A

An international panel of experts will re-examine all data gathered in the nearly two-month hunt for the missing Malaysia jet to ensure search crews have been looking in the right place, officials said Monday.

Senior officials from Malaysia, Australia and China met in the Australian capital to hash out the details of the next steps in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which will center around an expanded patch of seafloor in a remote area of the Indian Ocean off Western Australia.The area became the focus of the hunt after a team of analysts calculated the plane's most likely flight path based on satellite and radar data.Starting Wednesday, that data will be re-analyzed and combined with all information gathered thus far in the search, which hasn't turned up a single piece of debris (残骸) despite crews searching more than 4.6 million square kilometers of ocean.

"We've got to this stage of the process where it's very sensible to go back and have a look at all of the data that has been gathered, all of the analysis that has been done and make sure there's no flaws in it, the assumptions are right, the analysis is right and conclusions are right," Angus Houston, head of the search operation, told reporters in Canberra.

Investigators have been confused by a lack of hard data since the plane vanished (销声匿迹)on March 8 during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.A weeks’ long search for surface debris was called off last week after officials determined any debris that may have been floating has likely sunk.

"Unfortunately, all of that effort has found nothing," Australian Transport Minister Warren Truss said."We've been confident on the basis of the information provided that the search area was the right one, but in practice, that confidence has not been converted into discovering any trace of the aircraft." Houston has warned the underwater search is likely to drag on for up to a year.

56.What’s the meaning of the phrase “hash out” in Paragraph 2?

A.determine B.discuss C.deliver D.debate

57.What’s the purpose of the re-examination of all data by the experts?

A.To make assumptions and conclusions of the plane.

B.To check whether the searching is in right place. C.To encourage the searching crews.

D.To calculated the plane's most likely flight path.

58.Which of the statements is TRUE according to the two officials interviewed?

A.They didn’t think they can finish the task. B.There is something going wrong in the searching.

C.The searching crew are still confident after nearly two-month hunt.

D.The search for the missing jet will continue.

59.The main purpose of the passage is to inform us of _______.

A.the likeliest fly path based on satellite and radar data B.the wrong area for MH370 searching

C.the further information about the Missing Malaysia Airlines

D.the final result of the searching

The Great Barn Adventure

One morning when I was 11, I explored the town’s abandoned round grain barn(谷仓).I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.

Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark.After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (升降机井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn.On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.

I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft, but stopped halfway.After a brief panic attack, I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals, forming a ladder.For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down.So, with shaking hands, I began climbing the wall.

After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft.I stood up, dusted myself off and found…absolutely nothing of interest.It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof.I climbed all the way up here for this? Then I noticed a fire extinguisher(灭火器),which I’d always wanted to shoot off.So this was the chance of a lifetime.I tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the room.I couldn’t breathe.I was going to choke to death, and they’d probably never even find my body.

Luckily, I remembered the ladder to the roof.I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.

I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention.So when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door.I’m not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back home.

60.When the author got inside the barn, he _______.

A.noticed a man on the elevator B.opened the chained sliding door

C.saw many dead mice in the dark D.found a shaft leading to the top

61.Which of the following is the right order of the author’s adventure?

a.The elevator stopped halfway. b.He entered the round grain barn.

c.He climbed to the top of the shaft. d.He found a fire extinguisher and shot it off.
