Sri Lankan wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed hundreds of thousands of people along the coast of Indian Ocean island seemingly missed the wild beasts, with no dead animals found. “No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disasters. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are going to happen,” H. D. Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lankan Wildlife Department, said. The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km（2 miles）inland at Yala National Park in the ravaged（被坏的）southeast, Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants and several leopards. “There has been a lot of evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proven,” said Matthew Van Lierop, an animal behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo. “There have been no specific studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or field setting,” he said. Other authorities（权威）agreed with this judgment. “Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain phenomenon, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters,” said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife. Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators（食肉动物）. The notion of an animal “sixth sense” — or some other mythical power — is an enduring one which the evidence on Sri Lankan battered coast is likely to add to. The Romans saw owls（猫头鹰）as signs of coming disasters and many ancient cultures viewed elephants as sacred（神圣的）animals endowed with（被赋予）special powers. The tsunami was caused by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean. It killed tens of thousands of people in Asia and East Africa. 56．It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ________. A．after the Indian Ocean tsunami scientists are sure of an animal “sixth sense” B．before the Indian Ocean tsunami scientists didn’t believe in an animal “sixth sense” C．before the Indian Ocean tsunami scientists had some idea of an animal “sixth sense” D．the Indian Ocean tsunami has offered the only proof for an animal “sixth sense” 57．The author quoted Clive Walker’s words to ________. A．throw doubts on an animal “sixth sense” B．show the different opinions between Sri Lankan wildlife officials and the authorities C．show that authorities know better than animal behavior specialists D．add proof to an animal “sixth sense” 58．Which of the following does NOT belong to an animal “sixth sense”? A．Elephants avoiding the coming Indian Ocean tsunami. B．Dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. C．Birds detecting coming disasters. D．Animals relying on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger. B She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But, at nearly 1,500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa. The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci（莱昂纳多达·芬奇）in  1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum（卢浮宫博物馆）where it is housed. “The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state. Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many are attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision（视觉）is excellent at picking up details ,but less suited to look at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.” However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1169. In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During World War Ⅱ, French hid the Painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces. Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell. 59．The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa ________. A．is losing its value B．is being damaged after so many years C．is getting more valuable with years passing D．will rot away 60．Experts don’t have any repairs on the Mona Lisa because ________. A．it is now a poor chemical state B．they don’t know how to replace the wooden panel C．they don’t have the materials Da Vinci used D．they are afraid it’ll be done further damage 61．The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen ________. A．by indirect vision     B．at a distance         C．by direct vision D．in shadows 62．From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________. A．many interesting stories have been written about the Mona Lisa B．people are interested in the stories about the Mona Lisa C．some mysteries still remain to be solved about the Mona Lisa D．many more stories will be told about the Mona Lisa C WELCOME TO YOUR FREE ISH MEMBERSHIP Your Membership International Students House is a unique, cultural and recreational（娱乐的）centre providing a wide program of events for students 310 days a year.

I feel uncertain that sleep is one of those things that do the nailing down,” Professor Stickgold said. Professor Stickgold’s team trained the 24 people to tell the direction of three diagonal bars（斜线）shown for a sixtieth of a second on a computer screen full of horizontal stripes. Half the subjects（受实验者）were kept awake that night, while the others slept. Both groups were allowed to sleep for the second and third nights to make up for any differences in tiredness between the volunteers. Those who slept the first night were much better at remembering the task while the second group showed no improvement in spite of enjoying two nights of catch-up sleep. A further study by scientists at the Medical University at Lubeck in Germany showed that memories are laid down in two stages during the night. The first is during the deep, so-called “slow wave,” sleep, which usually takes place in the first half of the night. The second, and less important stage happens during the period of dreaming or “rapid eye movement（REM）”. When people don’t sleep well in the first half of the night, their memory consolidation is almost the same as having no sleep at all. 67．Which of the following statements is correct according to Paragraph 1? A．It is necessary to bum the midnight oil before an exam or interview. B．Sleep speeds up the loss of memory. C．Man should have a good sleep if he wants to keep a good memory. D．Staying up late will make you better prepared for an exam or interview. 68．It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that ________. A．some process helps memories to be washed out of the brain B．professor Stickgold is doubtful about whether sleep can make memories better C．some memories normally influence the function of the brain D．sleep improves the condition of memories 69．How was the research conducted by Professor Stickgold? A．The subjects were divided into two groups. B．All the subjects were kept awake for 3 nights. C．One group slept at the first night but was kept awake the next two nights. D．One group was kept awake for 3 nights but the other slept for the second and third nights. 70．The best title of this passage is “________”. A．Sleep is Necessary for Memories B．The Importance of the First Stage of Sleep C．Studies Made By Scientists About Sleep D．The Scientists’ Achievement in Sleep Research 2009—2010—1学期高二期末考试 英语试卷 第Ⅰ卷  答题格 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20                                         21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40                                         41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60                                         61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70                       第Ⅱ卷 Ⅴ．单词拼写（共10分）根据句意及所给汉语注释或首字母，写出所缺单词。（每空只写一词） 71．We can study at home by watching ______（教育家）on TV or a computer screen. 72．The fast food restaurant tries to ______（保证）that customers are served quickly. 73．Have you listened to the weather ______（预报）?What will the weather be like tomorrow? 74．Though he is over eighty years old，he takes exercise ______（定期）. 75．People transmit HIV by having ______（无保护）sex or by receiving infected blood transfusions. 76．Ann has been 1______ with AIDS for 17 years. 77．A p______ is a person who examines patients and gives advice on general medicine. 78．The smoke from the chimney i______ that someone was in the house. 79．We should remain c______ in face of danger. 80．Twenty percent of the people on earth don’t have a______ to clean drinking water.

However, Chinese students have only 12 minutes for physical activities per day. The reasons lie in the following. In Chinese schools, almost all the time is spent on lessons and students are usually made to do a lot of homework even when they get back home.（Thus there is little time left for their physical activities.） In my opinion, it’s really time for the Department of Education to take measures to change the situation. Students should be given more time for physical activities. Anyhow, knowledge can be learned not only from books but also through activities.（What’s more, physical activities are very important for students’ health.） Yours sincerely, Li Hua
