When it rises again the following morning, that field1 has been changed into a huge work of art. A large part of the crop has been pressed into a patter of circles,squares and other shapes. Farmers have reported finding strange circles in their fields for centuries. The earliest mention of a crop circle dates back to the 1600s, Crop circles, however, didn't get attention until 1980, when a farmer in England discovered three circles in his field. The world first began to learn about crop circles. By the 1990s, crop circles had become something of a tourist attraction. In 1990 alone, more than 500circles appeared in Europe. Within the next few years, there were thousands of circles. Crop circles can come in many different shapes, changing in size. Most early crop circles were simple.But after 1990, the circles changed. Crops can be made to look like just about anything-smiling faces,flowers or even words. People have long been wondering who or what is creating these crop circles. Possibly the most widely known idea is that crop circles are the work of visitors from other planets. Probably the most scientific opinion is that crop circles are created by vortexes（涡旋）.They force the air down to the ground, which presses the crops down. Dr. Terence Meaden, an expert, says when the dust （沙尘）gets caught up in a vortex, it can appear to glow（发光）,which may explain the UFO-like glowing lights many people have seen.

( ) 17.When did the world become interested in crop circles? A.In the 1600s. B.After 1980. C.In 1900. D.After 1990. ( )18.Which of the following is TRUE about crop circles? A. Early crop circles were very small in size. B.Large crop circles were usually round in shape. C. Crop circles of all kinds began to appear after 1990. D.Flower-shaped crop circles were first found in the 1500s. ( )19.Which point do you think Dr. Terence Meaden would agree with? A. Crop circles may be man-made. B. Crop circles could be marks left by aliens. C. The UFO-like light could be caused by dust. D.Vortexes are sure to create perfectly shaped crop circles. ( )20.What is the structure of the passage? A.①/②③/④/⑤⑥ B.①②③/④/⑤⑥ C.①/②③④⑤⑥ D.①/②/③④⑤⑥ D When you think about a Hawaiian holiday, you probably think about relaxing on the beach with a drink in your hand and the sun on your skin.
