People call these strange objects Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). 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 wasnt 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 wasnt smoke because it didnt change its shape. It was moving in a regular way. That is to say, it didnt go suddenly faster or more slowly, and it didnt 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?语篇解读：很多人声称见过我们称之为UFO的不明飞行物，Dennis Burdens就是其中的一位。1Which of the following is WRONG about UFOs?AUFOs are usually strange objects flying high up in the sky.BAll the reports about UFOs are difficult to explain in scientific ways.CSome people are interested in UFOs.DYou cant believe all the accounts about UFOs.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第一段第五句“Some have been explained in scientific ways.”可知B项说法错误，故选B项。2A UFO was seen one night_.Awhen they were walking across a yard to Dennis Burdens roomBwhile they were looking at the lightCwhen Dennis Burdens noticed the moon appearing strangeDwhile they were having dinner解析：选A细节理解题根据第二、三、四段内容，特别是第二段第二、三句“. after dinner the two men walked across a yard to his room to look at some papers.
