試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了光污染。隨著人類生活的進步，太多的燈光也成為了一種污染。本文詳細的介紹了燈光污染的危害，并提出了相應的建議。

1.聯(lián)系下文描述，可知此處指的是讓我們很難看見一些生活中最精彩的景色，結合首字母可知填形容詞difficult，困難的，做賓語補足語。

2.聯(lián)系上下文，可知此處指的是行星，星球，故填復數(shù)名詞planets。

3.聯(lián)系下文，可知此處指的是用任何特殊的設備。Without是介詞，后面接名詞或者動名詞做賓語，結合首字母可知填動名詞using，用，作賓語。

4.聯(lián)系上下文，可知此處指的是大城市，結合首字母可知填復數(shù)名詞cities，城市。

5.句意：研究表明夜間的燈光也能傷害野生動物。結合語境可知本句描述的是客觀性動作，故用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)。主語research是抽象名詞，不可數(shù)，故謂語動詞用單數(shù)。填：shows，顯示，說明。

6.聯(lián)系下文，可知此處指的是當一只鳥越過城市飛到另一個地方時……，結合首字母可知填不定代詞another，多個中的另一個。

9.聯(lián)系上文描述，可知此處指的是為了防止事情變得更糟，故填bad的比較級worse，更壞的，作表語。

10.聯(lián)系上文描述，可知此處指的是真正需要的時候，結合首字母可知填副詞really，真正地，作狀語。

考點：短文中詞匯短語的運用能力

點評：首字母一直是英語考試中的難點，得分率比較低。解答此類題型的方法一般就是根據(jù)文章前后句子之間意思推斷出詞義，并結合首字母推斷出所缺單詞，然后根據(jù)該單詞在句子中的句子成分，所起作用，確定單詞詞形，進行適當詞形變化。
