In 1924, Frederick Mitchell-Hedges led a team to Lubaantun, an ancient Mayan (玛雅人的) city in modern-day Belize, a country in Central America. There, his daughter, Anna, found one of the most mysterious objects in history: a crystal skull (水晶头骨) that looked like a perfect human head. After that, more crystal skulls appeared in a short period across Europe and North America.

For years, those mysterious crystal skulls have caused a lot of discussion. Even now, no one knows exactly who made them, and no one can say when.

Some people believe the Mesoamerican (中美洲的) people made the skulls thousands of years ago. Some stories say they have special powers (能力), such as the ability to make sick people well. Moviemakers love these stories. In the 2008 movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the skulls had great powers. In the movie, a crystal skull is actually the head of an alien.

However, most scientists don't believe these stories. They think the skulls are more modern. Scientists have found marks on the skulls that they believe only more modern technology could make. Because of this, scientists are certain the skulls are not thousands of years old. Instead, they think the skulls are from the 19th century. Scientists also point to the British Museum's research — researchers have found many Mesoamerican objects, but they have never found a crystal skull. Scientists say this is also evidence to show they are not really Mesoamerican.

Until we know more about the skulls, the mystery — and the debate (争论) — will continue.

( )21. Who found the first crystal skull?

A. Anna. B. Frederick. C. The Mayan people. D. The Mesoamerican people.

( )22. According to some stories, the crystal skulls _______.

A. were made by aliens B. could make people sick

C. were the heads of aliens D. could help people get better

( )23. What have the scientists found about the crystal skulls?

A. They weren't made of real crystal. B. They were made in the same country.

C. They are typical Mesoamerican objects. D. They have a shorter history than people think.

( )24. The underlined word "evidence" means "_______" in Chinese.

A. 机会 B. 观点 C. 证据 D. 成就

( )25. What is the passage mainly about?

A. What the crystal skulls are. B. Who made the crystal skulls.

C. The debate about the crystal skulls. D. The importance of the crystal skulls.

You may often hear some myths（传言）about animals. For example，one dog year equals about seven human years，chameleons（变色龙）change color to match their environment..Today，let's talk about birds. It is said that if you touch a baby bird，the parents will completely abandon（抛弃）it. Do you really believe it？

In fact，most birds have a very poor sense of smell，so in most cases are unable to even notice the smell of humans on baby birds. Not only that，but most types of birds aren't so quick to abandon their young when they sense danger. Some types will even do their best to protect their young when they are in danger.

Indeed，in very few known cases，parent birds sometimes abandoned their nests from something touching their young，just because they noticed it by sight，not smell. When this happens，the parent birds usually won't care，other than to be a little more careful than normal. Sometimes，they may temporarily（暂时地）abandon the nest in order to better watch whatever disturbed their nest comes back.

What's more，in most cases，even if the nest is destroyed by wind or something to that effect，you could create a new one and put all the baby birds back in it，and when the parents came back，they wouldn't care their baby birds were in a different nest，so long as you put the new nest near where the old one was so they can find it.

( )26.Which of the following is true ？

A. Birds have a very good sense of smell. B.A baby bird will die soon if it is touched by someone.

C. Whatever disturbed the nest will never come back. D. Some birds will protect their babies when they are in danger.

( )27.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to？

A. Their nest. B. Their baby. C. Some birds abandoning their nests. D. Something touching their young.

( )28.The parent birds if we make a new nest for baby birds to take the place of the old one.

A. will never come back B. will worry about their babies C. won't mind D. will take their babies away

( )29.Which of the following shows the structure（结构）of the passage？

（①=Paragraph 1（第一段），②=Paragraph 2.…）

A B C D

( )30.What is the best title of this passage？

A .Bird Truth B. Baby Birds C. Bird Nests D. Bird Smell

When I was about six years old，1 was sure that space aliens had entered my bedroom. One peaceful night，I was in bed，trying to sleep.

I don't know how many times my parents came to my bedroom that night. I only remember that none of us could sleep well because of the voices.32__________"There must be someone hiding in my bedroom，perhaps an alien！"I thought to myself.

The next night，the same whispering sound came again. Although I was scared，I decided to find the "alien".

33.__________Finally，I found it. However，it wasn't the alien that I expected，but an old broken radio in my bookcase.34.__________ Even so，that experience helped me to create a lifelong interest in UFOs and aliens.

When I was in Grade 5，astronauts were being sent into space for the first time. Almost every night，I would look out of my bedroom's window and search the sky for UFOs. 35 .__________They were really beautiful and amazing，and maybe the aliens would agree with me.
