7.Visitors from space may have landed on our planet dozens, even hundreds of times during the long, empty ages while Man was still a dream of the distant future. Indeed, they could have landed on 90 percent of the earth as recently as two or three hundred years ago, and we could never have heard of it. If one searches through old newspapers and local records, one can find many reports of strange incidents that could be interpreted as visits from outer space. A stimulating writer, Charles Fort, has made a collection of UFO sighting in his book! One is tempted to believe them more than any modern reports, for the simple reason that they happened long before anyone had ever thought of space travel. Yet at the same time, one can"t take them too seriously, for before scientific education was widespread, even sightings of meteors, comets, auroras, and so on, gave rise to the most incredible stories, as they still do today.

According to the passage, visitors from space may have landed on the earth ______.

A．long before man had dreamed of it
B．long before there were human beings

D．a(chǎn)fter the space age began

13.When a student, I was a member of the collegiate basketball team. It was mainly composed of bookish students. Only one could be counted as natural athlete, another half-qualified. That"s why we were defeated nine out of ten games. Our spirits, however, had never dampened, for we were a cheerful team. None would strive to get into the spotlight when we were gaining the upper hand; nor would we blame each other when we were losing. Thus a cordial relationship between members prevailed in our team. Most recommendable of all was our morale which never lowered. Our sportsmanship also remained good. We persisted in carrying on to the last when suffering great loss. We knew we had done our best, showing no regret at failure. To the rest of the students our team was a good one though it lost the game. They kept encouraging us and none of them was disappointed.
  Recently I have avoided watching games, not even at a TV live coverage, still less to the match in person. That"s because I know I couldn"t control myself. When watching a match, I"ll inevitably take sides and be emotionally involved, strongly wishing for the triumph of the side over its opponent. As I often side with the "weaker" in a match, watching it will only spell worry and misery for me.
  Not long ago when I accompanied my wife to a super world tennis match my horizons broadened as regards sports competition. It seemed to me that wins and losses were relative and transient. What mattered was the ever-higher level achieved through contest. Victory was a result of all the efforts made by both sides. As one of the audience, I should applaud the energetic performance of both to the neglect of the result. Why should I regard the contest as a life-and-death struggle, the winner as survival and the loser as dead?

The basketball team was often defeated because ______.

A．the team members didn"t know how to play basketball
B．the team members were students who only know how to study book knowledge
C．there were only one or two members who were qualified for basketball
D．the morale of the team was low

14.
Which of the following is true according to the article?

A．The basketball team was often defeated so their feelings were miserable.
B．When they lost a match, they always complained about each other.
C．They were not in good relationship with each other.
D．They had a good sportsmanship even when they lost.

15.
Why does the author avoid watching games recently?

A．Because the stadium is far from his home.
B．Because he can"t endure the team he supports being defeated.
C．Because if his team is defeated, he will worry.
D．Because he often watches the matches on TV at home.

16.
What does "spell" in the last sentence of the second paragraph most probably mean?

A．Write out
B．A period of time
C．A curse
D．Lead to

17.

19.Tom Smith was a writer. He wrote detective stories for magazines. One evening he could not find an end for a story. He sat with his typewriter in front of him, but he had no ideas. So he decided to go to the cinema.
  When he came back, he found that he had had a visitor. Someone had broken into his flat. The man had had a drink, smoked several of Tom"s cigarettes--and had read his story. The visitor left Tom a note.

25.This is supposed to be an enlightened age, but you wouldn"t think so if you could hear what the average men think of the average women. Women won their independence years ago. After a long, biter struggle, they now enjoy the same educational opportunities as men in most parts of the world. They have proved repeatedly that they are equal and often superior to men in almost every field. The hard-fought battle for recognition has been won, but it is by no means over. It is men, not women who still carry on the sex war because their attitude remains basically hostile. Even in the most progressive societies, women continue to be regarded as second-rate citizens. Hearing some men talk, you"d think that women belong to a different species. On the surface, the comments made by men about women"s abilities seem light-heartiness does not conceal the real contempt (輕視) that men feel for women. However much men sneer at women, their claims to superiority are not borne out by statistics. We all know that women cause far fewer accidents than men. They are too careful and responsible to drive like menaces. But this is a minor quibble (雙關(guān)語). Women have succeeded in any job you care to name. As politicians, soldiers, doctors, bus-conductors, scientists and presidents of countries they have often put men to shame. And we must remember that they frequently succeed brilliantly in all these fields in addition to bearing and rearing children.

Which of the following statements in true?

A．Women"s struggle for recognition has been completely won.
