2．（8分）A letter written to a 12﹣year﹣old girl in Lithuania （立陶宛） arrived in December，almost 51 years after it was sent.Now in her 60s，Genovefa Klorrovska said after being handed the letter， "I thought that someone was playing a joke on me."
The letter included a handmade，colored rose and two paper dolls.It was sent to Klonovska by Ewa，a young girl in Poland （波兰）.They exchanged letters in what is known as a pen friend program when people write letters to each other without actually meeting.
The letter，together with 17 others，was discovered last summer when a wall was taken down in an old post office in Vilnius.Jurgis Vilutis is the owner of the building. "The workers suggested I throw the old letters away，but I called the post office instead，" Vilutis said. "I'm so happy they got interested."
The letters，from the late 1960s and early1970s，were probably hidden by a postal worker after he searched them for money or valuables，Vilutis said.Lithuania was part of the Soviet Union （苏联） then.The senders were family members or pen friends from places such as Australia，Poland，or Russia.Street names and their numbering have changed in Vilnius.
Post office workers spent months looking for the people who were supposed to get the letters﹣﹣the recipients.Only five recipients were found.In several cases，children of dead recipients were handed a lost letter.Deimante Zebrauskaite，head of the customer experience department at Lithuania Post，said， "We felt it is a moral （道义上的） duty to do this."
In the letter Ewa tells Klonovska that buses no longer reach her village，so she has to walk in minus （零下）23 degree Celsius cold，and asks for pictures of actors.
Now，Klonovska has no memory of Ewa.She probably wrote to Ewa after finding her address asking for pen pals in a newspaper. "Their relationship stopped when she didn't get the letter.It was not life﹣changing，" said Klonovska. "But what will happen if one of the letters was from a suitor（求婚者） to his love，and their wedding （婚礼） never happened？"
（1）How did Genovefa Klonovska feel as soon as she got the letter？
A.Happy.

A.A postal worker hid it.
B.We are not sure about it.

3．（8分）①Scientists at the University of Florida have grown plants in soil （土壤） that has come from the Moon.The experiment （实验） marks an important step toward growing plants on the Moon.
②▲ .It doesn't have many nutrients﹣﹣things that help plants grow.However，it has plenty of iron （铁），and is full of tiny pieces of glass.What's more，there's not a lot of it on Earth.In fact，most of it was collected over 50 years ago by NASA.The lunar（月球的） soil is so﹣valuable that it took the scientists11 years to let NASA allow them to use it.
③The scientists chose a plant called thale cress （鼠耳芥） for their experiment.They put the lunar soil into 12 tiny bottles.They got the soil wet with water mixed with nutrients.Then they added seeds （种子）.To compare，the researchers also planted thale cress seeds in volcanic ash （火山灰）.After two days of watering，the scientists saw green growths in every bottle. "Everything sprouted （发芽）.I can't tell you how surprised we were!" said Anna﹣Lisa Paul，the report's lead writer.

