AAt 2：30 on December 5, 1945, five US Navy training planes took off in clear weather from the base Lauderdale, Florida. The planes flew east over the coast... and disappeared. The group was Flight 19, on a run between Florida and Bahamas. Tailor was the group leader. At about 3: 40, Tailor reported that his compasses were not reading properly. The other planes followed their leaders aimlessly，first east, then west, then northeast over the ocean, as Tailor tried to make sure of the direction by radio. Then, suddenly Tailor was heard to give orders to dive...Quickly, two giant Martin seaplanes were sent up to search for Flight 19. Several hours later，the wind became strong and visibility(能见度) dropped. A return to base was ordered. But only one of the Martin seaplanes landed. Four days later, the Navy and Coast Guard combed a 100,000 square miles area with more than 100 planes and ships. No sign was ever shown of the missing planes.Today, people have noted the disappearance of many ships and planes in the southwest part of the North Atlantic and began to call this area the Bermuda Triangle(百慕大三角区)．The points of the triangle are Bermuda, Puerto Rico and a spot in the Gulf of Mexico, west of Florida. It is a two－faced water world of tiny islands, bright beaches and beautiful waters. Yet thick fogs, powerful currents (激流) and sudden storms are hidden behind this smiling surface.21．Why did Flight 19 disappear?A．Because the wind became strong and visibility dropped.B．Because Tailor was given wrong orders to dive.C．Because Tailor couldn't read his compasses correctly.D．Because something unknown made the compasses unable to work as usual.答案：D 根据第一段中的“At about 340，Tailor reported that his compasses werenot reading properly.”可知选D项。

22．In what position did Flight 19 disappear?A．In the southwest part of the North Atlantic Ocean.B．In the northeast part of the North Atlantic Ocean.C．To the southwest part of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean.D．To the northeast part of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean.答案：A 细节理解题。

根据第三段可知：今天，我们已经记录了很多船只和飞机在北大西洋西南部的百慕大失踪。

BThe sun is setting on a summer night. At the entrance to a deep, dark cave, a few bats fly out. Then more and more of the small, furry creatures appear. Within a few minutes，a whole river of bats are pouring out of the cave, and they keep coming millions and millions of them.Sound like a scary horror movie? Believe it or not, this scene takes place every night, all summer long, at Bracken Cave in Texas, where 20 million bats fly outside to feed on insects.Every March or April, Mexican free­tailed bats migrate up to 1609 kilometers from their winter home places, like mines, tunnels, hollow trees, and under bridges in Mexico to this cave. Soon after they arrive, each mother gives birth to one babybat. As many as 500 baby bats live crammed (挤)into one square foot of space, and those bodies create nice warm temperatures to keep them warm and comfortable. With bad sight, how can mother bats recognize their own babies? Their good sense of smell helps them the most.When the adult bats leave the cave at night to feed, they eat tons of insects in a single night, including many pests that eat farmers' crops. And they get rid of mosquitoes, too.The cave, quiet in winter, is full of life all summer. The floor of the cave is covered with bugs. Gnats(蚊子) are flying around, and beetles are crawling up your leg when you walk in!When twenty million bats fly out of one cave opening, they make a column (柱) so thick that they show up on the radar at the nearby airport. So much for bats being scary!25．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To explain the living habits of bats.B．To describe what bats look like.C．To talk about a frightening scene of a film.D．To introduce the topic of the passage.答案：D 推理判断题。

第一段中描述了大群的蝙蝠从洞中飞出的壮观景象，是为了引出下文要谈到的主题。

26．Why do Mexican free­tailed bats fly to Bracken Cave in Texas?A．To escape from the cold of Mexico.B．To give birth and raise their young.C．To gather plenty of food for winter.D．To help farmers in Texas kill harmful insects.答案：B 细节理解题。
