My three little children and I got up, put on warm clothes and made our way to the window facing north. The wind blew hard from the west, and the snow made i
15、t hard for us to see the hen house. As we looked out of the windows, we found that the hen house was gone. Miss Penny and her two friends had been blown away by the cold northwest wind that still shook our old farmhouse. I looked at the empty yard outside to make sure I wasnt missing something. Then
16、 I saw them all three chickens being around a white buck. I couldnt believe my eyes! How was this strong wind not pushing them into the field beyond? It was unbelievable. I thought. I quickly opened the back room door, pulled on my husbands long snow trousers and heavy winter coat and went out. As t
17、he snow flew violently around me, I tried hard to make my way to the soft cluck-cluck sound my hens always made. When I reached them, I quickly unzipped Rogers heavy coat, softly picked each hen up and carefully put them into my warm coat. Then I began to walk back to the small wooden house behind o
18、ur own house. The doors to the wooden house were difficult to open, but somehow I managed to pull them apart. One by one I laid my chickens on the cold floor and they began to cluck softly.

C Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流). Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. H
22、owever, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast
23、 of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear. Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes about 60,000 in total fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked i
24、f they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didnt. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents. The Pacific Nort
25、hwest is one of the worlds best areas for beach combing (海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beach combers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year
26、 he collected reliable information on 1,600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study. As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with quest
27、ions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beach combers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves. 8.The underlined phrase “swap meets” in P

30、rpose of the author in writing this passage? A. To call peoples attention to ocean pollution. B. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean. C. To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents. D. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach. D A scientist once said, “I have con
31、cluded that the earth is being visited by intelligently controlled vehicles from outer space.” If we take this as a reasonable explanation for UFOs (unidentified flying objects), questions immediately come up. “Why dont they get in touch with us, then? Why dont they land right on the White House law
32、n and declare themselves?” people asked. In reply, scientists say that, while this may be what we want, it may not necessarily be what they want. “The most likely explanation, it seems to me,” said Dr. Mead, “is that they are simply watching what we are up to that responsible society outside our sol
33、ar system is keeping an eye on us to see that we dont cause a chain reaction that might have unexpected effects for the outside of our solar system.” Opinions from other scientists might go like this: “Why should they want to get in touch with us? We may feel were more important than we really are!
34、They may want to observe us only and not interfere (干涉) with the development of our civilization. They may not care if we see them but they also may not care to say hello.” Some scientists have also suggested that Earth is a kind of zoo or wildlife reserve. Just as we set aside wilderness areas and
35、wildlife reserves to allow animals and growing things to develop naturally while we observe them, so perhaps Earth was set aside ages ago for the same purpose. Are we being observed by intelligent beings from other civilizations in the universe? Are they watching our progress in space travel? Do we
36、live in a huge “zoo” observed by our “keepers”, but having no communication with them? Never before in our history have we had to face ideas bravely like these. The simple fact is that we, who have always regarded ourselves as supreme in the universe, may not be so. Now we have to recognize that, am
37、ong the stars in the heavens, there may very well be worlds lived by beings who are to us as we are to ants. 12.
