        Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami (海啸), adding weight to
    ideas they possess a "sixth sense" for disasters, experts said on Thursday.
        Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people
    along the Indian Ocean island's coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals
    found.
        "No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense
    disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening," H.D. Ratnayake,
    deputy director of Sri Lanka's Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday.
        The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km (2 miles) inland at Yala National Park in the
    southeast, Sri Lanka's biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants.
    "There has been a lot of evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic
    eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proven," said Matthew van Lierop, an animal
    behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo.
        "There have been no specific studies because you can't really test it in a lab or
    field setting," he said.
        Other authorities agreed with this conclusion.
        "Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenomenon, especially birds. There are
    many reports of birds detecting coming disasters," said Clive Walker, who has written
    several books on African wildlife.
        Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger
    such as predators (食肉动物).
        The idea of an animal "sixth sense" is a lasting one that the evidence on Sri Lanka's
    damaged coast is likely to add to.
    1. This passage is mainly about ______.
    [     ]
    A. the damage that was caused in the Indian Ocean tsunami
    B. why animals can save them from natural disasters
    C. how to protect the wildlife when disaster happens
    D. the different opinions about animals' natural power
    2. Which of the following is true according to the text?
    [     ]
    A. It has been proved that animals have a "sixth sense".
    B. Research has been made on the special movements of animals before disasters.
    C. It's generally considered that animals can sense the coming of disasters.
    D. Animals have depended on the known senses to escape the Indian Ocean tsunami.
    3. What does the term "sixth sense" in the text means?
    [     ]
    A. It is the natural ability of animals that can save them from danger.
    B. It is the animal's imagination in the brain.
    C. It is some hidden power to say in advance that something will happen.
    D. It is a kind of sense that is the same as smell or hearing.
    4. Which section does the text most probably appear in a newspaper?
    [     ]
    A. News Report.
    B. Discovery.
    C. Science Fiction.
    D. Culture.

    四、阅读理解
    There’s a box of chocolates in the fridge. It’s been there for more than a week since I was given it as a present. I do love chocolates, but they make me fat if I eat too many! Can I control myself? If I eat one, will I have to eat all of them?
    My son Harry is obsessed with playing Wii(/wi:/, 任天堂的一款游戏机) games. Sometimes, it’s difficult to get him to concentrate on his homework because he wants to play some more.
    Last week I had to wake up a student in my class. I asked him why he was so tried and he said he had stayed up late to play his favourite Internet game, Farmville. He said he just couldn’t stop playing it! Now his academic work is suffering because he can’t control his urge to play games.
    What my son, my student, and I myself need is simply self-control.
    In the late 1960’s, American psychologist Walter Mischel launched an experiment about self-control. He left a group of four-year-olds in a room and told them that if they could wait 20 minutes, they could have two marshmallows, a kind of sweet. If they couldn’t wait, he would only give them one.
    In videos of the experiment, you can see children squirming, kicking, hiding their eyes—desperately trying to control themselves. Some did wait patiently, while others couldn’t wait a single minute.
    Years later, the self-controlled children turned out to get higher SAT scores and got into better colleges. The children who couldn’t wait were more likely to become bullies.
    So, the chocolates are still in the fridge. My son Harry is doing his homework with a promise that he can play on the Wii later, and my student says he will try harder to control himself. We all have our own temptations. But if we can control them, we will achieve more.
    56. Which of the following is different from the other three?
    A. The writer.                                          B. Harry.
    C. The writer’s student.                             D. Walter Mischel.
    57. We can know from paragraph 5 to paragraph 7 that____________.
    A. all the children got two marshmallows
    B. all the children waited patiently  
    C. self-control can help children succeed later
    D. the children who lack self-control get higher SAT scores
    58. Which of the following statement is true?
    A. The writer is addicted to Wii.
    B. The writer’s son is addicted to Farmville.
    C. The writer’s student is addicted to chocolates.
    D. The writer’s student is addicted to Farmville.
    59. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 5?
    A. Something we can eat.                   B. A kind of toy.
    C. A kind of mushroom.                     D. A kind of prize.

         BEIJING-Apple Inc is one step closer to beginning sales of iPad2 tablet computers with cellular  
    network compatibility (兼容) for the first time in the Chinese mainland, where the consumer-electronics
    giant is in the midst of an aggressive expansion.
         According to China's Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center, a device by Apple with
    third-generation high-speed wireless data capabilities was issued the network access license needed for
    the company to begin official sales in China. The device, listed under model number "A1396", is
    compatible with the 3G standard WCDMA, and would work with the cellular network operated by
    Apple's local iPhone partner, China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd.
           China Unicom declined  to comment.
           Apple already offers the 3G iPad2 in Hong Kong through its partners, but currently only offers
    Wi-Fi versions of the device in the Chinese mainland. Still, consumers in China, which according to
    research firm IDC surpassed  the US as the world's largest PC market in the second quarter, have been
    purchasing 3G tablets through unofficial channels.
           Separately, Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu said on Sept 6 that the company's first Hong Kong
    store, set to open this quarter, will be located in the city's central shopping and business district in the
    International Finance Center's upscale (高档的) IFC mall, a commercial center and sightseeing spot
    along the city's waterfront. Wu also said that Apple is planning a new store in Shanghai later this quarter,
    which will be its biggest store in China. She declined to give more details or to comment on the 3G iPad2.
           Apple currently has four full-service Apple stores in the mainland, which receive the most traffic of
    any Apple stores in the world. The company otherwise relies on resellers to get its products into the
    market.
           The new stores reflect Apple's confidence in rising demand for its products such as smart phones
    and tablet computers. Sales in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan helped boost (增长) the
    company's third-quarter results, newly appointed Chief Executive Tim Cook said in July. China revenue (收益) surged (激增) six-fold to about $3.8 billion during the three months ended June 25.
           "This has been a substantial (重大) opportunity for Apple and I firmly believe that we're just
    scratching the surface right now," Cook said at the time, referring to strong sales in China. "I see an
    incredible opportunity for Apple there."
           From China Daily 2011-09-08
    1. According to the news, which of the following statements is true?     
    A. WCDMA is not the only 3G standard in the world.
    B. Apple Inc sells its products in the market of the Chinese mainland all by its own stores.
    C. The consumers in China can only get iPad2 of Wi-Fi versions.
    D. Chinese mainland is the second largest PC market in this year's second quarter.
    2. Which one of the following phrases can replace the underlined word in paragraph 1?
    A. in the interests of    
    B. in the front of    
    C. in the process of        
    D. in the case of
    3. How many full-service Apple stores are there in China?   
    A. 4.            
    B . 6.            
    C. 8.          
    D. Unknown.
    4. By saying "we're just scratching the surface right now", Cook means ________.    
    A. they don't know much about China's market
    B. they will sell more products and gain more profit in China
    C. they need to obtain more permission from China's government
    D. they ignored the rural market in China
