A?
In 2017, Amanda Gorman, then 19, was named the first National Youth Poet Laureate. She spoke with?TFK’s?Brian McGrath about poetry in her life.
Has poetry always been a part of your life?
I began writing songs when I was 5. When I got to middle school, I said to myself, 揂manda, you can抰 sing at all. But it seemed that the songs I was writing were actually poems. I began changing from music to poetry and spoken word.
What has poetry done for you?
Poetry allows me to choose my own voice. I have spent a lot of time writing prose (散文) stories. But they never felt like my own voice unless they played with rhythm, and connected different types of images (意象) the way my poems do. Often when I read my prose out loud, someone would say, “You know, that was a great poem.”
How did you start out as a youth leader?
My mom is an English teacher. She is very enthusiastic about what poetry can do in the classroom. She’d bring me into her classroom to lead poetry workshops (讲习班). That’s how I developed my skills in teaching.
How did this work grow?
When I was 16, I started an organization called One Pen One Page. The website is a place where students from around the world can tell their stories. And we help schools across the country teach poetry workshops. Every year, we hold a Write On! symposium (研讨会), which is all about using rhythm and the spoken word to effect social change within the community.
Have you found kids to be enthusiastic poets?
Kids bring a new type of energy to poetry. They want to write about anything under the sun. And they come to poetry without limitations about what it can be.
21. In what way did poetry help Gorman?
A. It gave her a voice.
B. It led her to write prose.
C. It made her become world-famous.
D. It encouraged her to start singing.
22. What can be learned about One Pen One Page?
A. It works to collect stories worldwide.
B. It develops poetic education at school.
C. It presents a number of social problems.
D. It was set up by Gorman and her mother.
23. How does Gorman look at kids poems?
A. They are quite childish.
B. They are limited in numbers.
C. They are sunny and humorous.
D. They are free and imaginative.

Last year, eight-year-old Trisha Rao was worried about her upcoming school exams, so she turned to poetry to help work through her feelings and give herself confidence as she prepared for the tests. 揑t was a good way to make me stay calm, Rao says.
While listening to the news with her father, Rao learned about the war in Syria. Conditions in the country were tough, and many people were leaving for safer areas. “I was sad that they lost their homes and some of them lost their family,” Rao said.
It made Rao think. If the poem she had written the night before her test had given her hope, maybe it could do the same for the refugee (难民) children. Rao worked on her poem and turned it into a book called?Believe in Yourself?with the help of her family and friends. It follows the tales of Sunshine the pup (小狗) (based on Rao’s real-life Cocker Spaniel of the same name) and Papa Dog. Each page presents a lesson on topics such as overcoming difficulties, working hard, and of course, believing in one抯 self.
揑 feel that the Syrian refugee children need to hear a message of hope, she says. 揑抦 happy that I was able to write this book and share this message with them.
The refugee children have accepted Rao抯 encouraging message so enthusiastically that the Istanbul Centre for Support to Life has begun translating Rao抯 book into Arabic so they抣l be able to read it in their own language.Believe in Yourself爃as also earned Rao a prize from the Independent Publishers Book Awards for Best Children’s eBook.
In order to get?Believe in Yourself?into the hands of as many children as possible, Rao and her family have promised to donate (捐赠) a copy of the book to a refugee child for every copy sold.
24. How did poetry affect Rao when she was eight?
A.營t helped her believe in herself.
B. It broadened her outlook on life.
C. It offered her enthusiasm and skills.
D. It made her achieve excellent grades.
25. What can we learn about燘elieve in Yourself?

