试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是发生在Joe身上的一个故事。有一天Joe发现天空中有一道亮光，原来是一艘宇宙飞船。从飞船上下来两个怪物，他们把Joe带进了宇宙飞船，问了他一些关于地球的问题。原来他们是来自金星的，金星变得很热，他们想找一个新家。最后他们放了Joe。当Joe把他遇到的事情告诉别人时，没有人相信他。

1.细节理解题。根据文章第一段中The light came nearer and nearer and suddenly Joe realized that it was a spaceship可知，Joe在空中看到一缕亮光，这道光越来越近，突然Joe意识到它是一艘宇宙飞船。故选D。

2.细节理解题。根据文章的第二段中They seemed to be half man and half bird.可知，在宇宙飞船里出来的生物是一种半人半鸟的东西。故选Ｄ。Ｃ选项的意思是既不是人也不是鸟，与文章的描述不同。

3.细节理解题。根据文章的第二段和第三段的内容he spacemen walked towards him，picked him up and carried him into the spaceship．．．They asked him questions about earth可知，外星人把Joe带进了宇宙飞船，他们询问了一些关于地球的问题。由此可知，外星人把Joe带进宇宙飞船是想让他回答一些关于地球的问题。故选C。

4.细节理解题。根据文章第三段的内容We are trying to find a new home.可知，这些外星人来自金星，但是金星变得很热，人们都快要死了，所以他们到地球来是想找一个新家。故选A。

5.推理判断题。根据文章第四段的第一句话After some time they freed Joe可知，最后外星人放了Joe，故Ａ不对；根据文章第三段外星人的话中But it is getting very hot there.可知，他们来自金星，那里变得很热，而不是很冷，故Ｂ不对；根据文章第四段no one believed his story.可知，没有人相信Joe的故事，故D不对，D选项的意思是不是所有人都相信Joe的故事，即有的人相信，有的人不信。根据文章第三段外星人说的话中A lot of our people are dying可知，金星上很多人都死了。故C是正确的。
