16.At 2 pm on 5 December 1945,five US bombers took off from Fort Lauderlale in the USA for a training flight in perfect weather.Shortly afterwards,the pilots radioed that their flight instruments were all malfunctioning.Two hours after take-off,all contact with the planes was lost.A reconnaissance plane was immediately sent off to search for the missing planes.Within 20 minutes,radio contact with it had also been lost.No trace of any of the planes was ever found.In all,six planes and 27 men had disappeared into the air.
The disappearance of the six planes was far from being the first mysterious incident in the area:for years,navigational problems and strange magnetic forces had been reported.The disappearance was not even the greatest disaster within the triangle.The Cyclops,a 19,000-ton US ship was sailing from Barbados to Norfolk,Virginia in March 1918,when it vanished with its crew of 309 from the surface of the ocean without making a distress call and without the slightest wreckage ev er being found.
The losses of boats and planes in that area defy explanation.The disasters are the origin of a new phrase in the English language-the Bermuda Triangle and this phrase has entered legend.The Bermuda Triangle has been called the Devils'Triangle,the Triangle of Death,the Graveyard of the Atlantic.It has swallowed up 140 ships and planes and more than 1,000 people.Today many airmen and sailors are still afraid of that area of the Atlantic Ocean.
21.How many plane(s) were sent to look for the US bombers on 5 December 1945?B
A.None.
B.One.
C.Five.
D.Six.
22.In the passage,"the Cyclops"is the name ofC.
A.a(chǎn)n undersea creature                
B.a(chǎn) brave sailor      
C.a(chǎn) large boat                               
D.a(chǎn) lost plane
23.Where is the Bermuda Triangle?B
A.In Europe                               
B.In the Atlantic Ocean   
C.In North America                    
D.In South America
24.The text suggests thatD.
A.People have solved the mystery of the disappearance of planes and ships
B.Airmen and sailors usually bury their dead in the area
C.Nobody believes the stories any more
D.The legend of the Bermuda Triangle is not over yet.

分析 本文主要報道了百慕大三角洲的傳說.

解答 21.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)句子A reconnaissance plane was immediately sent off to search for the missing planes.一架偵察機(jī)立即被派去尋找失蹤的飛機(jī).所以答案選B.
22.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)句子The Cyclops,a 19,000-ton US ship was sailing from Barbados to Norfolk,一個19000噸的美國軍艦正從巴巴多斯駛往Norfolk,可見是一艘船的名字,所以答案選C.
23.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)句子The Bermuda Triangle has been called the Devils'Triangle,the Triangle of Death,the Graveyard of the Atlantic.百慕大三角區(qū)被稱為魔鬼三角,死亡三角,大西洋的墓地.可見在大西洋,故答案選B.
24.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一句Today many airmen and sailors are still afraid of that area of the Atlantic Ocean.今天許多空軍和海軍仍然擔(dān)心大西洋地區(qū)的海洋.可見百慕大三角區(qū)的傳說還沒有結(jié)束.所以答案選D.

11.Most of my friends are moving outside the city..to avoid the noise,smog,traffic,and crime of the city.
One friend says,"The air is heavily polluted in the city,so I prefer to live outside,where the air is clean."
Another friend is unpleased with the traffic,"Downtown is crowded with cars!You can't find a parking place,and the traffic jams are terrible."Everyone is worried about crime,"The city is full of criminals-it's toodangerous."
For them,the rural(鄉(xiāng)村的) life is a cure for all problems,green grass,flowers,swimming pools,barbecues,and so on.Yet after they have lived there for a year or so,they realize that rural life is not so pleasant as they were expecting.Why?Their gardens!They soon learn that the main part of rural life is yard work.After they work all weekend in their gardens,they're too tired to swim in their pools or cook some meat on their barbecues.And they can't live in the countryside without a car.Most of them moved to the countryside to avoid traffic,but now they're blocked on a busy freeway two hours every day to drive to work downtown.
My opinions about urban life are different-I love to live downtown!Why?First,in the city,I can enjoy nature.I can walk through the park.smell.the flowers,sit on the grass and visit the animals in the zoo.Yet I don't have to do yard work or feed the animals.Also,I can get everywhere by bus; if there is a traffic jam,I can walk home.I think the criminal life will reflect changes in society too; if people are buying homes outside the city,the criminals will soon follow.Criminals want to avoid noise,smog,and pollution,too.Then,overcrowding and crime will be problems of the suburbs instead of the city!
