    There was great interest when a big hole mysteriously appeared in the middle of a field. Engineers were called in to explain how it had got there. They offered various explanations but were not at all sure how the hole had been caused, it was thought that a large bomb which came suddenly exploded, but it was not possible to prove this. A simple, but highly improbable explanation was offered by a man who declares to know well about “flying saucers”; the strange objects which are round in shape and are said to visit the earth from outer space. The man’s explanation may have been nonsense (胡说八道), but at least it was imaginative. At any rate, it was far more interesting than the one given by the army.
    After examining the ground carefully the man declared to have seen special marks on the soil quite near the hole, these, he said, could only have been caused by a flying saucer. Moreover the leaves on some bushes nearby had turned yellow because of a strange hot gas which had come from the saucer just before it landed. Even a small tree some way off appeared to have been burnt slightly. A small piece of metal found in the hole itself gave further proof that a strange object had been there. According to the man, it was quite clear that people from another world had been going around the earth trying to pick up information, when something had gone wrong. Because of this they had been forced to land in a field so that the damage could be repaired. The hole had been caused when the saucer struck the earth, while the strange marks nearby were made when it took off again. This, said the man, was the simplest explanation of how the hole had appeared. Judging from the interest the public took in the matter, there must be quite a few people who secretly believe or hope that this simple explanation is the true one.

    A．A mysterious hole in a field.B．Various explanations offered by experts.

    IS THERE LIFE ON EARTH?

    There was great excitement on the planet of Venus(金星) this week. For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.?

    The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan (named after the great Venusian astronomer Prof. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20 000 light years ago).Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to feasibility(可行性) of a manned flying saucer(飞碟) landing on Earth.A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.?

    “We have come to the conclusion,based on last week's satellite landing,” Pro. Zog said,“that there is no life on the Earth.”?

    “How do you know this?” the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked. ?

    “For one thing, Earth's surface in the area of Manhattan is composed of solid concrete(混凝土)and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide(一氧化碳) and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive.”?

    “What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?”?

    “We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means a much heavier flying saucer than we originally planned. ”

    “Are there any other hazards that you discovered in your studies?”?

    “Take a look at this photo. You see this dark cloud floating over the surface of Earth? We call this the Consolidated Edison Belt. We don't know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venus Being there.”?

    “If what you say is true, won't this set back the flying saucer program several years?”?

    “Yes, but we shall proceed as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds.”?

    “Prof. Zog, why are we spending billions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth when there is no life there?”?

    “Because if we Venusians can learn to breathe in an Earth atmosphere, then we can live anywhere.”

    During the week of great excitement the Venusian scientists succeeded in getting important information on whether they can_______.

    A. land a satellite with Venus astronauts on Earth

    B. make a first?rate flying saucer?

    C. get a Earth Being to Venus

    D. direct a flying saucer into Manhattan?

    According to Prof.Zog,the Venusians will have to take their own oxygen with them when they carry out their flying saucer program because_______.?

    A. they need it on their way to the planet of Earth?

    B. the Earth's atmosphere is filled with deadly gases?

    C. oxygen is far from enough in the area of Manhattan where the saucer is to land?

    D. there is no air on the planet of Earth?

    The “dark black cloud” on the photograph refers to_______.?

    A. the polluted air floating over the surface of Earth?

    B. the mass of tiny drops of water floating above Earth?

    C. the things that are unknown to everybody?

    D. the dark clouds gathering before a storm breaks?

    The author wishes to call our attention to the fact_______.?

    A. that modern man has polluted his environment to such an extent that he might destroy himself if he went on like this?

    B. that there is no point in spending billions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth?

    C. that pollution has become so serious a problem on Earth that even Venusians find life there unbearable?

    D. that it is difficult, if not altogether impossible, to land a manned flying saucer on Earth
