23、Treasure hunts have excited people’s imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues found in a book when he wrote a children’s story, Masquerade, in 1979. The book was about a rabbit, and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold rabbit in a park in Bedlordshire. The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the rabbit, but Williams put in a lot of “red herrings”, or false clues, to mislead them.

Ken Roberts, the man who found the rabbit, had been looking for it nearly two years. Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he found it by logic, not by luck. His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start. He had realized that the words “One of Six to Eight” under the first picture in the book connected the rabbit in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIII’s six wives. Even here, however, Williams had succeeded in misleading him. Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambrideshire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the rabbit there. He had been digging there for over a year before he came up with a new idea. He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill, in Bedfordshire, and thought that he must have buried the rabbit in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773.

Even then his search had not come to an end. It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there. Williams encouraged him to continue, and on February 24th 1982, he found the treasure. It was worth £3000 in the beginning, but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable.

【1】The underlined word “them” in paragraph 1 means .

A.readers of Masquerade B.treasure hunts

C.Henry VIII’s six wives D.red herrings

【2】What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the rabbit?

A.Two stone crosses in Ampthill B.Stevenson’s Treasure Island

C.Williams’ hometown. D.Katherine of Aragon

【3】The stone crosses in Ampthill were built .

A.to tell about what happened in 1773. B.to serve as a road sign in Ampthill Park.

C.to show respect for Henry VIII’s first wife. D.to inform people where the gold rabbit was.

【4】Which of the following describes Roberts’ logic in searching for the rabbit?

a. Henry VIII’s six wives b. Katherine’s burial place at Kimbolton

c. Williams’ childhood in Ampthill   d. Katherine of Aragon

e. stone crosses in Ampthill Park

A.a-b-c-e-d B.d-b-c-e-a C.b-a-e-c-d D.a-d-b-c-e

24、   On the night of September 19, 1961, Betty Hill and her husband Barney were driving home through the White Mountains from Niagara Falls. They were travelling on a nearly deserted two-lane highway when Betty noticed a steady light in the sky that was getting bigger and brighter.

She thought it was a planet or a star. Barney, stimulated at her excitement, said it was probably just a wandering aeroplane. Whatever it was, it appeared to be following them.

They stopped their car for a closer look. What they said happened next, changed their lives. The flying object was noiseless. It appeared to be spinning. It was as big as a jet but shaped like a pancake.

So formed the tale of Betty Hill, a New Hampshire social worker who, with Barney, a postal worker, claimed to be kidnapped by aliens, who were from outer space, on a moonlit night about 60 years ago.

After reluctantly going public with her experience, Hill, who died of cancer at her New Hampshire home, aged 85, became a celebrity on the UFO circuit and was known as the “first lady of UFOs”.

Intriguingly, at the time of the incident, the Hills remembered nothing except that they had spied a strange object in the sky. Later, troubled by nightmares and other stress-related pains, the couple underwent hypnosis(催眠) where the full story came out with the aid of Boston psychiatrist Benjamin Simon, an expert in medical hypnosis.

On their night of contact the Hills arrived home at 5 a.m., unable to account for two lost hours. They were also confused by the odd marks on their telescopes, deep signs on the tops of Barney’s best shoes, Betty’s torn dress and strange circular markings on their car that made the needle of a compass jump wildly.

After seeing them for six months, the psychiatrist concluded the Hills’ lost memory about the hours they lost on that night in 1961 “appeared to involve an amazing experience on the part of both of the Hills”. Whether the experience had been fantasy or reality, Simon could not say, but he said he was convinced they had not been lying. He guessed that it had been a kind of shared dream.

Reports of aliens capturing humans and taking them aboard oddly shaped spacecraft were “comparatively rare” before 1975. After a movie, “The UFO Incident”, about the Hills came out, however, such stories increased.

【1】When they saw the strange object in the sky, Barney and Betty Hill ______________.

A．were astonished at its strange flight and noise

B．regarded it as just a wandering car following them

C．realized immediately what the danger it might cause

D．showed curiosity in discovering what it really was

【2】The word “Intriguingly” in paragraph 6 most probably means “______________”.

A．Ridiculously

B．Temporarily

【3】The Hills later sought the help of a psychiatrist because ______________.

A．they had lots of secrets in their lives after the strange experience

B．their lives were greatly disturbed by the unexpected experience

C．they wanted to share their unforgettable experience with the expert

D．they hoped to forget completely what had happened to them

【4】This article was written in order to ______________.

A．describe an unusual event to the readers

B．convince readers of the existence of UFOs

C．record how people were caught by aliens

D．warn people of the dangers the UFOs cause
