One evening about 20 years ago, I watched a documentary about how, in 1947, a “flying saucer” had crashed in Roswell. Several people who had seen the crash were interviewed, including a nurse who said she had examined an alien who had been injured in the crash. At first, the people of Roswell were told that a flying saucer had crashed. Shortly afterwards they were told that it was not a flying saucer but a weather balloon. I decided that the only way I could learn the truth about flying saucers was to investigate (调查) them myself.
I have done a lot of research and although I still haven’t discovered the truth about Roswell, I have discovered the truth about hundreds of other UFOs. A lot of UFOs are actually army planes or weather balloons, while others turn out to be natural phenomena (现象) like planets or comets (彗星). By far the largest number of UFOs turn out to be so-called “fireball” meteors—slow-moving meteors that can take up to a minute to travel across the night sky.
When I’m investigating a UFO report, I arrange to meet the person at the place where they have seen the flying saucer. I like to interview a witness at the scene and then take photographs of the area. Then I speak to my contacts at local military (军事的) bases and weather station, and then check the witness’ details against my information.
In about 95% of the cases I’ve dealt with, the “flying saucers” turn out to be weather balloons, planes or natural phenomena. That still leaves 5% of that, no matter what, just cannot be explained.
23. The writer says that UFOs ______.
A. always travel across the sky slowly
B. usually fly near natural phenomena
C. are always seen near weather balloons
D. often turn out to be a kind of meteor
24. What will the writer do if you think you have seen a flying saucer?
A. He’ll suggest that you contact a military base.
B. He’ll take a photograph of you for his records.
C. He’ll ask you to take a photograph of it for him.
D. He’ll me et you and ask you to describe what you saw.
25. When the writer investigates flying saucers, he ______ .
A. makes sure that someone has taken photos of them
B. gives the witness the names of people who can help
C. can’t find a proper explanation abo ut 5% of the cases
D. always tells the local weather station before he arrives
C
Considered as one of the English language’s most talented poets, John Keats wrote poems that focused on imagination, human nature, and life. Although Keats didn't receive much education on literature, his own studies and interests brought him much success. Also, his own life situation made a great difference to his poems.
Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn't attend a private school, but went to a public one. His mother was not well educated. His teachers
and his family’s friends considered him as a common boy who preferred playing and fighting much more to minding his studies. After his father’s death in the e arly 1800s, followed by his mother's because of tuberculosis(肺结核), he began seeing life differently. He wanted to keep away from the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.
At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying medical treatment so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary dream had taken too much of his life，especially with his love for the poems of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, named O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written another full poem, but was sharply criticized (批评) by a magazine. However, it didn’t stop his dream of poems．
John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story includes a farmer who falls in love with the moon and leads him to a trip of one boy's hope to deal with the limitations (限制) of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more story-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry because of his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” connected to his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would like to mix all that he learned together. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and finally take his life in 1821.
26. John Keats' thoughts about life changed because of __________ .
A. Edmund Spenser's poetry
B. the deaths of his parents
C. the criticism of a magazine
D. his early education from school
27. What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?
A. They received little education.
B. They went to a private school.
C. They died of the same disease.
D. They showed strong interest in poetry.
28. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.
B. The poem Hyperion wasn’t completed by Keats.
C. Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats’ time.
D. Keats’ family must have been very poor when he was young.
D
More than 50 music students at New Milford High School in New Jersey, US, got a letter from their headmaster. The letter said that the school’s music department was in big trouble. The students had to pass a test, or the department would be shut down.
On a Saturday, two officials greeted the nervous students. They asked the students to play a piece by Richard Strauss. But they had to sing the words to the music – German words!
Other tasks were also difficult. One s tudent had to sing Mary had a Little Lamb, a children’s song, in an operatic (歌剧的) voice.
After three hours of testing, students waited for the results. They met some students from the New Jersey Youth Orchestra (管弦乐团). The judges gave them a merely average grade.
The worried New Milford students started to realize they had no chance. “I thought it was over,” said Bryan Olsen-Santana, a junior. “The person next to me was crying. I felt bad for her. I felt bad for myself, too, because music is everything to me.”
But then the headmaster came and told them something very dramatic (戏剧性的): “Someone’s played a joke on you!”
What was going on?
The test was part of a reality TV show (电视真人秀) called “Schooled”. The students’ parents, the school and a TV network had arranged it together.
Everything was fake. The two “officials” were actually comedians (喜剧演员). The “students from New Jersey Youth Orchestra” were from another school.
There were hidden cameras. The students’ parents were hiding as they watched.
As a reward for putting up with the joke, the students got gifts: MP3 players, digital cameras and school supplies. They were all from the show’s sponsor (赞助商).
29. What is the letter about?
A. The headmaster would retire next semester.
B. The sc hool didn’t have money to run.
C. The music department was in big trouble.
D. The students had to give up music.
30. The students were nervous before the test, because______.
A. they were not good at music
B. the judges were very strict
C. they thought they couldn’t pass
D. it would decide the future of the music department
31. According to Olsen-Santana, we learn that______.
A. their school failed the test
B. he likes music very much
C. the test was just a joke
D. the girl next to him was sorry for herself
32. What does the underlined word “fake” mean in the passage?
A. 顺利的
B. 假装的
C. 受欢迎的
D. 便捷的

七、阅读表达（共3小题；53题1分,54题2分,55题3分，满分6分）
It is important to have good learning habits if you want to study，and this is especially true when it comes to online learning.
Online learning is a process different from what you will find in a traditional school. The learning environment and methods are different.
When studying in a classroom，there is a lot of communication between the students and the teacher, but little interaction(互动)among the students，while online learning helps one student and another to interact very seriously and closely. So one of an online teacher's roles is to encourage
students to interact. Another is to guide discussion，it isn't the same as teachers do in a classroom. So how can you develop good learning habits in online learning? Here are some good suggestions. First, it is a good idea to prepare well for online learning. You can write down daily tasks and even weekly tasks that you want to complete. By doing so，you will have a good plan for achieving your goals. Second，you should spend as much time online as if you were going to regular courses. Also，always try to leave extra time to communicate with other students. Besides this，any post(帖子)you put up online shows who you are. So hand in your homework on time so that you don't fall behind.
53. What is important if you want to study online?
______________________________________________________________________________ 54. What can an online teacher do according to the passage?
______________________________________________________________________________ 55. Do you like online learning? Why or why not?
