A
In 1947 the pilot of a small aeroplane saw nine strange objects in the sky over Washington, USA. He said that they looked like saucers. Newspapers printed his story under the headline “Flying Saucers”.
Since then, all over the world, people have reported similar strange flying objects. No one knows what they are or where they come from. Some people say that they do not exist, but many others say that they have seen them. Usually people on the ground have seen them but not always. Airline pilots also have reported seeing them and so have astronauts —the men who fly in spaceships.
Perhaps some people saw them only in their imagination or illusion（幻觉，错觉）. Perhaps some people made a mistake . But airline pilots and astronauts do not usually make mistakes of this kind. Captain Ed Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon, said in 1974 that he believes that some “flying saucers ” are real. Many othe r people now believe that these strange flying objects are visiting the earth from other worlds in space.
“They have come to greet us. ” They say.
The American government tried to find out more about these objects. It listened to a great many people who said they had seen them. But the Government Committee could not decide on what the objects were. It called them UFOs, which is short for Unidentified Flying Objects .
Some even say they have seen people in the flying saucers! In 1964, a driver of a police car in New Mexico saw a UFO landing a mile away. When he reached it, there were two small figures standing near it. They looked like little men. When he reported on his radio, they got inside the object and flew away.
In 1973 two men were out fishing in Mississippi River. They say they saw a UFO shaped like an egg. There were three creatures like men but their skins were silver in colour. They had no eyes, and their mouths were just slits （裂缝）, Their noses and ears were pointed. They made the fishermen get inside the UFO for a while. Then the creatures photographed them and took them to the place where they had been fishing.
There are many other similar stories. Some are probably untrue but some may be true. No one knows.
41. The American government tried to ____.
A. look for the flying objects B. know where the objects come from
C. learn more about UFOs D. report more about UFOs
42. According to the passage, the name “flying saucers” was first used by ____.
A. a pilot of a small plane B. an official in Washington
C. an editor of a newspaper D. the man who flies in saucers
43. The purpose of this passage is to tell us ____.
A. the shape of UFOs B. how to observe UFOs
C. the danger of UFOs D. what we know about UFOs
44. It is implied in the passage that the author ____.
A. does not believe at all about the existence of UFOs
B. believes that UFOs are real objects flying in the sky
C. is not sure whether there are UFOs or not
D. thinks UFOs come from other planets
B
In many businesses, computers have largely replaced paperwork, because they are fast, flexible, and do not make mistakes. As one banker said , “Unlike humans, computers never have a bad d ay.” And they are honest. Many banks advertise that their transactions are “untouched by human hands” and therefore safe from human temptation. Obviously, computers have no reason to steal money. But they also have no conscience（良心）and the growing number of computer crimes shows they can be used to steal.
Computer criminals don’t use guns. And even if they are caught, it is hard to punish them because there are no witness and often no evidence. A computer cannot remember who used it; it simply does what it is told. The head teller at a New York City bank used a computer to steal more than one and a half billion dollars in just four years. No one noticed this theft because he moved the money from one account to another. Each time a customer he had robbed questioned the balance in his account, the teller claimed a computer error, then replaced the missing money from someone else’s account. This man was caught only because he was a gambler. When the police broke up an illegal（非法的）gambling operation, his name was in the records.
Some employees use the computer’s power to get revenge（报复）on employers they consider unfair. Recently, a large insurance company fired its computer-tape librarian for reasons that involved her personal rather than her professional life. She was given thirty day’s notice. In those thirty days, she erased all the company’s computerized records.
Most computer criminals have been minor employees. Now police wonder if this is the tip of the iceberg . As one official says, “ I have a feeling that there is more crime out there than we are catching. What we are seeing now is all so poorly done. I wonder what the real experts are doing—the ones who really know how a computer works.”
45. Which feature of computers makes computer theft possible?
A. They are fast, flexible and accurate. B. They usually “feel good”.
C. They have no conscience. D. They are honest.
46. It is hard to catch computer criminals because ____.
A. computers forget who used them
B. computer criminals seldom bear witness or leave evidence
C. computer criminals don’t use weapons
D. computers simply do what they are told
47. A certain head teller at a New York City bank was exposed when ____.
A. his name was found in illegal gambling records
B. he was replacing the missing money from someone else’s account
C. a customer questioned the balance in his account
D. the police broke up an illegal gambling operation
48 What conclusion can a reader draw from the passage?
A. Computer criminals are minor employees.
B. Of all crimes, computer theft is but “the tip of the iceberg”.
C. Computer crimes are all so poorly done.
D. There is more computer crime out there committed by real experts.
C
As students across the country have their yearly flu shots（打流感疫苗）, doctors across the world are preparing against a possible outbreak of bird flu that few current vaccines（疫苗）will guard against. The likelihood of a bird flu spreading among humans is very high, the World Health Organization warned recently. European countries worry about bird flu very much, since many migratory birds（候鸟）start to fly back from the North.
There are at least 15 different types of bird flu virus around the world. The possible outbreak may be caused by a virus known as H5N1. It was first found to have spread from a bird to a human in Hong Kong in 1997. In addition to Asia, this bird flu has been found among birds in Romania, Turkey, Russia and Kazakhstan.
The outbreak in 1997 in Hong Kong was quickly controlled at a cost of 18 people ill and six dead. About 1.5 million chickens were collected in an effort to remove the source of the virus. But scientists say that the virus can change itself rapidly. Also, if the virus mixes with the human flu virus, it could be spread through person-to-person contact in the same way as ordinary human flu is spread. Bird flu can cause fever, coughing, sore throats and muscle aches in humans. With the introduction of vaccines, flu is not as deadly as it used to be. But throughout history it was a huge cause of death around the world. The outbreak of Spanish flu in 1918-19 killed about 40 to 50 million people worldwide.
