This can be important, because earthquakes can kill people. If animals can predict the earthquake, they may help save people’s lives. Some animals make a lot of noise before an earthquake. If dogs are usually quiet, they will bark (吠叫) loudly before an earthquake. And you can see some strange things on other animals. Mice leave their homes and run away. Fish jump out of the water. In Italy, lots of cats ran down the streets together. Only a few hours later, an earthquake came. In the US, a man had some small pet frogs in his house. One Sunday night, the frogs kept jumping around and made loud noise. This woke up the man. That night, again it was an earthquake and luckily, the man was saved. Right now, there is no sure way to know when an earthquake is coming. But scientists think that watching animal behavior (行为) may help. 1. What do some animals do before an earthquake? A．Keep quiet. B．Jump into water. C．Stay at home. D．Shout loudly. 2. Which animal is NOT mentioned in the passage? A．A horse. B．A mouse. C．A fish. D．A cat. 3. In the first paragraph, the word “predict” means (意思是) ________. A．know later B．know earlier C．describe D．stop 4. What can we know from the story of the man in the US? A．He heard a loud noise from outside. B．He was unhappy because the frogs woke him up. C．His frogs saved his life. D．He knew the earthquake and told people to run. 5. What is the main idea of the passage? A．Earthquake can be very dangerous for people. B．Some animals can predict earthquakes and save people’s lives. C．Animals are a sure way to tell when an earthquake is coming. D．Animal behavior sometimes can be different. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B 4. C 5. B 【导语】本文主要介绍了某些动物在地震前会表现出异常行为，这些行为可能预示着地震的到来，从而帮助人们提前做好准备。 1. 细节理解题。根据“Some animals make a lot of noise before an earthquake.”，可知一些动物在地震前会制造很多噪音。而D选项“Shout loudly”与“make a lot of noise”意思相近，表示大声叫喊或制造噪音。故选D。 2. 细节理解题。根据“Mice leave their homes and run away. Fish jump out of the water.”以及“In Italy, lots of cats ran down the streets together.”可知文中提到了老鼠、鱼、猫的异常行为。但并未提及马这一动物。故选A。 3. 词句猜测题。根据文中“If animals can predict the earthquake, they may help save people’s lives.”，可知“predict”在这里表示的是提前知道地震将要发生，从而可能帮助拯救人们的生命。选项中只有B选项“know earlier”与“predict”意思相近，表示提前知道。故选B。 4. 细节理解题。根据“This woke up the man. That night, again it was an earthquake and luckily, the man was saved.”，可知是这个男人的青蛙通过制造噪音唤醒了他，而随后发生了地震，他因此得救。所以我们可以知道是这个男人的青蛙救了他的命。故选C。 5. 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，文章主要介绍了有些动物能够预测地震并可能帮助拯救人们的生命，同时强调了地震的危险性，但主旨是围绕动物预测地震的能力展开的。因此，B选项“Some animals can predict earthquakes and save people’s lives”最能概括文章的主旨。故选B。 Passage 2 Traditional (传统的) Chinese medicine (TCM) is great with a long history of more than 2, 000 years in China. About TCM, there is acupuncture (针灸), medicine, exercise, such as tai chi and qigong, and so on. Today, TCM is not only well-known in Asia, but also more and more popular in the US.

Frank Griffo is an acupuncturist (针灸师) in California for about 18 years. In 2005, he graduated (毕业) from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco. He then spent seven years studying acupuncture. “There are more than 60, 000 acupuncturists in the US right now. Chinese medicine is growing dramatically in these years,” Griffo said. Before the 1970s, most people in the US didn’t know acupuncture.

Koalas live in eucalyptus trees (桉树) and feed on the tree leaves. They usually sleep about 20 hours a day. The word “koala” means “no drink” because they don’t drink water very often. They get all the water they need from the yummy leaves they eat. A koala mom usually has one baby at a time. When the baby is born (出生), it is only 2 cm long. It has no hair, no ears, and can’t see anything. It lives in its mom’s pouch (育儿袋), and stays there for about 6 months. That’s when it starts to see and grows ears and hair.

But that doesn’t stop the fishermen of Songyuan City in Jilin Province. Each morning, they get up early and rush to Chagan Lake with a group of horses. The fishermen use the horses to help pull fishing nets out of the frozen lake. For centuries, those living around Chagan Lake have kept alive the tradition of ice fishing.

Every year in December, there is a winter fishing festival, which marks the beginning of the winter fishing season.

Also, overfishing is one of the main reasons. To bring Chagan Lake’s beauty back, the government used a lot of different methods. They brought in water from the Songhua River, grew more plants, and kept the water clean. The lake now covers about 500 square kilometers, and fish numbers have returned to a normal level. Now, an increasing number of tourists flock to the lake each year to experience the ancient ice-fishing tradition. The special event of ice fishing at Chagan Lake is sure to continue into the future.

Passage 2 Traditional (传统的) Chinese medicine (TCM) is great with a long history of more than 2, 000 years in China.

Passage 4 Koalas are often called koala bears, but they are not bears. They have small eyes, a big nose and round ears. And they have no tails. They can run as fast as a rabbit. They can also climb trees very well. Koalas live in eucalyptus trees (桉树) and feed on the tree leaves. They usually sleep about 20 hours a day. The word “koala” means “no drink” because they don’t drink water very often. They get all the water they need from the yummy leaves they eat. A koala mom usually has one baby at a time. When the baby is born (出生), it is only 2 cm long. It has no hair, no ears, and can’t see anything. It lives in its mom’s pouch (育儿袋), and stays there for about 6 months. That’s when it starts to see and grows ears and hair. After 8 to 9 months, it’s too big to get into the pouch, so it spends all its time on its mother’s back. At about 12 months, it leaves its mom to build its home. Usually, a koala can live for 16 years. Now koalas are in great danger. Their numbers are dropping every year. A group called Bangalow Koalas started in 2019 to help save them. They’ve planted over 336,000 eucalyptus trees, and they want to plant 500,000 more by 2025.

But that doesn’t stop the fishermen of Songyuan City in Jilin Province. Each morning, they get up early and rush to Chagan Lake with a group of horses. The fishermen use the horses to help pull fishing nets out of the frozen lake. For centuries, those living around Chagan Lake have kept alive the tradition of ice fishing. They dig holes through the thick ice and use a huge net to catch winter fish in the freezing water. This special method has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). Every year in December, there is a winter fishing festival, which marks the beginning of the winter fishing season. Over 20 activities are held during the festival, such as winter sports competitions, nature watching, and the selling of the first-caught fish. None of the tourists would ever imagine that Chagan Lake used to be only tens of square kilometers in size. In the past, there was little rainfall and the lake grew smaller over time. Also, overfishing is one of the main reasons. To bring Chagan Lake’s beauty back, the government used a lot of different methods.
