阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并把答案写在答题卷上
A
It is sometimes said that strange flying objects have been seen high
up in the sky. 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 wasn’t 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 wasn’t smoke because
it didn’t change its shape. It was moving in a regular way. That is to say, it
didn’t go suddenly faster or more slowly, and it didn’t 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?
56. UFOs are _____.
A . flying high up in the
sky B.
strange flying objects
C. difficult to believe D.
very interested
57. The UFO moved _____.
A. regularly B.
in a changeable way C. slowly D.
fast
58. The UFO looked like _____.
A. smoke B.
a large plate C.
light D.
a jumping object
59. The UFO was seen _____.
A. by Burdens and his friend
B. brighter in the darkness
C. by several people
D. to have a yellow bottom and a red top
in the same way
B
We often hear people say, “I
have a good memory for things like that” or “I can remember names”. But do you
know memory is the single most important thing and it has played a very
important part?
For early men, there were dangerous all
around them----bad weather, wild animals. The keys to keep on living lay in
man’s ability to remember these dangers and the ways he had dealt with them in
the past. In order for memories to be stored, the human brain became more
complex. And as man learned how to deal with them, he became civilized (文明).Surprisingly,
scientists today understand little about memory and how it works. They have not
yet found a way to open up the brain and observe its function without
destroying it. Perhaps there are two types of memory: short-term and long-term.
Short-term refers to those facts that stay with us for a few seconds to a few
hours. For instance, when you stay at a hotel, you remember the room number and
forget as soon as you leave. Long-term memory, on the other hand, means you
remember things for a long period of time. If you spend your honeymoon in a
particular hotel, it’s likely that you’ll remember your stay quite clearly.
Scientists also believe that a short-term
memory can become a long-term memory through consolidation(巩固). A lot of chemical and physical changes take place in the part of
the brain. Although the human brain weighs three pounds, it contains 30 billion
nerve cells(神经细胞) acting like a computer. When those
changes strengthen the links(联系) in certain nerve cells,
a though becomes a part of the long-term memory.
60. According to the author, without the development of man’s memory there
would be _____.
A. no modern world B. no recorded history C. no animals D. no dangers
61. Scientists’ knowledge about the function
of brain is _____.
A. interesting B. not enough C. great D. encouraging
62. Short-term memory can change into
long-term memory on condition that _____.
A. memory is good
B. it acts like a computer
C. people do more exercise
D. the links in nerve cells are
strengthened by certain changes
63. So far the great discovery scientists
have made about the function of brain is _____.
A. the weight of brain B. two types of memory
C. 30 billion nerve cells D. chemical and physical changes
C
I’m writing this letter slowly because I
know you can’t read fast. We don’t live where we did when you left home. Your
dad read in the newspaper that most accident happened within 20 miles from your
home, so we moved.
I won’t be able to send you the address
because the last family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved
so that they wouldn’t have to change their address. This place is really nice.
It even has a washing machine I’m not sure it works so well though: last week I
put a load in and pulled the chain and haven’t seen them since. The weather
isn’t bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first time for three days
and the second time for four days. About that coat you wanted me to send you,
your uncle Stanley said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the
buttons on so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.
John locked his keys in the car
yesterday. We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and
your father out. Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven’t found out
what sex it is yet. The baby looks just like your brother.
Uncle Ted fell in a whiskey vat last
week. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off playfully and
drowned. We had him cremated and he burned for three days.
Three of your friends went off a bridge
in a pick-up trunk. Ralph was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to
safety. You other two friends were in back. They drowned because they couldn’t
get the tail gate down.
There isn’t much more news at this time.
Nothing much has happened.
Love, Mom

already sealed.

When we hear the words “ college students”, we usually think of a young person between 18 and 22 years old. But in the U.S.A today, a college student often is much older. In fact, educators say in the next few years colleges and universities may have more older part-time students than traditional (传统的) full-time younger students.
Educators report a big increase in the number of Americans who attend college and university classes in the evening or at night or weekends. Most of them are older than 25 years old and more have full-time or part-time jobs. Many are in their thirties or forties.
Why are so many people deciding to spend their time and money in order to continue their education? Most are doing it because they believe more education will help them to get a better job. Some are industrial workers whose factories have closed. They are learning new skills to prepare for other kinds of work. Some of the part-time students are not pleased with the jobs they have. They are studying for new ones. Some have retired (退休) and are looking for new kinds of work. Two of every three of the students older than 35 are women. Many of them are returning to school after years of staying at home to care for children.
Are older students good students? Most teachers say yes. They say older students really want to learn. They ask difficult questions and are not pleased with simple answers. They often get high grades.

Charles Chaplin, who died in 1977, is considered one of the greatest and funniest actors in the history of the cinema. During his lifetime, he acted in 13 films, and he wrote, directed and acted in 69 other films.
Chaplin was born in London in 1889.When a poor boy, he was often seen waiting outside the London theatres, hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, and above all, he knew how to make people laugh. But he couldn’t get work and therefore wandered about the city streets. Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had not parents.
Charlie Chaplin first acted when he was five. He broke into show business because his mother, a music-hall performer, lost her voice during the performance and had to leave the stage, and Charlie went on and sang a well-known song. Halfway through the song a shower of money poured onto the stage. Charlie stopped singing and told audiences he would pick the money first and then finish the song. The audiences laughed. This was the first of millions of laughs in Charlie Chaplin’s fabulous career(神话般的生涯).
Twenty years later the same Chaplin became the greatest and best loved comedian in the world. His dream came true in the end. Chaplin became world-famous and almost a king in the world of the film.
Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s films because they are mostly silent. The equipment for adding sound to films had not yet been developed. The development of films with sound became a problem for Chaplin, as he was uncertain about making films with dialogues. Instead, he continued to make films without dialogue, but he added music, which he wrote himself. It isn’t what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy doesn’t depend on words. It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people the world over.
Chaplin’s later films, however, were not well received. Chaplin lived most of his life in America and the last years in Switzerland, where he was buried at Christmas 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.
In his book, Chaplin tells us how to succeed in life. He says, “You have to believe in yourself. That’s the secret.”
72. Chaplin is regarded as king of comedy mainly because _______.
A. he acted out the common human situations best in his comedy
B. he could sing and dance well
C. he knew how to make people laugh
D. lots of people have seen his films
73. What makes people laugh in Chaplin’s films?
A. It isn’t his words but his actions B. Neither his words nor actions
C. Either his words or his actions D. Not only his words but also his actions
74. The only secret of Charles Chaplin’s huge success is that _______.
A. he can make all people, men and women, old and young laugh
B. he has full trust in himself
C. he is always active and hard-working all his life
D. though he is always in trouble, he never loses heart
75. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. He was too shy to meet the managers of the theatres.
B. People won’t stop laughing until tears run down Chaplin’s face.
C. People all over the world can enjoy Chaplin’s films without translation because most of them are silent.
D. He wouldn’t like to work at the theatre.

On one Sunday morning, I met a foreigner in a shop. He wanted
to buy something, but he couldn’t understand Chinese. So he
was very anxious. Looking this, I went up to him and asked him
