UFO stands for "unidentified flying object". Many people reported having seen UFOs in the sky. A lot of countries tried to research into them and in 1952 they got the name of UFO.
There were several reports published in the 19th century which were related to UFOs. Denison Daily News in its report of 25th January, 1878 wrote that a farmer, Martin saw a flying object in the sky and it was just like a plate. This was the first time that the word "plate" had been related to the UFO.
First reports on UFOs came during World War Ⅱ. In 1947 the pilot Kenneth Arnold said while he was flying near the Mount Rainier he saw a very bright object in the sky. He told that it was like a plate, too. The information given by Kenneth got lots of attention from the media and people.
Several research organizations gave their reports on UFOs. They showed direct or indirect physical evidence of UFOs, and sometimes UFOs' appearance was found in the radar(雷达) screen. Many people try to take videotapes or photos of UFOs as proof. Most UFOs are in plate shape while some UFOs are like cigarettes or half balls.
Many films and TV shows are made about UFOs. There are two famous movies which are created on the topic of UFOs and aliens(外星人), War of the World and Star Wars. UFOs have created a new field in science which is known as Ufology(飞碟学).
1.What does the underlined word "proof" in the fourth paragraph mean
A.Research. B.Evidence. C.Appearance. D.Exhibition.
2.The next paragraph following the passage probably talks about __________.
A.the introduction of UFOs' shapes B.famous movies on UFOs
C.the new science — Ufology D.effects of UFOs on humans
3.This passage mainly tells us ___________.
A.how to discover UFOs B.who discovered UFOs

You're sitting in class and your stomach is starting to rumble(咕咕叫). Finally, the bell rings and it's time for lunch! After class, you should have a chance to go to the dining room and sit down,relax,and enjoy the time with your friends over a lunchtime meal. But wait a minute —what exactly are you eating
When choosing what to eat for lunch,making a healthy choice is really important. Eating various healthy foods gives you energy to study,helps you grow the way you should,and can even keep you from getting sick. Think of your school lunch as the fuel(燃料) you put in your car. If you choose the wrong kind of fuel, you might run out of energy before the day is over.
Most kids have the choice of packing lunch or buying one at school. The good news is that a kid can get a healthy lunch in either way. Probably, some meals and foods served at school are healthier than others. That doesn't mean you shouldn't buy your lunch. It just means you might want to give the menu a closer look.
A packed lunch isn't always healthier than one you buy at school. If you pack chocolate cake and potato chips,that's not a healthy meal! But a packed lunch,if you do it right, does have a clear advantage. When packing your lunch,you can be sure it includes your favourite healthy foods. If your favourite sandwich is peanut butter and banana,just make it and pack it—then you can eat it for lunch.
If you want to pack your lunch,you'll need some help from your parents. Talk to them about what you like in your lunch so they can stock up on those foods. Parents might offer to pack your lunch for you. It is nice of them,but you may want to watch how they do it and ask if you can start making your lunches yourself. It's a way to show that you're growing up.
1.Why does the writer compare our stomach to a car
A.To explain the importance of healthy food.
B.To prove that a lot of things can be put into a car.
C.To describe the relationship between a car and its fuel.
D.To show that lunch is as important as the fuel in a car.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 3 mainly
A.We can have many choices for lunch.
B.We can only get a healthy lunch by buying one at school.
C.We should not choose meals served in our schools.
D.We should look at the menu carefully before buying our lunch.
3.What can we learn about packed lunch
A.It's cheaper than other types of lunch.
B.It s better than the one bought at school.
C.It can be satisfying if the food is chosen properly.
D.Most people like junk food as their lunch.
4.In the last paragraph,what does the author advise kids to do
A.Stock up on what they like.
B.Pack the lunch by themselves.
C.Watch their parents cook lunch.
D.Pack the lunch for their parents.
C
After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations—major food sources (来源) for the wolf—grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes, and completely drove away the park's beavers.
As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.
1.What is the text mainly about
A.Wildlife research in the United States.
B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.
D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.
2.What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean
A.Tested. B.Separated. C.Forced out. D.Tracked down.
3.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about
A.Damage to local ecology. B.A decline in the park's income.
C.Preservation of vegetation. D.An increase in the variety of animals.
4.What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project
A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C.Disapproving. D.Uncaring.
D
Kung fu is one of the most popular topics of discussion among foreigners talking about China. As a discipline of kung fu with the largest number of practitioners in China, tai chi is gaining popularity worldwide. Tai chi is sweeping the world thanks to its deep cultural roots and the health benefits coming from practicing it.
The philosophy of tai chi features the concept of yin and yang, which is typical of Confucianism and Taoism. Tai chi also takes in ideas from traditional Chinese medicine, including anatomy(解剖学) and physiology. It is a practice that connects hardness with softness, and it is a perfect example of traditional Chinese culture.
Through lasting practice, learners begin to feel the positive impact(影响) of tai chi on their health. Unlike other kung fu practice that focuses on attacking and defending against enemies, tai chi focuses more on shaping good characters and keeping fit. By practicing tai chi, people will feel an improvement in their physical and psychological health by developing a balance between yin and yang within their bodies. This is similar to Western medicine's improving people's self-healing ability and immune system(免疫系统).
Tai chi is playing an important role in presenting Chinese culture to the rest of the world, acting like a bridge between China and other countries. Recent years have seen a lot of international communication on tai chi. In provinces like Hebei t Henan, Shanxi and Shaanxi, where tai chi teaching and learning are particularly active, local governments and non-governmental institutions often organize activities and competitions for learners and fans to attend and participate in. Large sporting events hosted by China such as the Asian Games and Olympics have featured tai chi performances or contests. These activities have opened a window for the outside world to know more about tai chi, paving the way for its overseas wide spread.
Today, tai chi not only belongs to China, but also to the whole world and to everyone who loves it.
1.Why is tai chi becoming popular around the world according to the passage
A.Chinese culture spreads quickly. B.Practicing it can prevent all illness.
C.It is easier to practice than other kung fu. D.It has deep cultural roots and health benefits.
2.What does tai chi represent
A.The ideas of Chinese medicine. B.The traditional Chinese culture.
C.The characteristic of yin and yang. D.A practice of hardness and softness.
3.According to Paragraph 3,tai chi practice is to __________.
A.restore people's immune system
B.help people keep healthy and get good characters
C.defend people's body from being attacked
D.improve people's self-healing ability
4.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A.Tai chi is China's best event in Asian Games.
B.Tai chi is active only in central China.
C.Tai chi furthers cross-culture communication.
D.Tai chi opens a window for people to know about the world.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David, mother May and elder brother Rob. The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature. The village was at the foot of a mountain, with beautiful views of the snowy mountain. The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees. Their life was totally surrounded by nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life, Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life. She wanted to shop, move around the city, watch movies, and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes, etc.
However, there was hardly any chance for Carol's family to move to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day, Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish. Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life was better than the city life.
She told Carol, "Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You can hardly find any trees. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city "
Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Grandmother granted her the wish, but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return to the village. Carol agreed.
Paragraph 1:
Carol then found herself in the city with her friends.

