21、UFO stands for "unidentified flying object". Many people reported having seen UFOs in the sky. A lot of countries tried to research them and in 1952 they got the name of UFO.
There were several reports published in the 19th century which were related to UFOs. Denison Daily News in its report of 25th January, 1878 wrote that a farmer, Martin, saw a flying object in the sky and it was just like a plate. This was the first time that the word plate had been related to the UFOs.
The first reports on UFOs came during World War II. In 1947 pilot Kenneth Arnold said while he was flying near the Mount Rainer he saw a very bright object in the sky. He said that it was like a plate too. The information given by Kenneth got lots of attention from the media and people.
Several research organizations gave their reports on the UFOs. They showed direct or indirect physical evidence of the UFOs, and sometimes UFOs’ appearance was found on the radar (雷达) screen. Many people tried to take video tapes or photos of the UFOs as testimony. Most UFOs are in saucer shape while many UFOs are like a cigarette or a half ball.
Many films and TV shows are made about UFOs. There are two famous movies which are created on the theme of UFOs and aliens, War of the World and Star Wars. UFOs have created a new field in science which is known as Ufology (飞碟学).

23、 Margaret Mead,the most famous anthropologist(人类学家）in the world,was born in the USA in 1901,the oldest of five children.Her father was a professor of finance and her mother was a sociologist.After studying psychology as an undergraduate,Mead began a PhD in the relatively new field of anthropology.Mead was particularly interested in primitive communities because she believed that such isolated cultures could serve as"laboratories"that would reveal ways of living that the modern world had forgotten about but needed to remember.
Having travelled to Samon,a few tiny volcanic,tropical islands in the center of the Pacific Ocean,Mead gradually got interested in gender roles and discovered that modern societies are far more strict in this area than primitive ones.For example,Americans tend to think of men as productive,sensible,and aggressive,while women are often told they're more light-hearted, peaceful,and nurturing.But in her 1935 book,Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies,
Mead studied tribes in Papua New Guinea and recorded that in the Arapesh tribe,both men and women were peaceful and nurturing,while among the Mundugurnor tribe, men and women were both ruthless and aggressive.
Mead's striking conclusion is that it isn't gender that makes women curl their hair or listen to people's feelings,or race that makes some nations regularly attack their neighbors.Rather,it's the social expectations and norms that have laid the groundwork for each individual's psychological makeup."We must recognize,"she reminded her readers,"that beneath the superficial(表面上的）classifications of sex and race,the same potentialities always exist,occurring again generation after generation,only to perish because society has no place for them."
She is regarded as one of the most influential social scientists of the last century.People around the world mourned the death of Margaret Mead in 1978.A year later,the president of the United States,Jimmy Carter,honored the social scientist with America's highest award for civilians.
【1】What can we learn about Mead from the text?

B.She majored in psychology and anthropology as an undergraduate.
C.She believed isolated cultures could expose forgotten ways of living to the modern world.
D.She discovered modern societies are less strict in gender roles than primitive ones.
【2】It can be inferred from Mead's study in tribes that
A.the world is filled with separate cultures.
B.no gender characteristics are ever simply"human nature".
C.knowing another culture will help us reflect on our own.
D.social standards are responsible for individual's development.

A.Shared potential among humans.
B.Classifications of gender and race.

24、The discovery of the Komodo Dragons is one of the most important zoological (动物学的) surprises of the 20th century. Before 1912 it was completely unknown and it was believed that there were no more large lizards (蜥蜴) in the world. Then, in that year, a party of fishermen stopped at an almost completely-unknown small island in a group of islands. The fishermen brought back stories of a huge, prehistoric animal living there. The island’s name was Komodo. The largest of these lizards was over ten feet from nose to tail. Komodo dragons have also been discovered on several neighboring islands.
Are the dragons dangerous to humans? Yes. A Swiss tourist who sat down to have a rest while the other people of his tour group went ahead was attacked and eaten by a dragon. All that was left was a piece of his camera. A number of other people have been killed by dragon attacks over the years. The dragons can eat up to 80 percent of their own weight in a single meal. Their attack way is to wait behind trees, then rush forward and give a single large bite to the person or other animal. Most Komodo dragons prefer wild boar (野猪) or deer as their meals, but they will try to attack and get almost every other animal they can find, including other dragons. The largest dragons weigh around 150 kilos. Though the Komodo dragons can see well, they do most of their hunting based on smell. A dragon can recognize a certain smell from several miles when the wind is right. They will hunt when they have to, and these large lizards are more than happy to get an already dead animal when they come across one.
【1】How was the Komodo dragon discovered?
A．Scientists had been looking for it and found it

