The flatte
27、ned(变平的) 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(构造) like five dots （点）. During the following years, farmers in England found the strange circles in their fields more and more often.The circl
28、es are called “crop circles” because they appear in the fields of grainusually 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
29、 form at night. They appear only in the months from May to September.At first, people thought that the circles were a 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 l
30、ike the ones that farmers had found. They couldnt 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 cro
31、p circles are 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
32、forces within 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.61. In the summer of 1978 , an English farmer discover
33、ed in his field that_. Asome of his wheat had been damagedBhis grain was growing up in circlesChis grain was moved into several circlesDsome of his wheat had fallen onto the ground62. According to the text, the underlined part “hoax” (line 1, para.3 ) probably means .Aan action made to fool peopleBa

Which of the following may prove that the crop circles are not made by man？AThe farmers couldnt step out of the field.BThe farmers couldnt make the circles round.CThe farmers couldnt leave witho

That the crop circles are made by is probably true.Aair movementBairplane crashesCnew farming techniquesDunknown flying objectsBMother Teresa was born in Yugoslavia (南斯拉夫),on August 27,1910.

38、e in Patna, and then began her work helping the poor and comforting the dying in the streets of the city. Slowly, others came to help her, and her work spread to other parts of India.Mother Teresa is now a well-known person. Many photos have been taken of her, as she travels the world to open new sc

Eating the right kinds of food is very important. A good eating habit can help your body grow strong if you take care of what you
43、eat. There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy group has food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least one food from all four main groups. With all of t