4．（8分）Do you believe in aliens？During the 1980s，hundreds of mysterious circles appeared in fields all over England.Many people thought the crop（庄稼） circles were created by aliens from outer space.What were these circles？And who had made them？
They appeared like magic in the middle of night.Hundreds of geometrical （几何的） patterns appeared in the middle of English wheat fields.The most common idea was that they were made by spaceships.Before long，books were written on the subject，and many tourists went to see the circles.Two scientists，Pete Delgado and Colin Andrews，became crazy about the subject.They believed the circles were the work of an "unknown intelligence".By the end of the 1980s，the crop circles had become a full﹣blown mystery，and there were regular reports in newspapers and on television.
There were other suggestions too.Some believed the circles had been caused by animals such as deer，while others thought the circles were caused by helicopters （直升机）.Some experts thought the symbols were from ancient writings.However，no one could really offer a convincing explanation.
1990 was the golden year for the crop circles.Delgado and Andrews's book Circular Evidence came out and sold pretty well.That year，the crop circles were even more elaborate （复杂的） than the ones before.The hit of the year came on July 12th when a huge circle appeared in a field at Alton Barnes.
One day that same year，a group of famous circle experts set up plenty of surveillance equipment （监控设备） on a hill in Wiltshire.They were hoping to record the formation（形成） of a crop circle.Amazingly，the next day six circles appeared in a field just below them，without the team recording anything.Worse still，when the researchers entered the circles，they found man﹣made tools in the centre of each circle，which seemed to make it believable that the circles had been made by humans.
Finally，in 1991，Today newspaper published a report of how two men （Doug Bower and Dave Chorley）in their sixties had made the circles.The artists showed how they had created the circles at night with rope and flat boards.
However，since then，a great many more crop circles have appeared.Though better and better surveillance equipment，including government and army satellite （卫星） cameras，is used，no one has ever been caught actually making a crop circle.So，who is still making these circles？And why？The mystery remains.
（1）How does the writer lead in the topic？
A.By listing numbers.
B.By telling stories.
C.By making a survey.
D.By asking questions.
（2）Pete Delgado and Colin Andrews believed the circles were made by .
A.Aliens
B.animals
C.humans
D.helicopters
（3）What can we know from the passage？
A.The geometrical patterns were ancient writings.
B.Helicopters were used to find out who made the crop circles.
C.The experts who used surveillance equipment recorded nothing.
D.Today newspaper explained the formation of the crop circles successfully.
（4）What's the best title of the passage？
A.Do You Believe in Aliens？
B.Scientists and Crop Circles
C.Crop Circles﹣No More Mystery
D.Crop Circles﹣Can Anyone Explain Why They Are There？

【解答】（1）细节推理题。根据第二段It doesn't have many nutrients﹣﹣things that help plants grow.However，it has plenty of iron （铁），and is full of tiny pieces of glass.What's more，there's not a lot of it on Earth.In fact，most of it was collected over 50 years ago by NASA.The lunar（月球的） soil is so﹣valuable that it took the scientists11 years to let NASA allow them to use it.（它没有太多有助于植物生长的营养物质。然而，它含有大量的铁，而且充满了微小的玻璃碎片。更重要的是，地球上的铁并不多。事实上，大部分是美国国家航空航天局50多年前收集的。月球土壤非常宝贵，科学家们花了11年时间才让美国国家航空宇航局允许他们使用它。）可知，这里说的是月球土壤的成分，故下列选项D"月球上的土壤与普通土壤非常不同"可以放在第2段的"▲ "处。故选D。
（2）细节理解题。根据第四段As the scientists continued to care for the plants，they began to notice differences.The plants grown in lunar soil weren't as healthy as those grown in volcanic ash.They were smaller and grew more slowly.（随着科学家们继续照顾这些植物，他们开始注意到差异。生长在月球土壤中的植物不如生长在火山灰中的植物健康。它们更小，生长更慢。）可知，科学家的实验显示了植物可以在月球土壤中生长，但不那么健康。故选B
（3）段落大意题。根据第五段Now，there's a lot of interest in developing ways to help astronauts keep alive on the Moon.That's partly because of NASA's Artemis project which tries to send people to the Moon for a long period of time in a few years.Plants could help by providing food and oxygen （氧气）.（现在，人们对开发帮助宇航员在月球上生存的方法很感兴趣。部分原因是美国国家航空航天局的阿尔忒弥斯项目试图在几年内将人们送上月球待很长一段时间。植物可以通过提供食物和氧气来提供帮助。）可知，第5段的主要内容是"为什么科学家试图在月球土壤中种植植物"。故选C
（4）细节推断题。根据第六段"The ability to take plants successfully with us to the Moon is how we'll grow our own food，" said Dr.Robert Ferl. "Showing that plants will grow in lunar soil is actually a huge step in that direction."（罗伯特•费尔博士说："将植物成功带到月球的能力是我们自己种植食物的方式。""表明植物将在月球土壤中生长，实际上是朝着这个方向迈出的一大步。"）可知，罗伯特•费尔博士认为在月球上种植食物将是可能的。故选A。

