AThere are many unsolved mysteries in life even though science，technology，and research The BermudaTriangle (百慕大三角区)Located in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean，the Bermuda Triangle is a looselydefined (宽松定义的) area.There a number of planes and ships are said to have disappeared.Pilots say their instruments can't work there.With explanations from gas bubbles (气泡) to aliens，no one is sure what is behind the strange thing.The Loch NessMonster (尼斯湖水怪)For ages, people have been hearing about the Loch Ness Monster.Over the years photos and videos of actual footprints have been checked and watched over and over again to find out if it could be a sea snake or a dinosaur (恐龙).Even today, it may still exist and swim under thewaters.Nazca Geoglyphs (纳斯卡地面)Nazca Geoglyphs are located in southern Peru and cover about 170 square miles.There are numbers of things from the natural world to the human imagination such as spiders，monkeys，sharks，flowers and so on.But the exact meanings of many of the geoglyphs remainunknown.(B)21.The Bermuda Triangle is ________ the North Atlantic Ocean.A．in the east of B．in the west ofC．to the west of D．to the east of(C)22.People check the photos and videos of the Loch Ness Monster repeatedly because ________.A．the monster is very beautifulB．they are interested in the living thingC．they want to know what it is actuallyD．the monster will disappear soon(D)23.Nazca Geoglyphs have an area of about ________ square miles.A．150B．1，500C．1，700D．170(D)24.What can we learn about Nazca Geoglyphs?A．Ships get lost there from time to time.B．There used to be large numbers of aliens.C．The instruments of the planes can't work there.D．People don't know the true meanings of some geoglyphs.(B)25.Which of the following is TRUE according to the reading?A．The Loch Ness Monster must be a special dinosaur.B．Nazca Geoglyphs include pictures of some animals.C．There will be more and more unsolved mysteries in the future.D．People have found a reasonable explanation of the lost ships.BAs one of the oldest castles in Ireland，Blarney Castle (布拉尼城堡) was built in 1446.It's so fantastic that more than 450，000 visitors come to visit it every year.When we talk about Blarney Castle，we must mention the magic Blarney Stone.It was built into the wall at the top of Blarney Castle.The tradition of kissing the Blarney Stone dates back more than 200 years.It's said that if you kiss the stone，you will get the gift of great speaking skills.So，it's not only an excellent place for a visit but a true window into the Irish culture.However，it's never easy to get that gift.To kiss the Blarney Stone，one must lie on his back and hang upside down while holding onto the metal bars (棒).For visitors' safety，a worker from Blarney Castle is there to help those kissing the stone.Though there is no recorded history about the origins (来源) of the stone，there is an interesting story.Some people believe that the stone was brought over from the Holy Land.After the owner of the castle saved a witch (女巫) from a nearby lake，she was so thankful that she gave the stone to him as a gift.She told him that if he kissed it，he would become good at speaking.We'll never know for sure whether the story is true or not，but it does add to the mystery and excite the interest of tourists from around the world.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

Let's enjoy the following unsolved mysteries.Located in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, theBermuda Triangle is a loosely-defined area. There a number ofplants and ships are said to have disappeared. Pilots say theirinstruments can't work there. With explanations from gas bubblesto aliens, no one is sure what is behind the strange thing.(续表)For ages, people have been hearing about the Loch NessMonster. Over the years, photos and videos of actual footprintshave been checked and watched over and over again to find outif it could be a sea snake or a dinosaur. Even today, it may stillexist and swim under the waters.Nazca Geoglyphs are located in southern Peru and cover about170 square miles. There are numbers of things from the naturalworld to the human imagination such as spiders, monkeys,sharks, flowers and so on. But the exact meanings of many of the geoglyphs remain unknown.56. The Bermuda Triangle is ____ the North Atlantic Ocean.A. in the east ofB. in the west ofC. in the north ofD. in the south of57. People check the photos and videos of the Loch Ness Monster repeatedly because____.A. the monster is very beautifulB. they are interested in the living thingC. they want to know what it is actuallyD. the monster will disappear soon58. What can we learn about Nazca Geoglyphs?A. Ships get lost there from time to time.B. There used to be large numbers of aliens.C. The instruments of the planes can't work there.D. People don't know the true meanings of many geoglyphs.BCrop circles (麦田怪圈) are strange patterns that appear mysteriously overnight in farmers' fields. The circles were mostly found in the United Kingdom but have spread to many countries around the world in the past years. The mystery has inspired (启发) many books, blogs, fan groups, researchers and even films.Some people think that the first crop circles appeared near the small town of Tully, Australia. In 1966, a farmer said he saw a flying saucer (飞碟) rise up from a field and fly away. When he went closer, he saw a circular area.In fact, the first real crop circles didn't appear until the 1970s. The number of circles increased dramatically (显著地) in the 1980s and 1990s.In July 1996, one of the world's most complex (复杂的) crop circles appeared in England. It was called Julia Set. While some simple circles might be explained by strange weather, this one showed intelligence(智慧).It was said that Julia Set appeared in less than an hour during the daytime and it made the circles more mysterious. If this was true, it would be impossible for