Many scientists work really hard to find out how these amazing works came out. Unfortunately, until now, no one could tell clearly how these circles are formed.

In general,there are the following explanations:the first one is the earth’s magnetism（地磁）, which is said that it is the magnetism form the earth that makes them. The second explanation is the effect of tornado（龙卷风）. The third one thinks these circles are the predictions of some kind of disaster. Also, some people believe it’s a great work from the creature outside the earth.And the last one is that some think they are made by human beings as a trick.

In a word, people still cannot tell exactly how those circles appeared. As the time goes, I believe that one day we could find out the reason why they are formed.

【2】in Britain in 1972

【3】five

【4】be found out

【5】Crop Circle

【解析】

麦田怪圈1647年首次出现在英格兰，但是没有引起太大注意。现代首次出现麦田怪圈是1972年在英国。从那开始，世界各地出现超过200个麦田怪圈。很多科学家都不知道这是怎么产生的，至今也很难解释。

【1】根据Crop Circle（麦田怪圈), first appeared in 1647 in England on the earth, has a lone history with 365 years.可知首次出现麦田怪圈是在365年前，可推测现在时1647+365=2012年，即报道的时间是2012年。故答案为in 2012。

【2】根据But t didn’t get much attention until the first modern crop circles appeared in Britain in 1972.可知现代的麦田怪圈1972年首次出现在英国。故答案为in Britain in 1972。

【3】根据第三段the first…the second…the third…Also…the last可知一共出现了5种解释。故答案为five。

【4】根据As the time goes, I believe that one day we could find out the reason why they are formed.

可知作者认为随着时间，最终有一天一定会找到真相。故答案为be found out。

【5】结合全文内容可知本文主要介绍了麦田怪圈，并介绍了可能的一些原因。故答案为Crop Circle。
