004-完形填空-第四篇 动物的第六感
第四篇动物的"第六感"2004 年12 月由印度洋海域地震引发的海啸造成亚洲和东非数万人死亡。
但野生动物们似乎躲过了可怕的海啸的袭击。
有专家表示，这进一步证实了动物对自然灾难有"第六感"的观点。
斯里兰卡负责野生动物的官员表示，巨浪席卷印度洋海岛沿岸，淹死了24000 多人，但野生动物似乎都幸免于难，目前尚未发现一具动物尸体。
斯里兰卡野生动物部门的副部长H. D. 拉特纳亚克在海啸袭击过后一个月说道"没有一头大象死亡，甚至没有一只野兔死亡。
我认为动物能够感知灾难。
它们有‘第六感\它们知道灾难何时发生。
"海啸引发的洪水冲向离岸两英里远的亚拉国家公园，这里是斯里兰卡最大的野生动物保护区，生活着几百头野生大象和一些美洲豹，海啸引发的洪水使亚拉国家公园所在的东南部地区变得一片狼藉。
"每当火山爆发或地震发生前，动物们的行为就会发生许多异常，比如犬吠或鸟类迁徙，但这些现象尚未得到科学证明。
"南非约翰内斯堡动物园的动物行为专家马修·范·利罗普说。
他对路透社记者说"目前还没有这方面的专门研究，因为你无法在实验室或实际环境中做真正的实验。
"其他专家也同意这一看法。
"野生动物似乎能够感知某些特殊现象，尤其是鸟类。
很多报告显示鸟类能察觉即将来临的灾难。
"克莱夫·沃克这样说，他曾经写过数本关于非洲野生动物的书。
一些动物确实是依靠嗅觉或听觉等人类已知的官能来躲避危险的，比如食肉动物。
关于动物"第六感" (或者其他神秘力量)的说法已有很长时间，斯里兰卡被摧残的海滩可能会为这一说法再添一笔证据。
罗马人把猫头鹰视为迫近凶险的征兆，很多古代文明都将大象看作拥有特殊能力或特征的"圣兽"。

综合C级：第一篇Telling Tales about People（综合C）One of the most common types of nonfiction, and one that many people enjoy reading, is stories about people's lives. These stories fall into three general categories: autobiography, memoir, and biography.An autobiography is the story of a person's life written by himself or herself. Often it begins with the person's earliest recollections and ends in the present. Autobiography writers may not be entirely objective in the way they present themselves. However, they offer the reader a good look at the way they are and what makes them that way. People as diverse as Benjamin Franklin and Helen Keller have written autobiographies of other writers, such as James Joyce, have written thinly fictionalized accounts of their lives. These are not autobiographies, but they are very close to it.Memoirs, strictly speaking, are autobiographical accounts that focus as much on the events of the times as on the life of the author. Memoir writers typically use these events as backdrops for their lives. They describe them in detail and discuss their importance. Recently, though, the term memoir seems to be becoming interchangeable with autobiography. A memoir nowadays may or may not deal with the outside world.Biographies are factual accounts of someone else's life. In many senses, these may be the hardest of the three types to write. Autobiography writers know the events they write about because they lived them. But biography writers have to gather information from as many different sources as possible. Then they have to decide which facts to include. Their goal is to present a balanced picture of a person, not one that is overly positive or too critical. A fair, well-presented biography may take years to research and write.1. This passage is mostly about _______.A) the characteristics of autobiographies, memoirs, and biographiesB) famous autobiographiesC) why biography can be difficult to writeD) differences between autobiographies and memoirs2. Helen Keller wrote _______.A) a memoir B) an autobiographyC) a work of fiction D) a biography3. Autobiography writers are not always objective because they _______.A) feel they have to make up details to make their books sellB) constantly compete with biography writersC) want to present themselves in a good lightD) have trouble remembering the good times4. The writer introduces each category in the passage by _______.A) defining itB) giving an exampleC) explaining why it is hard to writeD) telling when people first began writing it5. Diverse means _______.A) able to swim in deep water B) similar or alikeC) varied or different D) enjoying poetry第一篇讲述关于人们的故事最普遍的非小说类文学作品类型之一就是一些描述人们生活的故事，并且很多人喜欢阅读这类作品。

What We Take from and Give to the SeaAs long as we have been on earth,we have used the sea around us.We take from the ocean,and we give to it.We take fishes from the ocean--millions of kilograms of fish,every year,to feedmillions of people.We even use their bones for fertilizer.We take minerals from the ocean.One way to get salt is to place seawater in a shallow basin and leave it until it evaporates.Along with salt,other minerals are left after evaporation.Much gold and silver drift dissolved in the waters of the sea,too1.But the sea does not give them upby simple evaporation.Other gifts from the sea are pearls, sponges and seaweed.Pearls become jewelry.Natural sponges become cleaning aids.Seaweed becomesfood of many kinds一even candy,and ice cream—aswell as medicine.Believe it or not,fresh water is another gift from the sea.We cannot drink ocean water.Some of its contents may cause illness.But ocean water becomes fresh water when the salts areremoved.In the future，we will find ourselves depending more and more on fresh water from the sea.The sea gives us food,fertilizer,minerals,water,and other gifts.What do we give the sea?Garbage.We pollute the ocean when we use it as a garbage dump.Huge as it is,the ocean cannot hold all the water that we pour into it.Dumping garbage into the ocean is killing off sea life.Yet as the world population grows,we may need the sea and its gifts more than ever.We are finally learning that if we destroy our seas,we might also destroy ourselves.Hopefully,it is not too late.51A feed B attract C save D affect52A buy B treat C have D use53A flow B place C pour D throw54A before B until C after D for55A up B in C away D over56A Such B All C Another D Other57A change B become C make D turn58A material B item C product D food59A source B gift C thing D matter60A cure B cause C experience D catch62A costing B working C paying D depending63A gives B gets C teaches D pbtains64A if B when C although D because65A Reducing B Collecting C Removing D Casting。

