分析 澳大利亚的秋天经常有暴风雨发生,大风像巨大的真空吸尘器一样横扫澳大利亚,夹杂着海藻,木头和甚至是鱼群.所以才会有"鱼群落在田地里和农场的房子上"这种奇怪的现象发生.
解答 36-40 CBEAF
36.C 考查对上下文的理解.根据前一句In February of 1974,Bill Tapp,an Australian farmer,saw a rain of fish that covered his farm可知,1974年的2月,一个澳大利亚的农场主Bill Tapp在他的农场亲眼看到了一场鱼雨.这一句是对感受a rain of fish的推测:当他听到很多的雨撞到他家的屋顶时他一定非常惊奇.故选C.
37.B 考查对上下文的理解.根据前一句What caused this strange occurrence?This is a question that had long puzzled people who study fish可知,是什么原因导致了鱼雨哪?这是一个曾长期困惑研究鱼的人的问题.由此可知这里的意思是:这是因为一场狂风暴雨.故选B.
38.E 考查对上下文的理解.前一句When it is spring in the northern part of the world,it is fall in Australia的意思是:在世界的北部地区还是春天的时候,澳大利亚已经是秋天了.而后一句表达的意思是:大风像巨大的真空吸尘器一样横扫澳大利亚,夹杂着海藻,木头和甚至是鱼群.所以由此推测这里应该是这秋天常有可怕的暴风雨发生,导致洪水泛滥.故选E.
39.A 考查对上下文的理解.根据前一句The strong winds sweep over Australia like huge vacuum cleaners,collecting seaweed,pieces of wood,and even schools of fish的意思可知,大风像巨大的真空吸尘器一样横扫澳大利亚,夹杂着海藻,木头和甚至是鱼群.因此可知这里指的是:大风夹杂着这些自然界的东西漫过很远的地方然后落在田野和房子上,令人惊奇.故选A.
40.F 考查对上下文的理解.前一句They look like millions of dead birds falling down的意思是:Bill Tapp描述鱼雨看起来像数以百万计的死鸟从天而降一样.由此推断出后面应该是:许多鱼在暴风雨的作用下就像自然界中的瀑布一样从天上掉下来.即他的描述不足为奇.故选F.

Being a paradise to many tourists,Tibet has been the dreaming wonderland and attracted tourists all over the world.And now as tourism in Tibet enters the peak season,more and more visitors are longing to travel to the mysterious highland.Meanwhile,they are worried about the altitude sickness (高原反应) which is most likely to experience in Tibet.Experts advised that tourists to Tibet should have a scientific and better understanding of the disease.
Altitude sickness,also known as acute high altitude disease (AHAD),is a common physiological reaction caused by acute exposure to low oxygen content and air pressure and dry weather when people getting up to a place with a certain altitude.
Acute altitude reaction usually occurs within hours or days after a person goes up to a highland above 2,700meters above sea level from a region with a lower altitude.It is believed that most visitors to Tibet will be certain to suffer from at least some symptoms which will generally disappear through acclimatization in several hours to several days.It presents as a collection of nonspecific symptoms including headache,shortness of breath,oppressed feeling in the chest,lack of appetite,fever,dizziness,fatigue or weakness,etc.Some will even take the chance to come down with drowsiness,insomnia,adrenaline surge,nosebleed and so on.
However,experts point out that human bodies can adapt to the surroundings (适应环境) in a gradual way.Therefore,altitude sickness is not that scary.
To prevent the occurrence of altitude sickness,visitors should have a proper preparation in advance and avoid heavy physical activities before they go to Tibet.After getting off the plane,they should try not to carry heavy things,run or avoid outdoor activities as much as possible.
Nifedipinum,Nuodikang Capsule and Suoluomabao Capsule (胶囊),which is also known as Hongjingtian Capsule,may help some people prevent the occurrence of altitude sickness when they are taken three days before people arrive in a highland.
Visitors with a severe cold,a high fever,acute or chronic pulmonary diseases,severe cardiovascular diseases,women in late pregnant and kids under three years old should avoid traveling to regions with a high altitude.
Proper rest,considerate preparation,and enough oxygen uptake can all help to relieve altitude sickness.If a patient does not show any sign of improvements after three to four hours,he/she should go to a hospital for medical treatment.
