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.. A.showing research findings（3）The underlined word vibrations in paragraph 4 means telling interesting storiesB.. A.They behaved strangely before the tsunami.（2）The author supports his point of view in paragraph 3 mainly by They were disturbed by the tourists.C.They died in the natural disaster. A few scientists are calling for a system to track reports of strange behavior in people39。s unlikely that an animal39。 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 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. The puzzled keepers could tell the animals were worried about something but what?s Yala National Park39。7．閱讀理解 s（獵物）position”可知，虎甲蟲的移動(dòng)比眼睛快，基本上是盲目的，這就要求它不時(shí)地停下來，重新評估獵物的位置，由此可知，為了抓住移動(dòng)的獵物，虎甲蟲需要不時(shí)地停下來確定獵物的位置，故選C。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“According to a team of researchers，an animal39。Try to run as fast as it can.【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了對動(dòng)物時(shí)間感知的研究。Stop occasionally to spot the prey again.B.Slow down to gain its time perception.They can fly much faster than their eyes can keep up.D.They can think very deeply before they act.B.The ability of animals to perceive time depends on their high moving speed.D.The survival of fast moving animals relies on their ability to perceive time.B.Time perception of animals.（2）What does Kevin Healy39。Impressive abilities of animals.C.Pace of life of animals. s(獵物)position. Professor Graeme Ruxton of the University of St Andrews in Scotland, who worked jointly on the research project, said in a statement, Having eyes that send updates to the brain at much higher frequencies than our eyes do is of no value if the brain cannot process that information equally quickly. Thus, this work highlights the impressive abilities of even the smallest animal brains. Flies might not be deep thinkers, but they can make good decisions very quickly. The study was done with a variety of animals using phenomenon based on the maximum speed of flashes of light an individual can see before the light source is seen as constant. Dogs, for example, have eyes with a refresh rate higher than humans. s ability to perceive(感知)time is linked to their pace of life. 6．閱讀理解 故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Such chemicallybased storage materials, known as Solar Thermal Fuels(STF), have been developed before. ”這種以化學(xué)反應(yīng)為基礎(chǔ)的儲(chǔ)存材料，即太陽能熱燃料(STF)，以前就已經(jīng)被開發(fā)出來了，可知，STF是以化學(xué)反應(yīng)為基礎(chǔ)。故選D。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解?；蛘?，再想象一下車的擋風(fēng)玻璃可以儲(chǔ)存太陽的能量，然后釋放熱量使擋風(fēng)玻璃上的冰消失)可推測，本段以衣服和騎車擋風(fēng)玻璃為例，提到了如果衣服能夠吸熱和放熱、汽車的擋風(fēng)玻璃能夠吸熱和自動(dòng)除冰那該是多么好的事，以此來吸引對著對本文的興趣。根據(jù)第一段“Imagine your clothing could release enough heat to keep you warm and cozy, allowing you to stay fortable in a cooler room. Or, picture a car windshield that stores the sun39。 imagination. interest readers in the passage. introduce a new kind of material.（2）According to the passage, what can the polymer film do? can be made into window glass. can make necessary electricity. can store energy and release sunshine. can absorb sunshine and give off heat.（3）According to the passage, what is STF based on? chemical reaction. movement of heat. form of electricity. physical reaction.（4）What is the advantage of the molecular configuration? is less expensive. is very powerful. is easily available. is less changeable.【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一種新型材料，它可以通過自身吸熱并儲(chǔ)存熱量，之后能夠根據(jù)需要釋放熱。 The key to enabling longterm, stable storage of solar heat, the team said, is to store it in the form of a chemical change rather than storing the heat itself. But heat will disappear over time no matter how good the material around it is, so the team set up a chemical storage system that can keep the energy in a stable molecular configuration. When exposed to sunlight, the molecules can stay that way for long periods Then, when triggered (觸發(fā))by a very specific temperature or something else, the molecules return to their original shape , giving off heat in the process.Solar energy is only available about half the time we need it — during daylight. For the sun to bee a major power provider for human needs, there has to be an efficient way to save it up for use during nighttime and stormy days. Most such efforts have focused on storing and recovering solar energy in the form of electricity, but the new finding, by MlI professor Jeffrey Grossman, Postdoc David Zhitomirsky and graduate student Eugene Cho, could provide a highly efficient method for storing the sun39。 s energy and then releases it as heat to make the ice on the windshield
