　　.阅读理解

　　A

　　In the summer of 1978 an English farmer was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered that some

　　of his wheat was lying flat on the ground.The flattened wheat

　　formed a circle about six meters across.Around this circle were

　　four smaller circles of flattened wheat.The five circles were in a formation like five

　　dots.During the following years，farmers in England found the strange circles in their fields more and more often.

　　The circles are called “crop circles”because they appear in the fields of grain－usually wheat or corn.The grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but is never broken；it continues to grow，and farmers can later harvest it.Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning，so the circles probably form at night.They appear only in the months from May to September.

　　At first，people thought that the circles were a hoax.Probably young people were making them as a joke，or farmers were making them to attract tourists.To prove that the circles were a hoax，people tried to make circles exactly like the ones that farmers had found.They couldn't do it.They couldn't enter a field of grain without leaving tracks，and they couldn't flatten the grain without breaking it.

　　Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles to communicate with us from far away and that the crop circles are messages from them.

　　Scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities.Some scientists say that a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circles－the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash.Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear.There is one problem with all these scientific explanations：crop circles often appear in formations，like the five­dot formation.It is hard to believe that any natural force could form those.

　　语篇解读：在英国发现了神秘的“麦田怪圈”现象。由于“怪圈”大多是一夜之间形

　　成的，而且面积很大，有人认为它是外星人的杰作，是他们与地球上居民的一种联系方式，也有人认为这是一些人的恶作剧。

　　How to Be a Winner

　　Sir Steven Redgrave

　　Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals

　　“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病).Believing my career (职业生涯) was over，I felt extremely low.Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing.That was it —the encouragement I needed.I could still be a winner if I believed in myself.I am not saying that it isn't difficult sometimes.But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't finished yet.Nothing is to stand in my way.”

　　Karen Pickering

　　Swimming World Champion

　　“I swim 4 hours a day,6 days a week.I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary.This is the key to success—you can't follow a career in any field without being well­organized.List what you believe you can achieve.Trust yourself，write down your goals for the day，however small they are，and you'll be a step closer to achieving them.”

　　Kirsten Best

　　Poet & Writer

　　“When things are getting hard，a voice inside my head tells me that I can't achieve something.Then，there are other distractions，such as family or hobbies.The key is to concentrate.When I feel tense，it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’，‘peace’ or ‘focus’，either out loud or silently in my mind.It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence.This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological (心理的) tool.”

　　I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened.Looking down，I immediately recognized that something was wrong，and ran down to the edge of the near bank.There I saw Ma Shwe with her three­month­old calf struggling in the fast­rising water，and it was a life­and­death struggle.Her calf was floating and screaming with fear.Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get，holding her whole body against the rushing water，and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body.Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.

　　There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone.Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk (象鼻) against the rocky bank.Then with a huge effort，she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.

　　Just at this moment，she fell back into the river.If she were carried down，it would be certain death.I knew，as well as she did，that there was one spot (地点) where she could get up the bank，but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.

　　While I was wondering what I could do next，I heard the sound of a mother's love.Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could，roaring (吼叫) all the time，but to her calf it was music.

　　A.A Mother's Love

　　B.A Brave Act

　　C.A Deadly River

　　D.A Matter of Life and Death

　　解析：主旨大意题。全文讲述了一头母象不顾自身的安危营救一头小象的经过，赞美了母爱的力量。最后一段中的“I heard the sound of a mother's love”一句揭示了文章的主题，因此A作为标题非常贴切。
