33、g with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine (潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on 3 space flights in the future.

34、n to one another during long submarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of 4 is. When men are 5 together for a long period, they begin to feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the lim

35、ited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 6 .Apparently, although no one wants to be 7 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation. That means that they are under an un

36、usual amount of 8 or stress.People who are well-adjusted are able to 9 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in 10 our astronauts.

A. becomingB. choosingC. orderingD. promotingBOne topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who

39、has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total. 11 the faults already found out in the education system as a whole such as child-centred learning, the “discovery” method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils there have been several ser

40、ious 12 which have a direct effect on language teaching.The first is the removal from the curriculum (课程) of the thorough teaching of English 13 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.Another impo

41、rtant error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 14 that the most able groups are 15 and are bored while the least able are lost and 16 bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils

42、 start to forget immediately they stop having 17 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later. 18 they never need it, they do not practice it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 19 m

43、odern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same, and stop 20 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.11. A. Due toB. In addition toC. Instead ofD. In spite of12. A. errorsB. situationsC. systemsD. methods13. A. vocabularyB. cultureC. gra

He said that they looked like saucers. Newspapers printed his story under the headline Flying Saucers. Since then, all over

46、 the world, people have reported seeing similar strange objects. No one knows what they are or where they come from. Some people say that they do not exist, but many others say that they have seen them. Usually people on the ground have seen them but not always. Airline pilots also have reported see

47、ing them and so have astronauts the men who fly in spaceships. Perhaps some people saw them only in their imagination. Perhaps some people made a mistake. But airline pilots and astronauts do not usually make mistakes of this kind. Captain Ed Mitchell, who was the sixth man to walk on the moon, said

48、 in 1974 that he believes that some flying saucers are real. Many other people now believe that these strange flying objects are visiting the earth from other worlds in space. They have come to look at us, they say. The American government tried to find out more about these objects. It listened to a

49、 great many people who said they had seen them. But the Government Committee could not decide on what the objects were. It called them UFOs, which is short for Unidentified Flying Objects. Some say they have seen people in the flying saucers! In 1964, a driver of a police car in New Mexico saw a UFO

50、 landing a mile away. When he reached it, there were two small figures standing near it. They looked like little men. When he reported on his radio, they got inside the object and flew away. In 1973 two men were out fishing in Mississippi. They say they saw a UFO shaped like an egg. There were three

51、 creatures like men but their skins were silver in color. They had no eyes, and their mouths were just slits (裂缝). Their noses and ears were pointed. They made the fishermen get inside the UFO for a while. Then the creatures photographed them and took them to the place where they had been fishing. T

52、here are many other similar stories. Some are probably untrue but some may be true. No one knows. 1. _ took pictures of the two fishermen. A. The creatures in a UFO B. A driver of a police car C. A pilot of a plane D. Captain Ed Mitchell 2. The American government tried to _. A. look for the flying

53、objects B. know where the objects come from C. learn more about UFOs D. report more about UFOs 3. According to the passage, the name flying saucers was first used by _. A. a pilot of a small plane B. an official in Washington C. an editor of a newspaper D. the man who flies in saucers 4. The purpose of this passage is to tell us_. A. the shape of UFOs B. how to observe UFOs C. the danger of UFOs D. what we know about UFOs 5. It is implied in the passage that the author _.A. does not believe at all about the existence of UFOs B. believes that UFOs are real objects flying
