Indeed, they could have landed on 90 percent of the earth as recentl
21、y as two or three hundred years ago, and we could never have heard of it. If one searches through old newspapers and local records, one can find many reports of strange incidents that could be interpreted as visits from outer space. A stimulating writer, Charles Fort, has made a collection of UFO si
22、ghting in his book! One is tempted to believe them more than any modern reports, for the simple reason that they happened long before anyone had ever thought of space travel. Yet at the same time, one cant take them too seriously, for before scientific education was widespread, even sightings of met
23、eors, comets, auroras, and so on, gave rise to the most incredible stories, as they still do today.（分数：15.00）(1).According to the passage, visitors from space may have landed on the earth _.A. long before man had dreamed of itB. long before there were human beingsC. in the last few hundred yearsD. a

27、e who lack scientific knowledge（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.When a student, I was a member of the collegiate basketball team. It was mainly composed of bookish students. Only one could be counted as natural athlete, another half-qualified. Thats why we were defeated nine out of ten games. Our spirits, however,
28、had never dampened, for we were a cheerful team. None would strive to get into the spotlight when we were gaining the upper hand nor would we blame each other when we were losing. Thus a cordial relationship between members prevailed in our team. Most recommendable of all was our morale which never
29、lowered. Our sportsmanship also remained good. We persisted in carrying on to the last when suffering great loss. We knew we had done our best, showing no regret at failure. To the rest of the students our team was a good one though it lost the game. They kept encouraging us and none of them was dis
30、appointed.Recently I have avoided watching games, not even at a TV live coverage, still less to the match in person. Thats because I know I couldnt control myself. When watching a match, Ill inevitably take sides and be emotionally involved, strongly wishing for the triumph of the side over its oppo
31、nent. As I often side with the “weaker “ in a match, watching it will only spell worry and misery for me.Not long ago when I accompanied my wife to a super world tennis match my horizons broadened as regards sports competition. It seemed to me that wins and losses were relative and transient. What m
32、attered was the ever-higher level achieved through contest. Victory was a result of all the efforts made by both sides. As one of the audience, I should applaud the energetic performance of both to the neglect of the result. Why should I regard the contest as a life-and-death struggle, the winner as
33、 survival and the loser as dead?（分数：15.00）(1).The basketball team was often defeated because _.A. the team members didnt know how to play basketballB. the team members were students who only know how to study book knowledgeC. there were only one or two members who were qualified for basketballD. the

He sat with his typewriter in front of him, but he had no ideas. So he decided to go to the cinema.When he came back, he found
38、that he had had a visitor. Someone had broken into his flat. The man had had a drink, smoked several of Toms cigarettes-and had read his story. The visitor left Tom a note:I have read your story and I dont think much of it. Please read my suggestions and then you can finish it. By the way, I am a bu
39、rglar, I am not going to steal anything tonight. But if you become a successful writer, I will return!Tom read the burglars suggestions. Then he sat down and wrote the rest of the story.

43、the average women. Women won their independence years ago. After a long, biter struggle, they now enjoy the same educational opportunities as men in most parts of the world. They have proved repeatedly that they are equal and often superior to men in almost every field. The hard-fought battle for re
44、cognition has been won, but it is by no means over. It is men, not women who still carry on the sex war because their attitude remains basically hostile. Even in the most progressive societies, women continue to he regarded as second-rate citizens. Hearing some men talk, youd think that women belong
45、 to a different species. On the surface, the comments made by men about womens abilities seem light-heartiness does not conceal the real contempt (轻视) that men feel for women. However much men sneer at women, their claims to superiority are not borne out by statistics. We all know that women cause f
46、ar fewer accidents than men. They are too careful and responsible to drive like menaces. But this is a minor quibble (双关语). Women have succeeded in any job you care to name. As politicians, soldiers, doctors, bus-conductors, scientists and presidents of countries they have often put men to shame. An
