Sixty years ago, a man named Kenneth Arnold saw something that we can still (51) today - something that changed popular culture for ever.
Flying his plane over mountains in the US state of Washington, he saw a line of strange objects, either crescent-shaped (月牙形的) or disc-like, flying (52) the motion of a saucer (碟) skimming (飞速掠过) on water.
The media soon picked up on the story - the Flying Saucers were here! Was the earth being (53) by creatures from another planet? Soon, so many sightings were made that the US military began to (54) . It called these strange objects UFOs - Unidentified Flying Objects, and that is how they are (55) today.
Military investigations found no evidence of visitors from outer space. But that did not stop the true (56) . The military were (57) up, they said. Or maybe it was because the travelers from space were of such superior intelligence (58) they could hide from military analysts (分析家) .

The date of the first UFO sightings was also significant. In 1947, World War Ⅱ had just ended and the (61) War was just beginning. Humanity seemed locked in endless conflicts.

Belief in UFOs became the first religion of science.
However, even people who believe in UFOs are not quite sure why they visit the earth. The universe is a big place and it is (64) to assume that there is life somewhere out there. It is possible that aliens have worked out how to travel through space. Yet some people report that they have been taken by aliens and have had experiments (65) on them. Why would anyone travel across half the universe to conduct medical experiments on people living in small towns in the United States?
选项
A、believers
B、thinkers
C、followers
D、runners
答案
A
解析
true believers确信者。尽管军方的调查没有发现天外来客的迹象,但这并没有使确信这是外星人的那些人改变想法。这些人只能被称为true believers(笃信者),而不是thinkers(思想家),或者followers(追随者)。Runners则和文章的内容完全无关。