people to create the circles. The circles became one of the most famous and important circles in history.There are many opinions about what creates crop circles, including aliens, time travelers, wind and so on. But there is no good evidence (证据) for any of them. Perhaps one day, a mysterious, unknown source will be discovered by humans, butuntil then, perhaps crop circles are best thought of as the art of nature.59. What are crop circles according to the passage?A. Huge rice fields.B. Strange patterns in fields.C. Big circles.D. Strange fields.60. Why does the writer say it was impossible for people to create Julia Set?A. Because the circles appeared quickly during the daytime.B. Because people didn't have enough energy to create the circles.C. Because people couldn't enter the places where the circles appeared.D. Because the circles were too complex for people to create.61. What can we learn from the passage?A. Some fan groups wrote some books about crop circles.B. Crop circles have always been found by farmers.C. There is no good evidence to explain how crop circles were created.D. People will be unable to find out what created crop circles.62. What is the best title for the passage?A. What Created Crop CirclesB. The Power of WeatherC. The Crop Circle MysteryD. The History of Crop CirclesCMy name is Li Hanlin. I was born in Guangzhou but I grew up in Shanghai. I love Shanghai and know it very well. Now let me tell you about the culture of Shanghai.In the 1900s, Shanghai was the symbol of fashion in China. In the 1930s and 1940s, it became a rich and great city. In the 1950s, Nanjing Road in Shanghai became famous all over China because it was quite busy. After 1978, Shanghai became the city of China's pop culture. Today, it is the leader of fashion. Because of this, Shanghai is a popular city for women around the world.Shanghai is the birthplace of the Communist Party of China. In Shanghai, you can visit the old houses where the heroes ever lived.Where on earth is the sea in Shanghai? Now let's know about the secret by exploring (探索) the Donghai Bridge. The Donghai Bridge is an important part of the Shanghai International Shipping Center. It starts at Luchao Port(港口) of Shanghai and it ends at Lesser Yangshan Island of Zhejiang Province.The Donghai Bridge is over 32 kilometers, including a 3. 7-kilometer long land section(部分), a 25. 3-kilometer long sea section and a 3. 5-kilometer long linking section of the port and the bridge. Standing on the Donghai Bridge, you can enjoy the beauty of the sea merging into (并入) the sky.63. From the first paragraph, we can know ____.A. Li Hanlin was born in ShanghaiB. Li Hanlin grew up in ShanghaiC. Li Hanlin knows Shanghai a littleD. Li Hanlin always lives in Guangzhou64. Nanjing Road in Shanghai became famous ____.A. in the 1930sB. in the 1940sC. in the 1950sD. in the 1970s65. What can we learn from the passage?A. The Donghai Bridge starts in Shanghai and ends in Jiangsu Province.B. Shanghai is the birthplace of the Chinese Army and the Communist Party ofChina.C. Shanghai is an important and modern city in both China and the world.D. Shanghai became the city of China's pop culture two centuries ago.DOnce there was a man living with his wife and children in a small house. There was always noise in his house as his children played, laughed and sang. He could find no peace at all.The man couldn't stand living in this noisy house. So he decided to ask for advice from a wise old woman who lived down the road. He told her about hisproblem. The wise old woman quickly had an answer for him. “Go home and bring all of your farm animals indoors and let them live in your house. ”The man thought this was bad advice. But since the old woman was known far and wide for her wisdom, he agreed to do as she said. He went home and brought inside all of his farm animals.As you can imagine, the animals made all kinds of noises. The dogs barked. The sheep bleated. The chickens clucked and the cows mooed.The man could find no comfort, no peace, so he went back to the wise old woman. She had been expecting him. She listened to him patiently and then offered some new advice. “Go home and take a ll of the animals out of your home，” she said.The man was__confused. But as she was wise, he agreed to do what he was told.He returned to his house and drove all the animals outside. Then the house looked quite nice and it was quiet. It was that moment that the man felt his home was the most comfortable place in the world.66. What was the man's problem?A. His house was too small.B. It was too noisy in his house.C. He had no time to stay with his family.D. There were too many animals on his farm.67. As for the wise old woman's first piece of advice, the man ____.A. decided to try itB. understood it wellC. was sure it would be helpfulD. thought it was hard to follow68. What does the underlined words “was confused” probably mean?A. Felt excited.B. Didn't succeed.C. Felt sleepy.D. Didn't understand.69. What does the text mainly want to tell us?A. We should listen to others' advice.B. We should treat animals like humans.C. We should make changes if we are not happy.D. We should be thankful for what we already have.EMost scientists agree the Great Sphinx of Giza (吉萨狮身人面像) was built around 2，500 B. C. But John Anthony West says that it's much older. If he's right, “everything anybody has learned about ancient civilizations (文明) would have to be completely revised，” he told a magazine.West, a writer and film-maker, first got interested in ancient history after studying the work of a French researcher. The researcher said Egyptian civilization could have developed as early as about 30，000 years ago, rather than about 4，500 years ago, as most experts believe.West joined a scientific group to do research with them together. Their research suggested that the Sphinx had been worn down over the years by water, rather than by