23、n the night 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
24、never seen 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 repe
25、ated several times by pilots during World War II 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 so
26、me creatures 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
27、glow at night. During the day they become invisible. Before World War II, continues the theory, there was little radiated energy available on the earths surface. Then came the development of rockets, atomic reactors, and hydroelectric plants. The space creatures are attracted by these sources of ene
28、rgy. At night when 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：5.00）(1).The best statement of the main idea of
29、 this passage is that _.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 completedly explained（分数：1.00）

31、earths surface（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).If the space animal theory is tree, the creatures go down to the lower regions in order to _.A. escape detection B. arouse curiosityC. search for man-made energy D. make contact with man（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The space animal theory would seem to indicate that _.A. l

It was only when I felt around for a cigarette I found Id left $ 90 in my pay envelope under the pillow here at number 25. I always put it under my pillow at night. Its a habit Ive got into. I

44、.00)There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the pa
45、st decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists co
46、nsider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil)is creating a “greenhouse effect“ - conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the worlds average temperature. If this view is correct and the worlds temperature i
47、s raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earths temperature - a result tha
48、t would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government repo
49、rt drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the worlds temperature will stay about the same as it is now.（分数：5.00）(1).As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _.A. caused widespread damage in the countrysideB. affected the entire eastern half of the United StatesC. had damaged effect on healthD. existed merely i