4．（8分）Do you believe in aliens？During the 1980s，hundreds of mysterious circles appeared in fields all over England.Many people thought the crop（庄稼） circles were created by aliens from outer space.What were these circles？And who had made them？
They appeared like magic in the middle of night.Hundreds of geometrical （几何的） patterns appeared in the middle of English wheat fields.The most common idea was that they were made by spaceships.Before long，books were written on the subject，and many tourists went to see the circles.Two scientists，Pete Delgado and Colin Andrews，became crazy about the subject.They believed the circles were the work of an "unknown intelligence".By the end of the 1980s，the crop circles had become a full﹣blown mystery，and there were regular reports in newspapers and on television.
There were other suggestions too.Some believed the circles had been caused by animals such as deer，while others thought the circles were caused by helicopters （直升机）.Some experts thought the symbols were from ancient writings.However，no one could really offer a convincing explanation.
1990 was the golden year for the crop circles.Delgado and Andrews's book Circular Evidence came out and sold pretty well.That year，the crop circles were even more elaborate （复杂的） than the ones before.The hit of the year came on July 12th when a huge circle appeared in a field at Alton Barnes.
One day that same year，a group of famous circle experts set up plenty of surveillance equipment （监控设备） on a hill in Wiltshire.They were hoping to record the formation（形成） of a crop circle.Amazingly，the next day six circles appeared in a field just below them，without the team recording anything.Worse still，when the researchers entered the circles，they found man﹣made tools in the centre of each circle，which seemed to make it believable that the circles had been made by humans.
Finally，in 1991，Today newspaper published a report of how two men （Doug Bower and Dave Chorley）in their sixties had made the circles.The artists showed how they had created the circles at night with rope and flat boards.
However，since then，a great many more crop circles have appeared.Though better and better surveillance equipment，including government and army satellite （卫星） cameras，is used，no one has ever been caught actually making a crop circle.So，who is still making these circles？And why？The mystery remains.
（1）How does the writer lead in the topic？ D
A.By listing numbers.
B.By telling stories.
C.By making a survey.
D.By asking questions.
（2）Pete Delgado and Colin Andrews believed the circles were made by A .
A.Aliens
B.animals
C.humans
D.helicopters
（3）What can we know from the passage？ C
A.The geometrical patterns were ancient writings.
B.Helicopters were used to find out who made the crop circles.
C.The experts who used surveillance equipment recorded nothing.
D.Today newspaper explained the formation of the crop circles successfully.
（4）What's the best title of the passage？ D
A.Do You Believe in Aliens？
B.Scientists and Crop Circles
C.Crop Circles﹣No More Mystery
D.Crop Circles﹣Can Anyone Explain Why They Are There？
【分析】主要介绍了20世纪80年代，英国各地出现的数百个神秘的圆圈，以及人们对这些怪圈的猜测和科学家们的研究。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段Do you believe in aliens？（你相信外星人吗？）可知作者通过提问引出话题。故选A。
（2）细节理解题。根据第二段Two scientists，Pete Delgado and Colin Andrews，became crazy about the subject.They believed the circles were the work of an "unknown intelligence".（两位科学家，皮特•德尔加多和科林•安德鲁斯，对这个主题非常着迷。他们认为这些圆圈是"未知智能"的产物。）可知他们认为这些圆圈是由外国人制造的。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据第五段One day that same year，a group of famous circle experts set up plenty of surveillance equipment on a hill in Wiltshire.They were hoping to record the formation of a crop circle.Amazingly，the next day six circles appeared in a field just below them，without the team recording anything.（同年的一天，一群著名的圆圈专家在威尔特郡的一座小山上安装了大量的监控设备。他们希望能记录下麦田怪圈的形成。令人惊讶的是，第二天，六个圆圈出现在他们正下方的田地里，团队没有记录任何东西。）可知使用监控设备的专家没有任何记录。故选C。
（4）最佳标题题。根据全文尤其最后一段However，since then，a great many more crop circles have appeared.Though better and better surveillance equipment，including government and army satellite cameras，is used，no one has ever been caught actually making a crop circle.So，who is still making these circles？And why？The mystery remains.（然而，从那以后，出现了更多的麦田怪圈。尽管使用了越来越好的监控设备，包括政府和军队的卫星摄像头，但从未有人被抓到真的在麦田怪圈呢。那么，谁还在麦田怪圈为什么谜团依然存在。）可知最佳标题为"麦田怪圈——有人能解释它们为什么在那里吗"故选D。

