11.Animals Can Sense Natural Disasters
Among the dead in South Asia's tsunami(海啸)were many tourists at Sri Lanka's national wildlife park at Yala.But very few of the park's animals-elephants,buffaloes,monkeys and wild cats-appear to have died.There are theories that animals can sense natural disasters and run away to safety.
First,it's possible that the animals may have heard the quake before the tsunami hit.The underwater burst produced sound waves known as infrasound(次声).Humans can't hear infrasound,but many animals including dogs,elephants,tigers and pigeons can.
A second early warning sign the animals might have sensed is ground vibration(震动).The great quake would have produced vibrational waves known as Rayleigh waves.These vibrations move through the ground like waves moving on the surface of the ocean but faster.They travel at ten times the speed of sound.The Rayleigh waves would have reached Sri Lanka hours before the water hit.Mammals,birds,insects and spiders can sense Rayleigh waves.So the animals at Yala might have felt the Rayleigh waves and then run to higher ground.
But what about humans?While we can't hear infrasound,we can feel it,although we don't necessarily know we're feeling it.We also experience Rayleigh waves by special sensors in our joints(关节),which exist just for that purpose.Sadly,it seems we don't pay attention to the information when we get it.Maybe we screen it out because there's so much going on before our eyes and in our ears.

56.Why did few animals at Yala die when the tsunamis that caused a huge number of human deaths hit?D
A.Because human beings cannot hear the infrasonic sound.
B.Because the animals were staying at a higher place in the park.
C.Because the animals were able to run much faster than human beings.
D.Because the animals might have picked up the danger signals and ran away.
57.Which of the statements about"Rayleigh waves"is true?A
A.Rayleigh waves can be felt both by animals and human beings.
B.Rayleigh waves,just like infrasonic sound,can only be felt by animals.
C.Rayleigh waves are vibrational waves that usually cause quakes or tsunamis.
D.Rayleigh waves move on the ocean surface at a speed ten times that of sound waves.
58.According to the passage,which of the statement is true?B
A.We can't feel the infrasound so we can't be informed of the danger.
B.We ignore the information of tsunami's coming even though we can also get it.
C.We were so busy on our minds that we feel neither infrasound nor Rayleigh waves.
D.We can feel Rayleigh waves and infrasound so we can escape the danger like animals.
15.As a professor I have grown accustomed to the opinion regarding American education.We are repeatedly told that American schools are failing,that colleges are not teaching,and that the students of today are not as good as the students of the past.
There are,of course,problems with the education system.Because of economic inequality some schools are significantly better than others and the ideas of equality of education and equality of opportunity are cruel jokes.However,the mere fact that there are some serious problems does not mean that all the dire claims are true.
One stock (陈腐的) claim is that America has fallen behind the world in education in terms of performance on various tests.While the fact that America is behind other countries is a point of concern,there are at least three points worth considering here.The first is the above-mentioned economic inequality which will tend to result in poorer performance when taking the average for America.The second is that many countries have put considerable effort into improving their education systems and hence it is worth considering that America's decline is also due to the improvement of others.The third is the matter of the measures-do they,in fact,present an accurate picture of the situation?I am not claiming that the data is bad.I am merely raising a reasonable concern about how accurate our picture of education is at this time.
Another stock claim is that American students are doing badly on standardized tests.While there is clearly value in assessment,it is reasonable to consider whether or not such tests are a proper and adequate measure of education.It is also worth considering whether the puzzle with these tests is itself causing damage to education.That is,as teachers teach for the test and students learn for the test,it might be the case that what is being taught is not what should be taught and what is being learned is not what should be learned.

28.According to the professor,many people's attitude towards American colleges isB.
A.positive   B.negative   C.approving   D.indifferent
29.What does the underlined word"dire"in the second paragraph mean?D
A.Fair or objective.B.Exact or precise.
C.Long and boring.D.Extremely serious or terrible.
30.Judging by the text,the claims are centered onC.
A.what should be taught in the American classroom
B.fair judgment of American education
C.American students'performance on tests
D.an accurate picture of American colleges
31.The passage is written mainly toA.
A.defend American education
B.show dissatisfaction with American education
C.explain why American students do badly on tests
D.offer advice on American education reform.

"I usually go home between 2 and 3 in the morning."
"Some very strange things happened late at night.The other day I was taking a woman home from a party.She had her little dog with her.When we got to her house,she found that she had lost her key.So I waited in the car with the dog while she climbed in through the windows."
"I waited and waited.After half an hour of ringing the bell I decided to find out what was going on.I tied the dog to a tree and started to climb in through the window.The next thing I knew was that the police came.They thought I was a thief.Luckily the woman came downstairs.She must have gone to sleep and forgotten about me and the dog!
