These UFOs caused a lot of interest. Some of the reports about them are difficult to believe. Some have been explained in scientific ways. Others have never been explained. Here is an account of UFOs from a report. Dennis Burdens, who wrote an article, tells us that he once saw a UFO himself. He was having dinner one night with a friend near Tripoli, Libya, and after dinner the two men walked across a yard to his room to look at some papers. Burdens noticed that the moon looked strange that night. “It wasn’t the moon”, was the reply. They watched the light and saw that it was moving. It seemed to be an object rather like a big plate. In some ways it looked like smoke with a light on it, but it wasn’t smoke because it didn’t change its shape. It was moving in a regular way. That is to say, it didn’t go suddenly faster or more slowly, and it didn’t go higher or lower. So the two men decided that there must be men in it. After that, Burdens said that he felt eyes looking at him. He was being watched in the darkness. When it was nearer, they noticed that the bottom parts were brighter than the top. The bottom was yellow and the top red. Then the object suddenly turned away and left Libya, moving very fast. On a later day Burdens talked to other people about it, and he found some who had seen it. They all described it in the same way. Could they all be mistaken ? 1. UFOs are _________ . A. flying high up in the sky B. strange flying objects C. difficult to believe D. very interested 2. A UFO was seen one night _________ . A. when they were walking across a yard to Burdens’ room B. while they were looking at the light C. when Burdens noticed the moon appearing strange D. while they were having dinner 3. The UFO moved _________ . A. regularly B. in a changeable way C. slowly D. fast 4. The UFO looked like _________ . A. smoke B. a large plate C. light D. a jumping object 5. The UFO was seen _________ . A. by Burdens and his friend B. brighter in the darkness C. by several people D. to have a yellow bottom and a red top in the same way (B) Fish have ears. Really, they’re quite small and have no opening to the outside world carrying sound through the body. For the past seven years, Simon Thorrold, a university professor, has been examining fish ears, small round ear bones called otoliths(听石,耳石). As fish grow, so do their otoliths. Each day, their otoliths gain a ring of calcium carbonate(碳酸钙). By looking through a microscope(显微镜)and counting these rings, Thorrold can determine the exact age of a young fish. As a fish gets older, its otoliths no longer get daily rings. Instead, they get yearly rings, which can also be counted, giving information about the fish’s age, just like the growth rings of a tree. Ring counting is nothing new to fish scientists. But Thorrold has turned to a new direction. They’re examining the chemical elements(元素) of each otolith ring. The daily ring gives us the time, but chemistry tells us about the environment in which the fish swam on any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry of the water that the fish was in. It also says something about water temperature, which determines how much of these elements will gather within each otolith rings. Thorrold can tell, for example, if a fish spent time in the open ocean before entering the less salty water of coastal areas. He can basically tell where fish are spending their time at any given stage of their history. In the case of the Atlantic croaker(黄花鱼), a popular saltwater food fish, Thorrold and his assistant have successfully followed the traveling of young fish from mid-ocean to the coast, a journey of many hundreds of miles. This is important to managers in the fish industry, who know nearly nothing about the where-abouts of the young fish for most food fish in the ocean. Eager to learn about his technology, fish scientists are now lending Thorrold their ears. 6.What can we learn about fish ears from the text? A. They are small soft rings. B. They are not seen from the outside. C. They are opening only on food fish. D. They are not used to receive sound. 7. Why does the writer compare the fish to trees? A. Trees gain growth ring each day. B. Trees also have otoliths. C. Their growth rings are very small. D. They both have growth rings. 8. Why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith ring? A. The elements of the otoliths can tell the history of the sea. B. Chemical contents of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim. C. We can know more about fish and their living environment. D. Scientists can know exactly how old a fish is. 9. What do you understand by“fish scientists are now lending Thorrold their ears?” A. They are very interested in Thorrold’s research findings. B. They want to know where they can find fish. C. They lend their fish for chemical studies. D. They wonder if Thorrold can find growth rings from their ears. 10. The best title is _________ . A. Managers in the Fish Industry Aren’t Important B. Fish Ears Tell Fish Tales C. Discuss the Fish D. Learn the News about Fish from Scientists (C) The nervous-looking(紧张不安的)young man had waited for a few moments outside the jeweler’s before he got enough courage (勇气)to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewelry and was a little worried about overspending .After some discussion as to a reasonable price and type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and help him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. When, half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the one she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied, James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted when he got married. 