It can be seen on a map by drawing lines connecting the islands of Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Florida. In this area, many ships and planes have vanished. But no one knows exactly where they were. The earliest reports of missing ships there came from the middle of the 19th century. People found ships there that had no people on them. Some ships were never found. Planes also began going missing in the 20th century. One famous event was about Flight 19. On 5 December 1945, five US military planes (军用飞机) flew together. One pilot reported his compass was not working correctly. Then, all the pilots got lost. Even a plane sent to help them also went missing. In the mid-20th century, writers began to write exciting stories about the mysteries there, which made the area even more mysterious. Actually, different people have different ideas about the Bermuda Triangle. Some people say aliens (外星人) did everything. Others think there is something wrong with time and space in the area. Some even believe an old, lost city under the sea called Atlantis is there and that its technology makes ships and planes go missing. However, scientists say the disappearances have normal reasons. They say very bad storms often happen there. Also, the Earth’s magnetic field (磁场) is different in the Bermuda Triangle. This can make compasses show the wrong way. Scientists also say fewer disappearances happen now. This is probably because we have improved technology today to deal with the problems in this area. However, the Bermuda Triangle still makes people ask questions and guess. We may never know all its mysteries. ( ) 33. What does the underlined word “vanished” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Improved. B.

There is still a long way to go to solve the mysteries there. D. People no longer think the Bermuda Triangle is mysterious. ( ) 36. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? (①= Paragraph 1,....) D Do you have difficulty remembering things? Do you want to know how to improve your memory? The human brain is very small and light. It is only 2% of our total body weight, but it needs about 20% of the oxygen (氧气) that our bodies take in. We can’t think well if our brains aren’t getting enough oxygen, so we should always make sure there’s enough oxygen in the air when we need to remember something! How can you improve your memory? Here are some suggestions. · When you want to remember something, tell someone about it. This way the new information becomes easier to remember. Later on, thinking about the conversation will make you think of the thing · Our memory works well when we're asleep. If you want to remember something, try going to sleep right after learning it. · If you have to remember something big, break it down into small parts. It’s easier to remember 198756430387 if you break it into four small parts: 198-756-430-387. · If you want to remember some information but you can’t, don’t get angry.

She opened the fridge, and saw it was full of FLOWERS. She decided to wear her GLOVES and leave the house.
