This “blanket” protects the earth from dangerous rays produced by the sun. Without the ozone layer, the earth’s climate could warm to dangerous levels. This increase in temperature would threaten our survival. Scientists recently have discovered a hole in the ozone layer above the Antarctica. Now there is great concern that this warning has started, endangering all life on the earth. What has destroyed part of the ozone layer? Scientists do not know for sure. They suspect that our popular spray cans (喷漆罐) have played a part in the damage. Many spray cans contain dangerous gases. These gases might have destroyed the ozone layer fifteen miles above the earth’s surface, The chemicals used in refrigerators (冰箱) and air conditioners may contribute to the problem, too. Many scientists believe that the destruction of the ozone layer is a serious problem for people everywhere. Global warming could change weather patterns around the world. Farmers and ranchers(牧场主) could find it more and more difficult to produce enough food for the earth’s people. If more of the sun’s dangerous rays reached the earth, there also could be an increase in skin cancers. Some skin cancers might cause people to die. Although some scientists do not believe there is a serious danger, obviously no one wants to take any chance on such a possibility. Can scientists repair the hole in the ozone layer? They really don’t know the answer to that question. Can people do anything to save the ozone layer that the earth still has? Scientists stress the need to limit the use of spray cans and other items that contain the dangerous gases. This will not be an easy task. People all over the world use these items. Solving the problem certainly will require commitment and cooperation from everyone. 35. The ozone layer exists to _____. A. warm the earth to a proper level for life B. protect the earth from dangerous sun rays C. make all life on the earth in a dangerous situation D. prevent human beings from being harmed from the earth 36. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Scientists aren’t sure what has destroyed part of the ozone layer. B. Scientists recently have discovered a hole in the Antarctica. C. Scientists prove that spray cans have destroyed part of the ozone layer. D. Global warming doesn’t affect weather patterns around the world. 37. The following may do harm to the ozone layer EXCEPT ______. A. spray cans B. refrigerators C. ranchers D. air conditioners 38. Saving the ozone layer needs everyone’s effort because _____. A. scientists are badly in need of others’ help B. items containing dangerous gases should be forbidden C. scientists can’t afford so much money to take measures D. people all over the world use items containing dangerous gases C There used to be a term that was used to describe someone who drove their vehicles down the highway while staring at the scenery. These drivers just drove slowly, taking their own sweet time, as if they had nothing to do and no place in particular to go. Thus, the expression, “Sunday driver”, was born. Consequently, a Sunday driver wasn’t necessarily someone who was driving on a Sunday. A person could be a Sunday driver any day of the week. The expression simply meant that the person was an obstacle to other drivers who were in a hurry. The expression probably came about because there was a time when people would often decide to go for a relaxing drive on Sunday afternoons. A Sunday drive was a common occurrence years ago and especially on a nice warm sunny day. There were no stores open on Sunday because of the “blue laws”, so you needed to be sure and fill up the gas tank and make any other needed purchases before Sunday arrived. Some of the states had strict blue laws that even prohibited some activities on Sunday. However, there is still a lot to be said for the slow, gentle life that once existed. It was a time when very few people worked on Sunday except for those professions vital to our well-being such as those in the medical profession. It was a day “set apart” that was used to rest, visit with neighbors and friends, or maybe go to grandma’s house for supper. Today there are many who return to work and children who go back to school overly tired on Monday due to a lack of rest. Perhaps there would be less stress related illnesses if we really kept Sunday as a day of rest. 39. According to the passage, “Sunday driver” refers to the person who ______. A. drives his vehicle on Sundays B. drives for fun and relaxation C. enjoys a weekend break D. makes a Sunday purchase 40. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph l mean? A. Sunday drivers affected traffic flow B. Sunday drivers drove too slowly C. Sunday drivers increased traffic speed D. Sunday drivers felt hatred for other drivers 41. What kind of activity was strictly prohibited on Sunday by the laws? A. Visiting with neighbors and friends. B. Going to the hospital to see a doctor. C. Having a family get-together. D. Selling goods or services. 42. According to the author, Sunday rest would help people______. A. earn a lot more money B. experience less pressure C. keep pace with society D. improve academic performance D Nobody Benefits NEW YORK—America has been experiencing the longest economic increase in its history．Incomes have risen, unemployment has fallen, and cities such as New York are bursting with new office buildings． But just a short walk from Manhattan's skyscrapers, George Brown sits on the side-walk, cooking a lunch of rice and bits of fish over a can of cooking fuel． Brown is homeless — one of the 2.3 million people in the US who end up on the street． During the day, Brown collects aluminium cans and sells them for five cents a piece．At night, he sleeps on the street． "I have been on the street about eight or nine years, something like that," said the 62-year-old former construction worker． Brown admits he's had problems with alcohol and has smoked cocaine．But he said he still wants a more stable housing arrangement．He could afford it just with the money he earns by collecting cans and small pieces of metal, if only truly low-income housing were available． However, he sees no hope of finding affordable housing in New York． With the strong economy and unemployment down, beautiful housing is being built to meet demand． A US report shows rents in New York city rose more than 27 percent between 1984 and 1999, from US $549 to US $700 a month． One of the side effects of the strong economy is that rents have been going up． The majority of people who experience homelessness really just need some affordable housing help． But few housing companies have been built for the poor．Many small apartments in the city now rent for US $1,500 a month or more． Brown, the homeless New Yorker, said he has a daughter who lives in the city but he rarely sees her．She is angry about his drinking and won't allow it in her house． Smiling, he said he also has seven grandchildren whom he'd like to see more often． "All I've got to do is clean up my act," he said． 43．What kind of life does George Brown lead?

