26、The fattened (压平的 ) wheat formed a circle about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. The five circles were in a formation like five dots. During the following years, farmers in England found the strange circles in their fields more and more often. The c
27、ircles are called “crop circles” because they appear in the fields of grain - usually wheat or corn. The grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but never broken; it continues to grow, and farmers can later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles prob
28、ably form at night. They appear only in the months from May to September. At first, people thought that the circles were a hoax. Probably young people were making them as a joke, or farmers were making them to attract tourists. To prove that the circles were a hoax, people tried to make circles exac
29、tly like the ones that farmer had found. They couldnt do it. They couldnt enter a field of grain without leaving tracks(痕迹 ), and they couldnt flatten the grain without breaking it. Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circle to communicate with us from far away and that t
30、he crop circles are messages from them. Scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities. Some scientists say that a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circles - the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash. Other scientists sa
31、y that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear. There is one problem with all these scientific explanations: crop circles often appear in formations, like the five-dot formation. It is hard to believe that any natural force could form those. 【小题 1】 In the summer of 1978, an English farme
32、r discovered in his field that _. A some of his wheat had been damaged B his grain was growing up in circles. C his grain was moved into several circles D some of his wheat had fallen onto the ground. 【小题 2】 According to the text, the underlined part “hoax” (in the 3rd paragraph) probably means _. A
33、 an attempt made to fool people B a special way to plant crops C a research on the force of winds D an experiment for the protection of crops. 【小题 3】 Which of the following may prove that the crop circles are not made by man A The farmer couldnt step out of the field. B The farmers couldnt make the
34、circles round. C The farmers couldnt leave without footprints. D The farmers couldnt keep the wheat straight up. 【小题 4】 A proper title for this passage is _. A An Unsolved Mystery B Strange Flying Objects C The Power of Natural Forces D The discovery of Strange Circles 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 A 【小题 3】 C
35、 【小题 4】 A Howling(吼叫 ) is a behavior commonly observed among a wolf pack(狼群 ). As pack animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other. Therere different explanations of a wolfs howl and it appears that there may be more to discover O
36、ne theory is that wolves howl to bond better together. Its almost as if howling together helps the pack stay together. Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H. Harrington, a profess
37、or who studies wolf behavior. Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus(合唱 ), and the next, quarreling among each other. It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may actually be “punished” for joining in the chorus at times. So is h
38、owling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status (地位 ) among its members Why do wolves howl for sure What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among pack mates to locate each other. Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one ano
39、ther at times. When this happens, howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering. Howling, interestingly, is a contagious behavior. When one wolf starts to howl, very likely others will follow. This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call” where
40、wolves all howl together to report their 【小题 1】 What is the possible similarity between wolves howling together and humans singing in chorus A The act of calling each other B The sense of accomplishment C The act of hunting for something D The sense of belonging to a group 【小题 2】 Why does Harrington
41、 think the “social bond” theory may be wrong A Wolves separate from each other after howling B Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds C Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together D Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus 【小题 3】 Researchers are sure that wolves often
42、howl to_ A show their ranks B find their companions C report the missing ones D express their loneliness 【小题 4】 “Howling is a contagious behaviour”（ in the last paragraph）means_ A howling is a signal for hunting B howling is a way of communication C howling often occurs in the morning D howling spre
