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 (韁繩) and tried 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 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，reminded 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 (美洲獅) had been acting strangely.It turned out that the cat had an upset stomach!A second task for scientists 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 Earth.This extra sense probably helps animals predict quakes.1What is the main idea of this passage?AAnimals dont know when an earthquake is coming.BAnimals can predict earthquakes.CThe author doesnt know whether the animals can feel the coming of an earthquake or not.DHuman beings have to move the animals away before an earthquake is coming.2Some animals could predict earthquakes because they can detect tiny changes_.Ain the air pressureBin gravityCin the magnetism of the earthDall of the above3How do all the animals exactly know when an earthquake is coming?ABy their extra senses.BBy the changes in air pressure，gravity or the magnetism.CPeople dont know exactly.DThe passage doesnt mention it.4The authors purpose is mainly to_.Aexpress an argumentBmake a serious proposalCpresent a discoveryDexpress suspicionsappoint vt.任命；委派生義：vt.安排，確定(時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)等)A meeting was held at the appointed time

as.被任命為。4C因houses與burn是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故排除B、D兩項(xiàng)。burn.to death燒死；burn to the ground全部焚毀。5B分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知此處應(yīng)用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞作狀語(yǔ)。I與experience之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，且非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞所表示的動(dòng)作發(fā)生在句子謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)作之前，故用現(xiàn)在分詞的完成式。6Dbe about to

coming”一句看出動(dòng)物能夠預(yù)測(cè)地震。2D從最后一段的最后三句可以看出一些動(dòng)物能夠預(yù)測(cè)地震是因?yàn)樗鼈兡軌虬l(fā)現(xiàn)“tiny changes in air pressure，gravity，or the magnetism (磁力) of Earth”，因此選D項(xiàng)。3C從第三段的美洲獅和最后一段看出只是一些動(dòng)物能夠在地震前出現(xiàn)奇怪行為，但是，并沒(méi)有確切地發(fā)現(xiàn)所有的動(dòng)物怎樣知道什么時(shí)候發(fā)生地震。4C作者的目的是在呈現(xiàn)一種新的發(fā)現(xiàn)。
