21、   Check out our tsunami (海啸) facts and lean some interesting information related to these great walls of water that can cause so much destruction. Find out what causes tsunamis and read about some notable recent examples of tsunamis that have occurred around the globe.

Tsunamis are huge waves of water that are usually caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.

As a tsunami approaches the shore, water may move back from the coast. If it is shallow enough, the water may be pulled back hundreds of meters. If you are in the area, observing this is a good indication that a tsunami is on the way.

Regions in tsunami danger zones often have warning systems in place to give people as much time to evacuate (撤离) as possible.

When tsunamis hit shallow water (often near the coast), they slow down but increase in height.

An earthquake in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia in December 2004 caused a tsunami that killed over 200, 000 people in 14 countries.

In March 2011, the Tohoku earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami that was a major factor in the death of over 15, 000 people.

The tsunami waves created by the Tohoku earthquake reached heights of over 40 metres (131feet) in mine areas, wiping out coastal towns and causing a number of nuclear accidents.

The Japanese word “tsunami” literally means “harbour wave”.

Tsunamis are sometimes referred to as tidal waves but this term has fallen out of favour because tsunamis are not related to tides.

【1】Which of the following shows a tsunami is coming soon?

A. An earthquake takes place.

B. The water marches towards the coast.

C. The water near the shore is pulled back.

D. The water near the shore is very shallow.

【2】In the Tohoku earthquake, over 15,000 people died mainly because of ________.

A. the earthquake itself

B. the lack of warming systems

C. the tsunami caused by the earthquake

D. the nuclear accidents caused by the tsunami

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A. The word “tsunami” is from British English.

B. The term “tidal wave” is used more often than “tsunami.”

C. Some nuclear accidents happened after Indonesia tsunami.

D. More people died in Indonesia tsunami than in Tohaku tsunami.

【4】The passage is developed mainly by _________.

A. listing some facts B. making some comparison

C. providing some numbers D. making some conclusions

22、Alone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the midday sun. Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or earth. Complete silence. Only some coconuts falling, at long intervals, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Stretched out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs.

Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!

Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man. It is as great an effort for an office clerk to walk five blocks with a loaded brief-case as it is for a jungle-dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.

I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.

【1】The author mentions coconuts’ falling to ________ .

A．show his loneliness

B．add beauty to the jungle

C．express his love of nature

D．stress the absolute silence

【2】How does the author feel about the ant?

A．He admired its attitude toward work.

B．He was amazed at its tireless efforts.

C．He showed sympathy for the little ant.

D．He was content to have it as a companion.

【3】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author would probably________.

A．make his way home

B．stay in the valley

C．work harder than before

D．talk to the man on the horse

23、   About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!

There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green － a strange world indeed.

Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.

Some insects（昆虫） have favorite colors. Mosquitoes（蚊子） prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract（吸引） insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the help of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the help of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible（不可见）colors around us.

【1】The passage is mainly about _____________.

A.color and its surprising effects.

B.women being luckier than men

C.danger caused by color blindness

D.color blindness

【2】Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?

A.Women are more careful.

B.There are fewer color-blind women

C.Women are fonder of driving than men.

D.Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.

【3】We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _____________.

A.red light B.yellow light

C.blue light D.green light