2．（8分）A letter written to a 12﹣year﹣old girl in Lithuania （立陶宛） arrived in December，almost 51 years after it was sent.Now in her 60s，Genovefa Klorrovska said after being handed the letter， "I thought that someone was playing a joke on me."
The letter included a handmade，colored rose and two paper dolls.It was sent to Klonovska by Ewa，a young girl in Poland （波兰）.They exchanged letters in what is known as a pen friend program when people write letters to each other without actually meeting.
The letter，together with 17 others，was discovered last summer when a wall was taken down in an old post office in Vilnius.Jurgis Vilutis is the owner of the building. "The workers suggested I throw the old letters away，but I called the post office instead，" Vilutis said. "I'm so happy they got interested."
The letters，from the late 1960s and early1970s，were probably hidden by a postal worker after he searched them for money or valuables，Vilutis said.Lithuania was part of the Soviet Union （苏联） then.The senders were family members or pen friends from places such as Australia，Poland，or Russia.Street names and their numbering have changed in Vilnius.
Post office workers spent months looking for the people who were supposed to get the letters﹣﹣the recipients.Only five recipients were found.In several cases，children of dead recipients were handed a lost letter.Deimante Zebrauskaite，head of the customer experience department at Lithuania Post，said， "We felt it is a moral （道义上的） duty to do this."
In the letter Ewa tells Klonovska that buses no longer reach her village，so she has to walk in minus （零下）23 degree Celsius cold，and asks for pictures of actors.
Now，Klonovska has no memory of Ewa.She probably wrote to Ewa after finding her address asking for pen pals in a newspaper. "Their relationship stopped when she didn't get the letter.It was not life﹣changing，" said Klonovska. "But what will happen if one of the letters was from a suitor（求婚者） to his love，and their wedding （婚礼） never happened？"
（1）How did Genovefa Klonovska feel as soon as she got the letter？
A.Happy.
B.Angry.

A.A postal worker hid it.
B.We are not sure about it.
C.The post office was taken down at that time.
D.Buses couldn't reach most of the places then.
（4）What can we can infer from the passage？
A.Klonovska's life was changed because of the lost letter.
B.Ewa wrote to Klonovska because she was a famous actor.
C.Ewa and Klonovska knew each other before Evwa wrote the letter.
D.Klonovska thought these lost letters might cause serious problems.

②▲ .It doesn't have many nutrients﹣﹣things that help plants grow.However，it has plenty of iron （铁），and is full of tiny pieces of glass.What's more，there's not a lot of it on Earth.In fact，most of it was collected over 50 years ago by NASA.The lunar（月球的） soil is so﹣valuable that it took the scientists11 years to let NASA allow them to use it.
③The scientists chose a plant called thale cress （鼠耳芥） for their experiment.They put the lunar soil into 12 tiny bottles.They got the soil wet with water mixed with nutrients.Then they added seeds （种子）.To compare，the researchers also planted thale cress seeds in volcanic ash （火山灰）.After two days of watering，the scientists saw green growths in every bottle. "Everything sprouted （发芽）.I can't tell you how surprised we were!" said Anna﹣Lisa Paul，the report's lead writer.

