It called these strange objects UFOs - Unidentified Flying Objects, and that is how they are (55) today.

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、ruled
B、bombed
C、captured
D、visited
答案
D
解析
role、bomb、capture的意义分别为“统治、轰炸、捕获”,都不适合此处的意义。当时人们只可能提出“是否有来自另外一个星球的生灵造访地球?”这个问题,所以应该选visit这个动词。
