10、B 、C 和 D ）中，选出最佳选项。 AIt was Saturday, so Mr. Smith did not have to go to work. It had snowed heavily the night before, and Mr. Smiths son Bobby had a new sledge (雪橇), which he had been very eager to try out for a long while. There was a good slope (斜坡) in a park not far away from the Smiths house a

11、slope which children often used for their sledges, so Mr. Smith agreed to take Bobby there in the car. They put the sledge in and went off. When they reached the park, they found that there were already a lot of boys there, each boy with a sledge of his own. They were sliding down the slope at great

12、 speed, and then pulling their sledges up again for another go. Mr. Smith stood by, watching them with a smile. It was obvious that each and every one of them had much fun. After a few moments, Mr. Smith suddenly saw among the boys a kid who was small and poorly-dressed, and did not have a sledge. T

13、his boy had flattened out one old cardboard box, and was sliding down the slope on that. Mr. Smith felt very sorry for this poor boy, and determined to tell his son Bobby to share his new sledge with the boy. But before he could catch Bobby to speak to him, he was somewhat surprised and much more de

14、lighted to notice that several of the older boys in the park were already offering the poor boy their nice sledges. Mr. Smith watched them with greater interest and suddenly realized that the bigger boys were not doing this because they felt sorry for the poor boy, but because they enjoyed riding on

15、 his cardboard box more than on their own sledges. They were actually waiting eagerly and impatiently for a turn on the flattened cardboard box!21. What did Bobby desire to do for a long time? A. To test and play with his new sledge. B. To make a new icy slope by himself.C. To skate with his father

16、in the nearby park.D. To ride in his fathers car on a snowy night.22. What did Mr. Smith notice shortly after arriving at the park? A. Some boys were waiting for their turns to slide patiently.B.

A. the bigger boys enjoyed riding on their sledges more than on the boxB. the small and poor boy had already got a new sledge from his parents

18、C. all the boys were sharing the flattened cardboard box in turns politelyD. some of the bigger boys had already offered their sledges to the poor boy24.

19、ct gift for the bigger boys.C. Simple and unusual things are sometimes popular among the kids.D. Actually the bigger boys wanted to help the poor boy in some way.BDuring the tsunami (海啸) disaster of 2004, over 300,000 people died. No one has counted the number of animals killed, but we know that it

20、wasnt many. All over the region, before the disaster struck, animals were behaving strangely.Shortly before the tsunami, in Khaolak, Thailand, twelve elephants that were giving tourists rides became agitated. They suddenly left their usual habitat, carrying four surprised Japanese tourists to safety

21、. On the eastern coast of India, flamingos (火烈鸟), which should be breeding at this time of year, suddenly flew to higher ground. Of the two thousand wild pigs that live in an Indian nature reserve, only one was found dead after the tsunami.The idea that the animals are able to predict disasters is n

22、othing new. In fact, it has been well-recorded over the years. Twelve hours before Hurricane Charlie hit Florida in 2004, fourteen sharks left their natural habitat and stayed in deep waters for two weeks. The sharks, which were being observed by US scientists, had never done this before. They escap

23、ed the hurricane. In the winter of 1975 in Haicheng, China, snakes which would normally have been hibernating (冬眠) were seen on the ground. Days later there was a big earthquake striking.Unlike human beings, wild animals senses are sharper and they can feel even the smallest changes in the environme

24、nt. In other words, they see natural warnings that are invisible to the human eye. Ancient people probably had the similar “senses”, which they needed to survive, but these have been lost to us as modern technology leads us further away from the danger that nature creates.The real question is, can w

25、e use the reactions of animals to save ourselves from natural disasters? Animal behaviour expert, Rupesh Kaneira, believes we have no choice. “The technology which we rely on isnt always perfect, and in poorer countries it isnt even available. Animals know the environment better than any of us. When

26、 they run for their lives, we must follow.”25. The underlined word “agitated” in Paragraph 2 probably means _. A. worried and nervous B. tired and uneasy C. disappointed and sad D. excited and happy26. How is the third paragraph developed? A. By giving explanations. B. By listing examples.C. By pres

27、enting the reasons. D. By comparing the differences.27. The wild animals can predict the natural disasters because they _. A. can run for their lives when natural disasters happenB. dont even have the modern technology to help themC. are being observed and tracked for scientific experimentsD. are qu

28、ick to notice the slightest changes in the environment28. The best title of the passage might be _. A. Few Animals Died in Tsunami B. Animals React to the DisastersC.