解析：1.主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句"... gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. " 和最后一段第一句"The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. "可知,文章主要介绍了黄石国家公园的灰狼消失后产生的影响以及当地政府重新引入灰狼的计划。故选D项。
2.词义猜测题。根据第二段可知,在黄石国家公园,灰狼曾经随处可见,但是到了20世纪20年代,由于人类活动频繁,灰狼基本消失,它们迁徙到了加拿大的森林深处,那里很少有人类活动。因此可推测灰狼因为人类的发展被迫离开。force out意为"赶出去",与displace意思相近,故选C项。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段可知,灰狼的消失带来了很多意料之外的后果,鹿和麋鹿的数量激增,它们消耗了大量的植被,破坏了公园里植物的多样性同时丛林狼的数量也迅速增长, 造成赤狐数量的减少和河狸的消失。因此灰狼的消失破坏了当地的生态,故选A项。

2.考查细节理解。根据文章第二段可知,太极拳以阴阳理念为特色,而阴阳理念是中国儒家及道家思想的典型代表,同时太极拳还含有中医理论。本段最后一句中的"it is a perfect example of traditional Chinese culture"告诉我们太极拳是中国传统文化的代表。故B项正确。
3.考查细节理解。根据文章第三段中的"Unlike other kung fu practice that focuses on attacking and defending against enemies, tai chi focuses more on shaping good characters and keeping fit"可知, 太极拳和其他注重攻击和保护自己的中国功夫不同,太极拳更关注塑造良好的性格并保持身体健康。故B项正确。
4.考查推理判断。根据第四、第五段内容可知,太极拳不仅属于中国,更属于全世界人民,太极拳让人们更了解中国,大大促进了跨文化交流。故C项正确。

