23、ht of May 7,1942, a plane took off from an Air Force base in England to stop German fighters over the English Channel. Pilot of the plane was Captain Thomas Nash. Looking eastward, Nash saw twelve orange lights in a row ,moving at a fantastic rate of speed. As a sophisticated flyer, he had never see

24、n anything like them. Thinking that they might be a new German weapon, he decided to chase them. But when he swung the plane around and headed directly for the lights, they vanished. Captain Nash may have been the first to see such orange lights but he wasnt the last. His experience was repeated sev

25、eral times by pilots during World War in Europe and the Far East. What were they? No one knows for sure, but there is an interesting theory to explain them. According to this theory, the orange lights are space animals animals specially adapted to life in the upper atmosphere just as some creatures

26、are adapted to life at the bottom of the sea. These space animals, the theory says, live so far up in the atmosphere that they are invisible from earth. They feed in part on the air and partly on energy from sunlight. Being almost pure energy themselves ,they can adjust their bodies to glow at night

27、 During the day they become invisible. Before World War , continues the theory, there was little radiated energy available on the earth s surface. Then came the development of rockets, atomic reactors, and hydroelectric plants The space creatures are attracted by these sources of energy. At night w

28、hen no energy emitted from sunlight, they go down into the lower levels to search a meal. They may even drift into the scope of human eyesight. This explains the fact that they have been sighted periodically from the earth since 1942. （分数：1.00）(1).The best statement of the main idea of this passage

29、is that_.（分数：0.20）A.Captain Nash saw twelve orange lights moving at a fantastic rate of speedB.Captain Nash may have been the first to see lights in spaceC.according to an interesting theory, the orange lights are space animalsD.the mysteries of nature can be completely explained(2).The strange oran

30、ge lights were first seen_.（分数：0.20）A.from the groundB.from a rocket shipC.during World War ID.during World War (3).The theory says that during the daytime the space animals_.（分数：0.20）A.glow brightly in the skyB.are invisibleC.can be seen from earthD.visit the earth s surface(4).If the space animal

31、theory is true, the creatures go down to the lower regions in order to_.（分数：0.20）A.escape detectionB.arouse curiosityC.search for man-made energyD.make contact with man(5).The space animal theory would seem to indicate that_.（分数：0.20）A.living creatures are extremely adaptableB.life in space is impos

32、sible for manC.the fittest creatures always surviveD.life cannot exist in the depth of the seaMy family and I recently returned from a trip to Alaska, a place that combines supernatural beauty with a breathtaking amount of bear risks. Ill start with some facts at a glance: WHERE ALASKA IS: Way the h

33、ell far from you. Beyond Mars. HOW YOU GET THERE: You sit in a variety of airplanes for most of your adult life. WHAT THEY HAVE THERE THAT WILL TRY TO KILL YOU: Bears. I am quite serious about this. Although Alaska is now an official United States with modem conveniences such as rental cars and froz

34、en yogurt, it also contains a large number of admitted bears, striding freely about the landscape, and nobody seems to be the least bit alarmed about this. In fact, the Alaskans seem to be proud of it. You walk into a hotel or department store, and the first thing you see is a glass case containing

35、a stuffed bear the size of a real one. Our hotel had two of these. It was what we travel writers call “a two-bear hotel“. Both bears were standing on their hind legs and striking a pose that said: “Welcome to Alaska! Im going to tear your arms off!“ This struck me as an odd concept, greeting visitor

36、s with a showcase containing a major local hazard. Its as if an anti-drug organization went around setting up glass display cases containing stuffed drug smugglers, with little plaques stating how much they weighed and where they were taken. Anyway, we decided the best way to deal with our fear of b

37、ears was to become well informed about them, so we bought a book, Alaska Bear Tales. Here are some of the chapter titles, which I am not making up. “Theyll Attack Without Warning“ “Theyll Really Attack You“ “They Will Kill“ “Come Quick ! Im Being Eaten by a Bear !“ “They Can Be Funny“ Ha ha ! I bet

38、they can. I bet Mr. and Mrs. Bear and a bundle of hilarity as they fight playfully over the remaining portion of a former tourist plumped up by airline food. But just the same, I m glad that the only actual, nonstuffed, practicing bears that we saw were in the zoo. （分数：1.00）(1).What is the tone of t

40、s.B.Because they are used to give warnings to visitors about bears.C.Because they are as funny as stuffed bears.D.Because they are used to show the oddness of the stuffed bears.(4).What s the author s impression of Alaska?（分数：0.20）A.Positive.B.Negative.C.Neutral.D.Funny.(5).What can we learn from th

42、g real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness, then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true; more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain. As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They f

43、ear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvement. Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of mak

44、ing a commitment, for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three-day vacation. I dont know

45、any parent who would choose the word “fun“ to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children will never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild. Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most lib

It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now unde

47、rstand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. （分数：1.00）(1).According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because he_.（分数：0.20）A.is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB.believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC.f