B. They thought highly of it.
C. They had mixed opinions on it.

Every time author Alex Brown has released a book I have wasted no time in jumping straight in. I have always been honest about not being a fan of short stories as I have found them to be lacking in depth for me but when I saw that Alex Brown was bringing out a short story named燦ot Just for Christmas爏et in her much loved village of Tindledale I knew there was no way I could miss out on another visit to the village.
The main character in this short story is Kitty who appeared in the previous Tindledale books running her caf闋The Spotted Pig Caf. Kitty is a single mother of the lovely little Teddie after her husband died a true hero. Kitty and Teddie have adapted (适应) to life but then Kitty receives a phone call from Mack who was her husband’s best friend, with news that her husband’s dog Monty has been retired (退休) and needs a home. Will Monty bring everlasting love to the family or will he bring up too many memories for Kitty?
I am爋ver the moon爐hat this book focuses on Kitty抯 story as she is a character who has touched my heart in the Tindledale books and I have really wanted the author to explore her character more. The storyline is very moving but also uplifting too with a lovely touch of celebration.
This is the first short story I have read where the author has managed to put all of the feeling of a full length novel into a short story. The characters are well developed and soon work their way into your heart. The storyline also has great depth of feeling thanks to the challenging topics the author deals with. There are some touching moments and the one that really touched my heart was the comment Teddie made about her father.
It抯 actually quite amazing how much happens in such a short story, but none of it feels rushed.
28. Which statement is the author抯 view according to Paragraph 1?
A. He couldn抰 get the story抯 deep thoughts.
B. He has always been interested in short stories.
C. He didn抰 expect to visit the village of Tindledale.
D. He was looking forward to Alex Brown抯 new book.
29. What does the underlined expression in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. In high spirits.
B. Burning with curiosity.
C. Super sad and worried.
D. Very touched and satisfied.
30. What can we learn about燦ot Just for Christmas?
A. Its storylines are pretty simple.
B. It is in fact an amusing comedy.
C. It focuses on Kitty and her dog Monty.
D. Its characters soon win the heart of readers.
31. What moment touched the author most?
A. A lovely touch of celebration.
B. Kitty抯 warm welcome to Monty.
C. Monty抯 everlasting love to the family.
D. Teddie expressing her opinion about her father.
D
Back-to-back hurricanes hit the U.S. Virgin Islands last fall and caused a lot of damage. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has collected more than 736,000 cubic (立方的) yards of rubbish as they rush to clean up St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix, the Virgin Islands’ three major islands, but there is no place to put it. Some of the rubbish is metal (金属), some of it is wood and parts of buildings, but most of it is trees and other plants.
The Army Corps will ship the metal to the U.S. mainland to be sold. After being cut up into small parts, wood and other rubbish will be sent there, too. But it is much harder to get rid of the trees and big plants. The Army Corps wanted to burn the plant waste. It is the cheapest way to get rid of it, which was done in New York and New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
But people in the Virgin Islands thought it could harm their health and the health of the islands, too. The protest (抗议) started on the island of St. John, which is circled by coral reefs (珊瑚礁) and includes a big national park. People on St. Thomas and St. Croix joined in, too.
?Sending the plant waste to the mainland is not a good idea, either. It includes insects that could create problems in other areas. In Puerto Rico, an island in the Caribbean Sea, the Army Corps is cutting plant waste into mulch (护根), which helps improve the soil. People in the Virgin Islands like the idea. But there may not be enough space for all of it.
And some people are tired of waiting. Raphael Munchez, whose home was damaged, is one of those people. 揥e need our government to get back on its feet, he said. 揑t抯 struggling right now. Nobody is worried about pollution right now. We are worried about getting all of this rubbish off the island.
32. What troubled the Army Corps in the Virgin Islands?
A. The severe weather.
B. The mountains of rubbish.
C. The buildings in bad condition.
D. The damage caused by Hurricane Sandy.
33. What did people in the Virgin Islands think of burning the waste?
A. It would not be fairly effective.
B. It would not be environment-friendly.
C. It would help them rebuild their islands.
D. It would destroy coral reefs around the island.
34. What is the government doing now to get rid of the plant waste?
A. Burning it on St. Croix.
B. Sending it to the mainland.
C. Cutting all of it into mulch.
D. Still waiting for a solution.
35. What do Munchez抯 words in the last paragraph suggest?
A. There will be a quick fix.
B. The burning ban wastes time.
C. The government’s struggle is worthy.
D. Pollution should be regarded as a big problem.

