(3)考查詞義猜測(cè)。即使在受災(zāi)最嚴(yán)重的南亞地區(qū),也很少有動(dòng)物死亡。根據(jù)第三段中的“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 hardesthit areas of southern Asia, there were few animal deaths.”人們講過這樣的故事:狗不愿出門,鯊魚在颶風(fēng)前游到較深的水域。由此可知,2004年12月26日,亞拉國(guó)家公園的大象在海嘯前表現(xiàn)得很奇怪,故選D。根據(jù)第一段中的“But at midmorning the park39。Supportive.【答案】 (1)D(2)A(3)C(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,長(zhǎng)期以來,科學(xué)家們一直懷疑動(dòng)物比人類更能感知自然災(zāi)害。Hopeful.Doubtful.Positive.serious environmental pollution(4)What may be Marina Haynes39。a kind of chemical powerC..

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 hardesthit areas of southern Asia, there were few animal deaths.s elephants began crying wildly and running away from the ocean and up a nearby hill.

This cooling likely helps p可知 風(fēng)洞實(shí)驗(yàn)表明,當(dāng)氧氣濃度最低時(shí),鵝的心率和翅膀搏動(dòng)頻率保持不變,即使它們的新陳代謝率下降。 (2)考查推理判斷。由此可推斷出研究人員飼養(yǎng)這種鵝是為了證實(shí)這種鵝是否能飛過珠峰。再根據(jù)最后一段中的So it39。根據(jù)第一段中的In 1953, a mountain climber reported seeing a barheaded goose soar over the peak of Mount Everest. It was thought impossible. 報(bào)道說,一名登山者看到一只斑頭鵝飛過珠穆朗瑪峰。結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)這種鵝可以在氧氣極低的情況下飛行,但停留時(shí)間只有幾分鐘,因此能否飛過珠峰尚不明確。D.C.B.Whether they can manage to fly 8 hours to climb over Mount Everest.(4)Where does the text most probably e from?
