单选题On the night of May 7,1942, a plane took off from an Air Force base in England to stop German fighters over the English Channel. Pilot of the plane was Captain Thomas Nash. Looking eastward, Nash saw twelve orange lights in a row ,moving at a fantastic rate of speed. As a sophisticated flyer, he had never seen anything like them. Thinking that they might be a new German weapon, he decided to chase them. But when he swung the plane around and headed directly for the lights, they vanished. 　　Captain Nash may have been the first to see such orange lights but he wasn''t the last. His experience was repeated several times by pilots during World War Ⅱin Europe and the Far East. What were they? No one knows for sure, but there is an interesting theory to explain them. According to this theory, the orange lights are space animals － animals specially adapted to life in the upper atmosphere just as some creatures are adapted to life at the bottom of the sea. These space animals, the theory says, live so far up in the atmosphere that they are invisible from earth. They feed in part on the air and partly on energy from sunlight. Being almost pure energy themselves ,they can adjust their bodies to glow at night. During the day they become invisible. 　　Before World War Ⅱ, continues the theory, there was little radiated energy available on the earth'' s surface. Then came the development of rockets, atomic reactors, and hydroelectric plants The space creatures are attracted by these sources of energy. At night when no energy emitted from sunlight, they go down into the lower levels to search a meal. They may even drift into the scope of human eyesight. This explains the fact that they have been sighted periodically from the earth since 1942.

单选题{{B}}Text 3{{/B}} At the European Commission in Brussels, they have a joke about the work interpreters do—Languages", they say, "have nothing to do with interpretation, it helps to know them. "Anyone thinking of becoming an interpreter would bear this so well in mind. Translating languages, especially in a political context, involves far more than mere linguistic ability. To work in an international organization, such as the United Nations, you need to be approved by one of the various international translators or 'interpreters' associations. To achieve this, you must experience rigorous and lengthy training, either at an accrediting organization's own school, or on a postgraduate course at university. But a qualification in languages is not the only route into the job. At London's University of Westminster, candidates get offered a place on the interpreter's course if they can show that they have {{U}}"lived a bit"{{/U}}, in the words of one lecture. Young people who have just left university often lack adequate experience of life. The University also looks for candidates who have lived for long time in the countries where their acquired languages are spoken. They are also expected to have wide cultural interests and a good knowledge of current affairs. This broad range of interests are essential in a job which can re- quire interpreting discussions of disarmament(裁军) on Monday, international fishing rights on Tues- day, multinational finance on Wednesday, and the building and construction industry on Thursday. Interpreters also rely on adrenaline(肾上腺素)—which is caused by the stress and challenges of the job—to keep them going through their demanding schedules. Many admit that they enjoy the buzz of adrenaline they get from the job, and it's known that their heart rates speed up while they are working. It's also a job With its own risks and excitement. Interpreters are needed in war zones as well as in centers of international diplomacy, like the U.N.

单选题{{B}}Text 3{{/B}} Cocktail refers to mixed alcoholic drink. There are many versions about its origin, the most authentic of which appears to be one about how in 1776 a bar in New York decorated itself with colorful cocktails to attract customers. One day, a local gentleman came with some friends to have a drink, After a few rounds he got slightly drunk and called a waitress to order a "cocktail". The resourceful waitress mixed a few drinks in a glass, added some water to weaken the solution so that it wouldn't knock the gentleman out, and stuck a feather to the side of the glass when she served it. The gentleman liked it so much that he regularly came for more, and that was how "cocktail" came into being and got spread around. Cocktail can be served all the year round, usually with ice cubes. There are dozens of different mixtures with different color and taste. Gin, whisky, vermouth, vodka, mint, wine, champagne etc. are usually used as base, with fruit juice such as orange, lemon, ginger, and then shaken to make a cocktail. Sometimes apiece of fruit like olive, cherry or berry is added for decoration. It is usually served in at a temperature from 10 to 20 degree in a big wine glass. As it is difficult to prepare and does not keep, and different people have different preferences, so real cocktail is rarely served even at cocktail parties. Food served with cocktail include peanuts, cheese, French fries, and fried prawn chips. Sometimes sandwiches, cakes and sausages are also served. They are picked up with toothpicks.
