Pilot of the pla
26、ne 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 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
27、 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 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 th
28、eory 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 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 invi
29、sible 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. During the day they become invisible. Before World War , continues the theory, there was little radiated energy available on the eart
30、h 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 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 e
31、yesight. 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 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
32、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 orange 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 tha
33、t 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 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-m
34、ade 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 impossible for manC.the fittest creatures always surviveD.life cannot exist in the depth of the seaPetroleum products, such as gasoline, ker
35、osine, home heating oil, residual fuel oil, and lubricating oil, all come from one source crude oil found below the earth s surface, as well as under large bodies of water, from a few hundred feet below the surface to as deep as 25 000 feet into the earths interior. Sometimes crude oil is secured by
36、 drilling a hole through the earth, but more dry holes are drilled than those generating oil. Pressure at the source or pumping forces crude oil to the surface. Crude oil wells flow at varying rates, from ten to thousands of barrels per. hour. Petroleum products are always measured in 42-gallon barr
37、els. Petroleum products are different in physical appearance: thin, thick, transparent or opaque, but their chemical composition is made up of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen, which form compounds called hydrocarbons. Other chemical elements found in union with the hydrocarbons are few and ar
38、e classified as impurities. Trace elements are also found, but these are of such minute quantities that they are disregarded. The combination of carbon and hydrogen forms many thousands of compounds which are possible because of the various positions and joinings of these two atoms in the hydrocarbo
39、n molecule. The various petroleum products are refined from the crude oil by heating and condensing the vapors. These products are light oils, such as gasoline, kerosine, and distillate oil. The residue remaining after the light oils are distilled is named as heavy or residual fuel oil and is used m
40、ostly for burning under boilers. Additional complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical structure of the hydrocarbons to produce other products, some of which are used to upgrade and increase the octane rating of various kinds of gasoline. （分数：1.00）(1).Which of the following is NOT true?（分
41、数：0.20）A.Crude oil is found below land and water.B.Crude oil is always found a few hundred feet below the surface.C.Pumping and pressure force crude oil to the surface.D.A variety of petroleum products is obtained from crude oil.(2).Many thousands of hydrocarbon compounds are possible because_.（分数：0
42、.20）A.the petroleum products vary greatly in physical appearanceB.complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical structureC.the two atoms in the molecule assume many positionsD.the pressure needed to force it to the surface causes molecular transformation(3).Which of the following is TRUE?（分数
43、：0.20）A.The various petroleum products are produced by filtration.B.Heating and condensation produce the various products.C.Chemical separation is used to produce the various products.D.Mechanical means such as the centrifuge are used to produce the various products(4).How is crude oil brought to th
44、e surface?（分数：0.20）A.By expansion of the hydrocarbons.B.By pressure and pumping.C.By vacuum created in the drilling pipe.D.By expansion and contraction of the earths surface.(5).Which of the following is NOT listed as a light oil?（分数：0.20）A.Gasoline.B.Kerosine.C.Distillate oil.D.Diesel oil.Finishing
45、 teachers evaluations need maturity and objectivity. Every semester we have the opportunity to evaluate our instructors. We are supposed to judge their lectures, interest in students problems, methods of assigning work, and general ability to conduct a class. Then, when the instructor has left the r
46、oom, we must write our evaluations on the forms provided. We are not sup-posed to exchange view or discuss our responses. After everyone has completed the forms, one student collects and tallies the responses and then puts them in an envelope and makes them sealed. It is very difficult to evaluate a
47、nother persons performance objectively. For example, Senta recently wrote irresponsible remarks about her instructor because she was falling to pass the course. Her friend Sam wrote a marvelous description of the same instructor because he received an A in the course. Both Senta and Sam were not fai
48、rly evaluating the instructor. They were affected by the grades they were earning and were biased in their judgments. Another irresponsible form of evaluation occurred when James rated his instructor excellent be- cause the instructor is “easy“. He gives few tests and only assigns one paper during t
49、he entire term. His lectures are often full of jokes and endless stories. On the other hand, James rated Pro fessor Jones poor because he assigns text work dally, gives pretest and post test reviews, and packs his lectures with a lot of information. （分数：1.00）(1).Student should evaluate their instructors _.（分数：0.20）A.by discussing opinions with classmatesB.by rating the instructors interest in students problemC.by discussing opinions with instructorsD.by rating instructors humorous rema
