Scientists have begun to understand what farmers have known 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 cage. All of this unusual behavior, as well as physical changes in the earth, warned Chinese scientists of the coming quake. They moved people away from the danger zone and saved thousands of lives.One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which types of animal behavior predict quakes. Its not an easy job. First of all, not every animal reacts 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 enclosure. The Australian horse next to him, however, remained perfectly calm. Its also difficult at times to tell the difference between normal animal restlessness and “earthquake nerves”A zoo keeper once called earthquake researchers, saying that his cougar 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 sense tiny changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism of the earth. This extra sense probably helps animals predict quakes.A good example of this occurred with a group of dogs. They were shut in an area that was being shaken by a series of tiny earthquakes.(Several small quakes often come before or after a large one. ) Before each quake a low booming sound was heard. Each boom caused the dogs to bark wildly. Then the dogs began to bark during a silent period. A scientist who was recording quakes looked at his machine. It was acting as though there were a loud noise too. The scientist realized that the dogs had reacted to a booming noise. They also sensed the tiny quakes that followed it. The machine recorded both, though humans felt and heard nothing.In this case there was a machine to monitor what the dogs were sensing. Many times, however, our machines record nothing extraordinary, even though animals know a quake is coming. The animals might be sensing something we measure but do not recognize as a warning.Discovering what animals sense, and learning how they know it is a danger signal, is a job for future scientists.語篇解讀：利用動物進行地震前的預測不失為一種好方法，種種事實表明，動物在地震之前往往先知先覺，它們的異常表現(xiàn)也許就是地震的征兆。1Through the passage the writer hopes to explore _.Awhy animals send a danger signal before an earthquakeBhow animals know when an earthquake is comingCwhy animals not humans have a good sense of dangerDhow much animals know about an earthquake解析：作者意圖題。文章開門見山地指出科學家們找到了預測地震的幫手動物，下文則詳細分析了動物在地震前的異常反應，再結合最后一段中的內容可知作者希望探尋動物如何知道地震將要發(fā)生。答案：B2During an earthquake in China in 1975 _.Achickens refused to go out of their cageBsnakes were frozen to death in their cavesCsnakes awoke from their winter sleep earlierDcows broke their halters and escaped from their sheds解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段中的內容可知在1975年發(fā)生在中國的一次地震中，蛇提前從冬眠中蘇醒，結果被凍死。答案：C3Which of the following is one of earthquake nerves according to the passage?AAn Arabian horse tried to escape from his enclosure.BA cougar had an upset stomach unexpectedly.CAn Australian horse was perfectly calm.DA cat acted very strangely in a zoo.解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段中的“.an Arabian horse became very nervous and tried to break out of his enclosure.”可判斷A項正確。答案：A4The scientists did an experiment with a group of dogs to _.Afind out that the machine could record unusual happeningsBcompare the reactions of animals and those of humansCprove that animals could sense more than humansDfind out what exact warnings animals send解析：推理判斷題。第四段中提到動物的感覺比人類更敏銳，下文則用狗的實驗進行例證，由此可推斷C項正確。答案：C.選做題任務型讀寫Life is what we make of it. How can we make our life better? Through focus focusing on one thing and getting it done. Learning to focus can help us in many ways. It can help us realize what we really want in life. It can help us make good decisions. It can also help us accept ourselves just the way we are. Focus can help us gain power and happiness.Focus, or concentration, is a skill that can be taught, so there are some exercises you can do to improve your focus. Start with easy exercises like staring at a picture on the wall for a few minutes without moving or talking to anyone. Once you learn how to block out your surroundings, your focus will improve.Learn to manage your pressure. Many athletes require intense focus in their training and games. They try to spare some time to calm themselves down. It isnt enough to just practice your shots because when game time comes, the stress and tension can make one miss a shot. This is when focus comes into play.Another mind exercise you can do is picturing yourself in a desired situation, and then you work around your picture. Actors do this a lot to block out laughter or noise. An example of this would be to imagine yourself in a potentially stressful situation, like a singer in a concert. Try to play out the scene in your mind what you would do if different things are to happen. This can actually be a lot of fun, and you learn how to improve your focus by concentrating on one thing only.If this sounds a little strange to you, you could try another strategy. Why not make lists? Make a list of the things you need to accomplish. Study your lists carefully and see where you can move things around. Planning helps you focus. It will also not stress you out.A better way to improve your focus is to take breaks. Dont spend it with your coworkers beside the coffee machine talking about problems in the office. Doing this will actually cause your stress and cause you to lose focus on the things that need to be done. Your breaks should be as quiet as possible. Read a book or take a walk. Go and do something that will give your brain a rest.The reason why we lose focus so easily is because we have too much on our minds. Of course, it could also because you are bored with nothing to do. A good balance between a too relaxed brain and a too active brain is necessary. Find your ability to work, and try not to waste your time. Improving your focus also mean knowing what you can do and being confident about doing it well.Title: Improving your focus(1)_ of learning to focusIt can help us realize what we really want in life，make good decisions，hold positive (2)_ towards ourselves，and gain power and happiness.Tips on improving focusStart with easy exercises to make yourself (3)_ from your surroundings.Keep (4)_ when managing your pressure.Use your (5)_ and play out the scene in your mind.Make a list to make things well (6)_Take (7)_ breaks to give your brain a rest.Make a good (8)_ between a too relaxed brain and a too active brain.Find your ability to work with (9)_(10)_ for our losing focusOur minds are full of things.We feel bored with nothing to do.答案：1.Benefits2.attitudes/views3.free4.calm5.imagination6.planned7.quiet8.balance9.confidence10.Reasons短文填詞May 3rd, Friday FineThis afternoon, on my way to see a film, I saw acase f_ off a mans bike.