A multicultural land
“Multicultural”?describes a society in which people from many different cultures live together in harmony (和谐).??36??According to new research, 26% of the population was born overseas and a further 20% had at least one parent born overseas. Aboriginal (土著的) Australians make up about 2.5% of the population. Australia’s different communities have brought with them food, lifestyles and cultural practices.
Should Australia encourage immigration (移民) and be multicultural???37
Those that fight against it sometimes say that migration from non-European countries is changing the face of Australia. They believe a smooth working society isn抰 possible if there抮e many cultures that don抰 share values, history and language. Australia抯 main culture is British, or at least European. Some people believe that immigration from any country puts too much pressure on the natural environment.牋38
Those who favor a multicultural Australia argue that migrants improve and grow Australia抯 economy.牋39牋More goods and services need to be provided. Like all Australians, migrants pay taxes (税). Research shows that migrants contribute more in taxes than they consume in government goods and services.??40??Since 2005, net migration has overtaken natural increase (births minus deaths) as the main force of population growth.
A. More houses and schools are built.
B. Australia simply can抰 support a large population.
C. There have been ongoing discussions for a long time about it.
D. Historically, Australia did not accept people from everywhere.
E. Australia needs migration in order to increase its population and grow.
F. They want to protect Australian jobs and industries from foreign competition.
G. Australia is a multicultural country and will become even more so in the future.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A?
Until five years ago, Joseph Mwaura was just another ordinary middle-aged Kenyan leading a hard life washing cars at a filling station on a busy highway in Nairobi. He could only earn $10 each day, but with a family of four to feed he had no choice but to stick to this boring job.
Today, Joseph runs several taxi-service cars, employs six people and lives in his own house, besides comfortably meeting his children抯 education needs.
The secret to爄t? Joseph joined a local saving and credit co-operative. Through it, he put aside $4 a day until he had saved enough to be able to borrow three times his savings, enabling him to buy a piece of land and get into the transport business.
The co-operative movement in Kenya has helped millions of people like Joseph, turning ordinary citizens into home and small-business owners through cheap, affordable credit.
Since 1908, when the British government introduced the idea here, the movement has grown to become the most successful in Africa. It is the seventh-largest in the world.
According to the International Labour Organization, Kenya抯 co-operative movement now accounts for 45 per cent of the country抯 GDP, directly employing half a million people and indirectly employing two million more. With a population of 45 million, Kenya has close to 20,000 government-run co-operative societies, with membership standing at over 14 million, according to the International Co-operative Alliance.
Kenyans own the Co-operative Bank of Kenya, which is the third largest bank in the country and the largest co-operative bank in Africa as well as the Co-operative University of Kenya, a public university devoted to the co-operative movement.
With $500 million in assets (资产), and with $400 million in savings, Kenya’s co-operatives are helping millions of poor people.
1. What was Joseph like five years ago?
A. He looked older than his real age.
B. He was always hopeful of his future.
C. He tried his best to support his family.
D. He made great attempts to improve his job skills.
2. The underlined word 搃t in Paragraph 3 refers to Joseph抯 _____.
A. plan
B. change
C. confidence
D. movement
3. What did Joseph have to do to join the co-operative movement?
A. Build a savings plan.
B. Receive some education.
C. Work for a small business owner.
D. Get experience in transport business.
4. How is Kenya抯 co-operative movement developing?
A. It is progressing at a rapid speed.
B. It is the most successful in the world.
C. It is employing two million people in all.
D. It is contributing to one third of Kenya抯 GDP.
B
On December 26, 2004, hundreds of tourists relaxed on Sri Lanka抯 Yala National Park抯 beaches. But at mid-morning the park抯 elephants began crying wildly and charging away from the ocean and up a nearby hill. The puzzled keepers could tell the animals were worried about something. But what?
What the keepers did not know was that a 30-foot wall of water was headed straight toward them. This tsunami had been caused by an earthquake more than 1,000 miles away in the Indian Ocean. When the huge wave hit the coast, it caused severe damage. Many people died. The elephants, however, were not swept away by the water. They stood safely on the hill.
Scientists have long suspected that animals sense natural disasters before humans do. People have told stories of dogs refusing to go outside and sharks swimming to deeper waters before a hurricane. After the 2004 tsunami, people said they saw tigers, monkeys, and water buffalo escaping to higher ground before the waters rushed in. Even in the hardest-hit areas of southern Asia, there were few animal deaths.
It抯 unlikely that an animal抯 so-called sixth sense comes from some magical power to see into the future. Experts believe that animals may be more sensitive than humans to changes in temperature and other environmental conditions that take place before a natural disaster. The elephants in Sri Lanka, for example, may have picked up vibrations (震动) from within the Earth, a sign that danger was coming. Because vibrations in the ground travel much faster than an ocean wave, the elephants may have felt the earthquake that caused the tsunami well before the tsunami itself came to the coast.
A few scientists are calling for a system to track reports of strange behavior in people抯 pets, hoping that these reports can serve as a warning system that a natural disaster is about to happen. But Marina Haynes, an animal behavior scientist at the Philadelphia Zoo, says, 揑t would be an unreliable way to predict disasters. It can be difficult to know what an animal is doing. Is the animal nervous because an earthquake is about to happen or is it frightened because there is an enemy nearby?
5. What happened to the elephants in Sri Lanka抯 Yala National Park on December 26, 2004?
A. They died in the natural disaster.
B. They were disturbed by the tourists.
C. They moved from the hill to the seaside.
D. They behaved strangely before the tsunami.
6. How did the author present animals sixth sense in Paragraph 3?
A. By giving examples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By showing research findings.
D. By telling an interesting story.
7. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. The advantages of being sensitive.
B. The influences of the natural disaster.
C. How animals predict a natural disaster.
D. How elephants make use of their sixth sense.
8. What is Haynes attitude towards a warning system?
A. Delighted.
B. Doubtful.
C. Hopeful.
D. Disappointed.

