“Look! Here come UFOs! ” At
around 8 p. m. , July 26, 2010, a
citizen called Lu Shan spotted this
special phenomenon in Leshan,
Sichuan: three unidentified(未确认的) and bright objects appeared in the sky above “Jade International” building, and then disappeared all together after 10 more minutes.
The phenomenon caught a lot of attention of some experts and Leshan citizens. On August 3, Professor Wang Sichao from the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said, the objects still need to be identified. Luckily, Lu Shan took some photos of it. He described, the objects first lit up the sky in the west, but lasted for about 10 minutes. Then they moved slowly at a speed of one meter per minute to the north, and became smaller and smaller until they disappeared. “It was like a sunset before they faded, and their light also became so gentle as the sunset. ”
Some citizens doubted they were UFOs, but Lu Shan thought it was possibly caused by the refraction(折射) of the sunlight. However, Lu found no scientific proof to support this special phenomenon after comparing with his photos.
According to Professor Wang Sichao, it could be the “sun dog(幻日)” which is an atmospheric phenomenon that creates bright spots of light in the sky, often in a bright ring or halo on either side of the sun. But he also added the sky above Leshan city that night did not satisfy the conditions to have “sun dog”. “Sun dog” usually happens in cold areas, such as the north and south poles of the earth. “So this phenomenon was strange, ” said Wang Sichao. Wang also stated he was only able to confirm the identity of the objects after collecting and analyzing more information and photos snapped(拍照) from different locations and then decide on a more scientific explanation.
1. What is the text mainly about
A. What is “sun dog”？
B. Wang Sichao discovered three suns.
C. Three suns shine in Leshan, Sichuan.
D. Lu Shan found three sun dogs in Leshan.
【解析】选C。主旨大意题。2010年7月26日晚上8点左右，乐山市民卢山在“翡翠国际”大厦的上空看到了3个酷似太阳的不明发光体，将天际照得通亮，持续10多分钟后才集体消失。因此“Three suns shine in Leshan, Sichuan”既醒目又使内容具体化。D项中的“sun dog”是个学术名词，指一种天文现象，故D项内容表述不正确。
2. According to this passage, who took some photos of the three suns
A. Wang Sichao.
B. Some citizens of Leshan.
C. Not mentioned in the passage.
D. Lu Shan.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“Luckily, Lu Shan took some photos of it. ”可知D项正确。
3. Which of the following descriptions of the three suns in Leshan is NOT true
A. They first lit up the sky and lasted for about 10 minutes.
B. At first they gave off the same bright light as the real sun.
C. They became smaller and smaller until they disappeared.
D. Their light also became so gentle as the sunset.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第二段市民卢山对所看到的三个太阳出现的全过程的描述便知A、C、D正确。
4. The underlined word “halo” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____ .
A. 斑点，污点 B. 区域，面积
C. 光环，光轮 D. 曲线，弓形
【解析】选C。词义猜测题。根据句中关键词“or”可知halo与ring是并列、意义相近关系。再结合句意“幻日经常以整个光环或仅一边有光环出现”，即选C。
5. From the last paragraph, we can learn that _____ .
A. there has been no clear answer to this special phenomenon in Leshan
B. the three suns are the “sun dog”
C. there must be three suns in the universe
D. “sun dog” usually happens in hot areas
【解析】选A。推理判断题。该段中紫金山天文台王思潮教授谈到可能是幻日，但是由于乐山的那天夜晚不符合幻日产生的条件, 他需要搜集有关信息及不同角度的照片作进一步的分析，通过确认它们的相似性来给出更加科学的解释。由此推断，迄今还没有明确的解释。

Steven Felton is a man with
a mission（任务）. He gave
up his job to follow his childhood
dream—finding the Loch Ness
monster（尼斯湖水怪）.
Mr. Felton, aged 34, left his home in southwest England to live by the loch（湖）in the Scottish highlands. Now he is Britain’s only professional monster-hunter, endlessly driving his car up and down the 38-kilometre shoreline of the loch.
He keeps himself going by selling clay Loch Ness models to tourists. He photographs and films the loch and takes echo soundings in the hope of finding some evidence of the existence of the “animal”, a name he gave the Loch Ness monster.
Mr. Felton says that one sighting of an unexplained “disturbance” on the water by himself plus a large collection of other sightings by other people has led him to believe that there are 20 to 30 Loch Ness monsters. He is certain that the “animal” is about the size of a minibus and has a back shape like an upturned boat.
His faith in the monster’s existence goes back to his childhood when his family took him on a picnic to the loch at the age of seven. “I got hooked（迷住）on the Loch Ness monster as a kid, and I still find it fascinating that in the British Isles, which is all completely mapped out and about which we know almost everything, there is still a mystery unexplained. ”
Since he arrived in Scotland six years ago, the stories he has collected, together with information from the occasional visiting scientific research team have made him believe in the existence of the “animal”. “The scientists often say they have found something, but nothing conclusive. But it all adds a little each time, ”he said.
His family are quite proud of his great interest in the Loch Ness monster. Asked if he ever feels lonely, Mr. Felton emphasizes, “I know I am in the place where I want to be. ”His search has made him popular with some of the people who live around the loch. When he is not out monster-hunting, he usually reads science fiction books.
6. How does Felton support himself in the Scottish highlands
A. He receives money from a university for his research.
B. He makes films about the Loch Ness monster for TV.
C. He sells clay models of the Loch Ness monster to visitors.
D. He is employed by the government to hunt the Loch Ness monster.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。从第三段第一句“He keeps himself going by selling clay Loch Ness models to tourists. ”可知。
7. Felton’s belief that there are many Loch Ness monsters is based on _____ .
A. other people’s opinions about monsters
B. echo soundings he has taken at Loch Ness
C. a number of sightings made by himself and other people
D. the photos of the monster he has taken over the years
【解析】选C。细节理解题。从第四段第一句可知，他自己目睹过一次水怪以及其他人多次目击过，使他相信有许多水怪。
8. Mr. Felton believes that the research on the Loch Ness monster _____ .
A. is slowly proving that the monster exists
B. definitely proves the existence of the monster
C. casts more doubts on the existence of the monster
D. does not help people better understand the monster
【解析】选A。推理判断题。Felton来到苏格兰进行关于水怪的调查研究已有六年的时间，他收集的证据使他相信水怪的存在，现在他仍在寻找证据，由此可知，Felton认为他的研究会慢慢地证实水怪的存在。
9. Which of the following would be the best title for this story
A. A Mystery Explained
B. A Mad Man and His Monster
C. The Man Who Searches For a Monster
D. The Loch Ness Monster—Found at Last