11.A good title(题目)for this passage is _________ . A. A Clever Assistant B. Buying a Birthday Present C. How to Choose a Necklace D. A Brave Young Man 12.The word “overspending” in this passage means _________ . A. spending too much B. spending too much time C. spending more time than he planned D. spending too much time and too much money 13. When James told the assistant why he wanted to buy a present, his face _________ . A. turned pale B. turned red C. turned yellow D. turned black 14. James and Laura reached the shop at _________ . A.4:30 B.5:00 C.5:30 D.6:00 15. James would come back to buy what he wanted because _________ . A. the assistant knew how to satisfy people who came to buy things B. the necklace was good C. Laura liked the necklace D. the assistant who served James was very beautiful (D) Did you ever look up at the moon and think you saw a man’s face there? When the moon is round and full, the shadows of the moon mountains and the lines of the moon valleys sometimes seem to show a giant nose and mouth and eyes. At least, some people think so. If there were a man on the moon—instead of mountains and valleys that just look like the face of a man—what would he be like? He would not be like anyone you know. He would not be like anyone anybody knows. If the man on the moon were bothered by too much heat or cold the way Earth people are, he could not stay on the moon. The moon becomes very, very hot. It becomes as hot as boiling water. And the moon becomes very, very cold. It becomes colder than ice. Whatever part of the moon the sun shines on is hot and bright. The rest of the moon is cold and dark. If the man on the moon had to breathe to stay alive, he couldn’t live on the moon because there’s no air there. ( He’d have to carry an oxygen tank, as astronauts do.) There’s no food on the moon, either. Nothing grows—not even weeds. If the man on the moon liked to climb mountains, he would be very happy. There are many high places there, such as the raised land around the holes, or craters, of the moon. Some of these rims are as tall as Earth’s highest mountains. But if the man on the moon liked to swim, he would be unhappy. There is no water on the moon—just dust and rock. When you think of what it’s like on the moon, you may wonder why it interests our scientists. One reason is that the moon is Earth’s nearest neighbor—it is the easiest place in space to get to. Going back and forth between the moon and Earth, astronauts will get a lot of practice in space travel. Things learned on moon trips will be of great help to astronauts who later take long, long trips to some of the planets. Scientists are also interested in the moon because it has no air. The air that surrounds Earth cuts down the view of the scientists who look at the stars through telescopes. A telescope on the moon would give them a clearer, closer view of the stars. 16. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. The Moon B. The Man on the Moon C. Research on the Moon D. What It Is Like on the Moon 17. What is the reason why our scientists are interested in the moon.? A. The moon is beautiful. B. The moon is different from the earth. C. The moon is Earth’s nearest neighbor—it is the easiest place in space to get to. D. The moon is the easiest place in space to get to and it has no air, unlike Earth. 18. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The climate on the Moon is quite different from that on the Earth. B. Traveling between the Moon and Earth will do much good to astronauts. C. There is some food and weeds on the moon, even though there’s no air. D. If you want to drink hot water on the moon, it’s not so hard to boil water. 19. The underlined word “rim” in the Paragraph 8 means _________ . A. ball B. hill C. round edge D. height 20. What is the main thought of the passage? A. We can learn much from research on the Moon. B. There may be human beings on the moon. C. If there were a man on the Moon, there would be many similarities between the man on the Moon and on the Earth. D.A telescope on the Moon would help scientists have a clearer, closer sight of the stars. (E) I’m writing this letter slowly because I know you can’t read fast. We don’t live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happened within 20 miles from your home, so we moved. I won’t be able to send you the address because the last family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so that they wouldn’t have to change their address. This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I’m not sure it works so well though: last week I put a load in and pulled the chain and haven’t seen them since. The weather isn’t bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first time for three days and the second time for four days. About that coat you wanted me to send you, your uncle Stanley said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on so we cut them off and put them in the pockets. John locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your father out. Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven’t found out what it is yet. The baby looks just like your brother... Uncle Ted fell in a whiskey vat last week. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off playfully and drowned. We had him cremated and he burned for three days. Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pick-up trunk. Ralph was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in back. They drowned because they couldn’t get the tail gate down. There isn’t much more news at this time. Nothing much has happened. Love, Mom P.S. I was going to send you some money but the envelope was already sealed. 21.
