CJim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all, but owned by none thats because all of Jims art is created on an unusual canvas (画布) the soft sand. He sometimes spends days working on a piece, only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago, when he was wandering aimlessly on the beach with a stick. He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish. Since then, Jim has traveled over 1,800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art.Over the years, his drawings have become bigger, but the tools he uses havent changed All he needs is a stick, a garden rake (耙) and most importantly, his lively imagination!Just like any good artist, Jim is quite particular about the “quality” of his canvas, sometimes walking for miles, in search of perfect sand. His latest piece of work, which is also the worlds largest freelance (自由职业的) drawing, was created in the desert sands of Nevada. It took Jim three trips, eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3-mile work of art. It took the storm just one night to destroy it! However, Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain wash his paintings away.Jims art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary named “Sandman” in 2005. Jim Denevan is not just about art in the sand he is also an excellent cook and founder of an organization called “Outstanding in the Field”, whose motto (座右铭) is to celebrate food at its source. Accordingly, group dining events are held outdoors on farms, with the diners being treated to a delicious meal. The events, which are held in different farms throughout America, are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced.28. What do we know about Denevan?A. He used to be a cook. B.

Denevan is very particular about his drawing tools.30. What does Denevan enjoy about his work according to the text?A. Walking a long distance. B. Waiting for the storm to come.C.

DElephants on the coast of Thailand are acting strangely. They stamp their feet and signal toward the hills. The sea draws back from the beaches. Fish fall heavily in the mud. Suddenly, a huge wave appears. This is no ordinary wave. It is a tsunami (海啸)!Tsunami waves are larger and faster than normal surface waves. A tsunami wave can travel as fast as a jet plane and can be as tall as a ten-story building. Imagine dropping a stone into a pond. The water on the surface ripples (起涟漪). A tsunami is like a very powerful ripple. Tsunamis begin when the ocean rises or falls very suddenly. Large amounts of seawater are displaced. This movement causes huge waves.If a tsunami happens, there must be some kind of force that causes the ocean water to become displaced. Most tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes. However, volcanoes, landslides (塌方), large icebergs, and even meteorites (陨石) are able to cause one of these giant waves.Tsunamis are extremely powerful. Ordinary waves lose power when they break. Tsunami waves can remain powerful for several days. Because tsunami waves are so strong, they can kill people, damage property, and completely ruin an ecosystem in just one hour.Scientists have no way of predicting when a tsunami will hit. However, if a powerful enough earthquake happens, scientists can send out a warning or a watch. A warning means that a tsunami will very likely hit soon. A watch means that conditions are favorable for a tsunami. When people are informed of a watch or a warning, they have more time to prepare. It is best not to get caught unaware when a tsunami is on the way!32. Why are elephants acting strangely before the Tsunamis?A. They dislike the huge wave. B. They are afraid of the big fish.C. They can sense something out of the ordinary. D. They see the ocean drawing back from the beaches.33. What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Moved out of normal place. B. Pushed by human force.C. Pulled to great heights. D. Hung down quickly.34. Why do Tsunamis cause so much destruction?A. They are not familiar to most people. B. They are very powerful and long-lasting.C. They break on the coast, unlike normal waves. D. They are caused by underwater earthquakes.35. What is this text mainly about?A. How to guard against tsunamis. B. Differences between wave types.C. What to do with tsunami waves. D. Causes and effects of tsunamis. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。l How to stay focused in class 36 No matter how much you want to sit with your friends during the class, try your best to stay away from them.