One possible version:
This summer, I visited Hangzhou, and this journey impressed me deeply.
Being the capital of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou lies in the southeast of China. There’re a lot of places of interest, among which the West Lake is the best-known attraction, where water seems to melt into the sky in the distance. Besides, there’re several museums located in Hangzhou that show its unique culture. What’s more, you can enjoy many kinds of delicious local food such as West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce and Dongpo Pork. The people there are friendly and kind, and they are working hard to make the city more beautiful.
How attractive and inviting Hangzhou is!

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A?
In 2017, Amanda Gorman, then 19, was named the first National Youth Poet Laureate. She spoke with?TFK’s?Brian McGrath about poetry in her life.
Has poetry always been a part of your life?
I began writing songs when I was 5. When I got to middle school, I said to myself, 揂manda, you can抰 sing at all. But it seemed that the songs I was writing were actually poems. I began changing from music to poetry and spoken word.
What has poetry done for you?
Poetry allows me to choose my own voice. I have spent a lot of time writing prose (散文) stories. But they never felt like my own voice unless they played with rhythm, and connected different types of images (意象) the way my poems do. Often when I read my prose out loud, someone would say, “You know, that was a great poem.”
How did you start out as a youth leader?
My mom is an English teacher. She is very enthusiastic about what poetry can do in the classroom. She’d bring me into her classroom to lead poetry workshops (讲习班). That’s how I developed my skills in teaching.
How did this work grow?
When I was 16, I started an organization called One Pen One Page. The website is a place where students from around the world can tell their stories. And we help schools across the country teach poetry workshops. Every year, we hold a Write On! symposium (研讨会), which is all about using rhythm and the spoken word to effect social change within the community.
Have you found kids to be enthusiastic poets?
Kids bring a new type of energy to poetry. They want to write about anything under the sun. And they come to poetry without limitations about what it can be.
21. In what way did poetry help Gorman?
A. It gave her a voice.
B. It led her to write prose.
C. It made her become world-famous.
D. It encouraged her to start singing.
22. What can be learned about One Pen One Page?
A. It works to collect stories worldwide.
B. It develops poetic education at school.
C. It presents a number of social problems.
D. It was set up by Gorman and her mother.
23. How does Gorman look at kids poems?
A. They are quite childish.
B. They are limited in numbers.
C. They are sunny and humorous.
D. They are free and imaginative.
B
Last year, eight-year-old Trisha Rao was worried about her upcoming school exams, so she turned to poetry to help work through her feelings and give herself confidence as she prepared for the tests. 揑t was a good way to make me stay calm, Rao says.
While listening to the news with her father, Rao learned about the war in Syria. Conditions in the country were tough, and many people were leaving for safer areas. “I was sad that they lost their homes and some of them lost their family,” Rao said.
It made Rao think. If the poem she had written the night before her test had given her hope, maybe it could do the same for the refugee (难民) children. Rao worked on her poem and turned it into a book called?Believe in Yourself?with the help of her family and friends. It follows the tales of Sunshine the pup (小狗) (based on Rao’s real-life Cocker Spaniel of the same name) and Papa Dog. Each page presents a lesson on topics such as overcoming difficulties, working hard, and of course, believing in one抯 self.
揑 feel that the Syrian refugee children need to hear a message of hope, she says. 揑抦 happy that I was able to write this book and share this message with them.
The refugee children have accepted Rao抯 encouraging message so enthusiastically that the Istanbul Centre for Support to Life has begun translating Rao抯 book into Arabic so they抣l be able to read it in their own language.Believe in Yourself爃as also earned Rao a prize from the Independent Publishers Book Awards for Best Children’s eBook.
In order to get?Believe in Yourself?into the hands of as many children as possible, Rao and her family have promised to donate (捐赠) a copy of the book to a refugee child for every copy sold.
24. How did poetry affect Rao when she was eight?
A.營t helped her believe in herself.
B. It broadened her outlook on life.
C. It offered her enthusiasm and skills.
D. It made her achieve excellent grades.
25. What can we learn about燘elieve in Yourself?
A. It discusses a variety of refugee problems.
B. It was completely finished by herself.
C. It aims to encourage refugee children.
D. It was based on her own story.
26. How did the public react to Rao抯 book?
A. They had doubts about it.
B. They thought highly of it.
C. They had mixed opinions on it.
D. They were unconcerned about it.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Lesson from a Girl

