Animals often seem to know in advance that an earthquake is coming, and they show their fear by acting in strange ways. Before a quake (地震 ) in China in 1975 snakes a
8、woke 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 zone and saved thousands of lives. One task for scientists today is
9、 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 very nervous and tried to break out of his stall. The horse next t
10、o 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 strangely. It turned out that the cougar had a stomachache. A sec
11、ond 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. Some can detect tiny changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magn
12、etism (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 quake a low booming sound was heard. Each sound caused the dogs to b
13、ark (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. The machine recorded both, though humans felt and heard nothing.
14、 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 measure but do not recognize as a warning. Discovering what animals se
15、nse, 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 scientists moved people away from the coming quake zone after notici
16、ng 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 19 The cougar behaved strangely because it had sensed the threat
17、 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 sensed both the low booming sounds and the minor quakes following t
