This question has interested scientists for a long time. Many stories from around the world suggest that animals act strangely before an earthquake hits.One famous example happened in China in 1975. In the city of Haicheng, people noticed many animals behaving unusually. Snakes came out of their holes in the middle of winter. Normally, snakes hibernate (冬眠) during cold weather, so this was very strange. Chickens refused to go into their coops (鸡笼). Dogs barked for no reason. Cows and horses seemed nervous and tried to break free from their fences.Because of these signs, the government ordered people to leave their homes. Just hours later, a huge earthquake struck the city. Many buildings fell down, but most people were safe because they had already moved outside. This event made people believe that animals really can sense when a disaster is coming.Scientists have several ideas about how animals might do this. Some think animals can feel small shaking in the ground that humans cannot feel. Others believe animals can sense changes in the air or in gases that come out of the ground before an earthquake. Animals also have much better hearing than humans, so they might hear sounds that we cannot hear.However, not all scientists agree that animals can predict earthquakes. They say that animals act strangely for many different reasons. Sometimes what looks like a warning sign is just normal animal behavior. More research is needed to understand this mystery.31．What is the right order of what happened in Haicheng in 1975?a. A huge earthquake struck the city.b. People noticed animals behaving strangely.c.

But is it still amazing when an avalanche happens?An avalanche is snow, ice and rocks moving together quickly down a mountain.Different things can cause avalanches. For example, when snowfall is at its greatest, it happens easily. Also, about 90% of avalanches have to do with human activities, like climbing and skiing. Besides, strong winds, earthquakes and even animal activities like running and fighting can also make them happen.Avalanches are most common from December to the following April. But in fact, they happen all year round. Most of them are small, with only little snow. But in high mountains, such as the Alps and the Himalayas, they can be huge and dangerous. Some places in France, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy see the greatest number of avalanches every year. When an avalanche happens, the fast-moving snow, ice, and rocks can sweep away everything on the way. They bury (埋) skiers and mountain climbers alive. And the snow is so heavy that climbers often die of being breathless. When an avalanche stops, the snow becomes too hard to move. That can make people die of cold.But what can we do to keep us safe when an avalanche happens? Education and right training on avalanches can help. Also bring useful tools like a beacon (信标) to help others find you and a shovel to help save others.36．How does the writer start the passage?A．By giving examples.B．By asking a question.C．By sharing an idea.D．By listing numbers.37．What may make avalanches happen?①the height of mountains    ②great snowfall③human activities like skiing    ④a running deer in the snowA．①②③B．①②④C．①③④D．②③④38．What can we know from Paragraph 4?A．Where small avalanches happen.B．How climbers die in avalanches.C．What to do to stop avalanches.D．Why avalanches happen so often.39．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A．To tell us never to go near high mountains with snow.B．To give ways to keep safe when meeting avalanches.C．To introduce some facts and information about avalanches.D．To warn people of the danger caused by avalanches.40．What can we infer from the passage?A．Avalanches are not dangerous at all in summer.B．Earthquakes are the main cause of avalanches.C．Everyone can survive an avalanche with good training.D．The Alps in Europe might be a high-risk area for avalanches.四、选词填空（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）仔细阅读下面短文，用下面方框中所给单词或短语的填空，使短文在结构、句义和逻辑上正确。(提示：方框中有二个单词或短语是多余的。)Natural disasters are part of daily life, and being prepared can 41 everyone a lot.
