Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department, said about one month after the tsunami attack. The____6____ washed floodwaters up to 2 miles inland at Yala National Park in the ravaged southeast, Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife____7____ and home to hundreds of wild elephants and several leopards.“There has been a lot of____8____ evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes.

Other authorities concurred with this____11____ ·“Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain____12____ especially birds ... there are many reports of birds detecting impending disasters/’ said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife.Animals____13____ rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators.The notion of an animal “sixth sense” — or____14____ other mythical power — is an enduring one3 which the evidence on Sri Larika’s ravaged coast is likely to add to.The Romans saw owls____15____ omens of impending disaster and many ancient cultures viewed elephants as sacred animals endowed with special powers or attributes.词汇:tsunami n.海啸trigger v.引发,触发ravaged adj.被毁坏的leopard n.豹eruption n.喷发migrate v.迁移volcanic adj.火山的concur v.(with)同意,赞成impending adj.迫近的predator n.食肉动物mythical adj.神话般的owl n.猫头鹰omen n.预兆,征兆endow v.给予注释:1.adds weight to notions that:更加信任2.field setting:field意为“实地,野外”,setting意为“环境”。

      field setting可译为“野外环境”3.enduring one:由来已久的信念one指代在句首出现的notionenduring意为“长久的,永久的”练习:1.A therefore B however C although D whatever2.A shelters B foods C disasters D water3.A missed B protected C raised D caught4.A such B too C so D even5.A feel B see C hear D sense6.A waves B tides C winds D rivers7.A birthplaces B playground C reserve D storage8.A experimental B apparent C scientific D chemical9.A specialist B assistant C supporter D sponsor10.A additional B specific C especial D exceptional11.A modification B detection C assessment D value12.A route B behavior C principle D phenomenon13.A unwillingly B occasionally C doubtfully Dcertainly14.A some B much C many D few15.A on B as C for D in答案与题解:1.B 第一句说的是海啸造成了巨大的人员伤亡,其次句说的是动物能逃脱海啸的攻击。

      两句意思相反,所以要用however承接上文2.C 上文说的是:海啸是一种自然灾难,所以“sixth sense”范围只能是disasters,不能是shelters,foods或water3.A 本句接着在对比海啸造成的人员伤亡和动物能逃脱海啸这一现象答案应当是选项A(missed)其他三个选项的词义与上下文都不相配4.D 从上下文推断,本句的意思应当是:没有大象死亡,甚至连一只野兔或兔子也没有死亡甚至”的英语是even5.D 全文说的是动物的第六感觉,而feel(触觉),see,hear都属于前五个感觉,所以不是正确答案6.A 本说的是海的巨浪将洪水带到离海岸远达2英里的地方正确答案应当是waves7.C 从上下文推断,本句的意思应当是:Yala国家公园是斯里兰卡野生动物的爱护区,而birthplaces(诞生地)、playground(操场)和storage(储存)都与上下文表达的意思接不上,因此不是答案reserve的意思是“爱护区”,不是“储备”或“保留”因此,选项C是答案8.B 下一句说,这些迹象(evidence)并没有被证明因此,这些迹象不行能是scientific的而experimental和chemical的词义与上下文不协作,因此也不是答案。

      只有apparent(明显的)与上下文的意思相配apparent的迹象还需得到科学的验证9.A 在动物园里工作并发表对动物行为的专业性见解的人肯定是专家学者(specialist)其他三个选项都不合适10.B 本段第一句是说明为什么evidence没有得到科学验证缘由是科学家无法在试验室或野外进行特定的试验,以验证动物预见灾难的第六感觉理解了上下文的意思,就知道选specific是最合适的其他三个选项的词义与上下文不符,additional,especial和exceptional分别是“额外的”、“特殊的”和“例外的”意思11.C concurred with(同意)支配的宾语应当是view,opinion,judgment这一类词前面句子说的是某位科学家指出无法验证动物预见灾难的第六感觉的困难所在,其他专家也同意这一看法,所以选assessment是正确的12.D 本句说的是动物特殊是鸟有捕获灾难来临前某些征兆的实力route(路途)、behavior(行为)和principle(原则)与上述意思相去甚远,只有phenomenon是答案13.D 依据常识推断,动物是要依靠味觉、听觉等躲避食肉动物的攻击。

      unwillingly(不情愿地)occasionally(间或)和doubtfully(怀疑地)与上述意思有俘,只有certainly是合适的选项14.A 从本句的意思推断,应当是“某种奇妙的实力”,所以要选some15.B 本句的意思是“将……看成”,而英语的用词是see ... as,所以要选as译文:动物的“第六感”2004年12月由印度洋海疆地震引发的海啸造成亚洲和东非数万人死亡但野生动物们好像躲过了可怕的海啸的攻击有专家表示,这进一步证明了动物对自然灾难有“第六感”的观点斯里兰卡负责野生动物的官员表示,巨浪席卷印度洋海岛沿岸,淹死了两万四千多人,但野生动物好像都幸免于难,目前尚未发觉一具动物的尸体斯里兰卡野生动物部门的副部长H. D.拉特纳亚克在海啸攻击过后一个月说道:“没有一头大象死亡,甚至没有一只野兔死亡我认为动物能够感知灾难它们有‘第六感’,它们知道灾难何时发生海洪冲向离岸二英里远的亚拉国家公园,这里是斯里兰卡的野生动物爱护区,生活着几百头野生大象和一些美洲豹,海啸引发的洪水使亚拉国家公园所在的东南部地区变得一片狼藉每当火山爆发或地震发生前,动物们的行为就会发生很多异样,比如犬吠或鸟类迁徙,但这些现象尚未得到科学证明。

      南非约翰内斯堡动物园的动物行为专家马修·范·利罗普说他对路透社记者说:“目前还没有这方面的特地探讨,因为你无法在试验室或实际环境中进行真正的试验其他专家也同意这一看法野生动物好像能够感知某些特别现象,尤其是鸟类许多报告显示鸟类能察觉即将来临的灾难克莱夫?沃克这样说,他曾经写过数本关于非洲野生动物的书一些动物的确是依靠嗅觉或听觉等人类。