C. Sharing Hope with Refugees
D. Exploring the Well-being of Refugees

Every time author Alex Brown has released a book I have wasted no time in jumping straight in. I have always been honest about not being a fan of short stories as I have found them to be lacking in depth for me but when I saw that Alex Brown was bringing out a short story named燦ot Just for Christmas爏et in her much loved village of Tindledale I knew there was no way I could miss out on another visit to the village.
The main character in this short story is Kitty who appeared in the previous Tindledale books running her caf闋The Spotted Pig Caf. Kitty is a single mother of the lovely little Teddie after her husband died a true hero. Kitty and Teddie have adapted (适应) to life but then Kitty receives a phone call from Mack who was her husband’s best friend, with news that her husband’s dog Monty has been retired (退休) and needs a home. Will Monty bring everlasting love to the family or will he bring up too many memories for Kitty?
I am爋ver the moon爐hat this book focuses on Kitty抯 story as she is a character who has touched my heart in the Tindledale books and I have really wanted the author to explore her character more. The storyline is very moving but also uplifting too with a lovely touch of celebration.
This is the first short story I have read where the author has managed to put all of the feeling of a full length novel into a short story. The characters are well developed and soon work their way into your heart. The storyline also has great depth of feeling thanks to the challenging topics the author deals with. There are some touching moments and the one that really touched my heart was the comment Teddie made about her father.
It抯 actually quite amazing how much happens in such a short story, but none of it feels rushed.
28. Which statement is the author抯 view according to Paragraph 1?
A. He couldn抰 get the story抯 deep thoughts.
B. He has always been interested in short stories.
C. He didn抰 expect to visit the village of Tindledale.

C. Monty抯 everlasting love to the family.
D. Teddie expressing her opinion about her father.

Back-to-back hurricanes hit the U.S. Virgin Islands last fall and caused a lot of damage. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has collected more than 736,000 cubic (立方的) yards of rubbish as they rush to clean up St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix, the Virgin Islands’ three major islands, but there is no place to put it. Some of the rubbish is metal (金属), some of it is wood and parts of buildings, but most of it is trees and other plants.
The Army Corps will ship the metal to the U.S. mainland to be sold. After being cut up into small parts, wood and other rubbish will be sent there, too. But it is much harder to get rid of the trees and big plants. The Army Corps wanted to burn the plant waste. It is the cheapest way to get rid of it, which was done in New York and New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
But people in the Virgin Islands thought it could harm their health and the health of the islands, too. The protest (抗议) started on the island of St. John, which is circled by coral reefs (珊瑚礁) and includes a big national park. People on St. Thomas and St. Croix joined in, too.
?Sending the plant waste to the mainland is not a good idea, either. It includes insects that could create problems in other areas. In Puerto Rico, an island in the Caribbean Sea, the Army Corps is cutting plant waste into mulch (护根), which helps improve the soil. People in the Virgin Islands like the idea. But there may not be enough space for all of it.
And some people are tired of waiting. Raphael Munchez, whose home was damaged, is one of those people. 揥e need our government to get back on its feet, he said. 揑t抯 struggling right now. Nobody is worried about pollution right now. We are worried about getting all of this rubbish off the island.
32. What troubled the Army Corps in the Virgin Islands?
A. The severe weather.
B. The mountains of rubbish.
C. The buildings in bad condition.
D. The damage caused by Hurricane Sandy.
33. What did people in the Virgin Islands think of burning the waste?
A. It would not be fairly effective.
B. It would not be environment-friendly.
C. It would help them rebuild their islands.
D. It would destroy coral reefs around the island.
34. What is the government doing now to get rid of the plant waste?
A. Burning it on St. Croix.
B. Sending it to the mainland.
C. Cutting all of it into mulch.
D. Still waiting for a solution.
35. What do Munchez抯 words in the last paragraph suggest?
A. There will be a quick fix.
B. The burning ban wastes time.
C. The government’s struggle is worthy.
D. Pollution should be regarded as a big problem.