4．（8分）Do you believe in aliens？During the 1980s，hundreds of mysterious circles appeared in fields all over England.Many people thought the crop（庄稼） circles were created by aliens from outer space.What were these circles？And who had made them？
They appeared like magic in the middle of night.Hundreds of geometrical （几何的） patterns appeared in the middle of English wheat fields.The most common idea was that they were made by spaceships.Before long，books were written on the subject，and many tourists went to see the circles.Two scientists，Pete Delgado and Colin Andrews，became crazy about the subject.They believed the circles were the work of an "unknown intelligence".By the end of the 1980s，the crop circles had become a full﹣blown mystery，and there were regular reports in newspapers and on television.
There were other suggestions too.Some believed the circles had been caused by animals such as deer，while others thought the circles were caused by helicopters （直升机）.Some experts thought the symbols were from ancient writings.However，no one could really offer a convincing explanation.
1990 was the golden year for the crop circles.Delgado and Andrews's book Circular Evidence came out and sold pretty well.That year，the crop circles were even more elaborate （复杂的） than the ones before.The hit of the year came on July 12th when a huge circle appeared in a field at Alton Barnes.
One day that same year，a group of famous circle experts set up plenty of surveillance equipment （监控设备） on a hill in Wiltshire.They were hoping to record the formation（形成） of a crop circle.Amazingly，the next day six circles appeared in a field just below them，without the team recording anything.Worse still，when the researchers entered the circles，they found man﹣made tools in the centre of each circle，which seemed to make it believable that the circles had been made by humans.
Finally，in 1991，Today newspaper published a report of how two men （Doug Bower and Dave Chorley）in their sixties had made the circles.The artists showed how they had created the circles at night with rope and flat boards.
However，since then，a great many more crop circles have appeared.Though better and better surveillance equipment，including government and army satellite （卫星） cameras，is used，no one has ever been caught actually making a crop circle.So，who is still making these circles？And why？The mystery remains.
（1）How does the writer lead in the topic？
A.By listing numbers.
B.By telling stories.
C.By making a survey.
D.By asking questions.
（2）Pete Delgado and Colin Andrews believed the circles were made by .
A.Aliens
B.animals
C.humans
D.helicopters
（3）What can we know from the passage？
A.The geometrical patterns were ancient writings.
B.Helicopters were used to find out who made the crop circles.
C.The experts who used surveillance equipment recorded nothing.
D.Today newspaper explained the formation of the crop circles successfully.
（4）What's the best title of the passage？
A.Do You Believe in Aliens？
B.Scientists and Crop Circles
C.Crop Circles﹣No More Mystery
D.Crop Circles﹣Can Anyone Explain Why They Are There？

【分析】本文讲述了佛罗里达大学的科学家在来自月球的土壤中种植了植物。这项实验标志着在月球上种植植物迈出了重要一步。

（2）细节理解题。根据第四段As the scientists continued to care for the plants，they began to notice differences.The plants grown in lunar soil weren't as healthy as those grown in volcanic ash.They were smaller and grew more slowly.（随着科学家们继续照顾这些植物，他们开始注意到差异。生长在月球土壤中的植物不如生长在火山灰中的植物健康。它们更小，生长更慢。）可知，科学家的实验显示了植物可以在月球土壤中生长，但不那么健康。故选B
（3）段落大意题。根据第五段Now，there's a lot of interest in developing ways to help astronauts keep alive on the Moon.That's partly because of NASA's Artemis project which tries to send people to the Moon for a long period of time in a few years.Plants could help by providing food and oxygen （氧气）.（现在，人们对开发帮助宇航员在月球上生存的方法很感兴趣。部分原因是美国国家航空航天局的阿尔忒弥斯项目试图在几年内将人们送上月球待很长一段时间。植物可以通过提供食物和氧气来提供帮助。）可知，第5段的主要内容是"为什么科学家试图在月球土壤中种植植物"。故选C
（4）细节推断题。根据第六段"The ability to take plants successfully with us to the Moon is how we'll grow our own food，" said Dr.Robert Ferl. "Showing that plants will grow in lunar soil is actually a huge step in that direction."（罗伯特•费尔博士说："将植物成功带到月球的能力是我们自己种植食物的方式。""表明植物将在月球土壤中生长，实际上是朝着这个方向迈出的一大步。"）可知，罗伯特•费尔博士认为在月球上种植食物将是可能的。故选A。

