答案與題解：
1.B 第一句說的是海嘯造成了巨大的人員傷亡，第二句說的是動(dòng)物能逃脫海嘯的襲擊。兩句意思相反，所以要用however承接上文。
2.C 上文說的是：海嘯是一種自然災(zāi)害，所以“sixth sense”范圍只能是disasters，不能是shelters，foods或water。
3.A 本句繼續(xù)在對(duì)比海嘯造成的人員傷亡和動(dòng)物能逃脫海嘯這一現(xiàn)象。答案應(yīng)該是選項(xiàng)A(missed)。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的詞義與上下文都不相配。
4.D 從上下文判斷，本句的意思應(yīng)該是：沒有大象死亡，甚至連一只野兔或兔子也沒有死亡。“甚至”的英語是even。
5.D 全文說的是動(dòng)物的第六感覺，而feel(觸覺)，see，hear都屬于前五個(gè)感覺，所以不是正確答案。
6.A 本說的是海的巨浪將洪水帶到離海岸遠(yuǎn)達(dá)2英里的地方。正確答案應(yīng)該是waves。
7.C 從上下文判斷，本句的意思應(yīng)該是：Yala國家公園是斯里蘭卡野生動(dòng)物最大的保護(hù)區(qū)，而birthplaces(出生地)、playground(操場)和storage(儲(chǔ)存)都與上下文表達(dá)的意思接不上，因此不是答案。reserve的意思是“保護(hù)區(qū)”，不是“儲(chǔ)備”或“保留”。因此，選項(xiàng)C是答案。
8.B 下一句說，這些跡象(evidence)并沒有被證實(shí)。因此，這些跡象不可能是scientific的。而experimental和chemical的詞義與上下文不配合，因此也不是答案。只有apparent(明顯的)與上下文的意思相配。apparent的跡象還需得到科學(xué)的驗(yàn)證。
9.A 在動(dòng)物園里工作并發(fā)表對(duì)動(dòng)物行為的專業(yè)性見解的人一定是專家學(xué)者(specialist)。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都不合適。
10.B 本段第一句是說明為什么evidence沒有得到科學(xué)驗(yàn)證。原因是科學(xué)家無法在實(shí)驗(yàn)室或野外進(jìn)行特定的實(shí)驗(yàn)，以驗(yàn)證動(dòng)物預(yù)見災(zāi)難的第六感覺。理解了上下文的意思，就知道選specific是最合適的。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的詞義與上下文不符，additional，especial和exceptional分別是“額外的”、“特別的”和“例外的”意思。
11.C concurred with(同意)支配的賓語應(yīng)該是view，opinion，judgment這一類詞。前面句子說的是某位科學(xué)家指出無法驗(yàn)證動(dòng)物預(yù)見災(zāi)難的第六感覺的困難所在，其他專家也同意這一看法，所以選assessment是正確的。
12.D 本句說的是動(dòng)物特別是鳥有捕捉災(zāi)難來臨前某些征兆的能力。route(路線)、behavior(行為)和principle(原則)與上述意思相去甚遠(yuǎn)，只有phenomenon是答案。
13.D 根據(jù)常識(shí)判斷，動(dòng)物是要依賴味覺、聽覺等逃避食肉動(dòng)物的攻擊。unwillingly(不情愿地)occasionally(偶爾)和doubtfully(懷疑地)與上述意思有俘，只有certainly是合適的選項(xiàng)。
14.A 從本句的意思判斷，應(yīng)該是“某種神奇的能力”,所以要選some。
15.B 本句的意思是“將……看成”，而英語的用詞是see ... as，所以要選as。
