A
Yesterday the police were joined by more than 20 volunteers in the continuing search for the two missing teenagers, Vicky Gray and Tom Hunter, and their guide, Gavin Jones. The police said that they had disappeared during an adventure (冒险) tour of Cape York Peninsula.
This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three missing people.
The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rainforest was thick and their work was made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector (警官) Roger Fleet said, “The travellers had a radio with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us.”
The three travellers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鳄鱼). Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said the tourists wouldn’t have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.
A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the “Be Careful about crocodiles” sign near the river. Why was the photo left behind? This is just one of the unanswered questions. Other questions are: Why was the photo left behind? Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rainforest? The police said that the travelers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the point (地点) where the car is? Is this a sign? What does it mean? If anyone can give information or has seen these three young people, contact the local police in Cooktown.
( )35. This article is probably taken from ___________
A. a newspaper B. a magazine
C. a storybook D. a guidebook
( )36. Which word best describes the search of the three missing people?
A. Helpless B. Hard C. Delightful D. Successful
( )37. Which of the following things wasn’t found by the police?
A. A touring map. B. A photo of the travelers.
C. The travelers’ radio. D. The travelers’ car
( )38. All the following are unanswered questions except_____________.
A. why they left a photo behind B. why they came to this area

Where in the world can you take an hour’s train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? There’s only one place, and that’s Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets(布景) in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies(公司) in the USA.
A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isn’t quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.
The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.
Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don’t need Hollywood any more. Modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.
But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.
( ) 39. From the passage, we know Universal Studios is ___________.
A. a very large park
B. a busy London street
C. a famous movie company
D. an old Hollywood movie
( ) 40. The movie industry in California isn’t as successful as before because _____________.
A. young people don’t go to movie theatres any more
B. there is strong competition from other states
C. its movie companies are in need of young stars
D. the state hasn’t put a development plan into action
( ) 41. Which of the following seems to be a threat(威胁)to Hollywood?
A. The use of modern cameras and other equipment
B. The interest of middle-aged film stars
C. The making of TV series like Dynasty
D. The expensively made copies of scenes
( ) 42. What can we learn about “soap operas” from the passage?
A. They are teenagers’ favorites.
B. They are much more expensive.
C. They are less attractive.
D. They are cheaper and easier to make.
C
A new study has found no evidence that sunscreen, commonly used to reduce the risk of skin cancer, actually increase the risk.
Researchers from the University of Iowa based their findings on a review of 18 earlier studies that looked at the association between sunscreen use and melanoma (黑素瘤). They said that they found flaws in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma
Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer, which is increasing in incidence (发生率) faster than any other cancer in the United States.
But questions has been raised about sunscreen and whether it may has opposite effect, perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.
The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancer—people with fair skin(白皙的肤色) and freckles (雀斑), for example—are more likely to use sunscreen. As a result, it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.
The studies, which generally relied on volunteers to recall their sunscreen use, were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied, said the new study.
( ) 43. The underlined word “flaws” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means .
A. evidence B. facts C. faults D. failures
( ) 44. People with fair skin and freckles .
A. seldom use sunscreen
B. are more in danger of skin cancer
C. can be free from the harm of the sun
D. often expose themselves to the sun
( ) 45. We can learn from the passage that .
A. sunscreen users get skin cancer more often
B. the volunteers have proved the effect of sunscreen
C. the new study was based on the experiences of volunteers
D. the number of skin cancer patients is increasing in America
( ) 46. Which of the following can be the title for this passage?
A. Sunscreen to Prevent Skin Cancer
B. Sunscreen to Increase Skin Cancer
C. Skin Cancer Caused by Sunscreen
D. Skin Cancer Caused by Freckles

"Wearing Heelys is fun and cool," said Wu Peng, a boy who wore them on his 4 day back at No. 6 Middle School in Beijing. Wu Peng said he loves the shoes so much that he wears them wherever he goes. Sometimes he even 5 his parents' car to the supermarket on his Heelys!

Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over your body. You don't want to work, you stay in bed, feeling very sad.
What makes us ill? It is germs (细菌).Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can't find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope(显微镜). They are very very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.
Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.
Germs aren't found only in water. They are found in air and dust(灰尘). If you cut your finger, if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut, some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red, and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs would go into all of your body, and you would have pain every where.

18. Possible version:
In my free time, I’d like to go on a trip. However, where should I go? New York City seems to be a good choice. I’ve never been there before, and I know that there are a great number of places of interest, such as the Central Park, the Fifth Avenue and so on. Also, it’s famous all over the world for its wonderful galleries, and there, I can practice my English. However, New York is so far from my country and going there may cost too much money. So maybe Singapore is a far more suitable place for me to take a holiday. There are oceans of beautiful views, which always deeply attract me. What’s more, it has lots of museums and I’ll enjoy myself walking through them. Besides, Singapore is a good place for shopping. I love shopping, so I’m sure I’ll have lots of good time there. All in all, I prefer Singapore.
