Animals often seem to know in advance that an earthquake is coming, and they show their fear by acting
8、 in strange ways. Before a quake (地震 ) in China in 1975 snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air. All the unusual behavior, as well as physical changes in earth, alerted (提醒 ) Chinese scientists to the coming quake. They moved people away from the danger zon
9、e and saved thousands of lives. One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which types of animal behavior predict quakes. It is not an easy job. First of all not every animal reacts to the danger of an earthquake. Just before a California quake in 1979, for example, an Arabian horse became ve
10、ry nervous and tried to break out of his stall. The horse next to him, however, remained perfectly calm. It is also difficult sometimes to tell the difference between normal animal calmness and “earthquake nerves.“ A zookeeper once told earthquake researchers that his cougar (美洲狮 ) had been acting s
11、trangely. It turned out that the cougar had a stomachache. A second task for scientists is to find out exactly what kinds of warning 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. So
12、me can detect tiny changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism (磁力 ) of earth. This extra sense probably helps animals predict earthquakes. A good example of this occurred with a group of dogs. They were closed in an area that was being shaken by a series of tiny earthquakes. Before each quak
13、e a low booming sound was heard. Each sound caused the dogs to bark (吠 ) wildly. The dogs began to bark during a silent period! A scientist who was recording the quakes looked at his machine. He realized that the dogs had reacted to a booming noise. They also sensed the tiny quake that followed it.
14、The machine recorded both, though humans felt and heard nothing. In this case there was a machine to check what the dogs were sensing. Many times, however, our machines record nothing out of the ordinary, even though animals know a quake-is coming. The animals might be sensing something we do measur
15、e but do not recognize as a warning. Discovering what animals sense, and learning how they know danger signals, is a job for future scientists. 16 During an earthquake in China in 1975, some cows had “earthquake nerves“ and some remained calm. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 17 Chinese scie
16、ntists moved people away from the coming quake zone after noticing the strange behavior of some animals and physical changes in earth. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 18 Animals of the same kind always react in the same way to the danger of a quake. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned
17、19 The cougar behaved strangely because it had sensed the threat of a quake. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 20 All animals can sense the very small changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism of earth. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 21 The dogs mentioned in the passage sen
18、sed both the low booming sounds and the minor quakes following them. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 22 A task for future scientists is to find out how an animal receives a warning signal. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 三、 概括大意与完成句子 (第 23-30题，每题 1分，共 8分 ) 下面的短文后有 2项测试任务： (1)第 23-2

Womens rights are guarantees of political, social, and economic equality for women in a society that traditionally gives more power and freedom to men. Among these rights are control of property, equa
20、lity of opportunity in education and employment, right of voting, and freedom of marriage. Today, complete political, economic, and social equality with men remains to be achieved. 2. Male control was obvious from the time of the earliest written historical records, probably as a result of mens role
21、 in hunting and warfare. The belief that women were naturally weaker and inferior to men was also found in god-centred religions. Therefore, in most traditional societies, women generally were at a disadvantage. Their education was limited to learning domestic skills, and they had no access to posit
22、ions of power. A woman had no legal control over her person, her own land and money, or her children. 3. The Age of Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution, which caused economic and social progress, provided a favorable climate for the rise of womens rights movement in the late 18th and the 19t
23、h century. In 1848 more than 100 persons held the first womens rights convention in New York, and the feminists demanded equal rights, including the vote. 4. In the late 1960s women made up about 40 percent of the work force in England, France, Germany, and the United States. This figure rose to mor
24、e than 50 percent by the mid-1980s. A commission under the President was established in 1960 to consider equal opportunities for women. Acts of Congress entitled them to equality in education, employment, and. legal rights. In 1964 the Civil Rights Act, initially intended only for blacks, was extend
25、ed to women. 5. The objectives of the womens movement included equal pay for equal work, federal support for day-care centres, recognition of lesbian (女性同性恋 ) rights, making abortion legal, and the focus of serious attention on the problems of forced sex relations, wife and child beating, and discri

38、00 small specialty shops, while the few that are not used yet will be filled as soon as the malls owners find proprietors (业主 ) who fit the malls image. One thing that makes Stone Hill Mall popular was that all of the stores remain open from 9 a.m. until 10 p. m., Monday through Friday. This favoura
39、ble start has certainly been advantageous thanks to Such features as its being the only shopping centre in the area to provide free baby-sitting for children from two to eight yeas old and its offering restaurants to suit every pocket, with the possible exception of the highly budget-conscious.

The original flight did not end well. In July 1937, near the end of her trip, Earharts Lockheed 10E airplan
47、e suddenly disappeared over the Pacific Ocean. Finch hopes that this time she will have a better chance. Though she is flying an exact copy of Earllarts plane, she will have the latest navigation, communications, and weather-tracking tools. Amelia had to navigate by the stars, an impossible task on
48、a cloudy night, Finch says. Finch, in contrast, will be able to know her exact location even while flying over the ocean using the Global Positioning system (GPS). This ring of orbiting satellites continuously transmits radio signals to Earth. To calculate her position, Finchs GPS receiver will meas
49、ure how long it takes radio signals transmitted from various satellites to reach the plane. Knowing her location is especially important when flying around the equator, as Earhart did. In that region, thunderstorms are dangerous. I cant fly through thunderstorms, says Finch, because, the winds moving up and down could break the plane. And Finch will not be able to fly above the storms because her airplane Electra is not pressurized. That m
