Environmental groups and rock climbers are always at loggerheads because of the effect of rock climbing on the environment. There have been many examples, wherein rock climbers are accused of going into natural reserves and treating the animals, plants and rocks there badly. However, with the changing times, rock climbers are conscious and carry out minimal climbing.
Rock climbers hammer bolts (螺栓) on climbing routes and in the process damage the nature of rocks. In addition, climbing activities also have an effect on the animals and plants situated near the climbing area. The plants growing near the base of rocks are trampled (踩踏), and the animals living in the climbing area are forced out of their places, whenever humans are around. For example, during the summer climbing season, pregnant females of an endangered species of snake live in open areas like roadsides, exposed walls or rocks, where there is less canopy closure (树冠郁闭) compared to areas occupied by non-pregnant females and males. According to climbers, these open areas are very ft for climbing during summer.
Many rock climbers have understood the significance of wildlife plant and animal preservation and related issues, and therefore take measures to reduce effects on climbing areas. Considering the effect of climbing activities on natural reserves, various national parks and wildlife agencies have put forth certain regulations on climbers. There are seasonal closures of climbing areas to avoid illegal entrance of uninformed rock climbers.
Climbers are always expected to support wilderness preservation. Many environmental organizations have been formed to protect the environment and in the process draw up certain guidelines for rock climbers. Both sides have come to a common understanding of the effect of rock climbers on protected areas.
1.What does the underlined part “at loggerheads” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.In support. B.In difficulty.
C.In disagreement. D.In communication.
2.Why is the example of snakes mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A.To show how special their living habits are. B.To show rock climbing affects their lives.
C.To show climbers are exposed to great danger. D.To show how to avoid wild animals in summer.
3.What do environmental organizations do to preserve wilderness?
A.Give guidelines to rock climbers. B.Accuse climbers of their climbing.
C.Close some secured natural reserves. D.Encourage climbers to choose open areas.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.Efforts made to protect rock climbers. B.The recent popularity of rock climbing.

Blue light before bedtime can make it harder to sleep, and the screens on phones, computers and televisions give out plenty of blue light. This is all true. But if you consider blue light as a major problem affecting your sleep or your eye health, it’s time to change your mind.
Philip Yuhas, a professor of optometry (验光), writes at The Conversation, “Blue light isn’t a uniquely technological evil. It’s part of sunlight, and your eyes are exposed to plenty of it all the time. You’re fine.” The pigments (色素) and the lenses of our eyes actually block blue light fairly well—so in a sense, we already have built-in blue-blocking protection.
Adding more protection isn’t likely to help, though. You can buy glasses and screen filters (过滤器) that block blue light, but Yuhas points out they are probably a waste of money. He says, “The products that my patients ask about do not block out much blue light.” The leading blue-blocking anti-reflective coating, for example, blocks only about 15% of the blue light that screens give out.
You could get the same reduction just by holding your phone another inch from your face. Try it now and see if you notice a difference. No? Then it shouldn’t surprise you that a recent analysis concluded that blue-blocking glasses and coatings have no significant effect on sleep quality, comfort at the computer or retinal (视网膜的) health.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology doesn’t recommend blue-blocking products, either. Instead, if you’re concerned about your eye health or your ability to get into sleep on time, you already know what to do: Put the screens away at bedtime. Read a book or find something else to do. While you’re using screens, take a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet away. If you get dry eyes when you look at screens for a long time, use artificial tears.
1.What do we know about blue light?
A.It produces kinds of pigments. B.It does serious harm to our health.
C.It can be blocked by our eyes effectively. D.It is a unique product of electronics.
2.What can be learned about blue-blocking glasses from the text?
A.They are widely popular B.They are almost useless.
C.They are inaccessible. D.They are reliable.
3.What does the author suggest readers do?
A.Try to wet dry eyes with tears. B.Keep a distance from blue light.
C.Stop using screens in the evening. D.Have regular breaks when using screens.
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Does blue light really affect your health? B.Are blue-blocking products recommended?
C.Where does blue light actually come from? D.How can we avoid the harm from blue light?
Morris, a well-known English violinist, had been exhausted from a day of recording at Abbey Road Studios when he exited the Southeastern Railway from London late last month. He was so tired that he didn’t even realize that he had left his beloved violin on the train until the following morning.
The violin is one of the few surviving instruments made by Roman craftsman David Tecchler in 1709. Not only is the violin worth $320,000, but Morris has also been playing the instrument for 15 years.
Feeling panic, Morris contacted the British Transport Police to see if it had been returned; unfortunately, officers checked the footage (录像) and saw that the violin had been picked up by another train passenger. Morris then created social media accounts to beg for the return of his instrument. The footage was shown in the news, and the person responsible for taking the violin was treated as a suspect.
Several days later, Morris received a phone call from someone who recognized the man on the train. Morris was then put in contact with the man who took the violin—and he had apparently been very eager to return the instrument. After promising the man that he wouldn’t be arrested, Morris met him in a grocery store parking lot so he could reunite with his beloved instrument.
The man apologized sincerely, saying he wanted to hand it to Morris in person. Morris found the instrument and the contents of its case were still in perfect condition. To his surprise, it was even still intune (音调准确). Morris was excited and deeply grateful for its return.
“I’m still getting over the shock of its coming back,” Morris admitted in an interview afterwards. Then he played a breathtaking piece of music Amazing Grace on his 310-year-old violin in front of the reporters.
1.What can we learn about the lost violin?
A.It’s valuable and important. B.It’s a gift from David Tecchler.
C.It’s the only violin Morris owns. D.It’s the oldest violin in the world.
2.What did Morris do first after he found his violin missing?
A.He spoke to reporters about it. B.He turned to the police for help.
C.He described his situation online. D.He returned to the train to look for it.
3.What do we know about the man who took the violin away?
A.He knew the violin was unique. B.He got in touch with Morris directly.
C.He was unwilling to return the violin. D.He felt afraid to be punished for his act.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Citizens protected an expensive violin
B.Strangers were connected by a special violin
C.A violinist reunited with his 310-year-old violin
D.An old violin was returned to its former owner
