occurred at 758 a.m., 95 miles off the west coast of aceh, indonesia.eighteen minutes later.10-metre high waves crashed the ashore along a 500mile-long stretch of aceh.two hours later the tsunami hit thailand and malaysia and then burma, bangladesh, india，the maldives，sri lanka，kenya and somalia. the final death toll is thought to be about 280，000，with tens of thousands more listed as missing. more than l.8 million people lost their homes.what is tsunami?a tsunami is a chain of fast moving waves caused by a sudden strong quake in the ocean. they can be caused by earthquakes，volcanic eruptions，or even the collision of meteorites(陨星).tsunamis are also incorrectly known as tidal waves，but unlike tidal waves they are not caused by changes in the tides.they are also most common around the edge of the pacific，where more than half of the worlds volcanoes are found. these seismic surges can attack coastlines，often with little or no warning. rocks weighing as much as 20 metric tons have been pulled from sea walls and carried l 80m inland.wave powera tsunami can have a wavelength in excess of 100km and there may be an hour between them. they travel at great speeds across an ocean with hardly any energy losses and are barely noticeable out at sea.over the deep pacific ocean，a tsunami travels at about 800kph.if an earthquake happened in los angeles, a tsunami could hit tokyo quicker than you could fly between the cities by jet.strange animal behaviorsten days before giant waves slammed into sri lanka and india coastlines，wild and domestic animals seemed to know what was about to happen and fled to safety.elephants screamed and ran for higher ground.dogs refused to go outdoors.zoo animals rushed into their shelters and could not be enticed(引诱)to come back out.56. what

show us the safe placesc. hide themselves d. protect themselvesbi fought hard. but your guns were well aimed. the bullets flew like birds in the air, and whistled by our ears like the wind through the trees in the winter. my warriors(战友) fell around me. the sun rose dim on us in the morning, and at night it sunk in a dark cloud, and looked like a ball of fire. that was the last sun that shone on black hawk. he is now a prisoner to the white men. he has done nothing for which an indian ought to be ashamed. he has fought for his countrymen against white men, who came year after year, to cheat them and take away their lands. you know the cause of our making war. it is known to all white men. they ought to be ashamed of it. indians are not dishonest. the white men speak bad of the indian and look at him cruelly. but the indian does not tell lies. indians do not steal.an indian who is as bad as the white men could not live in our nation; he would be put to death, and eaten up by the wolves. the white men are bad schoolmasters; they carry false books, and deal in false actions; they smile in the face of the poor indian to cheat him; they shake them by their hands to gain their confidence, to make them drunk, to fool them, and ruin our wives. we told them to leave us alone, and keep away from us; they followed us, and beset our paths, and they coiled themselves among us, like the snake. they poisoned us by their touch. we were not safe. we lived in danger. we were becoming like them hypocrites (伪君子) and liars, all talkers and no workers. the white men do not cut off the head; but they do worst they poison the heart.farewell, my nation! farewell to black hawk.61. who was black hawk in the passage?a. an indian soldier fighting with the white.b. an indian tribal

inferred that the failure of black hawk resulted from the fact that .a. the indians turned against himb. the indians didnt fight brave enoughc. the white men were too powerful to be defeatedd. black hawk was caught by the white men65. it can be inferred from the passage that .a. the worst thing was that the white had killed so many indiansb. the worst thing was that the white had changed beliefs of their traditionc. all the indians had to give in to the whited. the worst thing was that the white were too strong to be defeatedc two years ago, a quadriplegic(四肢瘫痪) man started playing video games using his brain as a controller. that many just sound like fun and games for the unfortunate, but really, it starts the beginning of a thorough change in how we interact with computers, and business will never be the same.someday, keyboards and computer mice will be remembered only as old style pain devices for the wrists. all work emails, spreadsheets, and google searches will be performed by mind control. the research was published for the first time last week in the british science journal nature.nagle, a 26-year-old quadriplegic, was hooked up to a computer via an implant smaller than an aspirin that sits on top of his brain and reads electrical patterns. using that technology, he learned how to move a cursor(指针) around a screen, play simple games, control a robotic arm, and even turn his brain into a tv remote control. he even learned how to perform these tasks in less time than the average pc owner spends installing microsoft windows.nagle was able to accomplish all this because the brain has been greatly demystified(澄清) in laboratories over the last decade or so. researchers unlocked the brain patterns for thoughts that represent letters of the alphabet as early as 1999.already, the brown researchers say, this kind of technology can enable a hooked-up human to write at 15 words a minute-half as fast as the average person writes by hand.brain-reading technology is improving rapidly. last year, sony (charts) took out a patent on a game system that beams date directly into the mind without implants.controlling devices with the mind is just the beginning. next, wolf believes, is what he calls “network-enabled telepathy” instant thought transfer. in other words, your thoughts will flow from your brain over the network right into someone elses brain. if you think instant messaging is addictive, just wait for instant thinking.66. whats the best title of this passage?a. all the internet work will be controlled by our mindb. how the disabled use the internetc. the rapid progress in computerd. surfing the internet without your hands67. a quadriplegic man is mentioned in the first paragraph in order to .a. show the importance of this technologyb. support his ideac. bring up his topicd. persuade the disabled to pursue a high goal68. the underlined word “interact” in the first paragraph probably has the same meaning as .a. talk with each otherb. communicate with each otherc. help each otherd. act on each other69. the success of this technology is based on .a. the experience of nagle, a 26- year-old quadriplegicb. the breakthrough of the research on the brainc. the advanced computer technologyd. the development of high technology70. it can be inferred from the passage that .a. further research on brainwave control will be carried outb. everyone will soon use brainwave control servicesc. our present computers will soon out of dated. all the disabled will soon use computers without any difficultydif youre planning to visit lots of museums and attractions in paris, the following five are on the top of the list not to be missed.cathedrale de notre damedescription the cath drale de
