combination of young businessmen, large numbers of university students and revitalization (新生) efforts by the local and national governments, todays nanjing has an 36 of youthful exuberance (繁茂) that would have been 37 only a few decades ago. 38 , the city, a booming city of 6.5 million on the banks of the yangtze river some 185 miles west of shanghai, bears 39 resemblance to the former capital of china that suffered the worst cruelty and violence of world war ii. 40 nanjing has shown a remarkable capacity for reinvention during its 2,500-year history. and in recent years, the city has moved 41 its tragic past to become a vital engine of chinas economic growth, thanks 42 to its position in the middle of chinas prosperous eastern seaboard. growth has also 43 thanks to improved ground transportation: a new bullet train linking nanjing and shanghai started service last year, 44 travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a beijing-shanghai high-speed line is 45 to open later this year, with a stop in nanjing. within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030. signs of nanjings 46 wealth and optimism can be seen everywhere. in the heart of the downtown xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of sun yat-sen, 47 the father of modern china, looks 48 over a busy 49 area. there is perhaps no more 50 symbol of the citys transformation than the zifeng tower, a 1,480-foot skyscraper that opened its doors last may. 51 offices, restaurants and an intercontinental hotel, the tower is the second-tallest building in china and billed as the seventh-tallest in the world. underlying all this development is a large chinese and 52 student population there are several major universities, plus a branch of johns hopkinss international studies school. in fact, art and music 53 in all sorts of places. on a larger 54 , local government officials and private investors are pushing the city as a rising center for contemporary art and architecture, hoping to attract 55 from the neon-bathed streets of its neighbor shanghai. 36.a. advanceb. affectionc. aird. ability37.a. unforgettable b.

mr. hanson nodded toward the parking lot near where they stood. “please tell me more.” everett took a deep breath. “ever since the school closed two years ago, this area has become worse. but if we clean up the litter and repair the fence, it will be a great place for a skateboard park.” mr. hanson scanned the broken concrete, nodding. “the old school is being adapted to a community arts centre. this area could become a vital part of the neighbourhood again.” “heres a picture of a skateboard park in another town. look how busy it is.” everett was relieved that the community representative seemed receptive to the idea. mr. hanson studied the photograph, and then asked, “if town council provides the money, how will you and your friends contribute?” everett felt optimistic now. “well help design and build the ramps(坡道). more experienced boarders could give lessons to raise money!” everetts voice was enthusiastic. however, mr. hanson said, “well still need parking spaces, and the neighbours will not like late-night noise. they might worry about the crime of deliberately damaging public property and.”“the skateboard park would use only the back corner, which isnt near any houses. since young people already hang out here, why not give them something fun and physically active to do in their free time?”the lines over mr. hansons forehead unwrinkled (舒展), and everetts hopes rose again. “if everyone works together,” everett thought, “maybe this idea will become reality.”56. where were everett and mr. hanson talking? a. in the city hall.b. outside a park.c. near the parking lot. d. in the art centre.57. everett was trying to persuade mr. hanson to _. a. beautify the neighbourhoodb. provide money for a skateboard parkc. build an art centre for childrend. cut the area of the parking lot58. how did mr. hanson finally feel about everetts suggestion?a. curious. b. hopeful.c. receptive.d. enthusiastic.bwe all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue

the functions of different heater brandsc scientists from the university of east anglia have identified four new man-made gases that are contributing to the damage to the ozone(臭氧) layer. two of the gases are accumulating at a rate that is causing concern among researchers. worries over the growing ozone hole have seen the production of chlorofluorocarbon (cfc) gases restricted since the mid 1980s. but the precise origin of these new, similar substances remains a mystery. lying in the atmosphere, the ozone layer plays a critical role in blocking harmful uv rays, which cause cancers in humans and reproductive problems in animals. scientists from the british antarctic survey were the first to discover a huge hole in the ozone over antarctica in 1985. the evidence quickly pointed to cfc gases, which were invented in the 1920s, and were widely used in refrigeration. extraordinarily, global action was rapidly agreed to deal with cfcs and the montreal protocol to limit these substances came into being in 1987. a total global ban on production came into force in 2010. now, the newly discovered four new gases can destroy ozone and are getting into the atmosphere from as yet unidentified sources. three of the gases are cfcs and one is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (hcfc), which can also damage ozone. the research has shown that four gases were not around in the atmosphere at all until the 1960s, which suggests they are man-made. the scientists discovered the gases by analyzing polar snow pack. air from this snow is a natural archive of what was in the atmosphere up t0 100 years ago. the researchers also looked at modern air samples, collected at remote cape grim in tasmania. they estimate that about 74,000 tonnes of these gases have been released into the atmosphere. two of the gases are accumulating at significant rates. however, they dont know where the new gases are being released from and this should be investigated. possible sources include chemicals for insecticide（杀虫剂） production and solvents（溶液） for cleaning electronic components. the three cfcs are being destroyed very slowly in the atmosphere - so even if emissions（散发） were to stop immediately, they will still be around for many decades to come. of the four species identified, cfc-113a seems the most worrying as there is a very small but growing emission source somewhere, maybe from agricultural insecticides. we should find it and take it out of production.63. what do we know about the newly discovered gases? a. some are surely produced by the development of agriculture. b. the cfcs will have a long impact once they are released. c. they gather together in the atmosphere at a medium speed. d. their amounts are not large enough to cause damage to us.64. the underlined word archive in paragraph 6 is closest to the meaning of_ a. state b. resource c. phenomenon d. storeroom65. what will the scientists probably attempt to do about the gases next? a. find out what can replace things like insecticides and put them into use. b. find out how they destroy ozone and get rid of those in the atmosphere. c. find out where they are exactly from and stop them from being released. d. find out if hcfc is more harmful than cfcs and take proper measures.d charles dickens was one of the most beloved storytellers in the english language. his novels made him famous in his own time, and continue as classics in ours. dickens began his literary career with almost no formal education. he was born in landport, on feb. 7, 1812, the second of eight children. when he was 12, his father was sent to debtors prison. dickens was forced to quit school and work in a london blacking factory. he would rework that terrible experience into his fiction for the rest of his life. he was a social reformer, says actor simon callow, author of a new biography called charles dickens and the great theatre of the world. he knew what poverty was. he knew what it was to be rejected, to be cast aside, to live in squalor (悲惨). and so dickens wrote with great sympathy for the suffering of innocent and vulnerable (易受攻击的) children - characters like david copperfield, little dorrit and the orphan, oliver twist: with hi
