Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 41 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 orange
25、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 may have
26、 been the first to see such orange lights but he wasnt the last. His experience was repeated 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
27、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 air and partly on ene
28、rgy 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 II, continues the theory, there was little radiated energy available on the earths surface. Then came the development of rockets, atomic react
29、ors, 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 been sighted pe
30、riodically from the earth since 1942. 42 The best statement of the main idea of this passage is 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 theory, the orange
31、lights are space animals （ D） the mysteries of nature can be completedly explained 43 The strange orange lights were first seen _. （ A） from the ground （ B） from a rocket ship （ C） during World War （ D） during World War 44 The theory says that during the daytime the space animals _. （ A） glow bright
32、ly in the sky （ B） are invisible （ C） can be seen from earth （ D） visit the earths surface 45 If the space animal theory is tree, 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 man 46 The sp
33、ace 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 46 Policeman James left the station just after 8:30 a. m. on Sunday July 5.
34、 He had spent a quiet night on duty and was looking forward to his rest day. As usual he took a short cut down the path behind Dugby road and after a minute or two he saw a man climbing down a drain-pipe from an open bedroom window of number 25. Silently James crept into the garden. The man reached
35、the ground and was dusting himself down when he felt his arm gripped. “Its 8:45 on a Sunday morning, “ said the policeman, “and this sort of thing seems an unlikely adventure at such a time. Would you mind explaining?“ The man was obviously startled but kept calm immediately. He said, “I know what y
36、oure thinking, officer, but it isnt true. This is a very funny mistake. “ “Its part of my job to take an interest in unusual events. I think youve just left this house in a manner other than the customary one. That may be quite innocent, but Id like to make sure. . “ James took out his notebook and
37、a pen. “Name, address and occupation and then, please, tell me what happened. “ “Charlie Lewis, lorry driver, from Nottingham, 52 Brecon Street. My story. . . “ “Yes. What were you doing like a fly on that wail, Mr. Lewis? . . . . Well, I had a breakdown yesterday and had to stay the night here. Bed
38、 and breakfast. The landladys name is Mrs. Crane. She gave me breakfast at seven, and I was out of here in the right way and down at the lorry by half past. 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 unde
39、r my pillow at night. Its a habit Ive got into. I even do it at home. . . “ “I see. Why didnt you miss it when you went to pay Mrs. . . Whats her name? . . . . Id paid her last night. Youve got to pay when you take the room, right? So I came rushing back, but its Sunday, and shed gone back to bed, a
40、nd could I wake her? I rang the bell and banged on the front door for several minutes before I came round here to the back spotting my bedroom window still open. Up I went, then, up this pipe. Its a trick I learnt in the army. She hadnt made the bed, and the money was still there. You know the rest,
41、 and I hope you believe it because. . . “ “Mr. Lewis, whatever are you doing here? I thought youd gone one hour and a half ago. “It was Mrs. Crane, speaking from the kitchen window at the comer of the house. 47 Why was James walking along that path? （ A） He usually discovered something suspicious al

45、. （ D） Making beds. 51 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 oc
46、casions over the past 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.
47、 Some scientists consider 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 w
48、orlds temperature is 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 temper
49、ature - a result that 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 report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the
