16、选出最佳答案In 1947 the pilot of a small aeroplane saw ninestrange objects in the sky over Washington,USA. He said that looked like saucers .Newspapers printed his story under the headline “ Flying Sausers ” .Since then, all over the world, people have reported similar strange fiying objects.No one knows

17、what they are or where they come from. Some people say that do not exist, but manyothers say that they have seen them.Usually people on the ground have seen them but not always. Airline pilots also have reported seeing them and so have astronauts the menwho fly in spaceships.Perhaps some people saw

18、then only in their imagination or illusion （幻觉，错觉）。 Perhaps somepeople made a mistake. But airline pilots and astronauts do not usually make mistakes of this kind. Captain Ed Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon, said in 1974 that he believes that som“e flying saucers ”are real. Many other pe

19、ople now believe that these strange flying objects are visiting the earth fromother worlds in space.“ They have come to greet us. ” They say.The American government tried to find out more aboutthese objects. It listened to great many people whosaid they had seen them. But the Government Committee co

20、uld not decide on what the objects were. It called them UFOs, which is short for Unidentified Flying Objects.Some even say they have seen people in the flying saucers! In 1964,a driver of police car in NewMexico saw a UFOlanding a mile away. Whenhe reached it, there were two small figures standing n

21、ear 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 MississippiRiver. They say they saw a UFOshaped like an egg. There were three creatures like men but their skins weresilver in color. They had no eyes, and

22、 their mouths were just slits（ 裂缝 ） ， Their noses and ears were pointed.They madethe fishermen get inside the UFOfor a while. Then the creatures photographed them and took them to the place where they had been fishing.There are many other similar stories.Some are probably untrue but some may be true

23、.No one knows.41 .The American government tried to.A.look for the flying objects B.know whereD.report morethe objects come fromC.learn more about UFOsabout UFOs42 .According to the passage, the name“ flying saucerswas first used byA.a pilot of a small plane B.an official inWashingtonC.an editor of a

24、 newpaper D.the man whoflies in saucers43 .The purpose of this passage is to tell usA.the shape of UFOs C.the danger of UFOsUFOs44.It is implied in author.B.how to observe UFOsD.what we know aboutthe passage that theA.does not believe at all about the existence ofUFOsB.believes that UFOsare real obj

25、ects flying in theskyC.is not sure whether there are UFOs or not D.thinks UFOs come from other planetsBPUBLIC SPIRITEach nation has its own peculiar（特有 ） characterwhich distinguishes it from others.But the peoples of the world have more points in which they are all like each other than points in whi

26、ch they are different. One type of person that is common in every country is the one who always tries to do as little as he can and toget as much in return as he can. His opposite, the man who is in the habit of doing more than what is strictly necessary and who is ready to accept what is offered in

27、 return , is rare everywhere.Both these types are usually unconscious of their character.The man whoavoids effort is always about his “ rights ” :he appears to think that society owes him a pleasant, easy life.The man who is always doing more than his share talks of “ duties ” :he feels that the ind

28、ividual is in debt to society, and not society to the individual. As a result of their views, neither of these men thinks that he behaves at all strangely.The men who tries to do as little as he can is always full of excuses: if he was neglected to do something, is was because he had a headache, or

29、the weather was too hot or too cold or because he was prevented by bad luck. At first, other people, such as his friends and his employer, generously accept his stories; but soon they realize what kink of person he is, In the long run he deceives only himself. Whenhis friends become cool towards his

30、 and he fails to make progress in his job, he is surprised and hurt. He blames everyone and everything except himself. He feels that society is failing in its duties towards him, and that he is being unjustly treated. He soon becomes one of the discontented（ 令人不满）members of the society he livesin.Hi

31、s public spirited opposite is never too busy to take on an extra piece of work; that is the strongest thing about the whole business. If you want somethingdone in a hurry, don't go to the man who has clearlynot much to do. He will probably have a dozen excellentexcuses for not being able to help

32、 you , much as heclaims he would like to .Go to the busiest manyou know, particularly if you are sure that he has not a spareminute in the week. If your work is really important, he will make time for if.45 .Which of the following characters is commonto most people of the world according to the auth

33、or?A.Thrifty（ 节俭的 ） B.Hard workingC.SelfishD.Selfless46 .The man who is always talking about his“ rights ”seems to think that.A.society is in debt to himB.the individual owes something to societyC.both types of people behave strangelyD.everyone should live a happy lifeA.often falls ill47 .The passag