解析：
本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过自己学英语的经历告诉大家:即使希望很渺茫,我们也要为了自己的目标努力奋斗。
1. to realize【解题思路】考査非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,这里要用动词不定式作目的状语。try one's best to do sth."尽某人最大的努力做某事"。故填to realize。
2. efforts【解题思路】考査名词复数。此处effort意为"艰难的尝试,尽力",是可数名词,且根据空后的谓语动词seem可知,这里要用名词的复数形式。
3. a【解题思路】考查冠词。这里表示泛指shy的发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词。

After class, you should have a chance to go to the dining room and sit down,relax,and enjoy the time with your friends over a lunchtime meal. But wait a minute —what exactly are you eating
When choosing what to eat for lunch,making a healthy choice is really important. Eating various healthy foods gives you energy to study,helps you grow the way you should,and can even keep you from getting sick. Think of your school lunch as the fuel(燃料) you put in your car. If you choose the wrong kind of fuel, you might run out of energy before the day is over.
Most kids have the choice of packing lunch or buying one at school. The good news is that a kid can get a healthy lunch in either way. Probably, some meals and foods served at school are healthier than others. That doesn't mean you shouldn't buy your lunch. It just means you might want to give the menu a closer look.
A packed lunch isn't always healthier than one you buy at school. If you pack chocolate cake and potato chips,that's not a healthy meal! But a packed lunch,if you do it right, does have a clear advantage. When packing your lunch,you can be sure it includes your favourite healthy foods. If your favourite sandwich is peanut butter and banana,just make it and pack it—then you can eat it for lunch.
If you want to pack your lunch,you'll need some help from your parents. Talk to them about what you like in your lunch so they can stock up on those foods. Parents might offer to pack your lunch for you. It is nice of them,but you may want to watch how they do it and ask if you can start making your lunches yourself. It's a way to show that you're growing up.
1.Why does the writer compare our stomach to a car
A.To explain the importance of healthy food.
B.To prove that a lot of things can be put into a car.
C.To describe the relationship between a car and its fuel.
D.To show that lunch is as important as the fuel in a car.

A.We can have many choices for lunch.
B.We can only get a healthy lunch by buying one at school.
C.We should not choose meals served in our schools.
D.We should look at the menu carefully before buying our lunch.

B.It s better than the one bought at school.

After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations—major food sources (来源) for the wolf—grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes, and completely drove away the park's beavers.
As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.
1.What is the text mainly about
A.Wildlife research in the United States.
B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.
D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.
2.What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean
A.Tested. B.Separated. C.Forced out. D.Tracked down.
3.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about
A.Damage to local ecology. B.A decline in the park's income.
C.Preservation of vegetation. D.An increase in the variety of animals.
4.What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project
A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C.Disapproving. D.Uncaring.
D
Kung fu is one of the most popular topics of discussion among foreigners talking about China. As a discipline of kung fu with the largest number of practitioners in China, tai chi is gaining popularity worldwide. Tai chi is sweeping the world thanks to its deep cultural roots and the health benefits coming from practicing it.
The philosophy of tai chi features the concept of yin and yang, which is typical of Confucianism and Taoism. Tai chi also takes in ideas from traditional Chinese medicine, including anatomy(解剖学) and physiology. It is a practice that connects hardness with softness, and it is a perfect example of traditional Chinese culture.
Through lasting practice, learners begin to feel the positive impact(影响) of tai chi on their health. Unlike other kung fu practice that focuses on attacking and defending against enemies, tai chi focuses more on shaping good characters and keeping fit. By practicing tai chi, people will feel an improvement in their physical and psychological health by developing a balance between yin and yang within their bodies. This is similar to Western medicine's improving people's self-healing ability and immune system(免疫系统).
Tai chi is playing an important role in presenting Chinese culture to the rest of the world, acting like a bridge between China and other countries. Recent years have seen a lot of international communication on tai chi. In provinces like Hebei t Henan, Shanxi and Shaanxi, where tai chi teaching and learning are particularly active, local governments and non-governmental institutions often organize activities and competitions for learners and fans to attend and participate in. Large sporting events hosted by China such as the Asian Games and Olympics have featured tai chi performances or contests. These activities have opened a window for the outside world to know more about tai chi, paving the way for its overseas wide spread.
Today, tai chi not only belongs to China, but also to the whole world and to everyone who loves it.
1.Why is tai chi becoming popular around the world according to the passage
A.Chinese culture spreads quickly. B.Practicing it can prevent all illness.
C.It is easier to practice than other kung fu. D.It has deep cultural roots and health benefits.
2.What does tai chi represent
A.The ideas of Chinese medicine. B.The traditional Chinese culture.
C.The characteristic of yin and yang. D.A practice of hardness and softness.
3.According to Paragraph 3,tai chi practice is to __________.
A.restore people's immune system
B.help people keep healthy and get good characters
C.defend people's body from being attacked
D.improve people's self-healing ability
4.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David, mother May and elder brother Rob. The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature. The village was at the foot of a mountain, with beautiful views of the snowy mountain. The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees. Their life was totally surrounded by nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life, Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life. She wanted to shop, move around the city, watch movies, and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes, etc.
However, there was hardly any chance for Carol's family to move to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day, Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish. Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life was better than the city life.
She told Carol, "Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You can hardly find any trees. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city "
Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Grandmother granted her the wish, but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return to the village. Carol agreed.
Paragraph 1:
Carol then found herself in the city with her friends.

