The governments of many countries do not like to talk about this, but scientists in Spitsbergen in Norway think that they found a UFO．They said, “We thought at first that it was a Russian plane but now we are sure that it is not．We have never seen the 　　20　　 of this object anywhere before．In fact, we have no idea at all what it is．” (1) [　　] A． different B． particular C． special D． usual (2) [　　] A． words B． mysteries C． stories D． reports (3) [　　] A． creatures B． animals C． men D． scientists (4) [　　] A． London B． Scotland C． Ireland D． Wales (5) [　　] A． parents B． teachers C． classmates D． friends (6) [　　] A． tell B． say C． draw D． describe (7) [　　] A． followed B． caught C． frightened D． observed (8) [　　] A． disappeared B． sped up C． broke D． stopped (9) [　　] A． excited B． afraid C． puzzled D． anxious (10) [　　] A． Luckily B． Happily C． Suddenly D． Immediately (11) [　　] A． hat B． suit C． helmet D． coat (12) [　　] A． sound B． picture C． voice D． programme (13) [　　] A． came in B． went away C． flew away D． rushed away (14) [　　] A． noon B． midnight C． early morning D． late afternoon (15) [　　] A． jumped into B． broke up C． picked up D． pushed up (16) [　　] A． strong B． nice C． ordinary D． normal (17) [　　] A． ache B． cut C． hole D． wound (18) [　　] A． move B． talk C． shout D． stand (19) [　　] A． left it B． worked in C． went to sleep D． made friends with them (20) [　　] A． metal B． shape C． size D． light

Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．C;3．C;4．D;5．B;6．C;7．A;8．D;9．B;10．C;11．C;12．B;13．B;14．B;15．C;16．D;17．B;18．B;19．C;20．A;
解析：

(1)	原来叫作“飞行物”，后来叫“不明之物”，只是与原来的名词不同而已，并不是专门的或特别的名字。
(2)	stories与photographs并列，意指人们所讲述的事。reports如果与后面的of these spaceships连用，则意为“对这些飞船所进行的报道”，不合文意。
(3)	注意该词加了引号，后面也出现了这个词，如果用creature不需引号。
(4)	后面有“also lives in Wales”提示了答案。
(5)	与后面两句有联系。
(6)	与后面的drawings一致。
(7)	followed“跟踪”，后面也出现过几次。
(8)	此处意指：车停了下来，他们从车中跳出来。
(9)	此情此景，谁也会感到害怕。
(10)	像这种令人怕的怪事我们是不想见到的，所以选项A、B不对；immediately所描述的情景不符合，suddenly“突然”，符合句意。
(11)	根据前文的“It had a helmet”和该空格处后面的“with black glass at the front”可知。
(12)	该句意为“电视开着，却没有图像，仅是一些白色的光线。”
(13)	此处最好理解为“这个人离开了”，如果他进入房间来，就与后面的情况介绍有冲突了；rush away“匆匆离开”，情景太具体，也不适合当时的描述。
(14)	本题需要一定的常识，凡是目击UFOs的时间一般都是在夜间，否则不会注意到有光。空格前面的Not long before也要求后接一个时间点，所以要用midnight。
(15)	picked up与后面的put…on…在情节上有连续性。broke up“打碎”，pushed up“推上去”。
(16)	与后面的“although they were smaller”有转折之意，normal表示“正常人”。而ordinary却指“平凡的人”。
(17)	deep能修饰cut，表示“伤口深”。与前面的头撞到车窗上有联系。
(18)	此句的意思是：虽然她不说话，但我能看出她的想法。
(19)	与后面的“I woke up in my car．”有顺应关系。
(20)	此处指这个飞行物体的材料。
