A
It is sometimes said that strange flying objects have been seen high up in the sky. People call these strange objects Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). These UFOs caused a lot of interest. Some of the reports about them are difficult to believe. Some have been explained in scientific ways. Others have never been explained. Here is an account of UFOs from a report.
Dennis Burdens, who wrote an article, tells us that he once saw a UFO himself. He was having dinner one night with a friend near Tripoli, Libya, and after dinner the two men walked across a yard to his room to look at some papers. Burdens noticed that the moon looked strange that night.
“It wasn’t the moon,” was the reply.
They watched the light and saw that it was moving. It seemed to be an object rather like a big plate. In some ways it looked like smoke with a light on it, but it wasn’t smoke because it didn’t change its shape. It was moving in a regular way. That is to say, it didn’t go suddenly faster or more slowly, and it didn’t go higher or lower. So the two men decided that there must be men in it.
After that, Burdens said that he felt eyes looking at him. He was being watched in the darkness.
When it was nearer, they noticed that the bottom parts were brighter than the top. The bottom was yellow and the top red. Then the object suddenly turned away and left Libya, moving very fast.
On a later day Burdens talked to other people about it, and he found some who had seen it. They all described it in the same way. Could they all be mistaken?
56. Which of the following is WRONG about UFOs?
   A. UFOs are usually strange objects flying high up in the sky
B. All the reports about UFOs are difficult to explain in scientific ways.
   C. Some people are interested in UFOs.

   B. when Burdens and his friend were having dinner
   C. when Burdens was looking at some papers with his friend
   D. when Burdens and his friend saw the moving light.
  58. From the passage we can infer that __________.
     A. there must be men in the UFO operating it    B. it was difficult to tell the shape of UFO
   C. the UFO was moving in an irregular way     D. the UFO changed its colour all the time
59. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. UFOs are Unidentified Flying Objects.
B. People were talking about witnessing a UFO.
C. A UFO wanted to contact Burdens one night.
D. It is an account of UFO from a report.

The Golden Gate Bridge joins the beautiful city of san Francisco with the suburbs (郊区) to the north. Each day, about one hundred thousand cars cross the bridge, taking people to and from the city. More than half of them cross the bridge during the morning and evening rush hours, as a result, the trip is not pleasant.
Now, however, there is at least one group of happy commuters (经常往返者). These are the people who travel under the bridge instead of on it. They go to work by boat and enjoy it so much that most of them say they will never go by car again.
The boat they take is the large, quiet, comfortable “Golden Gate”. Commuters can enjoy the sun on the boat. In the morning they can have breakfast in the coffee shop, and in the evening they can have a drink in the bar while they are looking at San Francisco’s famous scene and the nearby hills.
The trip takes only thirty minutes and is not expensive. But best of all, being on a boat seems to make people feel more friendly towards each other. Two commuters who met on the “Golden Gate” have already got married.
Because the boat had been so successful, there are plans to use other, still larger boats. There is also a plan for a high-speed boat that will make the trip in only fifteen minutes. Not everyone is happy about that. “A lot of people don’t want to get the trip faster,” said one commuter, “They feel that an hour is just enough time to rest.”
63. Over __________ cross the Golden Gate Bridge during rush hours every day.
A. 100,000 people                B. 50,000 people
C. 100,000 cars                  D. 50,000 cars
64. Which of the following is not the advantage of taking a boat? 
   A. Going to work by boat doesn’t cost too much.
   B. By taking a boat, they can enjoy the beautiful scene of the city.
C. It takes fifteen minutes for people to go to work by boat.
D. People can make friends during the trip.
65. In the future, __________.
   A. larger boats will be used to carry commuters
   B. a big coffee shop will be built
   C. more and more people will get married on the boat
   D. people will all go to work by boat
66. Many people don’t like the new idea for a high-speed boat because _________.
   A. they don’t want to go to work earlier
   B. they like to stay on the boat
   C. they won’t have enough time to rest
   D. there will be more people on the boat
D
    I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
    Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, she said, “is for Elizabeth”.
    I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
    They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”(感情易激动的). But she lived “on the surface (表面)”
    As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive (原谅) me.
    I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
    My hope turned to disappointment (失望), then little interest, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
    Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside—a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded (折叠) and refolded many times.
    Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
67. The passage shows that__________.
   A. Mother wrote her daughter in careful words
   B. Mother cared much about her daughter in words
   C. Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
   D. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
68. The word “gulf” in the passage means________.
   A. part of the sea going far in land
   B. free talks between mother and daughter
   C. different ideas between the mother and the daughter
   D. deep understanding between the old and the young
69. What did Mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?
   A. She had never received the letter.
   B. She read the letter again and again till she died.
   C. For years, she often talked about the letter.
D. She didn’t forgive her daughter although seeing it.
70. What’s the best title of the passage?
   A. My letter to Mother                B. Mother and Children
   C. My Mother’s Desk                 D. Talks between Mother and Me

Studying Abroad
Nowadays, studying abroad gains popularity in China. Many rich parents would rather send their children abroad to receive education than let them be educated in China.
As every coin has two sides, studying abroad is not an exception. There are advantages for people to attend school abroad. In the first place, he can use the foreign language in his daily life so that his ability in the second language may be greatly improved, as it is obvious that there is no better chance to improve second-language than living in the country where it is spoken. While studying in a foreign country, he will most likely meet many others from overseas and it is possible to make friends from all over the world. This is not only exciting on the social level, but could lead to important overseas contacts in his career as well. He can get familiar with the latest knowledge in science and make use of the first-rate facilities (设备) available. In this way, there is every chance that he is able to widen his horizon (眼界) and broaden his mind.
     Of course, attending schools abroad may bring about a series of problems. The most serious problem is language barrier (障碍). Most of the students who go abroad don’t have enough skills in the language spoken there. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the teachers say. Besides, for lack of knowledge of the customs of the local people, they may constantly run into trouble in dealing with various situations.
Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider both sides of the factors carefully before making up his mind.