Should Australia encourage immigration (移民) and be multicultural???37

选做题
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A?
Until five years ago, Joseph Mwaura was just another ordinary middle-aged Kenyan leading a hard life washing cars at a filling station on a busy highway in Nairobi. He could only earn $10 each day, but with a family of four to feed he had no choice but to stick to this boring job.
Today, Joseph runs several taxi-service cars, employs six people and lives in his own house, besides comfortably meeting his children抯 education needs.
The secret to爄t? Joseph joined a local saving and credit co-operative. Through it, he put aside $4 a day until he had saved enough to be able to borrow three times his savings, enabling him to buy a piece of land and get into the transport business.
The co-operative movement in Kenya has helped millions of people like Joseph, turning ordinary citizens into home and small-business owners through cheap, affordable credit.
Since 1908, when the British government introduced the idea here, the movement has grown to become the most successful in Africa. It is the seventh-largest in the world.
According to the International Labour Organization, Kenya抯 co-operative movement now accounts for 45 per cent of the country抯 GDP, directly employing half a million people and indirectly employing two million more. With a population of 45 million, Kenya has close to 20,000 government-run co-operative societies, with membership standing at over 14 million, according to the International Co-operative Alliance.
Kenyans own the Co-operative Bank of Kenya, which is the third largest bank in the country and the largest co-operative bank in Africa as well as the Co-operative University of Kenya, a public university devoted to the co-operative movement.
With $500 million in assets (资产), and with $400 million in savings, Kenya’s co-operatives are helping millions of poor people.
1. What was Joseph like five years ago?
A. He looked older than his real age.
B. He was always hopeful of his future.
C. He tried his best to support his family.
D. He made great attempts to improve his job skills.
2. The underlined word 搃t in Paragraph 3 refers to Joseph抯 _____.
A. plan
B. change
C. confidence
D. movement
3. What did Joseph have to do to join the co-operative movement?
A. Build a savings plan.
B. Receive some education.
C. Work for a small business owner.
D. Get experience in transport business.
4. How is Kenya抯 co-operative movement developing?

B. It is the most successful in the world.
C. It is employing two million people in all.
D. It is contributing to one third of Kenya抯 GDP.

On December 26, 2004, hundreds of tourists relaxed on Sri Lanka抯 Yala National Park抯 beaches. But at mid-morning the park抯 elephants began crying wildly and charging away from the ocean and up a nearby hill. The puzzled keepers could tell the animals were worried about something. But what?
What the keepers did not know was that a 30-foot wall of water was headed straight toward them. This tsunami had been caused by an earthquake more than 1,000 miles away in the Indian Ocean. When the huge wave hit the coast, it caused severe damage. Many people died. The elephants, however, were not swept away by the water. They stood safely on the hill.
Scientists have long suspected that animals sense natural disasters before humans do. People have told stories of dogs refusing to go outside and sharks swimming to deeper waters before a hurricane. After the 2004 tsunami, people said they saw tigers, monkeys, and water buffalo escaping to higher ground before the waters rushed in. Even in the hardest-hit areas of southern Asia, there were few animal deaths.
It抯 unlikely that an animal抯 so-called sixth sense comes from some magical power to see into the future. Experts believe that animals may be more sensitive than humans to changes in temperature and other environmental conditions that take place before a natural disaster. The elephants in Sri Lanka, for example, may have picked up vibrations (震动) from within the Earth, a sign that danger was coming. Because vibrations in the ground travel much faster than an ocean wave, the elephants may have felt the earthquake that caused the tsunami well before the tsunami itself came to the coast.
A few scientists are calling for a system to track reports of strange behavior in people抯 pets, hoping that these reports can serve as a warning system that a natural disaster is about to happen. But Marina Haynes, an animal behavior scientist at the Philadelphia Zoo, says, 揑t would be an unreliable way to predict disasters. It can be difficult to know what an animal is doing. Is the animal nervous because an earthquake is about to happen or is it frightened because there is an enemy nearby?
5. What happened to the elephants in Sri Lanka抯 Yala National Park on December 26, 2004?
A. They died in the natural disaster.
B. They were disturbed by the tourists.
C. They moved from the hill to the seaside.
D. They behaved strangely before the tsunami.
6. How did the author present animals sixth sense in Paragraph 3?
A. By giving examples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By showing research findings.
D. By telling an interesting story.
7. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. The advantages of being sensitive.
B. The influences of the natural disaster.
C. How animals predict a natural disaster.
D. How elephants make use of their sixth sense.
8. What is Haynes attitude towards a warning system?
A. Delighted.
B. Doubtful.
C. Hopeful.
D. Disappointed.
