Several people who had seen the crash were interviewed, including a nurse who said she had examined an alien who had been injured in the crash. At first, the people of Roswell were told that a flying saucer had crashed. Shortly afterwards they were told that it was not a flying saucer but a weather balloon. I decided that the only way I could learn the truth about flying saucers was to investigate (调查) them myself.I have done a lot of research and although I still haven’t discovered the truth about Roswell, I have discovered the truth about hundreds of other UFOs. A lot of UFOs are actually army planes or weather balloons, while others turn out to be natural phenomena (现象) like planets or comets (彗星). By far the largest number of UFOs turn out to be so-called “fireball” meteors—slow-moving meteors that can take up to a minute to travel across the night sky.When I’m investigating a UFO report, I arrange to meet the person at the place where they have seen the flying saucer. I like to interview a witness at the scene and then take photographs of the area. Then I speak to my contacts at local military (军事的) bases and weather station, and then check the witness’ details against my information.In about 95% of the cases I’ve dealt with, the “flying saucers” turn out to be weather balloons, planes or natural phenomena. That still leaves 5% of that, no matter what, just cannot be explained.23. The writer says that UFOs ______.A. always travel across the sky slowlyB. usually fly near natural phenomenaC. are always seen near weather balloonsD. often turn out to be a kind of meteor24. What will the writer do if you think you have seen a flying saucer?A. He’ll suggest that you contact a military base.B. He’ll take a photograph of you for his records.C. He’ll ask you to take a photograph of it for him.D. He’ll me et you and ask you to describe what you saw.25. When the writer investigates flying saucers, he ______ .A. makes sure that someone has taken photos of themB. gives the witness the names of people who can helpC. can’t find a proper explanation abo ut 5% of the casesD. always tells the local weather station before he arrivesCConsidered as one of the English language’s most talented poets, John Keats wrote poems that focused on imagination, human nature, and life. Although Keats didn't receive much education on literature, his own studies and interests brought him much success. Also, his own life situation made a great difference to his poems.Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn't attend a private school, but went to a public one. His mother was not well educated. His teachersand his family’s friends considered him as a common boy who preferred playing and fighting much more to minding his studies. After his father’s death in the e arly 1800s, followed by his mother's because of tuberculosis(肺结核), he began seeing life differently. He wanted to keep away from the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying medical treatment so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary dream had taken too much of his life，especially with his love for the poems of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, named O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written another full poem, but was sharply criticized (批评) by a magazine. However, it didn’t stop his dream of poems．John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story includes a farmer who falls in love with the moon and leads him to a trip of one boy's hope to deal with the limitations (限制) of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more story-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry because of his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” connected to his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would like to mix all that he learned together. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and finally take his life in 1821.26. John Keats' thoughts about life changed because of __________ .A. Edmund Spenser's poetryB. the deaths of his parentsC. the criticism of a magazineD. his early education from school27. What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?A. They received little education.B. They went to a private school.C. They died of the same disease.D. They showed strong interest in poetry.28. What can we infer from the passage?A. Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.B. The poem Hyperion wasn’t completed by Keats.C. Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats’ time.D. Keats’ family must have been very poor when he was young.DMore than 50 music students at New Milford High School in New Jersey, US, got a letter from their headmaster. The letter said that the school’s music department was in big trouble. The students had to pass a test, or the department would be shut down.On a Saturday, two officials greeted the nervous students. They asked the students to play a piece by Richard Strauss. But they had to sing the words to the music – German words!Other tasks were also difficult. One s tudent had to sing Mary had a Little Lamb, a children’s song, in an operatic (歌剧的) voice.After three hours of testing, students waited for the results. They met some students from the New Jersey Youth Orchestra (管弦乐团). The judges gave them a merely average grade.The worried New Milford students started to realize they had no chance. “I thought it was over,” said Bryan Olsen-Santana, a junior. “The person next to me was crying. I felt bad for her. I felt bad for myself, too, because music is everything to me.”But then the headmaster came and told them something very dramatic (戏剧性的): “Someone’s played a joke on you!”What was going on?The test was part of a reality TV show (电视真人秀) called “Schooled”. The students’ parents, the school and a TV network had arranged it together.Everything was fake. The two “officials” were actually comedians (喜剧演员). The “students from New Jersey Youth Orchestra” were from another school.There were hidden cameras. The students’ parents were hiding as they watched.As a reward for putting up with the joke, the students got gifts: MP3 players, digital cameras and school supplies. They were all from the show’s sponsor (赞助商).29. What is the letter about?A. The headmaster would retire next semester.B. The sc hool didn’t have money to run.C. The music department was in big trouble.D. The students had to give up music.30. The students were nervous before the test, because______.A. they were not good at musicB. the judges were very strictC. they thought they couldn’t passD. it would decide the future of the music department31. According to Olsen-Santana, we learn that______.A. their school failed the testB. he likes music very muchC. the test was just a jokeD. the girl next to him was sorry for herself32. What does the underlined word “fake” mean in the passage?A. 顺利的B. 假装的C. 受欢迎的D. 便捷的四、信息还原（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分）根据对话内容，从方框内选择恰当的句子将对话补充完整。

He carried an old wallet in one hand and at every house he asked for a little money to buy something to eat. As he was complaining at his misfortune(不幸)，he kept wondering why people who had so much money were never satisfied and always wanted more.He thought that if he only had enough money to buy food and clothing, he would be very happy and wouldn't want anything more.At that moment, Fortune came down the street. She saw the beggar and stopped. She said to him:" I want to help you. Hold out your wallet and I will pour this gold into it, but only on this condition. All that falls into your wallet will be pure gold, but all that hits the ground will turn into dust. Do you understand?""Oh, yes I understand." said the beggar."Your wallet is old. Don't put too much in it," said Fortune.The beggar opened his wallet and a stream of pure gold flowed into it. His wallet grew heavy. "You are the richest man in the world now," said Fortune.“I think you should stop! Your wallet is going to break!" However, the beggar said he wanted one more handful. Fortune added one more handful and the wallet split. All the gold fell to the ground and turned to dust. The beggar had nothing but his empty wallet. He was as poor as he had been before.23.

