The Bermuda Triangle(百慕大三角)is in the Atlantic Ocean, near Florida in the USA. During the past 60 years, more than 1,000 seamen in ships and pilots in planes have lost their lives. It is known as “The Triangle of Death”for its strange seawater and sudden storms. What's the strangest is the light of the seawater, which looks so bright that it can be seen even from an outer spaceship.

　　At 2:00p.m. on Dec. 5, 1945, five planes took off in fine weather from the airport of Florida, on a training task. Two hours later, the leader in the sky radioed that he was “completely lost”. Then there was silence. Another plane was sent to look for them and also disappeared.

　　One of the largest ship that had disappeared in the triangle was an American coal ship, 500meters long. The weather was good, and there were no messages for help before it was “gone”. No broken ships or dead bodies have been found so far.

　　No one is able to tell how all these accidents have happened. A group of Japanese scientists were there to see what it was really like in 1995, but nothing has been heard of them ever since.

1. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. How the Bermuda Triangle ate up the planes and ships.           

　　B. Why many of the planes and ships have disappeared.

　　C. Strange accidents happened in the Bermuda Triangle, no one can tell why     

　　D. When the Bermuda Triangle was formed very strangely.

2. How many planes had lost in December 1945?

　　A. Five. 　　　　B. Six. 　　　　C. Seven.　　　　 D. Eight.

3. What does the underline word “radioed” mean?

　　A. Wrote sound message using a radio.

　　B. Listened to sound message using a radio.

　　C. Sent sound message using a radio.

　　D. Received sound message using a radio.

4. Why was the leader in the plane lost?

　　A. He met with terrible weather.                       

　　B. He was losing the right direction.

　　C. Airport didn't give him an answer.                  

　　D. The reasons are still unknown.

5. What about the group of Japanese scientists who went to Bermuda?

　　A. They have also disappeared very strangely.

　　B. They have not heard of anything important.

　　C. They are still working hard in Bermuda.

　　D. They've come back, knowing nothing about it.
