Each passage is followed by some questions. For eachof them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the bes

12、t choice. Passage 1In the summer of 1978 an English farmer named Ian Stevens was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered something strange. Some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground. The flattened （被压平的） wheat formed a circle about six meters across. Around this circle w

13、ere four smaller circles of flattened wheat. In the following years more and more similar circles were found in a field of wheat or corn. So people cannot 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 a tr

14、ick, people tried to copy them: they tried to make circles exactly like the ones the farmers had 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 a trick. Many people believe

15、that beings from outer space are making the circles. Some think that the beings are trying to communicate with us from far away and that the circles are messages from them. Others believe that the beings have actually landed on earth and that the circles are marks left by their spaceships. Several t

16、imes people reported seeing strange flying 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. A microburst is a downward rush of cool a

17、ir the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash. Others scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear. But circles often appear in forms. It is hard to believe that any natural force could create those forms. And recently farmers have discovered

18、not only circles but also other shapes such as triangles in their fields. Could any natural force created a perfect triangle in a field of grain? In the summer of 1990 some scientists spent three weeks in the part of England where many circles have appeared. They had all the latest high-tech equipme

19、nt. This equipment worth 1.8 million dollars recorded nothing. But one night, as the scientists were watching a field, circles formed in the field behind them. These circles are shown in the photograph. The scientists had neither seen nor heard anything. (402 words) 1. What causes the circles?A. Tee

20、nagers.B. Farmers.C. Flying objects.D. None of the above.2. The thing that proves that the circles were not a trick is that _.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

21、grainD. scientists suggest theories that support the idea that circles were made by natural forces3. 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. non

22、e of the above4.The only thing for the scientists to be happy about in the summer of 1990 is possibly _.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 th

23、e above5. A proper title for this passage is _.A. An Unsolved MysteryB. Strange Flying ObjectsC. The Power of Natural ForcesD. The Discovery of Strange CirclesPassage 2In the early days of sea travel, seamen lived entirely on salted meat and biscuits. Many of them died of scurvy (坏血病), a disease of

24、the blood which causes swollen gums, pale white spots on the flesh and general exhaustion. On one occasion, in 1535, an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew seriously ill. The mens lives were saved by Iroquois Indians who gave them vegetable leaves to eat. Gradually it came to be reali

25、zed that scurvy was caused by some lack in the sailors diet and Captain Cook, who was to discover Australia and New Zealand, established the fact the scurvy could be avoided by provision of fresh fruit for the sailors. Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet resu

26、lt in serious disease if certain important elements are missing. These elements are called vitamins. Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them, A, B, C, D, and so on. Different diseases are associated with deficiencies of particular vitamins. Even a slig

27、ht lack of Vitamin C, for example, the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables, is thought to increase significantly our possibility of getting bad colds. The vitamins necessary for a health body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruit and green vegetabl

28、es. It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say during extended periods of religious fasting (禁食), or when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to make special provision to supply the missing vitamins. (274 words) 1. Scurvy is a disease which causes _.A. loss of bloodB.

In Baltimore, Maryland, he got on a bus and headed straight for th

32、e restroom. He thought that if he hid in the restroom, he could ride to New York without paying. But a passenger at the back of the bus saw him. She tapped the person in front of her on the shoulder and said, Theres a bum（乞丐）in the restroom. Tell the bus driver. That passenger tapped the person sitt

33、ing in front of him. Tell the bus driver theres a bum in the restroom, he said. The message was passed from person to person until it reached the front of the bus. But somewhere along the way, the message changed. By the time it reached the bus driver, it was not Theres a bum in the restroom but The

34、res a bomb in the restroom. The driver immediately pulled over to the side of the highway and radioed the police. When the police arrived, they told the passengers to get off the bus and stay far way. Then they closed the highway. That soon caused a 15-mile-long traffic jam. With the help of a dog,

35、the police searched the bus for two hours. Of course, they found no bomb. Two similar-sounding English words also caused trouble for a man who wanted to fly from Los Angeles to Oakland, California. His problems began at the airport in Los Angeless. He thought he heard his flight announced, so he wal

36、ked to the gate, showed his ticket, and got on the plane. Twenty minutes after takeoff, the man began to worry. Oakland was north of Los Angeles, but the plane seemed to be heading west, and when he looked out his window all he could see was ocean. Is this plane going to Oakland? he asked the flight

37、 attendant （服务员）. The flight attendant was shocked. No, she said. Were going to Auckland Auckland, New Zealand. When a Korean woman who lives in the United States arrived at work one morning, her boss asked her, Did you get a plate? No. she answered, wondering what in the world he meant. She worked

38、in an office. Why did the boss ask her about a plate? At five oclock, when she was getting ready to go home, her boss said, Please be on time tomorrow. You were 15 minutes late this morning. Sorry, she said. My car wouldnt start, and . Suddenly she understood. Her boss hadnt asked her, Did you get a

39、 plate? He had asked, Did you get up late? English is not the only language with similar-sounding words. Other languages, too, have words that can cause misunderstandings, especially for foreigners. Auckland and Oakland. A plate and up late. When similar-sounding words cause a misunderstanding, prob

40、ably the best thing to do is just laugh and learn from the mistake. Of course, sometimes its hard to laugh. The man who traveled to Auckland instead of Oakland didnt feel like laughing. But even that misunderstanding turned out all right in the end. The airline paid for the mans hotel room and meals

41、 in New Zealand and for his flight back to California. Oh well, the man later said, I always wanted to see New Zealand. (551 words) 1. The 15-mile-long traffic jam was originally caused by _.A. the woman who tapped the person in front of herB. the driver who radioed the policeC. the police who block

42、ed the roadD. the change of the message from there is a bum to there is a bomb2. Before he knew it, the man arrived in _.A. OaklandB. AucklandC. Los AngelesD. California3.

According to the passage one proper way to deal with a misunderstanding caused by similar-sounding words is _.A. to have a sharp earB. to learn

44、 a good pronunciationC. to speak clearly and slowlyD. to laugh and learn from itPassage 4Another example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as beri-beri（脚气病）, which used to make large numbers of Eastern peoples suffer who lived mainly on rice. In the early years of

45、the 20th century, a Dutch scientist called Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of beri-beri. At first he thought it was transmitted（传送）by a germ (细菌). He was working in a Japanese hospital, where the patients were fed on rice which had had the outer husk（壳）removed from the grain. It was thought

46、 this would be easier for weak, sick people to digest. Eijkman thought his germ theory was confirmed when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard, which were fed on scraps（碎片）from the patients plates, were also showing signs of the disease. He then tried to isolate the germ he thought was causi

47、ng the disease, but his experiments were interrupted by a hospital official, who ruled that the huskless polished rice, even though left over by the patients, was too good for chickens. The chickens should be fed on cheap rice with the outer covering still on the grain. Eijkman noticed that the chic

48、kens began to recover on the new diet. He began to consider the possibility that eating unmilled rice somehow prevented or cured beri-beri even that a lack of some ingredient in the husk might be the cause of the disease. Indeed this was the case. The element needed to prevent beri-beri was shortly afterwards isolated from rice husks and is now known as vitamin B. The milled rice, though more expensive, was in fact keeping alive the disease the hospital was trying to cure. Nowadays, this terrible disease i
