34、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 (
35、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 Brit
36、ish 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
37、 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 hydrochlorof
38、luorocarbon (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
39、the atmosphere up to 100 years ago. There searchers 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 kn
40、ow 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 atmosphereso even if emissions (散发)were to s
41、top 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.1、What do we know
42、 about the newly discovered gases?ASome are surely produced by the development of agriculture.BThe CFCs will have a long impact once they are released.CThey gather together in the atmosphere at a medium speed.DTheir amounts are not large enough to cause damage to us.2、The underlined word “archive” i
43、n Paragraph 6 is closest to the meaning of “ ”.AstateBresourceCphenomenonDstoreroom3、What will the scientists probably attempt to do about the gases next?AFind out what can replace things like insecticides and put them into use.BFind out how they destroy ozone and get rid of those in the atmosphere.
44、CFind out where they are exactly from and stop them from being released.DFind out if HCFC is more harmful than CFCs and take proper measures.25（10分）Microsoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with ALS（渐冻症）to communicate w
45、ith others from a phone.The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphones camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time and convert them into letters, words and sentences.For people suffering from ALS also known as motor neurone（神经元）disease, eye movement can be the only way to c
46、ommunicate. “Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor disabilities are expensive, not constant under sunlight, and require frequent readjustment and considerable, relatively fixed systems,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.“To red
