Strange events in the sky, such as speeding lights or flying objects, which cannot be explained are called UFOs. Some people believe they could be a sign of aliens.
Many people think there are intelligent life forms in the universe (宇宙) other than humans. However.millions of pounds have been spent searching for aliens and no one has found proof(证据). Some people think it is a waste of money and people's skills. So, is searching for alien s worth the money and effort Here are two different voices.

★ . There are many important problems here on Earth—— such as climate(气候) change. People should focus energy on these rather than searching the universe for alien s that might not even exist. Many people have spent lots of money trying to find signs of alien life and there is no result. Videos of flashing lights and strange objects in the sky might make good stories but in fact there is probably a reasonable explanations, such as a dirty mark on the camera lens(镜头).

六、综合填空(每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据上下文或括号内单词等提示,在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的适当形式。
In China, the year 2024 is known as long nian in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. Over a long period of time, it has been called the Year of the Dragon in English. But actually, there are a lot of differences 71 the Chinese long and the Western dragon.
The Chinese long is made up of 72 (part) of some gentle animals, such as a rabbit's eyes and an ox's ears.In Chinese mythology(神话), long is able to fly. In addition, it can also spray water from its mouth 73 (create)rain.
However, in Western culture, a dragon breathes fire and has the body of a snake and big wings of a bat. What's more, you will find most of the Western dragons in dark colors 74 they usually stand for evil(邪恶). As a result, 75 (normal) at the end of the stories, the evil dragon will be beaten by the superheroes.
What makes such differences In fact, they have something to do with the cultural differences. In Chinese Confucian(儒家的) ideas, kindness and harmony are very important. It is our duty to help each other and live a 76 (peace) life. Western culture, on the other hand, 77 (prefer) individual heroism. Whenever something terrible happens, there will be a superhero who is brave enough to stand out, fight against the enemy 78 his own.
In recent years, Chinese have tried to translate love s in another way. For example, Zhejiang's Loong Air 79 (write) long as Loong already. One of the reasons is that Loong sounds the same as the Chinese character long.Besides, the letters“oo” in the word Loong look like the two big eyes of the animal, which makes it 80 (easy) to memorize this word. Anyway, the Chinese long is a symbol of good luck.
Wish you and your family the best in the Year of Loong!

When our English Festival was coming,I tried my best to take part in a speech competition and gave a speech in front of all the students.It was such a big challenge for me because I was too shy to talk in public. I realized it was a good chance to overcome my shyness. I practiced my speech at home over and over again. I also asked my parents for help.
Thanks to my effort,I won the first prize.From this experience,I have learned that facing challenges is a good way to improve myself.As long as we face them bravely, we will get more than what we have expected and make great progress.
