19、estival Holi.B One night, Pilar was in a deep sleep when she was woken by her cat Inti. Inti was meowing wildly outside Pilars bedroom and throwing himself against the closed bedroom door. When Pilar opened her eyes, she saw that her bedroom was filled with smoke. As she escaped her house with Inti
20、in her arms, she saw that a fire was burning in her kitchen. Pilar could easily have lost her life, but Inti would not let that happen.

21、the example of Charlotte Lee and her horse, Thunder. One summer night, the whole family was asleep with the windows open. It was normally very quiet where they lived. Suddenly, there was a loud noise. Charlotte woke up from her sweet dream, and the noise continued. Then she heard a horse running fas
22、t towards the house. The next thing she saw was Thunder standing outside her window, neighing (嘶鸣) and shaking his head. She knew something was wrong. Charlotte quickly got everyone out of the house before the earthquake hit. Thunder has saved her life. There are also stories of wild animals coming

In the middle of the attack, a group of dolphins came to his rescue by forming a protective ring around Endris until he
24、 could get safely to the shore. Without the help of the dolphins, there is little chance that Todd could have escaped. No one is sure why animals have so often come to our rescue.

27、eful.C. Frightened.D. Bored.C Four Treasures of the Study（文房四宝）is an expression used to refer to the ink brush（毛笔）, inkstick（墨）, paper and inkstone（砚）used in Chinese calligraphy and painting. The name dates from the time of the Southern and Northern Dynasties (AD 420589). Brushes and ink are two of
28、the well-known “Four Treasures of the Study” tools of Chinese calligraphers, painters and poets over thousands of years. The other two are the rice paper（宣纸）, and the inkstone for grinding（磨）the hard inksticks. The traditional brush can be traced back to the late period of the Stone Age, but became
29、recognised during the Warring States Period (476221 BC). It was improved by Meng Tian, a general of the Qin Dynasty (221206 BC). Brushes are made of animal hair, usually attached to a bamboo stick. Various kinds of animal hair were once used, each having certain characteristics. They can be classifi
30、ed by their size: large, medium and small; and also by the strength: soft (usually taken from goats), medium (taken from rabbits, or a mixture of goat and weasel（黄鼠狼）hair) and hard or stiff (taken from weasel tails). Hair of different animals can be combined to create different qualities. The ink is
31、 commonly made by burning pine or another wood in an earthenware（陶制的）container, mixing thick ash with glue, and pressing it into an ink stick, or another form for easier transport and preservation. An unusual old piece of ink is shaped like a ruyi, which conveys wishes for happiness and good fortune
32、. After shaping, it takes about two years for the ink to dry, in a totally dry and dark environment. Paper is usually made from parts of the rice plant, like rice straw or rice flour. The paper in the old days is very thin and light. Thus it can adsorb ink easily. An inkstone is accurately a stone m
33、ortar（臼）for the grinding and containment of ink. Water is usually dropped on the inkstone, which has a generally flat surface, to grind the inkstick. By mixing ink with different amounts of water, the calligrapher or artist can create countless shades of black and gray.8. When does the name of Four
34、Treasures of the Study date back to?A. The Warring States Period.B. The Stone Age.C. The Southern and Northern Dynasties.D. The Qin Dynasty.9. How many ways of classifying brushes are mentioned in the text?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.10. It can be inferred from the text that _.A. brushes are made
35、 of animal hairB. an inkstone just serves as a containerC. inksticks are usually made into one formD. rice plants are special for making paper11. What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To tell the story of Four Treasures of the Study.B. To explain the features of Four Treasures of the St
36、udy.C. To stress the importance of Four Treasures of the Study.D. To introduce the functions of Four Treasures of the Study.D Mandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the Na
37、tional Zoo in Washington D.C. And on Tuesday, August 23, witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And she was not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orang-utan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then cl
38、imbed to the top of her shelter. Its very different from their normal call, said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. The lemurs (monkey-like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual. But you cant see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you
39、? Maybe you canif youre an animal. Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing, said Brandie Smith. Thats part of their special abilities. Theyre more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive. Primates werent the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened
40、. One of the elephants made a warning sound. And a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes (a kind of birds) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped. So what kind of vibrations (震动) were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist
41、Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of wavesa weak P wave and then a much stronger S wave. The P stands for primary. And the S stands for secondary. She thinks the P wave might be what sets the animals off. Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith said th
42、e zoos giant pandas didnt jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals seemed to know something was coming before it happened. Im not surprised at all, Smith said.12. Why did Mandara act strangely one day?A. Because it sensed something unusual would happen.B. Because its d
43、aughter Kibibi was injured.C. Because it heard an orang-utan let out a loud call.D. Because an earthquake had happened.13. According to Brandie Smith, _.A. many animals hearing is sharpB. earthquakes produce two types of wavesC. primates usually gather together before a quakeD. humans can also devel
44、op the ability to sense a quake14. Which animal seems unable to sense a quake?A. A giant panda.B. A flamingo.C. A lemur.D. A lizard.15. What is the best title for the passage?A. How animals survive a quakeB. How animals differ from humansC. How animals behave before a quakeD. How animals protect the

Every society also has its taboos, or types of behavior that are considered a violation of good manners.The word taboo comes from the Tongan language and is used in modern English
46、 to describe verbal and nonverbal behavior that is forbidden or to be avoided. (1) They tend to be specific to a culture or country, and usually form around a groups values and beliefs.

47、lve topics that people believe are too private to talk about publicly, or relate to ones manner of speaking. In many cultures, for example, it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in public. In some countries, the volume (音量) of ones voice may annoy people. (2) (3) F
48、or example, one of the biggest differences among many Western, Asian, and African cultures is the use of eye contact (接触). In the US, people make eye contact when they talk to others.

49、s, or those of higher rank, as a way to show respect.Certain gestures made with the hands can have very different meanings depending on the country you are in. Crossing your middle finger over your forefinger is the sign for good luck in many western countries. (5) Also, in some Asian countries, mov
50、ing your hands a lot while talking, or “talking with your hands”, is considered unsuitable. Behavior that is acceptable and non-offensive in one culture can be highly offensive in another. When visiting a foreign country, be aware of some of the basic differences, as this will help to ensure a more