Currently there is no vaccine against bird flu that can be used on humans. Scientists are working to develop one. This will probably take several months to complete and may not be ready in time to stop a widespread outbreak of the disease.
49. The author mainly tells us _____ in the passage.
A. people all over the world are worried about the outbreak of bird flu
B. there is a good chance of bird flu spreading to humans, which might be deadly
C. scientists are working together to develop vaccines against bird flu
D. throughout history, bird flu was a huge cause of death around the world
50. Which statement is NOT true?
A. The outbreak of bird flu in 1997 in Hong Kong was caused by a virus known as H5N1.
B. H5N1 wasn’t discovered until it was found among birds in Romania and Turkey.
C. The Spanish flu in 1918-19 was deadly because it was spread from person to person.
D. People infected by bird flu suffer from fever, coughing, sore throats and muscle aches.
51. An outbreak of dangerous bird flu is possible because ______.
A. the constant changing of H5N1 may enable it to mix with the human flu virus
B. the symptoms（症状）of bird flu are just like human flu, making it hard to discover
C. there are at least 15 different types of bird flu virus
D. many countries have been affected by the dangerous disease before
52. According to the scientists, _______.
A. people needn’t worry about the outbreak of bird flu
B. the virus can’t be spread among humans
C. no vaccine against bird flu can be used on humans right now
D. many migratory birds start to fly back from the North
53. We can infer from the passage that _______.
A. in several months, a widespread outbreak of the disease can be stopped
B. the bird flu in 1997 in Hong Kong was soon stopped
C. as time goes on, bird flu is becoming more deadly
D. it takes scientists great effort to stop the possible outbreak of bird flu
D
Love Creates Power
I don’t know how many good teachers there are in the world, but I feel it is deeply important for a student who is in trouble to meet a good teacher.
students when he gets a chance. For example, the teacher looks down upon a student due to her failure in math. It’s not that this student is stupid but rather she has no interest in math. The math teacher always gives the girl the cold shoulder and says this girl is the stupidest student he has ever seen. One time this student got the lowest score on a math exam, the teacher made fun of her and then let other students guess who had the worst score. When that student had some questions to ask the teacher, he was impatient with her.
Finally, the girl said to me that paradise is very far from her. Every day she feels Eden, but there is no way to reach it. She feels that she is a tiny lantern which is placed into the water and will slowly drift out to sea until it can’t be seen. What a lonely vision that is!
All students have different abilities because each of them is unique. No one can foretell（预示）their future. The teachers should learn how to treat the slower students properly, how to encourage them and not to hurt their feelings. Please leave a bit of love for these special students.
“It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving,” said Mother Terasa. After a ll, love can create power.
54. The underline word “ridicule” in the second paragraph means____
A. praise B. laugh at C. speak loudly D. smile happily
55. The writer attacks the maths teacher strongly, but he asks_____.
A. teachers to treat the poor students as their own sons and daughters
B. all people collect money to support the special students
C. teachers to leave their love for the slower students
D. educational departments to fire those teachers who don’t care for the poor students

As students across the country have their yearly flu shots（打流感疫苗）, doctors across the world are preparing against a possible outbreak of bird flu that few current vaccines（疫苗）will guard against. The likelihood of a bird flu spreading among humans is very high, the World Health Organization warned recently. European countries worry about bird flu very much, since many migratory birds（候鸟）start to fly back from the North.
There are at least 15 different types of bird flu virus around the world. The possible outbreak may be caused by a virus known as H5N1. It was first found to have spread from a bird to a human in Hong Kong in 1997. In addition to Asia, this bird flu has been found among birds in Romania, Turkey, Russia and Kazakhstan.
The outbreak in 1997 in Hong Kong was quickly controlled at a cost of 18 people ill and six dead. About 1.5 million chickens were collected in an effort to remove the source of the virus. But scientists say that the virus can change itself rapidly. Also, if the virus mixes with the human flu virus, it could be spread through person-to-person contact in the same way as ordinary human flu is spread. Bird flu can cause fever, coughing, sore throats and muscle aches in humans. With the introduction of vaccines, flu is not as deadly as it used to be. But throughout history it was a huge cause of death around the world. The outbreak of Spanish flu in 1918-19 killed about 40 to 50 million people worldwide.
Currently there is no vaccine against bird flu that can be used on humans. Scientists are working to develop one. This will probably take several months to complete and may not be ready in time to stop a widespread outbreak of the disease.

Love Creates Power
I don’t know how many good teachers there are in the world, but I feel it is deeply important for a student who is in trouble to meet a good teacher.
students when he gets a chance. For example, the teacher looks down upon a student due to her failure in math. It’s not that this student is stupid but rather she has no interest in math. The math teacher always gives the girl the cold shoulder and says this girl is the stupidest student he has ever seen. One time this student got the lowest score on a math exam, the teacher made fun of her and then let other students guess who had the worst score. When that student had some questions to ask the teacher, he was impatient with her.
Finally, the girl said to me that paradise is very far from her. Every day she feels Eden, but there is no way to reach it. She feels that she is a tiny lantern which is placed into the water and will slowly drift out to sea until it can’t be seen. What a lonely vision that is!
All students have different abilities because each of them is unique. No one can foretell（预示）their future. The teachers should learn how to treat the slower students properly, how to encourage them and not to hurt their feelings. Please leave a bit of love for these special students.
“It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving,” said Mother Terasa. After a ll, love can create power.
