It caused a huge tsunami that hit the coasts of Indonesia, Thailand, India, and Sri Lanka. The waves reached up to 30 meters high. More than 230,000 people lost their lives. Why was the tsunami so deadly? One reason was that there was no early warning system in the Indian Ocean at that time. People did not know the waves were coming. Many were on the beaches and had no time to run to higher ground. After this disaster, many countries worked together to build a tsunami warning system. Now, when an earthquake occurs, authorities can send alerts to people’s phones. This gives them time to move to safe areas. The 2004 tsunami taught the world a hard lesson: early warning saves lives. Today, we also have drills in schools to practice what to do when a natural disaster strikes. 41. When did the Indian Ocean tsunami happen? A. On December 26, 2005. B. On December 26, 2004. C. On January 26, 2004. D. On January 26, 2005. 42. How high were the waves? A. Up to 20 meters. B. Up to 30 meters. C. Up to 40 meters. D. Up to 50 meters. 43. Why did so many people die? A. Because the earthquake was too small. B. Because there was no warning system. C. Because people refused to leave. D. Because the waves came at night. 44. What did countries do after the disaster? A. They stopped traveling to the ocean. B. They built a tsunami warning system. C. They moved people away from the coast. D. They stopped using phones. 45. What is the main lesson of this passage? A. Tsunamis are not dangerous. B. Earthquakes always cause tsunamis. C. Early warning systems save lives. D. People should never live near the ocean. C Can Animals Predict Natural Disasters? For centuries, people have reported strange animal behavior before earthquakes, tsunamis, and other disasters. For example, before a big earthquake in China in 1975, snakes came out of their holes in winter and died on the roads. Birds flew away, and cows refused to enter their barns. Because of these signs, officials ordered people to leave the city. Thousands of lives were saved. Scientists are still not sure how animals detect disasters. Some think they can feel small vibrations (震动) that humans cannot feel. Others believe they sense changes in the air or ground chemicals. Although animal behavior is not a perfect warning system, it can be a helpful sign. Today, researchers are studying animal movements with modern technology. They hope to use this information together with scientific instruments to warn people earlier. So, if you see your dog acting strangely or birds flying away suddenly, keep an eye out. It might be nature’s way of telling you something. 46. What happened in China in 1975 before the earthquake? A. Birds stayed in their nests. B. Snakes came out of holes in winter. C. Dogs barked happily. D. Fish jumped into boats. 47. Why did officials ask people to leave the city? A. Because they saw the earthquake. B. Because animals showed strange behavior. C. Because a tsunami was coming. D. Because the government ordered a drill. 48. How do scientists think animals might detect disasters? A. They see the future. B. They feel small vibrations or smell changes. C. They talk to each other. D. They listen to the radio. 49. The underlined word “detect” most likely means ______. A. cause B. avoid C. notice D. forget 50. What is the writer’s attitude towards using animals to predict disasters? A. It is a perfect system. B. It is useless. C. It can be helpful but not perfect. D. It is dangerous. 第五部分 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答下列问题。 Early Warning Systems for Natural Disasters Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons can strike suddenly. However, modern technology has helped us create early warning systems that save lives. One example is the earthquake early warning system. When an earthquake occurs, sensors detect the first, less-damaging waves (P-waves) that travel faster than the destructive waves (S-waves). The system sends an alert to people’s phones, giving them seconds to minutes to take cover. Japan has one of the most advanced systems in the world. Another example is the tsunami warning system. After the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, countries placed buoys (浮标) in the ocean. These buoys detect changes in water pressure caused by tsunamis. The information is sent to warning centers, and alerts are sent to coastal communities. There are also satellite systems that track typhoons and wildfires. Satellites can see large amounts of smoke from wildfires or the spiral shape of a typhoon. Authorities can then advise people to evacuate (疏散) or stay indoors. These inventions have greatly reduced the number of deaths from natural disasters. But they only work if people know how to respond. That is why we must learn what to do when we receive an alert. 51. How do earthquake early warning systems detect an earthquake? 52. Which country has one of the most advanced earthquake warning systems according to the passage? 53. What do buoys in the ocean measure? 54. How do satellites help with typhoons? 55. Why must people learn to respond to alerts properly? 第六部分 补全对话（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据对话内容，从方框中选择恰当的句子补全对话，使对话完整、通顺（有两项多余）。 A: Hi, Lisa. You look pale. What’s wrong?
