Want to help butterflies A new study suggests turning off the lights.
Light pollution at night can disturb its abilities to recognize directions，researchers have found.Artificial light can disrupt their circadian(昼夜节律的) rhythms and affect their sense of directions.That can make the butterflies disoriented when they try to fly the next day.
“Darkness is important to butterflies since the internal circadian clock of butterflies functions normally when they are exposed to natural day-night lighting cycles，”study author Patrick Guerra，an assistant professor at the University of Cincinnati，tells Treehugger.
Monarch butterflies migrate(迁徙) by the millions each year，making the trip from northern areas of the continent to California and Mexico and back.Because most butterflies only live for a few weeks to a few months，it takes several generations of butterflies to complete the migration.But too much light at the wrong time can urge the butterflies to take off when they should be resting instead for their voyage.
“As monarch butterflies are a threatened species with their population numbers in decline，we wanted to see what types of environmental stress might be linked to their decline，”Guerra says.
For their study，researchers conducted lab studies where they reproduced the effects of artificial light pollution with butterflies using a flight simulator(模拟器)．
They first tested if monarchs treated a single，artificial light source as if it were the actual sun during the day.Once they established what they did，they then tested how the monarchs would behave when exposed to this same artificial light source during their night.
Butterflies stayed quiet and unmoving when they were first placed in the flight simulator in the dark.But as soon as scientists turned on the light，they started flying.The light made them believe that night was day and this can cause them to fly longer at night or start flying too early.
“These findings demonstrate how urbanization can negatively affect important biological phenomena，and therefore allow us to understand how human activity impacts the rest of nature，”Guerra says.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了光污染对黑脉金斑蝶产生的影响，实验表明光污染会扰乱黑脉金斑蝶的昼夜规律，干扰其识别方向的能力，从而造成蝴蝶数量的减少。
4．What does the underlined word “disoriented”in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Slowed down. B．Died off.
C．Felt sleepy. D．Got lost.
答案 D
解析 词义猜测题。上文提到灯光会干扰蝴蝶的昼夜规律，干扰它们识别方向的能力，由此判断这可能会让蝴蝶在第二天努力飞行时迷失方向。故画线词意为“迷路”。故选D。
5．What did the researchers want to find out in the study
A．Why monarch butterflies migrate.
B．What reduced the number of monarch butterflies.
C．Why darkness is important to monarch butterflies.
D．How monarch butterflies adapt to the environment.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知，研究的目的是想知道哪种环境压力造成了黑脉金斑蝶数量的下降。故选B。
6．What might be used in the experiment
A．A flashlight. B．The sun.
C．The moon. D．A clock.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第七段首句“They first tested if monarchs treated a single，artificial light source as if it were the actual sun during the day.”可知，研究人员首先测试了黑脉金斑蝶是否会将单一的人造光源当作白天的真正太阳，由此推断实验中有可能会用到手电筒。故选A。
7．What can be the best title for the text
A．Natural Light Is Important to Insects
B．Monarch Butterflies Are in Great Danger
C．Butterflies React Actively to Air Pollution
D．Light Pollution Can Affect Butterfly Migration
答案 D
解析 标题归纳题。根据第二段的“Light pollution at night can disturb...their sense of directions.”以及下文内容可知，本文主要介绍了一项实验，实验表明光污染会对黑脉金斑蝶识别方向的能力造成影响，从而影响蝴蝶的迁徙。因此推断D项“光污染会影响蝴蝶的迁徙”为最佳标题。故选D。
