The sea draws back from the beaches. Fish fall heavily in the mud. Suddenly, a huge wave appears. This is no ordinary wave. It is tsunami!Tsunami waves are larger and faster than normal surface waves. A tsunami wave can travel as fast as a jet plane and can be as tall as a ten-story building. Imagine dropping a stone into a pond. The water on the surface ripples （起涟漪）.A tsunami is like a very powerful ripple. Tsunamis begin when the ocean rises or falls very suddenly. Large amounts of seawater are displaced. This movement caused huge waves.For a tsunami to occur, there must be some kind of force that causes the ocean water to bee displaced. Most tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes. However, volcanoes , landslides （塌方）, large icebergs, and even meteorites （陨石） are capable of causing one of these mighty waves. Tsunamis are extremely powerful. Ordinary waves lose power when they break. Tsunami waves can remain powerful for several days. Because tsunami waves are so strong, they can kill people, damage property, and pletely ruin an ecosystem in just one hour.Scientists have no way of predicting when a tsunami will hit. However, if a powerful enough earthquake occurs, scientists can send out a warning or a watch. A warning means that a tsunami will very likely hit soon. A watch means that conditions are favorable for a tsunami. When people are informed of a watch or a warning, they have more time to prepare. It is best not to get caught unaware when a tsunami is on the way.25Elephants are acting strange mostly because they_.A. dislike the huge wave B. are afraid of the big fishC. can sense something out of the ordinary D. see the ocean drawing back from the beaches26Why do Tsunamis cause so much destruction?A. They are not familiar to most people. B. They are very powerful and long-lasting.C. They break on the coast, unlike normal waves. D. They are caused by underwater earthquakes.27From the text, we can learn that_.A. a tsunami travels as fast as normal waves B. a tsunami is formed by huge normal sea wavesC. a tsunami warning is more serious than a watchD. a warning and watch both mean a tsunami has formed28What is this text mainly about?A. How to guard against tsunami B. Differences between waves typesC. What to do with tsunami waves. D. Causes and effects of tsunami COnce upon a time, there was a king who had a wise advisor. The advisor followed the king everywhere and his favorite piece of advice to the king was “Everything happens for the good.”One day the king went hunting and had a small accident. His foot was injured. Fortunately he was not badly injured but as always he was forced to ask his advisor what he thought about the accident, to which the advisor replied，“Everything happens for the good.”This time the king was really angry and put his advisor in prison. The king then asked his advisor，“Now, what do you think？” The advisor again answered，“Everything happens for the good.” About a week later the king went on another hunting trip. It turned out that the king was caught by some cannibals (食人者) and taken to their camp where he would be prepared to be their evening meal. Before putting him into the cooking pot, he was examined and the cannibals realized that the kings foot was injured. They decided to throw him back into the forests. It is the tradition for the cannibals not to eat anything that was in any way injured.It is true that everything in our lives happens for a purpose, and most often for our own good. If you think about it, all our past experiences actually happened to bring us to where we are today and make us a better person. So whatever challenges that we may face today, consider it happening to bring us to the next level.29When the advisor was put in prison, he was still_A. nervous B. angry C. calm D. upset30It can be inferred from the last paragraph that_A. everything happens for its own reasons B. it is unnecessary for us to think about experiencesC. challenges will make you do anything D. our life experiences are our best teacher31By telling the story, the writer_A. tells us the danger of hunting B. wants us to think positivelyC. asks us not to hunt any more D. wishes us to follow others advice DNOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars(伤口). Often they relive(再体验)these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去), the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing(释放)chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They e back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually e with very painful emotions, said Roger Pitman, a professor at Harvard Medical School. This could reduce lot of that suffering.But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity(特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. Im not sure we want to wipe those memories out, said Rebecca Dresser, a medical expert.32The passage is mainly about _.A. a new medical invention B. a way of erasing painful memoriesC. an introduction to the function of a new pill D. an argument about the research on the pill33The drug tested on people can _.A. cause the brain to fix memories B. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicals D. erase the emotional effects of memories34We can infer from the passage that _.A. not all of the people support the research B. taking the pill will do harm to peoples healthC. the pill has probably been produced in America D. the pill will put an end to peoples bad experiences35Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser probably agree with?A. Some memories can ruin peoples lives. B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce peoples sufferings from bad memories.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）Green: More than just a colorGreen is an important color in nature.
