Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 46 On 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 o
26、range lights in a row, moving at a fantastic rate of speed. As a sophisticated flyer, he had 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 ma
27、y have been the first to see such orange lights but he wasnt the last. His experience was repeated several 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 ligh
28、ts are space animals-animals specially adapted to life in the upper atmosphere just as some 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 water in air and par
29、tly on energy from sunlight. Being almost pure energy themselves, they can adjust their bodies to glow at night. During the day they become invisible. Before World War , continues the theory, there was little radiated energy available on the earths surface. Then there came the development of rockets
30、, atomic reactors, and hydroelectric plants. The space creatures are attracted by these sources of energy. 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 b
31、een sighted periodically from the earth since 1942. 46 The best statement of the main idea of this passage if that _. （ A） Captain Nash saw twelve orange lights moving at a fantastic rate of speed （ B） Captain Nash may have been the first to see lights in space （ C） according to an interesting theor
32、y, the orange lights are space animals （ D） the mysteries of nature can be completely explained 47 The strange orange lights were first seen _. （ A） from the ground （ B） from a rocket ship （ C） during World War （ D） during World War 48 The theory says that during the daytime the space animals _. （ A
33、） glow brightly in the sky （ B） are invisible （ C） can be seen from earth （ D） visit the earths surface 49 If the space animal theory is true, the creatures go down to the lower regions in order to _. （ A） escape detection （ B） arouse curiosity （ C） search for man-made energy （ D） make contact with
34、man 50 The space animal theory would seem to indicate that _. （ A） living creatures are extremely adaptable （ B） life in space is impossible for man （ C） the fittest creatures always survive （ D） life cannot exist in the depth of the sea 51 We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are
35、about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broken up with Helen?“ “When I got that great job did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend?“ “Or did be envy my luck?“ “And Paul- why didnt I pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?“ When we look back
36、, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, its too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we dont really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “Youre a lucky dog.“
37、Is he really on your side? If he says, “Youre a lucky guy“ or “Youre a lucky gal,“ thats being friendly. But “lucky dog“ ? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “dog“ bit puts you down a little. What be may be saying is that be doesnt think you dese
38、rve your luck. “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for“ is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of you life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your prob
39、lem isnt important. Its telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you havent got a date for Saturday night. How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says squa
40、re with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake. Note: guy = boy; gal = girl 51 In paragraph 1, when the writer recalls some things that happened between him and his
41、friends, _. （ A） he feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him. （ B） he feels he may not have “read“ his friends true feelings correctly. （ C） he thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girlfriend. （ D） he is sorry that his friends let him down. 52 In paragraph 2, the write
42、r talks about someone saying, “Youre a lucky dog.“ He is saying that _. （ A） the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly （ B） this saying means the same as “Youre a lucky guy“ or “Youre a lucky gal“ （ C） the word “dog“ shouldnt be used to apply to people （ D） sometimes the words used by a sp
43、eaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words 53 The main purpose of this passage is to tell us how to _. （ A） avoid mistakes about money （ B） treat your friends （ C） avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you （ D） keep people friendly without trusting them 54 In listening to a person
44、the important thing is _. （ A） to notice his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes （ B） to listen to how he pronounces his words （ C） to check his words against his manner, his tone of voice and his posture （ D） not to believe what he says 55 If you followed the advice of the writer, you would
45、（ A） be careful to weigh what people say to determine their real meaning （ B） misunderstanding what people say （ C） be fortunate enough to have a date on Saturday evenings （ D） be able to avoid making mistakes about money 56 Hong Kongs once booming movie industry-one of the worlds biggest faces exti
46、nction as video piracy(盗版 )becomes more and more popular. Gone are the days when film fans swarmed to cinemas to see latest-released local movies. “the Hong Kong film industry will disappear in a few years unless something is done,“ said Woody, chief executive of the Motion Picture Industry Associat
47、ion. The industry started going downhill in the early 1990s when major investors backed off in the face of rising copyright piracy. “since the Taiwanese have stopped investing in or buying the copyright for Hong Kong movies at very high prices, theres not too much money coming in from Taiwan,“ a dir
48、ector said. “Taiwan money had funded at least half of the industry in the late 1980s and early 1990s“. she said. Hong Kong made 86 movies in 2002, a fifth of the 426 produced in 1994. The industry employs just 5,000 people now, down from 30,000 in 1994. The industrys fading attraction has also dimme
49、d the careers of its stars. Now, besides making far fewer films, they have turned to other fields, such as drama, television, radio or business. Copyright piracy is at the heart of the problem. The widespread sale of pirated video compact discs has drawn audiences away from the big screen or genuine products. Pirated editions flood Hong Kong, with shops selling VCDs of the late
