The flattened (变平的)
11、 wheat formed a circle about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. The five circles were in a formation like five dots (点). During the following years, farmers inEnglandfound the strange circles in their fields more and more often.The circles are called
12、“crop circles” because they appear in the fields ofgrainusually wheat or corn. The grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but is never broken; it continues to grow, and farmers can later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at night.
13、 They appear only in the months from May to September.At first, people thought that the circles werea hoax. Probably young people were making them as a joke, or farmers were making them to attract tourists. To prove that the circles were a hoax, people tried to make circles exactly like the ones tha
14、t farmers had found. They could not do it. They couldnt enter a field of grain without leaving tracks, and they couldnt flatten the grain without breaking it.Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles to communicate（交流）with us from far away and that the crop circles are
15、messages from them.Scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities. Some scientists say that a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circlesthe same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash (坠毁). Other scientists say that forces withi
16、n the earth cause the circles to appear. There is one problem with all these scientific explanations: crop circles often appear in formations, like the five-dot formation. It is hard to believe that any natural force could form those.21In the summer of 1978, an English farmer discovered in his field
17、 that _.A. some of his wheat had been damagedB. his grain was growing up in circlesC. his grain was moved into several circlesD. some of his wheat had fallen onto the ground22According to the text, the underlined part “a hoax” (line 1, para. 3 ) probably means _.A. an action made to fool peopleB. a
18、special way to plant cropsC. a research on the force of windsD. an experiment for the protection of crops23Which of the following may prove that the crop circles are not made by man？A. The farmers couldnt step out of the field.B. The farmers couldnt make the circles round.C. The farmers couldnt leav
19、e without footprints.D. The farmers couldnt keep the wheat straight up.B The next time you eat a piece of chocolate, be sure to enjoy it, because according to two of the worlds largest chocolate makersMars Inc and Barry Callebaut, the treat may soon be in short supply. The problem? We are consuming
20、the candy at a faster pace than farmers can grow cocoa. The manufacturers say that in 2013, people consumed 70,000 tons more cocoa than was produced. Experts say that this is the worstsupply-demand imbalancethey have experienced in more than 50 years.来源:Zxxk.ComParts of the reason for the condition
21、is the large reduction in supply, caused by a continuous drought in the west African countries ofIvory CoastandGhana, where more than 70 percent of the worlds cocoa is produced. Additionally, a certain disease known as frosty pod has destroyed 30 to 40 percent of global cocoa production. As a result
22、, many farmers have turned to more profitable and easier grown crops like corn. This means that even if conditions improve, cocoa production may never get back to normal.Meanwhile, the world is only getting hungrier for chocolate. The biggest increase in demand is from the residents of emerging mark
23、et countries likeIndia. Though their consumptionis nowhere close to the amount European devour, their newly acquired amount for the treat , is making a huge dent(凹痕) in an already tight market.There is also the growing desire for dark chocolate, which contains more than 70 percent cocoa compared to
24、normal chocolates. Experts believe that if consumption continue at this pace, cocoa deficits (差额) could swell to one million tons by 2020 and to an even more worrisome, two million tons, by 2030.Not surprisingly, cocoa prices have risen by 60% since 2012, acost that manufacturers have offset by rais
25、ing the prices of everyones favorite candy. As the situation worsens, the price of chocolate can only riseso be sure to enjoy piece of the sweet treat, like it is your last!24. The underlined phrase “supplydemand imbalance” probably means.A. People consume more chocolate than productionB. Farmers gr
26、ow more cocoa than peoples demandC. More and more people like eating chocolates nowD. Chocolates are becoming more and more expensive25. It is hard to raise cocoa production probably because .A. The weather is changeable in the west AfricaB. A certain disease spread around the worldC. Many farmers d
27、ont grow any longerD. It is impossible for conditions to be improved26. Where has the demand of chocolate been increasing greatly according to the passage?A. InAsia B. InAfrica C. InEurope D. In America27. According to the authors prediction, we can know that.A. Chocolate will become cheap sooner or
28、 laterB. The farmers will produce more cocoa in 2030C. The price of chocolate will be going up all the wayD. Dark chocolate will be more popular than common oneCIn my mind, there is a moving story about a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart.Practice after practice, he eagerly gave
29、 everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys,he got absolutely nowhere. Despite his hard training at all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played.This teenager lived alone with his father, and the relationship between the two of them was very special.
30、Even though the son was always on the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a game. This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him.The young man loved football and was determined to try his best
31、 at every practice, and perhaps hed get to play when he became a senior. All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a benchwarmer. Besides, his faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. When the young man went to college, he
32、 decided to try out for the football team as awalk-on. Everyone firmly believed that he could never make the cut, but he did.The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. His father shared his excitement and was sent season tick
33、ets for all the college games. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but actually he never got the real chance to play in a game.It was at the end of his senior football season that the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and
34、 he became totally silent. Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach,My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said,Take the rest of the week off, son. And dont even plan to come back to the game on Saturday.Saturday arr
35、ived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter, when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines(边线), the coach and his players were surprised to see their faithful teammate back
36、 so soon.Coach, please let me play. Ive just got to play today,said the young man. The coach pretended not to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close play-off game. But the young man insisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in.All right,he said.You
37、can go in.Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before, was doing everything right. The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, passed, blocked, and tackled like a star. His team began to succeed. The
38、score was soon tied. In the closing seconds of the game, this kid got a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown.Finally, after the stands had emptied, the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and said,Kid, you were unbelievab
39、ly fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?He looked at the coach, tears in his eyes, and said,Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile,Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me pla

43、of a coachD After much thought，I came up with a brilliant planI worked out a way for Rich to meet my mother and win her overIn fact，I arranged it so my mother would want to cook a meal especially for him Rich was not only not Chinese and he was a few years younger than I wasAnd unfortunately，he look

50、she chose to direct it toward her famous steamed pork and preserved vegetable dish，which she always served with special pride Ai!This dish not salty enough，no flavor，she complained，after tasting a small bite This was our familys cue to eat more and proclaim it the best she had ever madeBut before we
51、 could do so，Rich said，You know，all it needs is a little soy sauceAnd he proceeded to pour a riverful of the salty black stuff on the china plate，right before my mothers horrified eyes And even though I was hoping throughout the dinner that my mother would somehow see Richs kindness，his sense of hum
