Some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground. The 2 wheat formed a circle about six meters 3 . Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. The five circles were in a formation 4 five dots on dice.
Three years later a farmer who lived nearby discovered similar circles in one of his fields. These circles were 5 —nearly 15 meters across.
That same year, yet another English farmer discovered three circles of flattened wheat on his land—one large circle 6 two small circles.
During the 7 years, farmers in England found the mysterious circles in their fields more and more often. In 1987 they discovered 50 circles; in 1988, 98 circles; and in 1989, 270 circles.
The circles are called “crop circles” because they appear in fields of grain—usually wheat or corn.
The grain in the circles lies flat 8 but is never broken: it continues to grow horizontal, and farmers can later 9 it.
Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles. Some think that the beings are trying to communicate 10 us from far away and that the crop circles are messages from them.
11 believe that the beings have actually landed on earth and that the circles are 12 left by their spaceships. Several times people reported 13 strange flying objects near fields where crop circles later appeared.
Scientists who have studied the crop circles say they're not sure what 14 them. They 15 several theories.
For example, some scientists say that “microburst” of wind create the circles. A microburst is a 16 rush of cool air—the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash.
Other scientists say that forces 17 the earth cause the circles to appear.
Experts from 18 have studied them. What do the experts 19 the crop circles? They say what Lan Stevens said: “They don't know how 20 these things.”

Food production will 42 , but not enough to feed all the people . Farmers will grow 90% more food than they did in 1985, 43 most of the increase would be in countries that

More farmland is 47 as cities become larger and more houses are built . 48 will get worse as industrial countries burn more coal and oil .Many of the world’s 49 could disappear as more and more trees are cut down .

The Orkney Islands are about 14 kilometres from the north coast of Scotland. They are mostly low-lying, except for Hoy which has the highest sea cliff(峭壁) in Britain. The 1 and the climate are good in Orkney, 2 there are a lot of farms.
To get to Orkney you have to fly or go by 3 . Ships bringing passengers come from Aberdeen every week. They also bring food, machines and so on. Most Orkney farmers 4 cows or sheep.

Many people in the Orkney Islands are fishermen. Some go a long way out to 9 to catch large fish, 10 others catch 11 like crabs(螃蟹) and lobsters(龙虾)，near the shore.

Some people may defend themselves by saying that snake meat is nutritious（有营养的）. But these people don’t realize that mice and worms often comprise a snake’s diet, therefore, there are many parasites（寄生虫）found inside snakes. Thus, they may do harm to our health. Apart from this, I’m sorry to see that more and more snakes are being killed by man’s cruel knife.
According to the English newspaper Shanghai Star, about 1, 000 tons of snakes are eaten every year in China. In Shenzhen of Guangdong Province, sometimes as many as 10 tons of snakes are served on dinner tables in a single day.
These figures alert us that if we still turn blind eyes to this continuous movement against snakes, a vicious cycle will be created. If more snakes are eaten by people, the number of snakes will drop, which will make an increase in mice and worms population, which will result in a decrease of crop output. This will make more people hungry.
Who will see such tragedy happen?
So let’s start not to eat snakes any more because “to protect the snake is to protect ourselves”.
1．This passage tries to advice people ________.
A．to keep ourselves healthy
B．to protect snakes and not to eat them
C．to protect mice and worms
D．not to eat mice and worms
2．The parasites in the snake come from ________.
A．its diet
B．mice
C．worms
D．snake meat
3．What will happen if we continue eating snakes?
A．More snakes will be eaten.
B．A vicious cycle will be created.
C．More people will turn blind eyes to it.
D．Mice will damage the crops.
4．The vicious cycle may be like this: ________.
A．more snakes→more mice and worms→less crop output
B．less snakes→more mice and worms→more crop output
C．less snakes→more mice and worms→less crop output
D．more snakes→less mice and worms→more crop output
5．The best title of this passage is ________.
A．Snake Meat in Various Flavors
B．Protect the Snake Is to Protect Ourselves
C．Eating Snakes in Vogue
D．Let’s Not Eat Snakes Any More
