶的星星像一张毯子样，是如此厚重以至于很难测量（measure）星空的深度。

60. B根据句意，当我回到车上的时候，我经过了一个标牌（sign），上面写着“永远不要停止向上看”。

I wanted to be like everyone else at my school, 48 the brand new license they'd gotten. Looking back on that special day, I can't 49 if I was nervous. What I do remember is starting the test, pausing at a stop sign after a few 50 , and being asked by the instructor to pull over. I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop. I wasn't 51 that I was leaving without a license, but I was 52 everyone would know my result. So when I got to class, I told everyone I didn't take the 53 on my birthday. One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and 54 Later that night I 55 for the first time by myself, which brought to me an amazing feeling I've never experienced—but still, I couldn't 56 anyone the truth. So I didn't. It wasn't until midway through college that I came clean. And I 57 enough courage to speak the 58 out.
