From Superman to E. T， films have brought aliens to Earth as friends or enemies but, as yet, no one has proved they have ever seen an alien apart from on film or TV.In 1960, a radio telescope was pointed out into space to listen for signs of aliens, trying to add scientific fact to the question “is anybody out there”. But 50 years on, nobody knows the answer to it.“Its probably the most important question there is，” says Dr. Frank Drake, who was a pioneer of radio astronomy. “What does it mean to be a human being? What is our future? Are there other creatures like us? What have they bee? What can evolution produce? How far can it go? It will all e out of learning of aliens and this will certainly enrich our lives like nothing else could.”“We should be prepared for aliens，” says professor of space science John Zarnecki, from the Open University. Stephen Hawking says aliens almost certainly exist and senior astronomer Seth Shostak almost ignored the possibility that theres nothing to search for.But if there are aliens then the question is why we havent got any firm evidence of their existence. This was a question asked by the physicist Enrico Fermi as far back as 1950, saying “where is everybody”But Dr. Drake has a more simple answer to why life hasnt been found: “We just havent tried enough，” he says. “Weve looked carefully at only a few thousand stars and very few channels and thats hardly even a start. There may be around 10,000 civilisations we can discover in the galaxy. Thats one in 10,000,000 stars. Before we have a good chance of succeeding, we still have a long way to go.”地球以外是否有外星人？這是大家都非常感興趣的一個(gè)話題。盡管人類至今還沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)外星人，但是很多科學(xué)家都相信外星人的存在。1. The stories of Superman and E. T. are based on _.A. real eventsB. artists imaginationC. personal experiencesD. scientific discoveries答案：B推理判斷題。由第一段可知，人們除了在電影、電視等藝術(shù)作品里看到過(guò)外星人以外，沒有任何人能證明見到過(guò)外星人。由此可推斷，電影超人和E.T.外星人的故事建立在藝術(shù)家們想象的基礎(chǔ)之上。2. Dr. Frank Drake asks some questions in Paragraph 3 to _.A. prove the existence of aliensB. doubt the existence of aliensC. express his interest in human beings futureD. show the importance of understanding aliens答案：D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第三段中Dr. Frank Drake提出的很多問(wèn)題都是為該段最后一句話做鋪墊。最后一句話說(shuō)明了研究外星人的重要意義。3. All of the following scientists believe the existence of aliens EXCEPT_.A. Dr. Frank DrakeB. John ZarneckiC. Stephen HawkingD. Enrico Fermi答案：D推理判斷題。由第五段物理學(xué)家Enrico Fermi的疑問(wèn)可推知，他不相信外星人的存在。4. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Aliens have been seen by some people.B. Aliens often appear in the films as enemies.C. It remains unknown whether there are aliens.D. Scientists have studied millions of stars to search for aliens.答案：C推理判斷題。雖然文中的很多科學(xué)家相信外星人存在，但是還沒有確鑿的證據(jù)，所以外星人是否真正存在還是一個(gè)廣泛爭(zhēng)議的未解之謎，故C項(xiàng)正確。BDo you want to be the centre of attention at Halloweens Party?

Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.A bumblebee if dropping into an open glass cup will be there until it dies, _7_ it is taken out.It never sees the means of escape at the top，but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the _8_ .It will seek a way where none _9_ (exist)，until it pletely destroys itself.In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee.They are struggling with all their problems and frustrations, not _10_(realize) that the answer is right there above them.1. _2. _3. _4. _5. _6. _7. _8. _9. _10. _這是一篇議論文。其實(shí)在很多方面，很多人也像禿鷲、蝙蝠和大黃蜂一樣，使盡渾身解數(shù)試圖解決問(wèn)題，卻沒有意識(shí)到解決之道就在正上方。1entirely考查副詞。根據(jù)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處要用副詞修飾形容詞open。2that考查連接詞。該空應(yīng)填that，引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句。3Without考查介詞。根據(jù)句子的意思可知此處指沒有足夠的助跑空間。所以要用without。4ordinary考查形容詞。根據(jù)句子的意思可知，此處要用形容詞作定語(yǔ)。5is placed考查被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。句子的主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以要用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。6doubt考查名詞。短語(yǔ)no doubt意思是“毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)”。7unless考查連詞。根據(jù)句子的意思可知，要用unless，意思是“除非”。8bottom考查名詞。由于前面有定冠詞，所以要用名詞；再由前面的top和but可知此處填bottom。9exists考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境，表示現(xiàn)在的情況，要用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，由于從句的主語(yǔ)為none，所以要用其單數(shù)形式。10realizing考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)來(lái)判斷，此處是用現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語(yǔ)，表示伴隨的情況。
