[即学即练]

Mandara seemed to know something big was about to happen.So she let out a yell，caught hold of her 2­year­old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree.She lives at the National Zoo in Washington，D.C.

And on Tuesday，August 23rd，witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on.And she's not the only one.In the moments before the quake，an orangutan (猩猩)let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.

“It's very different from their normal call，”said Brandie Smith，the zookeeper.“The lemurs (monkey like animals of Madagascar)will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual.”

But you can't see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens，can you? Maybe you can—if you're an animal.

“Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing，”said Brandie Smith.“That's part of their special abilities.They're more sensitive to the environment，which is how they survive.”

1．Why did Mandara act strangely one day?

A．Because it sensed something unusual would happen.

B．Because its daughter Kibibi was injured.

C．Because it heard an orangutan let out a loud call.

2．According to Brandie Smith，        ．

A．many animals' hearing is sharp

B．earthquakes produce two types of waves

C．primates usually gather together before a quake

A　[根据第五段“‘Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing，’said Brandie Smith.‘That's part of their special abilities.They're more sensitive to the environment，which is how they survive.’”可知，Brandie Smith认为许多动物的听觉很敏锐，选A。]
