Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解選擇正確答案。
A
Many animals do strange things before an earthquake. This news may be important. Earthquakes can kill people and knock down homes. The animals may help to save lives.
Some animals make a lot of noise before an earthquake. Farmers have told about this. Dogs that are usually quiet have started to bark(吠). Horses on farms have run around in circles. Mice have left their holes and run away. Cows have given less milk.
In a town in Italy, cats raced down the street in a group. That happened only a few hours before an earthquake. In San Francisco, a man kept tiny pet frogs. One Sunday, the frogs jumped around more than ever. They made loud noises, like bigger frogs. That night, an earthquake struck the city.
People want to know when an earthquake is coming. Then they could get away safely. Right now, there is no sure way to know ahead of time. Maybe the best idea is watching the animals.

【解析】短文大意：在地震發(fā)生之前，許多動(dòng)物會(huì)有奇怪的舉動(dòng)，這條消息也許很重要。地震會(huì)使很多人喪生，使許多房屋毀壞，動(dòng)物也許能幫助挽救這些生命。各種動(dòng)物在地震發(fā)生前會(huì)有各種奇怪的舉動(dòng)，人們都想知道什么時(shí)候會(huì)發(fā)生地震，以便于安全地躲避，但是目前還沒有確切的預(yù)測(cè)地震的方法，也許最好的辦法就是觀察動(dòng)物了。
（1）通讀全文可知這篇文章是關(guān)于地震發(fā)生之前各種動(dòng)物的奇怪的舉動(dòng)，故選A。
（2）根據(jù)文章的第二段Dogs that are usually quiet have started to bark(吠). 可知“地震發(fā)生前，原本安靜的狗狗會(huì)開始狂吠”，故選B。
（3）根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容One Sunday, the frogs jumped around more than ever. 可知選D。
