46、harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge. It is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own minds picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk a

47、nd the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.T

48、he best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list of you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Dont allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because

49、 you cant move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think youre silly because you arent good at math, find a tutor. If you think youre weak because you cant run a mile, get to the track and practice. If

50、 you think youre dull because you think it doesnt mean its true.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities.

54、ctic from the worst effects of global warming, but scientists have warned that as the hole closes up in the next few decades, temperatures on the continent could rise by around 3 on average, with melting ice contributing to a global sea level increase of up to 1.4 meters.In the past decades the west

55、ern Antarctic has seen rapid ice loss as the world has warmed, but the other parts of the continent have, paradoxically, been cooling, resulting in a 10% increase in ice in the seas around the region. This is because the hole in the ozone layer has increased cold winds in Antarctic, making much of t

56、he continent surface colder than usual.But now that the gases that cause the ozone hole have been banned, scientists expect the hole to repair itself within the next 50 to 60 years. By then the cooling effect will have faded out and the Antarctic will face the full impact of global warming. This mea

57、ns an increase in average air temperatures of around 3 and a reduction in sea ice by around a third.The biggest threat to the continent comes from warming seas. Robert Johnson, a scientist who monitors Antarctic ice sheets, said, “The ice sheets in Antarctic are hundreds of meters thick. But once wa

58、rm ocean waters start flowing underneath, the ice will begin thinning and could break up very quickly.” Thinning ice sheets cause ice to break away from the continent and to melt even faster. Escaping ice from western Antarctic has already resulted in a 10% rise in global sea level in recent decades

59、.Johnson believes that international action to reduce global warming is required immediately or it may be too late. “Everything is connectedAntarctic may be a long way away but it is an important part of the Earths system,” said Johnson. “It contains 90% of the worlds ice, 70% of the worlds fresh wa

60、ter and that is enough, if it melts completely, to raise sea levels by 63 meters.”Even in a worse-case situation scientists dont expect the ice to entirely disappear, but predict that, because of the melting ice sheets, average sea level rise will be around 1.4 meters higher by the end of the centur

What is the effect of the hole in the ozone layer on Antarctic?A. It is causing the ice to melt faster.B. It is making much of the continent colder.C. It

64、：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填上一个最恰当的单词。每空一个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。Bisphenol A(BPA) is a chemical widely used to make hard, polycarbonate(聚碳酸酯) plastic. Food storage containers, reusable water bottles and baby bottles are among the many different products that may contain BPA.

65、 BPA is also commonly used in protective coverings inside metal food and drink cans.People can swallow small amounts of BPA as they eat or drink. An industry Website says more than forty years of safety research shows that products made with Bisphenol A are safe. But others question the safety of BP

66、A. Now, a large study has linked to diabetes and heart disease in adults.Researchers divided almost one thousand five hundred Americans adults into four groups based on BPA levels in their urine(尿液). All the levels were within the limits considered safe by the United States Food and Drug Administrat

67、ion. Yet the study found that the highest group was more than twice as likely as the lowest group to have heart disease or diabetes, or both.The Food and Drug Administration and chemical industry officials said the study does not show that Bisphenol A caused the diseases. The researcher who led the

68、study, David Melzer, agrees. He says the findings must be reproduced and that further studies are also needed. But he also says that if BPA is a cause of these conditions, then just reducing contact with it might prevent some cases. Earlier this month, the United States government scientists from th

69、e National Toxicology Program released a final report on BPA. They found that the chemical is of “some concern” for effects on development of the brain in fetuses(胎儿), infants and children. They made the same finding for behavioral effects.The scientists based their findings mostly on studies of lab

70、oratory animals. Even so, the program director said “the possibility that BPA may affect human development can not be dismissed.”In April, Canada became the first country to propose a ban on plastic baby bottle that contain BPA. The government has said it will publish its final decision by October t

We have different opinions about this topic.

78、 About 60 percent of the students are in favor of the plan. They hold the view that building a subway has such advantages as convenience, speed and safety. Besides, it is energy-saving and free from pollution. Whats more, it could help reduce the traffic jams and accidents above ground. The rest of

79、the students hold the opposite opinion. They think building a subway is a waste of money which could be used to build more roads and railways. Worse still, it could damage some historical relics under ground. Personally I think the advantages overweigh the disadvantages. Therefore, I would like the subway to be built.
