21、 In the middle of winter, when snow is falling in many parts of the United States，scientists have sounded a warning to people who plan to spend many hours in the sun this summer. The warming is: The sun's summertime rays are more dangerous than once thought.
A team of scientists from 80 nations recently reported to the United Nations that a layer of ozone in the atmosphere，which protects humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation, will be thinner over the United States this summer. The thinner layer allows more ultraviolet rays from the sun to reach Earth. The extra amount of ultraviolet radiation could cause an increase in the number of cases of skin cancer.
Scientists first became concerned about the ozone layer in the mid-1980s when a hole was discovered in the layer above Antarctica during the winter. The hole was caused by chemicals used in refrigerators and air conditioners. When these chemicals are sent out into the atmosphere, they produce gases that destroy the ozone.
Concern about the protective ozone layer rose more recently when data from satellites and ground stations showed that ozone levels were dropping over areas other than Antarctica. Low ozone levels were recorded in the spring and summer over the United States and over other populated areas in the world.
Although many countries have already begun stopping the use of ozone destroying chemicals, the new findings are expected to advance the timetable for a total ban of the chemicals.
【1】What do we know about the hole in the ozone layer?
A．It was first discovered in the 19th century.
B．It only appears in winters of a year.
C．It can protect human from ultraviolet rays.
D．It was caused by particular chemicals.
【2】Which can best describe scientists' attitude to the condition of ozone layer?
A．Worried.
B．Scared.
C．Favorable.
D．Surprised.
【3】Why do people become more concerned about ozone layer?
A．Because the weather became worse and worse.
B．Because they knew ozone levels were dropping.
C．Because air pollution caused more cancer cases.
D．Because ozone destroying chemicals were banned.
【4】We can infer that ________.
A．people may not get skin cancer in winters
B．it is unnecessary to totally ban the chemicals
C．many countries have realized the damage of the chemicals
D．the situation become less serious in the past few years
22、 Our planet is always changing and its systems are constantly working together to keep a kind of balance.【1】.
All living things are connected to each other in ecosystems by food chains and food webs.【2】. Herbivores (species that don’t eat meat) get energy by eating plants. Carnivores (species that eat meat) get energy by eating herbivores.This is how energy flows through all ecosystems — starting from the sun.
【3】, the survival of the entire system, along with every living thing that depends on it for survival, hangs in the balance. For example, if someone decides to spray a poisonous pesticide on plants to keep bugs from eating them, then lizards may accidentally take in that poison when they eat the plants and cats may be poisoned, too, when they catch and eat the lizards.【4】. Rats carry diseases that are even more dangerous for humans.
【5】.If the eruption is very big, it could do a lot of damage besides killing thousands of people. A volcanic eruption spreads huge amounts of ash and gases into the atmosphere and around the globe, which could cause temperatures worldwide to fall. And when temperatures change dramatically like this, it affects crop patterns and could lead to massive food shortages.
A．Plants get energy from the sun
B．Another example is when a volcano erupts
C．When any one part of an ecosystem chain breaks
D．If we don’t take measures to protect our environment
E．With no cats around, the rat population could explode
F．All forms of life depend on this balance for their existence
G．These gases help keep the world from being too hot or too cold
23、 Working out can help teenagers boost their grades, a new study suggests. Adolescents who routinely engaged in moderate to vigorous（剧烈的）exercise showed long-term improvements in their academic performance, the British Journal of Sports Medicine study reported.
“Our study suggests that the effect of physical activity may be quite large,” John Reilly, a professor at the University of Strathclyde said. The researchers looked at a sample of about 5000 children who were involved in a long-term study that tracks children born in the UK between 1991 and 1992. When children reached 11 years old, their daily physical activity levels were measured using an accelerometer（加速器）for three to seven days. The device, similar to a pedometer（计步器）tracking the number of steps taken, recorded the average time children exercised, which was 29 minutes a day for boys and 18 for girls.
“The actual levels of daily physical activity at age 11 were quite low,” Mr. Reilly noted. The children had their academic performance tested at ages 11 and 13 with compulsory national tests for students, and also at 15 or 16 with the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exam. The tests assessed the children’s abilities in English, math and science subjects. The results showed that the more children participated in moderate to vigorous physical activity, the higher their test scores were at age 11 in all three subjects. For girls, science scores were most strongly linked to exercise.
When children were tested again at age 13, their academic scores were still linked to how much they had exercised when they were 11 years old. By the time the youngsters took the GCSE exam, each 17-minute-per‑day increase in physical activity for the boys was linked to an improvement in their scores. Every additional 12-minute increase a day in exercise for the girls was also linked to an increased score, especially in the science category.
The researchers have called for more studies to look at the possible academic benefits that could be derived if students exercised the recommended 60 minutes or more a day.
【1】What’s the study about?
A.The influence of exercise on students’ scores.
B.The secrets of students’ ranking high in class.
C.The causes of students’ participating in sports.
D.The ways of improving students’ physical conditions.
【2】What is the function of the device used in the study?
A.To record how long students exercise.
B.To record the walking speed of students.
C.To record how many steps students walk.
D.To record the number of calories students consume.
【3】What do the study’s results show?
A.Students at age 11 do more exercise than at other ages.
B.Boys at age 13 get more benefits by doing more exercise.
C.Girls’ science scores are more closely related to exercise.
D.More and more students do exercise to improve their scores.
【4】What does the underlined word “derived” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A.adopted. B.acquired.
C.concluded. D.displayed.
24、As we all know, it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of the Independence. He wrote it in two weeks, and after a few changes, it was accepted by the Congress. As a result, he became famous.
Born in Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, a brilliant student at school and almost talented lawyer later, was much interested in politics.
Jefferson was elected Governor of Virginia in 1779, and he was sent to France as the representative of the American government in 1784. Sixteen years later, at the age of 57, he was elected president after Washington and Adams.
Far from a handsome man, he was tall with long arms and big hands. Jefferson, who was an amusing talker in conversation but a poor speaker, was generally good-natured.
Jefferson was regarded as a defender of freedom on America. As a president, he protected the right of free speech. Interestingly enough, in his eight years as President, Jefferson never vetoed a bill which Congress had passed. He did a lot in organizing the new University of Virginia.
Thomas Jefferson died on July the fourth, 1826, the 50th anniversary of American Independence.