4．（8分）Do you believe in aliens？During the 1980s，hundreds of mysterious circles appeared in fields all over England.Many people thought the crop（庄稼） circles were created by aliens from outer space.What were these circles？And who had made them？
They appeared like magic in the middle of night.Hundreds of geometrical （几何的） patterns appeared in the middle of English wheat fields.The most common idea was that they were made by spaceships.Before long，books were written on the subject，and many tourists went to see the circles.Two scientists，Pete Delgado and Colin Andrews，became crazy about the subject.They believed the circles were the work of an "unknown intelligence".By the end of the 1980s，the crop circles had become a full﹣blown mystery，and there were regular reports in newspapers and on television.
There were other suggestions too.Some believed the circles had been caused by animals such as deer，while others thought the circles were caused by helicopters （直升机）.Some experts thought the symbols were from ancient writings.However，no one could really offer a convincing explanation.
1990 was the golden year for the crop circles.Delgado and Andrews's book Circular Evidence came out and sold pretty well.That year，the crop circles were even more elaborate （复杂的） than the ones before.The hit of the year came on July 12th when a huge circle appeared in a field at Alton Barnes.
One day that same year，a group of famous circle experts set up plenty of surveillance equipment （监控设备） on a hill in Wiltshire.They were hoping to record the formation（形成） of a crop circle.Amazingly，the next day six circles appeared in a field just below them，without the team recording anything.Worse still，when the researchers entered the circles，they found man﹣made tools in the centre of each circle，which seemed to make it believable that the circles had been made by humans.
Finally，in 1991，Today newspaper published a report of how two men （Doug Bower and Dave Chorley）in their sixties had made the circles.The artists showed how they had created the circles at night with rope and flat boards.
However，since then，a great many more crop circles have appeared.Though better and better surveillance equipment，including government and army satellite （卫星） cameras，is used，no one has ever been caught actually making a crop circle.So，who is still making these circles？And why？The mystery remains.
（1）How does the writer lead in the topic？ D
A.By listing numbers.
B.By telling stories.
C.By making a survey.
D.By asking questions.
（2）Pete Delgado and Colin Andrews believed the circles were made by A .
A.Aliens
B.animals
C.humans
D.helicopters
（3）What can we know from the passage？ C
A.The geometrical patterns were ancient writings.
B.Helicopters were used to find out who made the crop circles.
C.The experts who used surveillance equipment recorded nothing.
D.Today newspaper explained the formation of the crop circles successfully.
（4）What's the best title of the passage？ D
A.Do You Believe in Aliens？
B.Scientists and Crop Circles
C.Crop Circles﹣No More Mystery
D.Crop Circles﹣Can Anyone Explain Why They Are There？

【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段Do you believe in aliens？（你相信外星人吗？）可知作者通过提问引出话题。故选A。
（2）细节理解题。根据第二段Two scientists，Pete Delgado and Colin Andrews，became crazy about the subject.They believed the circles were the work of an "unknown intelligence".（两位科学家，皮特•德尔加多和科林•安德鲁斯，对这个主题非常着迷。他们认为这些圆圈是"未知智能"的产物。）可知他们认为这些圆圈是由外国人制造的。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据第五段One day that same year，a group of famous circle experts set up plenty of surveillance equipment on a hill in Wiltshire.They were hoping to record the formation of a crop circle.Amazingly，the next day six circles appeared in a field just below them，without the team recording anything.（同年的一天，一群著名的圆圈专家在威尔特郡的一座小山上安装了大量的监控设备。他们希望能记录下麦田怪圈的形成。令人惊讶的是，第二天，六个圆圈出现在他们正下方的田地里，团队没有记录任何东西。）可知使用监控设备的专家没有任何记录。故选C。
（4）最佳标题题。根据全文尤其最后一段However，since then，a great many more crop circles have appeared.Though better and better surveillance equipment，including government and army satellite cameras，is used，no one has ever been caught actually making a crop circle.So，who is still making these circles？And why？The mystery remains.（然而，从那以后，出现了更多的麦田怪圈。尽管使用了越来越好的监控设备，包括政府和军队的卫星摄像头，但从未有人被抓到真的在麦田怪圈呢。那么，谁还在麦田怪圈为什么谜团依然存在。）可知最佳标题为"麦田怪圈——有人能解释它们为什么在那里吗"故选D。