She lived during a time when factories were springing up all over the United States and business were booming. Her father died when she was 10 years old and began working in a textile mill(纺织厂).When she was 12, Knight saw an accident in which a part of one of the marhines flew off, seriously hurting a worker. So she decided to plan a way to prevent such accidents. Knight designed a safety feature that would stop the machines if something got caught in them. The machine soon became common in textile mills and is still used in some factories now.Although factories were willing to use her first invention, Knight did not receive much in the way of reward for her effort. Because of her youth and her family's lack of(缺乏)of education, Knight was unable to patent(获得专利)her safety machine to earn money from selling it.In Knight's day, paper bags were shaped like envelopes(信封), which made them difficult to fill. While working at a paper bag factory, Knight thought of bags with flat, rectangular(长方形的)bottom. Then she tried to invent a machine that would produce them, and she succeeded. Knight worked for months to perfect her work, but when she asked for a patent, a man named Charles Annan had seen an early model of Knight's idea and had tried to patent the machine as his own.Knight insisted that the patent should be hers and ended up taking Annan to court(法庭). During the case; Annan said that a woman would not be able to invent such a complex and innovative(创新的)machine. But Knight provided evidence proving that the machine was hers and received patent in 1871.Knight died in 1914, and one newspaper described her as a "woman Edison". At a time when women's hard work and knowledge were taken too lightly, she proved that women too could develop new ideas that would shape the future of industry.26. Why didn't Margaret patent her safety machine at first?A. She had no money to do it.B. She didn't consider it worth her effort.C. She expected her invention to be of use to all.D. She had no sense of patent at that time.27. We can infer from Margret's story that at Margret's time .A. women didn't get well protected at workB. women got badly paid at factoriesC. women weren't expected to achieve muchD. women had no right to invent things28. Why did the writer write the passage?A. To tell the importance of role of women in society.B. To call on girls to learn from a woman scientist.C. To encourage women to fight for equal rights.D. To introduce a famous woman inventor in America.DFrank was a very talkative little boy. He never saw a new thing without asking a great many questions about it.His mother was very patient and kind. When it was proper to answer his questions, she would do so. Sometimes she would say, “You are not old enough to understand that, my son. When you are ten years old, you may ask me about it, and I will tell you.” When his mother said this, Frank never bother(烦扰)her any more. He knew she always liked to answer him when he asked proper questions.The first time Frank saw an hourglass, he was very much interested, but he did not know what it was. His mother said, “An hourglass is made in the shape of the figure 8. The sand is put in at one end and runs through a small hole in the middle. As much sand is put into the glass as will run through in an hour.”Frank watched the little stream of sand. He was impatient, because it would not run faster. “Let me shake it, mother,” said he, “it is lazy, and will never get through.”“Oh, yes, it will, my son,” said his mother, “The sand moves by little and little, but it moves all the time. When you look at the hands of the clock, you think they go very slowly, and so they do, but they never stop. While you are at play, the sand is running, grain by grain(一粒粒). The hands of the clock are moving, second by second. At night, the sand in the hourglass has run through twelve times. The hour hand of the clock has moved all around its great face. This because they keep at work every minute. They do not stop to think how much they have to do, and how long it will take them to do it.”Now, Frank’s mother wanted him to learn a little hymn(赞美诗), but he said, “Mother, I can never learn it.”His m other said, “Study all the time. Never stop to ask how long it will take to learn it. You will be able to say it very soon.”Frank followed his mother’s advice. He studied line after line, very busily; and in one hour anda half he knew the hymn perfectly.29. According to the story, which word can best describe Frank?A. Naughty.B. Curious.C. Stupid.D. Lazy30. What did Frank’s mother do one day in this story?A. She asked her son to shake the hourglass hard.B. She answered every question her son asked.C. She bought her son an hourglass as a gift.D. She encouraged her son to learn a hymn.31. Why did Frank’s mother say a lot about the hourglass and the clock?A. Because she would like to show her patience to her son.B. Because she wanted to compare the hourglass with the clock.C. Because she thought it a good way to tell Frank not to waste time.D. Because she happened to know a lot about these two objects.32. What’s the best title of this story?A. Frank and His MotherB. Frank and The HourglassC. The Hourglass and The ClockD. Mother and The Hourglass四、信息还原（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分）阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers. They believe intelligent life exists(存在)somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings.Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. "This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life，" say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size-the universe is huge. "Tools like the Hubble telescope(哈勃望远镜)have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies，" says Shostak. "And our galaxy，the Milk Way，has at least 100 billion stars. Someplanets going around these stars might be similar to Earth."In the past，it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe.