A．America is short of housing companies B．the poor can't benefit from the increasing economy C．poor people in America will become rich D．housing companies will build more houses for the poor 46．If this passage comes from a paper, on which page would it be? A．Society． B．Science． C．Economy． D．Business． E It is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere. How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them. Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side. Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are. 47. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “freak out” in Paragraph 1? A. Feel shy. B. Stay calm. C. Keep up. D. Feel upset. 48. In Paragraph 2, the writer implies that ______.

To prove. D. To explain. 第二节 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项多余选项。（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） A: Advance Reservations．Can I help you?

The traditional method of stamp collecting is to organize stamp collection according to the issue dates. [2]Of course, there are many methods of collecting stamps. You can collect stamps relating to a particular theme. For example, sport lovers may choose the Olympic theme. They try their best to find Olympic stamps issued by various parts of the world every four years. Some of them may want to concentrate on even more specific sport activities like ball games, gymnasium, swimming, etc. [3]If you like astronomy, you may be keen on collecting stamps describing the stars, planets, spacecraft, spacemen, etc. once you have fixed the topic, you no longer need to bother about stamps other than the theme you selected. Then, you can put all your effort to collect the stamps around it. [4]China issues zodiac animal stamps (十二生肖邮票) every year to celebrate the Lunar New Year. They are extremely popular and a lot of collectors wait patiently for 12 years to collect a full set of them. Hong Kong’s Lunar New Year special stamp series began in 2000 with the Year of Dragon and the twelfth and final set was issued in 2011, the Year of Rabbit. Recently some Western countries have issued zodiac animal stamps, which attract a lot of attention as well. [5]You may choose any theme you like. However, you should bear in mind an essential point. The topic you choose should not be too narrow. Otherwise, it is very difficult to collect stamps around the topic. You will be depressed and even lose your interest in collecting stamps. [6]Collecting stamps with these is especially popular among teenagers because there is a wide range of choices for them. The main challenge is how you organize and expand your collection around your theme. 56．What is the main idea of the passage? （no more than 5 words） 57．What should you do if you want to collect a full set of zodiac animal stamps? （no more than 7 words ） 58．Why shouldn’t your topic be too narrow ? （no more than 10 words ） 59.

Usually a student with good study habits get twice the result with half the efforts. Therefore, it is important that we should form good habits when we study. There is no doubt that making a suitable timetable is the first necessary pace in order to divide the time into a few parts well , so I always make a schedule for study. Moreover, whichever subjects you study, thinking is a most important factor rather than just direct reciting, which is useless. So I develop the habit of thinking and solving problems with the help of reference books, for example, a dictionary. Still, I learn to sum up what has been learned, seize every chance to learn and make use of all kinds of learning resources. Remember that good study habits are important to success. 1
