   On August 17,2013,a hunter made a campfire. He just wanted to 41 some soup. But he 42 started the third-largest wildfire in California's history.

   The 43 carried sparks(火花) from the hunter's campfire into the woods. Soon,a wildfire was burning 44 . It spread with 45 speed. For a while,it doubled in size every day.

   The blaze(烈火) became known as the Rim Fire. It lasted for two months. Thousands of 46 worked to stop it. When they finally did,400 square miles of forest had 47 . That's an area larger than Dallas,Texas.

   In the past,people often 57 in wildfires. Today,wildfires are 58 deadly. Early warnings usually help people get to safety before it's too 59 . Even though the Rim Fire 60 11 homes and caused millions of dollars in damage,no one was killed.

If aliens ever sent us a message,scientists hope to pick it up in a distant part of northern California.

There,in a place among the volcanoes of the Cascade Range,42 radio dishes point together at the sky. The dishes,each 20 feet across,form a single,huge scientific instrument called the Allen Telescope Array. Scientists built them to receive radio signals— the sort of message that could answer a very important question: Are we the only intelligentlife in this vast universe?

“It's a question humans have been asking forever,” observes astronomer Jill Tarter. Until recently,she led the SETI (Search for Extra-Terres-trial (外星的) Intelligence) ,Institute in Calif. “We read these ancient texts,and the ancient Greeks,the Romans,the Chinese —they were all wondering how we humans fit into the universe. ”

While the question is ancient,our understanding of the universe has changed over the centuries. We now know that stars do not hang from the sky like fruit on a tree. We also know Earth moves around the Sun and not the other way around. But we still don't know if life exists elsewhere. If aliens do exist,does it have the technology to communicate with us on Earth?

If so,the Allen Telescope Array is listening,day and night,for some signal. From time to time,the dishes turn toward a new patch of the sky. The array has not yet picked up any alien calls.

But that has hardly frustrated scientists. The search for life elsewhere in the universe continues to prove irresistible (无法抗拒的) to experts in a wide variety of fields,from biology to astronomy,and from psychology to computer science. And they’re not just looking for aliens that can communicate: Many researchers believe that simpler,microscopic alien life might be hiding on some distant planet.

Even if their search has yet to turn up any aliens,it has led to some surprising discoveries —including some right here on Earth. If anything,the search for extraterrestrial (外星人) life has become a lot more exciting. Perhaps it's just a matter of time until we discover we’re not alone.

51. Why did scientists build the Allen Telescope Array?

   A. To keep a record of the volcanoes.

   B. To pick up messages from aliens.

   C. To send up radio signals.

   D. To keep in touch with aliens.

52. From what Jill said,we know ancient people.

   A. described the existence of aliens in texts

   B. compared stars to fruit on a tree

   C. didn't believe humans to be alone

   D. didn^ know how to fit humans into the universe 53. It is implied in the sixth paragraph that .

   A. aliens may live in many different places

   B. aliens like to hide in a secret place

   C. aliens may understand the science of astronomy

   D. aliens may not have the ability of communication

54. The writer's attitude towards the existence of aliens was.

   A. positive   B. doubtful

   C. neutral   D. disapproving

55. The main idea of the passage is that.

   A. humans are not alone at all in the universe

   B. scientists search for aliens in space

   C. alien calls haven’t been received so far

   D. California is a base to welcome aliens

So Mrs Harris said, Yes,Til invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December."

“How many will that be?” Mr Harris asked. “Don’t invite too many. ”

Mrs Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, "Party: 6:30 p. m. to 8:30 p. m. ”

“That isn’t very nice,is it?” he said. “You’re telling our guests that they must go at 8:30 p. m. ” So Mrs Harris just wrote ,“Party: 6:30 p. m. ”

A lot of guests came,and they all had a good time,so they did not go home at 8: 30 p. m. In fact,they were still there at mid-night when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making a noise,because someone has complained (抱怨)."

Planning a trip to Japan? No doubt you’ve planned visits to key attractions in Tokyo,Osaka,or other major cities. Any major city can offer more enjoyable sites than you’ll have time to see. A number of travel agencies can provide lists of hotspots for shopping,nightlife and fine dining unlike any other place on earth.

Having travelled in large cities,and the countryside,I feel like sharing a few thoughts with first-time visitors to Japan. If you wish to have a true cultural experience then nothing beats visiting the countryside,where there are rental (出租) car companies specialising in serving tourists though no tour buses stop. Don’t worry about running on the “wrong side” as you’ll quickly become used to it.

Precautions (告诫) :YouMl need to take a ^personal adventure level” reading before starting this trip. Unless you speak some Japanese,communication will be very limited. Most Japanese do not speak conversational English. This is especially true once you leave the cities behind. Lodging,dining and even getting gas will take more effort. It was challenging but just as rewarding;I do suggest that others learn some Japanese first,though.

Benefits: Even if you travel for a short time in the rural country,you will have many exciting stories unmatched by any friends who stayed on guided city tours. The best part is --Ican't tell you what they’ll be. Do make an effort to communicate with those around you. You will find that as a whole the Japanese are very welcoming to foreign visitors. Along your country journey you’ll find people who have never met a foreigner and have many questions for you,shops selling items you have never seen and restaurants with short menus serving delicious Japanese food. It's these simple people you’ll meet that you’ll most remember.

46. For whom is the passage written?

   A. Visitors who want to do shopping in Japan.

   B. Visitors who want to enjoy nightlife in Japan.

   C. Visitors who want to learn about Japanese culture.

   D. Visitors who want to enjoy natural beauty in Japan.

47. How can you visit small towns in Japan?

   A. By tour bus. B. By car.

   C. On foot. D. By bike.

48. To make your visits to small towns pleasant,you are advised to .

   A. choose a better travel agency

   B. read as many books about Japan as possible

   C. learn about some rules for lodging and dining

   D. learn some Japanese to make communication easier

   A. will bring you many unexpected surprises

   B. will be interesting with a guide leading you

   C. is often well planned and organised

   D. will make sure you get the best service