解析：1.主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句"... gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. " 和最后一段第一句"The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. "可知,文章主要介绍了黄石国家公园的灰狼消失后产生的影响以及当地政府重新引入灰狼的计划。故选D项。
2.词义猜测题。根据第二段可知,在黄石国家公园,灰狼曾经随处可见,但是到了20世纪20年代,由于人类活动频繁,灰狼基本消失,它们迁徙到了加拿大的森林深处,那里很少有人类活动。因此可推测灰狼因为人类的发展被迫离开。force out意为"赶出去",与displace意思相近,故选C项。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段可知,灰狼的消失带来了很多意料之外的后果,鹿和麋鹿的数量激增,它们消耗了大量的植被,破坏了公园里植物的多样性同时丛林狼的数量也迅速增长, 造成赤狐数量的减少和河狸的消失。因此灰狼的消失破坏了当地的生态,故选A项。

D
答案：1.D; 2.B; 3.B; 4.C

2.考查细节理解。根据文章第二段可知,太极拳以阴阳理念为特色,而阴阳理念是中国儒家及道家思想的典型代表,同时太极拳还含有中医理论。本段最后一句中的"it is a perfect example of traditional Chinese culture"告诉我们太极拳是中国传统文化的代表。故B项正确。
3.考查细节理解。根据文章第三段中的"Unlike other kung fu practice that focuses on attacking and defending against enemies, tai chi focuses more on shaping good characters and keeping fit"可知, 太极拳和其他注重攻击和保护自己的中国功夫不同,太极拳更关注塑造良好的性格并保持身体健康。故B项正确。
4.考查推理判断。根据第四、第五段内容可知,太极拳不仅属于中国,更属于全世界人民,太极拳让人们更了解中国,大大促进了跨文化交流。故C项正确。

第二节
答案：1. to realize2. efforts3. a4. spoken/speaking5. changed6. interesting7. to8. it9. fluently10. confidence
解析：
本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过自己学英语的经历告诉大家:即使希望很渺茫,我们也要为了自己的目标努力奋斗。
1. to realize【解题思路】考査非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,这里要用动词不定式作目的状语。try one's best to do sth."尽某人最大的努力做某事"。故填to realize。
2. efforts【解题思路】考査名词复数。此处effort意为"艰难的尝试,尽力",是可数名词,且根据空后的谓语动词seem可知,这里要用名词的复数形式。
3. a【解题思路】考查冠词。这里表示泛指shy的发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词。
4. spoken/speaking【解题思路】 考査词形转换/非谓语动词。 spoken English"口语",为固定用法。也可填speaking,表示不擅长说英语。

9. fluently【解题思路】考查副词。空处修饰动词talk应该用副词。 故填fluently。
10. confidence 【解题思路】考查名词。have confidence to do sth."有信心做某事"。

第二节
答案：One possible version
Paragraph 1:
Carol then found herself in the city with her friends. Carol and her friends went to watch movies. After that they ate delicious food in a restaurant and shopped in a huge mall. Carol was happy that she had the chance to experience the life in the city. Yet at the same time, she understood that everything told by her grandmother was true in the city. There was no peace and no silence; the city life was fast and rushing. The air quality was not satisfying. She could hardly find any animal or even a tree.
Paragraph 2:
Carols brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up. She recalled what happened just now in her dream and realized that her life in the village with her family was far more wonderful than the city life. Carol understood that she was having a more joyful life. She shared her dream with her family while enjoying the fresh fruits and vegetables, and they laughed together. Carol also developed love for plants, animals and beautiful nature.
