解析:
【分析】
这是一篇科普类完形填空,主题为动物在地震前的异常行为,解题思路如下:1. 先通读全文,把握主旨:动物可感知地震等环境变化,出现异常举动;2. 结合上下文语境、词汇含义、固定搭配逐一分析每个空:如第1空根据后文多次提到的“Earthquakes”确定答案;第5空根据“bark(吠叫)”对应狗的行为;第15空紧扣文章核心“观察动物”的办法,以此类推完成所有选项判断。
【解析】
1. 选A:后文多次提及“Earthquakes”,可知此处指地震前,故选A。
2. 选C:由后文“地震能致人死亡、摧毁房屋”可知,动物感知地震的事实很重要,故选C。
3. 选A:“knock down”是固定短语,意为“摧毁、撞倒”,符合“摧毁房屋”的语境,故选A。
4. 选B:后文提到动物吠叫、跑圈等行为,都是制造噪音,“make noises”为固定搭配,故选B。
5. 选C:“bark(吠叫)”是狗的典型行为,故选C。
6. 选C:老鼠通常栖息在洞穴中,地震前会离开洞穴逃跑,故选C。
7. 选C:奶牛的产物是牛奶,此处指地震前奶牛产奶减少,故选C。
8. 选C:句意为“这种现象发生在地震前几小时”,“happen”表示“发生”,符合语境,故选C。
9. 选B:后文提到“the frogs”,可知他养的宠物是青蛙,故选B。
10. 选D:青蛙的动作是跳跃,“jump around”意为“四处跳”,符合语境,故选D。
11. 选D:青蛙呱呱叫的声音大,“loudly”符合描述,故选D。
12. 选B:人们想知道地震什么时候来临,“when”表示时间,故选B。
13. 选C:知道地震时间后可安全撤离,“safely”意为“安全地”,故选C。
14. 选A:目前没有确定的方法提前知晓地震,“know”表示“知道”,故选A。
15. 选C:文章核心是动物能感知地震,所以可行的办法是观察动物,故选C。
