discovered something strange.Some of his wheat waslying flat on the ground.The flattened（被压平的）wheat formed a circle about six metersacross.Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat.In the followingyears more and more similar circles were found in a field of wheat or corn.So peoplecannot help but ask the question:What causes the circles?At first,people suspected that the circles were a trick.To prove that the circles were atrick,people tried to copy them:they tried to make circles exactly like the ones the farmershad found.They couldnt do it.They couldnt enter a field of grain without leaving tracks,and they couldnt flatten the grain without breaking it.The circles are apparently not atrick.Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles.Some thinkthat the beings are trying to communicate with us from far away and that the circles aremessages from them.Others believe that the beings have actually landed on earth and thatthe circles are marks left by their spaceships.Several times people reported seeing strangeflying objects near fields where circles later appeared.Scientists say theyre not sure what causes them.They have suggested several theories.For example,some scientists say that microbursts”of wind created the circles.Amicroburst is a downward rush of cool air the same downward rush of air thatsometimes causes an airplane to crash.Others scientists say that forces within the earthcause the circles to appear.But circles often appear in forms.It is hard to believe that anynatural force could create those forms.And recently farmers have discovered not onlycircles but also other shapes such as triangles in their fields.Could any natural forcecreated a perfect triangle in a field of grain?In the summer of 1990 some scientists spent three weeks in the pail of England wheremany circles have appeared.They had all the latest high-tech equipment.This equipment worth 1.8 million dollars recorded nothing.But one night,as the scientists werewatching a field,circles formed in the field behind them.These circles are shown in thephotograph.The scientists had neither seen nor heard anything.(402 words)41.What causes the circles?A.Teenagers.B.Farmers.C.Flying objects.D.None of the above.42.The thing that proves that the circles were not a trick is t hat.A.two men said they made the circles themselvesB.farmers were making the circles to attract touristsC.people cannot copy the circles without leaving marks or breaking the grainD.scientists suggest theories that support the idea that circles were made bynatural forces43.The circles mean.A.that beings from outer space are trying to communicate with human beingsB.that beings from outer space have visited the earthC.that there do exist strange flying objectsD.none of the above44.The only thing for the scientists to be happy about in the summer of 1990 isp o s s i b l y.A.that they discovered how the circles were madeB.that they saw the circles with the help of the latest high-tech equipmentC.that they were able to show the circles in a photographD.none of the above45.A proper title for this passage is.A.An Unsolved Mystery B.Strange Flying ObjectsC.The Power of Natural Forces D.The Discovery of Strange CirclesPassage 3Accidents are caused;they dont just happen.The reason may be easy to see:anoverloaded tray,a shelf out of reach,a patch of ice on the road.But more often than notthere is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune-frustration,tiredness or just badtemper-that show what the accident really is,a sort of attack on oneself.Road accidents,for example,happen frequently after a family quarrel,and we allknow people who are accident-prone,so often at odds with（和.人争执）themselves andthe world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition,an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid,and the ideawhich used to be current,that the majority of road accidents are caused a majority ofcriminally careless drivers,is not supported by insurance statistics.These show that mostaccidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness of thoughtlessness.It is not always,clear,either,what sort of conditions make people more likely to havean accident.For instance,the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and mostcompanies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed,but still,every day in Britain,some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to anaccident-noise and fatigue,boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this.Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much,usually peoplewho have a high anxiety level,run thi,ee times the normal risk of accidents at work.46.This passage might be taken from.A.a text book B.a science fictionC.a popular magazine D.an annual report of a company47.The writer indicates that.A.British people are often absent-minded.B.doctors should work in factories to avoid accidents.C.drivers are the only factor leading to road accidents.D.there are always some people who fail to observe regulations.48.Which of the following is not mentioned as a factor of accidents?A.anxiety B.tiredness C.bad weather D.carelessness49.“Accident-prone”（Para.2）probably means A.liable to have accidentsB.likely to be killed in accidentsC.responsible for road accidentsD.possible to avoid accidents50.Which of the following could serve as the best title for this passage?A.Causes of Accidents B.Prevention of AccidentsC.Results of Accidents D.Accidents and anxietyPassage 4Americas most creative