34、e suggests that the manwho tries to avoid effort.B.can't stand badweatherC.often had bad luck D.always excuses himself48 .As it is used in the third paragraph, “ in the long ” _ _run ” means.A.in the endB .for a long timeC.after running a long distance D.step by stepCHere are some advertisements

35、 taken from a newspaper(1)Dear Drew Carter,Your first year on this earth had been a pleasure ride for all of us.We love you!Love,Dad and Mon and many friends.(2)Lawlis ClarksThe Doctors Virgil and Marjorie Lawils are pleased to announce the engagement( 订 婚 )of their daughterDiane Susan to Mr. Robert

40、and Clarke B.Dang Isbell and FossC.Story and Kurio D.The text doesn't sayDThere are more than 100 million cars in the UnitedStates. An ordinary car gets less than 15 miles from eachgallon（ 加仑 ）of gas. It travels about 10,000 miles each year. In that time., it uses about 650 gallons of gas. In al

41、l, automobiles use up some70 billion gallons of gas a year. That comes out to be four and a half million barrels （桶） a day.The importance of saving gas, then , cannot be stressed too much. Let's say, the fuel used by each car could be cut back just 15 percent. This could be done by making fewer

42、trips each day.It could be done by keeping the automobiles in good shape. It could be through better driving habits. If these were done, the nation's use of fuel would fall by close to twothirds of a million barrels per day.Everyone can help to save gas. One way is to ride buses. Somecould walk

43、to work.Others could ride their bikes. Another way is to share a ride .People could share cars. About one third of all cars are used for going to and from work. You can go shopping with a friend from time to time. If two people use a car instead of two they all save. Driving stress（紧张）would be less,

44、 too , with fewer cars on the road. The savings on gas around the nation would cometo more than one half million barrels a day. Still another way to save is by cutting out trips one does not need to take. Can you find one car trip per week that could be done by telephone? Can you combine trips ? If

45、each car traveled 10 miles less each week, they could save three and a half billion gallons of gas a year. This comes to nearly 5 percent of the total passenger cars demand for gas.The way people drive decides how muchfuel they save. Careful drivers may get 20 percent more miles per gallon than ordi

46、nary drivers. They obey the55 mile per hour speed limit. If just one gallon of gas were saved each week for each car in the country, a total of five and a half billion gallons could be saved a year.53.Which of the following statements is true about an average car according to the passage?A.An ordina

47、ry car runs a lot more than 10,000 miles with 650 gallons of gas.B.An ordinary car can not run more than 15 miles with one gallon of gas.C.An ordinary car with ten gallons of gas can run more than 150 miles.D.An ordinary car can run 10,000 miles each year with 70 billion gallons of fuel.54.The passa

48、ge mentions all of the following factsexcept that.A.keeping one's car in good shape helps one save gas.B.riding buses instead of driving is helpful to gas savingC.sharing a ride or walking to work is another wayto save gasD. driving stress can be greatly relieved by usingless gas55.According to

49、the passage, it is possible to save five percent of the total passenger cars demandfor gas each year, if.A.people all share car riding instead of owning their own cars.B.all the cars cut off one trip of 10 miles each weekC.two people go shopping in a car from time to timeD.people use telephones inst

50、ead of riding cars56 .Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the text?A.Drivers should change their driving habits and keep their cars in good shape.B.The importance of saving fuel is seldom ignored.C.Saving gas is important and could be done in several ways.D.People shoul

51、d use fewer automobiles and make good use of telephones.EThe word conservation has a thrifty（ 节俭 ）meaning. To conserve is to save and to protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would

52、increase faster than the supplies of raw materials（ 原材料 ） ； most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that thetreasures were limitless and inexhaustible（用不完的） .Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate（ 精致的 ）system that r

53、uns all through nature,and which means that, as in a living body. an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.Fifty years ago nature study was not part of theschool work; scientific forestry was a new idea; wood was still cheap because it could be brought in

54、any quantity from distant woodlands, soil destruction（破坏 ）and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studies long term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the work “ conservation ” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.For the interests of ourselves an

55、d those who will come after us ,we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our fore fathers. Conservation should , therefore, be made a part of everyone's daily life, To know about the water table（ 水位 ）in the ground is just as important to us a knowledge of the basic arithmeticformulas（ 算 术

56、公式）.We need to know why all watersheds（水滨）need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to yield（produce）their full benefit to the before they finally escape to the sea. We need be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We nee

57、d to know the importance of big, nature tress, because living space for most of man's fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume（容积）above theearth .In brief, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original beauty of nature as we can.57 .According to the author the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that.A.they had no idea about scientific forestryB.they had little or no sense of environmental protectionC.they did not realize the importance of nature study
