The United States Air Force first used the words “Unidentified Flying Object” to describe them. Today everyone uses the term UFO. When people see a UFO, it is usually no more than a weather balloon or an airplane. But the Center for UFO Studies goes on to receive hundreds of reports each year. In 1947 a businessman and pilot, Kenneth Arnold, was flying near Mount Rainier, Washington when he saw nine shiny, round objects flying through the air. He told a newspaper reporter they looked like “pie plates skipping over water.” The reporter used the words “flying saucer（碟子）” in his story and today that is the popular name for UFOs. The Center for UFO Studies lists three kinds of contacts with flying saucers. “Encounters（遭遇）of the first kind” are reports of unknown objects or lights in the sky. People have “Encounters of the second kind” when a UFO leaves burn marks or other signs on the ground. People report “Close encounters of the third kind” when they see aliens in or near a UFO. 56. Who used the term UFO first? A. The United States Air force. B. The Center for UFO Studies. C. Kenneth Arnold. D. A report. 57. The Center for UFO Studies _____. A. usually sees no more than a weather balloon or an airplane every year B. is a branch of the United States Air Force C. receive hundreds of reports every year D. used “pie plates skipping over water” to describe the UFO seen by the people first 58. Why did the newspaper reporter use the words “flying saucer” to describe the UFO that Kenneth Arnold said he saw? A. Because the UFO that Kenneth Arnold saw was flat. B. Because Kenneth Arnold told the newspaper that what he had seen in the sky was round. C. Because Kenneth Arnold described what he has seen looked like a plate flying in the sky. D. Because what Kenneth Arnold saw was pie plates flying in the air.
B A recent trend(趋势) in Californian restaurants shows new eating habits among those people out to have an interesting dining experience. Appetizers(开胃品)seem to be the name of the games as diners turn away from the more traditional three-course meal in favor of smaller snacks served in various types of restaurants, bars and cafes. In this way, in the course of an evening out, you might go to a restaurant for a tasty dish to eat at one end of town, to a bar with some live music at the other end, then for a coffee, and finally back to the restaurant for a further appetizer. Reasons for this trend are the fact that so many different types of restaurants have been set up recently, each with their own particular type of food and special atmosphere, together with the increased specialty in the type of snacks being offered. Gone are the cheese sticks of the old days, when appetizers were not really taken seriously. Some favorite snacks of the moment are slices of hot pizza, creamy fish-based dishes and crispy cakes and so on. Prices for appetizers are not equal to a full meal; however, their new popularity has meant that they are by no means as cheap as they used to be. Certainly, for that special occasion, a meal in a nice restaurant, complete with the piano performance, is hard to beat. However, if we see this trend for “butterfly eating”---moving around several different places in one evening continues, then all the traditional style restaurants may well have to provide their own appetizer bars as well! 59． How are the eating habits of the Californians changing? A. People are dining out less. B. Californian restaurants are becoming less popular. C. Most people eat less than they used to. D. A full restaurant meal is less popular. 60． All the places that serve appetizers _ . A. have much the same menu B. have their own particular characteristics C. have a bar with live music D. are located at the end of the town C To wash yourself, you take a bath(洗澡) or a shower. Animals need to keep clean, too. How do animals clean themselves? Cats lick（舔）themselves to keep their fur clean. Have you ever watched a pet cat clean itself? Elephants take baths much as you do. But instead of jumping into the tub（浴缸）, they walk into a river or lake. Pigs also like to roll around in water. This keeps them clean and cool. If there is no clean water, they will roll in mud（泥）on a hot day. They do this to cool off. Pigs do not really like mud. They are happier in a nice, clean pond(水池). Bats have a funny way to keep clean. They lick their thumbs to clean their ears! Guess how polar bears clean themselves. They use snow, of course! Some animals take baths in dust instead of water! The wombat(毛鼻袋熊) is an Australian animal with lots of fur. To get clean, it lies down. Then it covers itself with sand! Birds clean themselves in many ways. Sometimes they wash in water. That’s why some people put birdbaths in their yard. At other times birds take dust baths, just like wombats. Birds also use their beaks（喙）to keep their feathers clean. They use their beaks the way you use a comb. Sometimes a bird has itchy bugs（发痒的虫子）in its feathers. Birds may use ants to help them clean off the bugs. A bird will lie down on an ant nest. Then the ants will crawl on the bird. The ants make a kind of bug spray（喷雾）on the feathers;. Then the itchy bugs die! Birds take baths in something else besides dust and ants! Some birds take “smoke baths” They sit on chimneys. They wave their wings in the smoke! 63．This passage mainly tells us . A. why some people put birdbaths in their yard B. why birds allow ants to crawl on their body C. how animals cool off on hot days D. how some animals keep clean 64． What is a pig’s favorite way to get clean? A. Licking itself. B. Lying down on ants. C. Rolling in nice, thick mud. D. Taking a bath in clean water. 65．Which of the following animals use dust to clean themselves? A. Cats. B. Bats. C. Wombats. D. Ants.
D Some people have very good memory（记忆力） and they can easily remember quite long texts. There are other people who can only remember things when they have said them again and again. The famous English writer Charles Dickens said that he could walk down any long street in London and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed. Many great men of the world have a wonderful memory. A good memory is greatly helpful in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children, like the boys and girls who live abroad(国外) with their parents, seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not so easy to learn a second language because the students have so little time for it, and they are very busy with other subjects too. A man’s mind is like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but also of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, Some people have very good memory（记忆力） and they can easily remember quite long texts.In the same way, there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever(永远) in our minds. Memory is a diary, and we all carry it about us. We keep things we have experienced (经历)in this diary. 66．Which of the following is true? A. Charles Dickens had a good memory because he was a famous writer. B. People without a good memory cannot be great men of the world. C. People became great because they have a good memory. D. Many people may never become great though they have a good memory. 67．To learn a language well, one must ____
