A二、阅读理解Animals and EarthquakesScientists who try to predict earthquakes have got some new helpers recentlyanimals.Scientists have begun to catch on to what farmers have kno

62、wn for thousands of years. Animals often seem to know in advance that an earthquake is coming, and they show their fear by acting in strange ways. Before a Chinese quake in 1975 snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air. Cows broke their halters (缰绳) and trie

63、d to escape. Chickens refused to enter their coops. All of this unusual behavior, as well as physical changes in Earth, alerted Chinese scientists to the coming quake. They moved people away from the dangerous area and saved thousands of lives.One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which

64、types of animals behavior predicts quakes. Its not an easy job. First of all, not every animal can react to the danger of an earthquake. Just before a California quake in 1977, for example, an Arabian horse became very nervous and tried to break out of his stall. The horse next to it, however, remin

65、ded perfectly calm. Its also difficult at times to tell the difference between normal animals restless and “earthquake nerves”. A zoo keeper once called earthquake researchers to say that his cougar (美洲狮) had been acting strangely. It turned out that the cat had an upset stomach!A second task for sc

66、ientists is to find out exactly what kind of warnings the animals receive. They know that animals sense far more of the world than humans do. Many animals can see, hear, and smell things that people do not even notice. Some can detect tiny changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism (磁力) of E

67、arth. This extra sense probably helps animals predict quakes.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Animals dont know when an earthquake is coming.B. Animals can predict earthquakes.C. The author doesnt know whether the animals can feel the coming of an earthquake or not.D. Human beings have to

68、 move the animals away before an earthquake is coming.2. Some animals could predict earthquakes because they can detect tiny changes_.A. in the air pressureB. in gravityC. in the magnetism of the earthD. all of the above3. How do all the animals exactly know when an earthquake is coming?A. By their

69、extra senses.B. By the changes in air pressure, gravity or the magnetism.C. People dont know exactly.D. The passage doesnt mention it.4. The authors purpose is mainly to_.A. express an argumentB. make a serious proposalC. present a discoveryD. express suspicions答案：1.B2. D3. C4. CLast year I was put

70、into a lowerlevel math class at school. The reason I was in this class had nothing to do with my intellect or math skills. I am blind.The only problem with being in this class was that I was surrounded by “atrisk” students. These were kids who did not do well in school and they were constantly in tr

71、ouble with the school and the law.One Tuesday morning, I went to a Christian Student Union meeting before school. There was a guest speaker there that day talking to us about praying for our enemies. I began to think about this. As I considered the idea, I prayed and asked God how I could pray for t

72、he kids in my class. I had forgotten that they werent bad kids; they were just lost.At first, the prayers were mechanical. When I would hear their voices in class, I would pray, “Dear God, please bless soandso.” But as I continued, I began to think of the kids more often, and in my quiet time at hom

73、e I would ask God to bless the rest of my classmates.As time went on, my classmates became more than just annoying kids to me. There was something growing inside my heart for them, something that wasnt there before. They began to feel like family, and I was learning to love them in a way I never tho

74、ught possible.I now see that praying is such a powerful act. Prayer is the most powerful tool a Christian has. When I pray for those around me, it also blesses my life, and it changes my opinion of others. I realized I needed Gods blessings to see the world through loving eyes. The prayers I said fo

75、r others turned out to help me the most.1. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Praying for your enemies.B. The experience of the writer.C. How to get along with the kids.D. How to solve the problem about the “atrisk” students.2. What did the writer think about the kids at first?A. They were lovely

76、 and friendly.B. They were always asking for trouble.C. They were as blind as the writer.D. They were less reliable.3. What made the writer change his opinion about the kids?A. The suggestion made by the teacher.B. The idea about praying at a Christian Student Union meeting.C. The experience with th

77、e bad kids.D. The change with the time going by.4. What can we learn from the passage?A. The kids in the writers class are bad.B. As time went on, the classmates became annoying.C. After praying, the writer changed his opinion of his classmates immediately.D. By praying for others, the writer learne