sand or wind. Wait a minute. Water? How could that be? The Sphinx is in the Sahara Desert, which has been dry for about 12，000 years! However, before that time, it was very green. If it's true that water wore down the Sphinx, West thinks that it must have been built centuries earlier.Whether West is right or wrong, it's important to challenge accepted ideas. That's how science progresses.West gave some advice to kids: If you are interested in a topic, read everything you can on it. Do your own research. Don't always believe everything your teachers tell you. Ask lots of questions, and find your own answers.70. What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The Sphinx.B. The water.C. The Sahara Desert.D. The plants.71. Most scientists believed Egyptian civilization developed about ____.A. 4，500 years agoB. 6，000 years agoC. 12，000 years agoD. 30，000 years ago72. Which of the following may the writer agree with?A. Different opinions can make science progress.B. Egyptian civilization should be richer than we thought.C. One shouldn't do any research before giving their opinions.D. Kids should ask lots of questions and believe what their teachers say.第二节:阅读下面的短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。

If so, is it a big bear? Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man? No one knows. This mystery has puzzled the world for years.In 1887, a mountain climber found large footsteps in the snow. They looked like the footsteps of a very large man. But men don't walk without shoes in the snow!In 1906, another climber saw more footsteps. He saw a very large animal standing on two legs. As he watched, it ran away very quickly. Fifteen years later, a newspaper had new stories about the "something". A mountain climber said he had seen the "snowman walk slowly in the snow. He said it looked like a very large man.From then on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountainclimber bring back the pictures of large footsteps. The pictures showed clearly that the snowman walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an apeman( 猿人)? And the mystery keeps growing. Some day, we may find out just what it is that makes the largest footsteps.26.The passage is about________.A. some mountain climbersB. some strange animalsC. the snowD. the mystery of the large footsteps27.

Why did the mystery grow when a mountain brought back the pictures of large footsteps?A. They were the footsteps of an apeman.B. They were the footsteps of a snowman.C. The pictures showed clearly how the snowman walked.D. People still don't know who made the footsteps.30. Which is the best title?A. SnowB. The large footstepsC. A big bearD. MonkeBWe moved into a beautiful two-story old house. The house was built in 1956. It wasrepaired in2003.At first, really small things began to happen. Theydidn't make me believe that something was wrong, but as time went on, things started becoming stranger and stranger. Early something was missing, and later on it would be found somewhere else. I just thought I had forgotten where I put it, or perhaps my daughter was playing around with things. Then later on I would hear strange sounds when nobody was at home but me. Yet it was an old house, and sometimes old houses did make little noise, so again, I didn't really mind.Then things that I couldnt explain started happening. It was last November and I was at home alone cleaning the house. When I was sweeping the kitchen floor, I felt a very cold wind blowing my hair. I thought the kitchen window must have been opened, but when I checked it, it was closed. The windows were new, and there was no way any cold air came in.We all felt very strange and moved away from there in October, 2014. I was never really frightened. It was just strange, like something or someone was trying to get my attention or something.31. The house is_______ years old.A. about 97B. over 100C. over 200D. about 6332.

The first reason is time.Scientists believe the universe is a bout 12 billion years old.“This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life，” say Shostak and Barnett.The second reason is size—the universe is huge.“Tools like the Hubble Telescope(哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies，” says Shostak.“And our galaxy，the Milky Way，has at least 100 billion stars.Some planets going around these stars might be similar to the Earth.”In the past，it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe.But now，powerful telescopes(高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or the Earth—in other solar systems.These planets might have intelligent life.Have beings from space already visited the Earth? “Probably not，” says Shostak.“It's a long way away.However，intelligent beings may contact us in other ways，such as radio signals(信号)．In fact，they may be trying to communicate with us now，but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages.However，this is changing.By 2025，we could make contact with other life__forms in our universe and we might help each other.”56．Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are ________.A．astronomers B．farmersC．singers D．drivers57．What is the best title for Paragraph 2?A．The Age and Size of the EarthB．Our Galaxy: The Milky WayC．Why Intelligent Life Might ExistD．The Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life58．Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past?A．Because there were not any smaller planets.B．Because there were not any powerful telescopes.C．Because the astronomers were not interested in them.D．Because the Milky Way didn't exist at that time.59．Why haven't beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak?A．Because they're afraid of us.B．Because it's a long way away.C．Because they don't want to see us.D．Because they don't know how to use radio signals.60．What does the underlined phrase “life forms” in the last paragraph mean?A．Messages.
