[单项选择]In the summer of 1978 an English farmer was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered that some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground. The flattened wheat formed a circle about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. The five circles were in a formation like five dots. During the following years, farmers in England found the strange circles in their fields more and more often.
The circles are called "crop circles" because they appear in the fields of grain--usually wheat or corn.

A. some of his wheat had been damaged

The familiar sounds of an early English summer are with us once again. Millions of children sit clown to SATs, GCSEs, AS-levels, A-levels and a host of lesser exams, and the argument over educational standards starts. Depending on whom you listen to, we should either be letting up on over-examined pupils by abolishing SATs, and even GCSEs, or else making exams far more rigorous.

If pass rates drop, they will say that standards are falling because children are getting lower marks. Parents like myself try to ignore this and base our judgements on what our children are learning. But it’s not easy given how much education has changed since we were at school.
Some trends are encouraging—education has been made more relevant and enthuses many children that it would hav
A. SATs is one of the most rigorous exams mentioned
B. it has been debated if children should be given exams
C. few parents approve of the exam systems in England
D. each year children have to face up to some new exams
[单项选择]At a summer school in English for Europeans who are studying English, twelve of the students have been invited to take part in the game of Twenty Questions. Mr. Green explains the rules.
Mr. Green: You all know something about the game, I am sure. You have probably heard this game in the B B C English by radio programs. Perhaps you’ve heard broadcasts of it here in England. But I’d better say a few words about it. I am going to think of something. You are going to try to find what I have thought of. You will be allowed to ask twenty questions. If you find the answer within twenty questions, or in a smaller number, you will win. If you don’t, I win. You are not allowed to ask any special questions. You can ask questions that I can answer by "Yes" or "No". You can ask questions with an "or" in the middle. For example, "Is it wet or dry " I shall give you one piece of information. I shall tell you what I am thinking of; the object is either animal, vegetable or mineral.
