They sometimes see balls of light high above them.The mystery began in September of 1913. A man was fishing at night. There was no sound, but suddenly unusual lights began to appear over Brown Mountain. The fisherman said they were red and round, like a ball. They were unlike anything he had seen before. They came back night after night.He told some friends about what he had seen. The Charlotte Daily Observer newspaper wrote about the story. A worker for the United States Geological Survey visited the area to investigate. He decided that what the fisherman and others had seen was nothing more than lights from a train. End of story.But the lights continued to appear. Some people said September, October, and November were the best months to see them. Nine years later, a Geological Survey team came back to the area to conduct a larger investigation. As before, they decided there was no mystery. They said witnesses were seeing train lights, camp fires, or automobile lights. In nineteen sixteen a large flood swept through the area. Electrical power was lost. Trains could not run. Roads and bridges were washed away. But the Brown Mountain lights continued to appear.If there are unusual lights around Brown Mountain, what could they be? Throughout the southern United States, people have spoken of seeing a “Jack o Lantern” or “Will of the Wisp”， floating in the night sky. Scientists say these sightings are often balls of swamp gas. As plants die in low, wet, swampy areas, they release gas that glows.Another theory says the lights are caused by electrically charged plasma, a type of lightning that floats like a ball. Others say quartz rocks in the ground create a “piezoelectric” effect when the earth moves. Still others suggest that the lights are reflections from far away cars and homes.But people who love a good mystery say the Brown Mountain lights are the spirits of the Cherokee and Catawba Indians who lived in the area many years ago. Some think Unidentified Flying Objects and space aliens are involved.But when the fishing rods are cleaned and stored for the night, and the guitars, violins, and banjos are tuned, the mountain people of western North Carolina sit around the fire and sing about a ghost and those strange lights up on the mountain.这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了美国的北卡罗来纳州的布朗山上经常会出现一些奇怪的光，关于这些光的来源至今人们无法给出合理的解释。1.

D. 10.答案：C推理判断题。文章的最后的三段中，提到了关于这种奇怪光的解释一共是六种，倒数第三段中有一个，倒数第二段有两个，最后一段中提到了三个，因此选C。4. Why did the author write this passage?A. To introduce the influence of Brown Mountain lights.B.

To introduce a mystery of Brown Mountain lights.答案：D主旨大意题。本文作者主要介绍了北卡罗来纳州的布朗山上面经常出现一些奇怪的光，而对于这种光人们现在仍然无法给出合理的解释，因此选D。误解分析：A介绍这种光的影响，文章中没有谈到这个问题；B分析这种光的构成，没有信息依据；C解释光是从哪里来的，文章中并没有最终得出结论，只是提到了一些说法。