C．they will attack and eat humans if they find them
D．they are much bigger than people
【4】A Komodo dragon will eat all the following EXCEPT________.

25、In today’s American society, background checks have become a routine part of hiring process, employers use them to ______________ potential workers, judging whether they are qualified for the posts. Through background checks, employers can also make sure that the information applicants provide is truthful, which ______________ the applicants’ moral quality.
Then what do background checks investigate? Many include a review of the employee’s employment history trying to confirm whether the employee has ever been fired or forced to ______________ . Employers also pay attention to the length of unemployment, afraid that long-time ______________ from work may bring negative influence to the employee’s performance. Sometimes, an applicant’s residential history is also an issue. Jobs with state or local governments often require that the employee live in certain areas, reducing the chances for them to have contact with ______________ people. Besides living near the work place is always welcome as it saves time and fares on ______________ . Another item which can’t be neglected is the applicant’s criminal history as in whether he has ever been arrested or put into prison. Although ______________ like traffic ticketing or queue jumping are usually pardoned, breaking a criminal law is rarely ______________ and, in most cases, is sure to result in the ending of the employment. Then comes the social history. A background check that involves the applicant’s social history is ______________ needed for government posts or employment in finance and law industries that require greater self ______________ . A small mistake in these posts may result in huge loss. The investigation usually checks drug use, family relationships and social contacts, in order to ______________ hiring someone unsuitable for the posts. Background investigators who ______________ social history may interview neighbors and professional references ______________ by the applicant.
Finally in the field of education background, an application form may ask for copies of licenses or university diplomas to show the applicant’s ______________ performances. In many instances, an education background check is so ______________ about details that investigators even confirm the date on which the employee earned his degree to determine if it agrees with the information the employee provided on his application.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a misty morning in July, Clay and Acaimie arrived at the base of Mount Liamuiga, ready for their first honeymoon climb. They had married just five days earlier back home in Indiana, the United States.
They had their apparent differences. Acaimie had always been the worrier. Clay, on the other hand, was an optimist—always certain that things would turn out just fine. So it was Clay who wanted to take a day of their honeymoon and climb Mount Liamuiga, which is also a dead volcano—a popular destination for vacationers looking for adventure.
The couple, dressed in white T-shirts and sneakers, arrived for their journey in a rental car expecting to explore. When arriving, they found an empty dirt parking lot with just a small sign marking the beginning of the track. They made their way up anyway.
It took them nearly three hours to reach the peak, but the view made it all worthwhile. Though worn-out, they couldn't have been happier as they took a few selfies（自拍）with their cellphones, and walked around the edge of the volcano.
That's when Clay saw it: a small track, half-hidden beneath plant life, that led into the volcano's crater（火山口）. A series of holes had been drilled into the rocks, with ropes that led down. For Clay, the sight was incredibly inviting. It felt like a secret entrance to a mysterious paradise（天堂，乐园）. Acaimie was less enthusiastic. The track was steep, and she was afraid of heights, but she bravely followed Clay's lead. After just a few minutes of going downwards, though, she'd had enough. She told her husband she'd wait on the rocks just off the track while he went exploring. “Just be quick,” she said as she watched him set off on the rough path, zigzagging（曲折前进）while grasping the rope.
注意：

A few minutes later, she heard a noise of something rolling downhill and a cry for help from deep within the crater.

There was nobody when they reached the top, but fortunately she found a signal on her cellphone.