第四篇 Animal‟s “Sixth Sense”A tsunami was triggered by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean in December, 2004. It killed tens of thousands of people in Asia and East Africa. Wild animals, 1 , seem to have escaped that terrible tsunami. This phenomenon adds weight to notions that 1they possess a “sixth sense” for 2 , experts said.Sri Lankan wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island‟s coast clearly 3 wild beasts, with no dead animals found.“N o elephants arc dead, not 4 a dead rabbit. I think animals can 5 disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening,” H. D. Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lanka‟s Wildlife Department, said about one month after the tsunami attack. The 6 washed floodwaters up to 2 miles inland at Yala National Park in the ravaged southeast, Sri Lanka‟s biggest wildlife 7 and home to hundreds of wild elephants and several leopards. “There has been a lot of 8 evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proven,” said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behavior 9 at Johannesburg Zoo. “There have been no ＿10＿ studies because you can‟t really test it in a lab or field setting 2,” he told Reuters. Other authorities concurred with this 11 . “Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain 12 , especially birds … there are many reports of birdsdetecting impending disasters,” said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife. Animals 13 rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger slid as predators. The notion of an animal “sixth sense” — or 14 other mythical power is an enduring one 3which theevidence on Sri Lanka‟s ravaged coast is likely to add to. The Romans saw owls 15 omens of impending disaster and many ancient cultures viewed elephants as sacred animals endowed with special power or attributes.词汇： tsunami /tsju:5nB:mi / n.海啸 concur /kEn5kE: / v.(with)同意，赞成 trigger /5tri^E / v.引发，触发 impending /im5pendiN / adj.迫近的 ravaged adj.被毁坏的 predator /5predEtE / n.食肉动物 leopard /5lepEd / n.豹 mythical /5miWikEl/ adj.神话般的 eruption /i5rQpFEn / n.喷发 owl /Eul / n.猫头鹰 migrate /mai5^reit / v.迁移 omen /5Eumen / n.预兆，征兆 volcanic /vCl5kAnik / adj.火山的 endow /in5dau / v.赋予注释: 1. adds weight to notions that ：更加相信……2. field setting ：field 意为“实地，野外”， setting 意为“环境”。

A on B as C for D in答案与题解:1. B 第一句说的是海啸造成了巨大的人员伤亡，第二句说的是动物能逃脱海啸的袭击。
两句意思相反，所以要用however以承接上文。
2. C上文说的是：海啸是一种自然灾害，所以“ sixth sense”范围只能是disasters，不能是shelters，foods 或water。
3. A 本句继续在对比海啸造成的人员伤亡和动物能逃脱海啸这一现象。
答案应该是选项A (missed)。
其他三个选项的词义与上下文都不相配。
4. D从上下文判断，本句的意思应该是：没有大象死亡，甚至连一只野兔或兔子也没有死。
“甚至”的英语词是even。
5. D 全文说的是动物的第六感觉，而feel(触觉)，see，hear都属于前五个感觉，所以不是正确答案。
6. A 本句说的是海的巨浪将洪水带到离海岸远达2英里的地方。
正确答案应该是waves。
7. C 从上下文判断，本句的意思应该是：Yala国家公园是斯里兰卡野生动物昀大的保护区，而birthplaces(出生地)、playground (操场)和storage(储存)都与上下文表达的意思接不上，因此不是答案。
reserve的意思是“保护区”不是“储备”或“保留”。
因此，选项C是答案。
8. B 下一句说，这些迹象(evidence)并没有被证实。
因此，这些迹象不可能是scientific的。
而experimental 和chemical的词义与上下文不配合，因此也不是答案。
只有apparent(明显的)与上下文的意思相配。
apparent的迹象还需得到科学的验证。
9. A 在动物园里工作并发表对动物行为的专业性见解的人一定是专家学者(specialist)。
其他的三个选项都不合适。
10. B本段的第一句是说明为什么evidence没有得到科学验证。
原因是科学家无法在实验室或野外进行特定的实验，以验证动物预见灾难的第六感觉。
理解了上下文的意思，就知道选specific是昀合适的。
其他三个选项的词义与上下文不符合，additional，especial和exceptional分别是“额外的”、“特别的”和“例外的”的意思。
11. C concurred with（同意）支配的宾语应该是view，opinion，judgment这一类词。
前面句子说的是某位科学家指出无法验证动物预见灾难的第六感觉的困难所在，其他专家也同意这一看法，所以选assessment 是正确的。
12. D 本句说提动物特别是鸟有捕捉灾难来临前某些征兆的能力。
route (路线)、behavior (行为)和principle (原则)与上述意思相去甚远，只有phenomenon是答案。
13. D 根据常识判断，动物是要信赖味觉、听觉等逃避食肉动物的攻击。
Unwillingly（不情愿地）、occasionally (偶尔)、doubtfully（怀疑地）与上述意思有悖，只有certainly是合适选项。
14. A 从本句的意思判断，应该是“某种神奇的能力”，所以要选some。
15. B本句的意思是“将…看成”，而英语的用词是see …as，所以要选as。
第四篇动物的“第六感”2004年12月由印度洋海域地震引发的海啸造成亚洲和东非数万人死亡。
但野生动物们似乎躲过了可怕的海啸的袭击。
有专家表示，这进一步证实了动物对自然灾难有“第六感”的观点。
斯里兰卡负责野生动物的官员表示，巨浪席卷印度洋海岛沿岸，淹死了两万四千多人，但野生动物似乎都幸免于难，目前尚未发现一具动物的尸体。
