If you thought pilots dimmed(调暗)the lights before take-off to give you some shut-eye, think again. Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.
The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers' eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. "Going from a brightly lit environment to one that's completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide," Alice Theriault, the service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. "Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers."
The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (斑点) as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 minutes to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your "dark adaptation" time since you haven't been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯)all flight.
Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, it also reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. "It helps keep you in the right direction," Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. "It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape." So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know it's for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your take-off into the sky.

2. What is one of the roles of shortening "dark adaptation" time

A. A tip of air travel.

答案以及解析
一、
1.答案:Sponsored
解析:考查过去分词。句意:在银行的资助下,他最终完成了学业。本句中已经存在谓语动词finished且句中没有连词,sponsor作为非谓语动词使用,它与句子主语he构成被动关系,故用过去分词作状语。故填Sponsored。
2.答案:running
解析:考查动名词。句意:他过去常常在夏天去游泳。现在他已经习惯跑步了。由固定短语“be used to doing习惯做某事”中的to为介词可知,该空应填动名词做宾语。故填running。
3.答案:to make
4.答案:limited
5.答案:to advertise
二、
6.答案:participate/join; in; surfing
解析:考查动词短语。由空格前的goes to可知, 该处的动词应填写原形,“参加”短语可用participate/join in, 故填participate/join; in; surfing。
7.答案:linked; with
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:他们意识到,与产品联系起来的想法有多吸引人并不重要。be linked with与……有关,此处省略be,用过去分词作后置定语修饰idea,故填①linked ②with。
8.答案:It; is; likely
解析:考查固定句型。结合句意表示“很可能……”句型为it be likely that..., it作形式主语, 结合后文keep可知用一般现在时。句首单词首字母要大写。故填①It ②is ③likely。
9.答案:In my opinion
10.答案:As a result of
三、
答案:1-4BDAD
解析:1.细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词"before take-off"可定位至第一段,由第一段第二句可知,飞行员在起飞前将机舱内灯光调暗是考虑到一旦有紧急情况发生,可以保护乘客的生命安全,赢得逃生时间,故B项正确。
2.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段倒数第二句可知,调低灯光亮度,缩短“黑暗适应期”可以使机组人员对舱外危险的评估判断变得更容易,故D项正确。
3.代词指代题。根据画线词所在句的上句可知,调低机舱内灯光的亮度不仅能够为乘客赢得宝贵的逃生时间, 而且还可以缓解视力紧张,再结合It所在句可知,It指代的是上文中出现的“调低灯光亮度的这种做法”,故A项正确。
4.主旨大意题。本文主要指出,飞行员在飞机起飞前调暗机舱内灯光的原因是为乘客的安全考虑。由此可知D 项正确。
