Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami， adding weight to the idea that they have a “sixth sense” of disasters， experts said on Thursday.
Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the waves that killed over 24，000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wildlife， with no dead animals found.
“No elephants are dead， not even a dead hare or rabbit.I think animals can sense the disaster.They have a ‘sixth sense’.They know when things are happening，” H.D.Ratnayake， director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department， said on Wednesday.
The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km inland at Yala National Park in the southeast， Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants.“There has been a lot of evidence of dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes.But it has not been proved，” said Matthew van Lierop， an animal behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo.“There have been no specific studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or a field setting.” Other authorities agreed with this opinion.
“Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain signs， especially birds.There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters，” said Clive Walker， who has written several books on African wildlife.
Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators （掠食动物）.The idea of an animal “sixth sense” is a lasting one that the evidence of Sri Lanka’s damaged coast is likely to add to.

For my family， a vacation in Penang is a yearly event.My mother and father were raised in Penang， so they loved Penang cuisine.Each December， we’d go to the island and take a three-day tour of their favorite places for meals.
This year we began the trip to the north on a Friday morning.It took us six hours to arrive at our destination.We always stayed at a hotel in Batu Ferringhi.The beach was only a few steps away from the hotel， and our rooms had a beautiful ocean view.We spent our first night playing on the beach.Then， we went back to the hotel rooms and started playing games.My parents had a rule for our holidays that we should spend time doing something together.There was to be no television and no Internet.
We reached Bukit Bendera the following day， and then wandered around the town for the rest of the afternoon， visiting our favorite shops.We were drinking tea in a cafe when we heard someone discussing an earthquake off Sumatra， an Indonesian island.After we returned to our hotel， we left for the beach.We went for a stroll on the beach， collecting shells along the way.When I looked up， I could see that the sunlight was more brilliant than I had imagined.Far away， I could see a big tree shaking under the sunlight.We didn’t think anything terrible was going to happen.All of a sudden， I realized something strange.It was as if the sea was moving away from the coast.I called my dad to check on this strange event.My dad took a look and his face went pale.In the distance we could see a gray line approaching the coast.It seemed to grow taller by the second.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
My dad shouted at us to hurry back to the hotel.
We waited a long time before going downstairs.

Ⅰ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了动物似乎有一种“第六感”可以提前感知自然灾害，从而使自己免受伤害。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，此次海啸中有很多人丧生，然而野生动物却幸免于难。
2.C 词义猜测题。根据第五段第一句可知，鸟类尤其能捕捉到某些信号，所以有很多关于鸟类识别出即将发生灾难的报道。由此推知，此处detecting的意思与上句的pick up意思相近。
3.A 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文在围绕“动物逃脱了海啸，它们似乎有第六感，可以提前感知灾害”展开，所以文章主要介绍了动物似乎可以从自然灾害中拯救自己。
4.D 推理判断题。根据第一、二段内容可知，文章主要介绍了印度洋海啸造成上万人丧生，而动物却能幸免，人们认为这得益于动物的“第六感”，这属于科学发现。由此推知，本文可能出现在报纸的“发现”版。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了台风的形成以及造成的危害。
5.B 根据常识可知，台风和飓风的名字应该是取决于它们发生的地方。
6.C 根据下文occur from late June to December可知，台风发生的时间并不固定，只能推断出通常台风会发生在这几个月。
7.A while意为“然而”，表示前后对比，冷空气向下移动，就说明大量温暖潮湿的空气应该是上升的。
8.D 根据常识，冷暖空气的运动产生气压，而气压导致风快速移动。
9.C 温暖的空气越多，压力就越大，同时风力也会增强。
10.D 如果台风的速度达到每小时241千米，就会成为超级台风。hit意为“达到”。
11.B 根据下文This is right in the middle of a typhoon可知，这是台风的中心，换句话说，台风的中心就是“台风眼”。
12.B 根据下句可知，在“台风眼”里，风的移动没有那么快，说明台风中心是平静的。
13.A 根据下文and hardest rains are found可知，云墙是雨最大的地方，同时也是风力最强的地方。
14.D 根据下文They 15 houses and cars， and even kill people.可知，台风可以吹走房屋和汽车，甚至可以杀人，说明它是有破坏性的。
15.D 台风风速快就会产生很大的风力，推断出它们会吹走房屋和汽车。
16.B 根据常识可知，台风产生的次生灾害有山体滑坡和洪水。
17.A 上文举了菲律宾的例子，此处意为“中国也是受台风影响严重的国家之一”。
18.A 根据语境可知，此处指台风发生的高峰期。
19.C 根据each year可知，因为每年台风发生的次数没有准确数量，这里谈到的十次台风应该是一个平均数。
Ⅲ.
My dad shouted at us to hurry back to the hotel.He held my arm and dragged me along.As we got to the gate of the hotel， we heard a noise coming from behind.My father urged us to hide upstairs.We were in a state of terror， and as we got to the second level， we could hear the roar of running water and the shattering of glass.My dad was screaming at us to go up.On the fourth level we paused， staring at the water beneath.It stopped growing.A few minutes later， it started to fall.
We waited a long time before going downstairs.As soon as the running water stopped， we could see the unrecognizable gate of the hotel.The hotel was filled with mud and shattered furniture.There were also some people who fell into the water and fainted or cried out in pain.What we saw weakened our hearts， so we decided to assist the victims after a narrow escape.Never had I had such a thrilling but dangerous vacation before.The special visit to Penang left a deep impression on me.

Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami，
adding weight to the idea that they have a “sixth sense” of disasters，
experts said on Thursday.
Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the waves that killed over 24，
000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed
wildlife， with no dead animals found.
“No elephants are dead， not even a dead hare or rabbit.I think
animals can sense the disaster.They have a ‘sixth sense’.They know
when things are happening，” H. D. Ratnayake， director of Sri
Lanka’s Wildlife Department， said on Wednesday.
The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km inland at Yala National
Park in the southeast， Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to
hundreds of wild elephants.“There has been a lot of evidence of dogs
barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes.But it
has not been proved，” said Matthew van Lierop， an animal behaviour
specialist at Johannesburg Zoo.“There have been no specific studies
because you can’t really test it in a lab or a field setting.” Other
authorities agreed with this opinion.
“Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain signs， especially
birds.There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters，” said
Clive Walker， who has written several books on African wildlife.
Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing
to avoid danger such as predators （掠食动物）.The idea of an animal
“sixth sense” is a lasting one that the evidence of Sri Lanka’s damaged
coast is likely to add to.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
For my family， a vacation in Penang is a yearly event.My mother
and father were raised in Penang， so they loved Penang cuisine.Each
December， we’d go to the island and take a three-day tour of their
favorite places for meals.
This year we began the trip to the north on a Friday morning.It took
us six hours to arrive at our destination.We always stayed at a hotel in
Batu Ferringhi.The beach was only a few steps away from the hotel， and
our rooms had a beautiful ocean view.We spent our first night playing on
the beach.Then， we went back to the hotel rooms and started playing
games.My parents had a rule for our holidays that we should spend time
doing something together.There was to be no television and no Internet.
We reached Bukit Bendera the following day， and then wandered
around the town for the rest of the afternoon， visiting our favorite
shops.We were drinking tea in a cafe when we heard someone discussing
an earthquake off Sumatra， an Indonesian island.After we returned to our
hotel， we left for the beach.We went for a stroll on the beach，
collecting shells along the way.When I looked up， I could see that the
sunlight was more brilliant than I had imagined.Far away， I could see a
big tree shaking under the sunlight.We didn’t think anything terrible was
going to happen.All of a sudden，
I realized something strange.It was as if the sea was moving away from
the coast.I called my dad to check on this strange event.My dad took a
look and his face went pale.In the distance we could see a gray line
approaching the coast.It seemed to grow taller by the second.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
My dad shouted at us to hurry back to the hotel.
We waited a long time before going downstairs.
参考范文：
My dad shouted at us to hurry back to the hotel.He held my arm and
dragged me along.As we got to the gate of the hotel， we heard a noise
coming from behind.My father urged us to hide upstairs.We were in a
state of terror， and as we got to the second level， we could hear the roar
of running water and the shattering of glass.My dad was screaming at us to
go up.On the fourth level we paused， staring at the water beneath.It
stopped growing.A few minutes later， it started to fall.
We waited a long time before going downstairs.As soon as the
running water stopped， we could see the unrecognizable gate of the
hotel.The hotel was filled with mud and shattered furniture.There were
also some people who fell into the water and fainted or cried out in
pain.What we saw weakened our hearts， so we decided to assist the
victims after a narrow escape.Never had I had such a thrilling but
dangerous vacation before.The special visit to Penang left a deep
impression on me.
