22、Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami, adding weight to the idea that they have a “sixth sense” for disasters, experts said on Thursday.

Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the 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, 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 (证据)about dogs barking or birds migrating (迁徙)before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proved.” 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 seems to be able to pick up certain signs, 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 (掠食动物),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】What happened after the Indian Ocean tsunami?

A．Many people died but wild animals survived.

B．The ”six sense“ of wild animals developed

C．Wild beasts were killed or went missing

D．The coast was found in good condition.

【2】What does H.D. Ratnayake do?

A．He is a zoo keeper.

B．He is a wildlife official.

C．He is a movie director.

D．He is an animal behaviour expert.

【3】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “detecting” in paragraph 5?

A．Taking up.

B．Putting up.

C．Picking up.

D．Bringing up.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Why animals can save themselves from natural disasters.

B．The different opinions about animals’ natural power.

C．How to protect wildlife when disasters happen.

D．The serious damage of the Indian Ocean tsunami.

23、There was a time, not that long ago, when women were considered smart if they played dumb to get a man, and women who went to college were more interested in getting a “Mrs. Degree” than a bachelor’s. Even today, it's not unusual for a woman to get whispered and unrequested counsel from her grandmother that an advanced degree could hurt her in the marriage market.

“There were so many misperceptions out there about education and marriage that I decided to sort out the facts,” said economist Betsey Stevenson, an assistant professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. So along with Wharton colleague Adam Isen, Stevenson calculated national marriage data from 1950 to 2008 and found that the marriage penalty women once paid for being well educated has largely disappeared.

“In other words, the difference in marriage rates between those with college degrees and those without is very small,” said Stephanie Coontz, a family historian at Evergreen State College. The new analysis also found that while high-school dropouts had the highest marriage rates in the 1950s, today college-educated women are more likely to marry than those who don’t finish high school.

Of course, expectations have changed dramatically in the last half century. “In the 1950s, a lot of women thought they needed to marry right away,” Coontz said. “Real wages were rising so quickly that men in their 20s could afford to marry early. But they didn’t want a woman who was their equal. Men needed and wanted someone who knew less.” In fact, she said, research published in 1946 documented that 40 percent of college women admitted to playing dumb on dates. “These days, few women feel the need to play down their intelligence or achievements,” Coontz said.

The new research has more good news for college grads. Stevenson said the data indicate that modern college-educated women are more likely to be married before age 40, are less likely to divorce, and are more likely to describe their marriages as “happy.” The marriages of well-educated women tend to be more stable because the brides are usually older as well as wiser, Stevenson said.

【1】Not long ago, it was believed that women went to college in order to ________.

A．find a husband

B．get smart in the marriage market

C．learn to be a good wife

D．marry someone with a bachelor’s degree

【2】According to the first paragraph, what grandmother whispers to her granddaughter is usually ________.

A．taken as a warning

B．regarded as out-of-date

C．given voluntarily

D．accepted unwillingly

【3】What did Betsey Stevenson find about well-educated women in the past?

A．Their marriage rate was higher than at present.

B．Their marriage rate was lower than at present.

C．Their divorce rate was higher than at present.

D．Their divorce rate was lower than at present.

【4】The effect of education on marriage has been found to be ________.

A．favorable

B．insignificant

C．long-lasting

D．extensive

24、   Dolphins are much more intelligent than humans previously thought. Scientists have recently discovered that bottle-nosed dolphins can recognise themselves in the mirror—much like you and I can!

When you see a zit (青春痘) on your face, what do you do? Go to the mirror time and again, and wonder what it is still doing there. Well, this is exactly what two male bottle-nosed dolphins, Presley and Tab, do as well. So, these lovable animals are not just sailors, friends, but they are also aware of their bodies-almost like humans!

Presley and Tab stay in a pool with reflective glass walls in the New York Aquarium. Researchers noticed that when Presley and Tab saw their own reflections, unlike most other animals, they did not seem to think that they were looking at another dolphin. Dolphins are very social creatures, and are friendly with humans as well as their own kind. This got the researchers thinking. Perhaps the dolphins recognised their own images? So they decided to find it out.

Using special ink, they made marks on different parts of the dolphins’ bodies, changing the place every week. Every time their bodies were marked, the dolphins made more trips to the mirror than usual. If the ink mark was on their belly (腹部), they would expose their belly to the mirror and look at it for a long time. Imagine the dolphins wondering—“Now where did that mark come from? Is it dangerous? I wonder how long it’s going to stay.”

Till now, only the great apes have displayed this quality of recognising their images in the mirror. All other animals have failed this test. The researchers feel that these findings may increase human sensitivity towards dolphins, which are being hunted and killed in great numbers. Dolphin fins (鳍) are considered as deliciousness in several South-East Asian countries.

【1】What is the scientists’ recent finding about dolphins?

A.Dolphins are social creatures friendly with humans.

B.Dolphins are not so intelligent as humans.

C.Dolphins can make correct use of mirror.

D.Dolphins have zits just like humans.

【2】What do most animals regard their images in mirror as?

A.The competitors of them. B.Their own reflections.

C.Their natural enemies. D.Others of their kind.

【3】Why did the dolphins look into mirror more according to the text?

A.To look for their partners.

B.To show their belly.

C.To watch their own beauty.

D.To concern for their safety.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Dolphins—sailors’ friends.

B.Dolphins, reaction to the mirror.

C.Dolphins are smarter than before.

D.Dolphins are cleverer than humans.
