Dame Vera Lynn beat The Beatles and other artists to top the British charts on Sunday and became the oldest living singer to have a number one hit album, at the age of 92. Lynn’s album outsold(比……畅销) recent chart toppers Arctic Monkeys and Jamie T, which reached number two, as the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II earlier this month aroused memories of her popularity.
“We’ll Meet Again—The Very Best Of Vera Lynn”, a collection of 24 of her best-loved recordings, had been rising through the charts. Lynn was called the “Forces’ Sweetheart” during the 1939-1945 conflict, supporting spirits with optimistic songs such as “We’ll Meet Again”, which struck a chord (引起共鸣) with soldiers heading to war and the families they left behind. The album was released at the same time with the 70th anniversary of Britain’s declaration of war on Nazi Germany on September 3.
“I’m so surprised, I can’t quite believe it. It really is amazing that this has happened after all these years,” she said. Asked why the album had become popular again, Lynn told the BBC: “I think it’s because of the problems that are going on in various parts and a bit of nostalgia(怀旧之情), but I don’t know. And I’d like somebody to tell me.”
Gennaro Castaldo, from music store HMV, said the album had been growing consistently in popularity in recent weeks. “It’s a really lovely surprise. And nobody could have imagined a few weeks ago,” he said.
Her album features songs such as “There’ll Be Bluebirds Over”, and “Auf Wiederseh’n Sweetheart”, which was a number one hit in the United States in 1952. Lynn was born on March 20, 1917 in east London and her singing career was already flourishing when the war broke out in 1939.

A. is the most popular singer all over the world

Many of the old sayings using animals to predict the weather are folklores, but not all. It’s still unknown how animals can predict the weather, but limited research and acute observations have proved the animal kingdom’s ability to notice changes before we do. Through their highly developed sense of hearing, smell and awareness of changes in atmospheric conditions, animals do appear to have a sixth sense that does allow them to predict certain weather conditions, earthquakes and tsunamis.
Cows are one of the most well-known natural weather indicators. If a cow lies in a field it means rain is on the way, because cows sense the moisture(湿气) in the air and are making sure they have somewhere dry to lie down.
Fish are known to eat more before a storm. Some say cats increase their grooming(梳理毛发) activities when extra static electricity(静电) is in the air. And horses are known to run fast before a violent storm or when windy conditions are coming.
Meteorologist（气象学家）Randy Rauch of WTSP-TV in Clearwater confirms that animals can serve as severe weather barometers(气压计).
“It’s actually been long believed that animals have a sixth sense when it comes to severe weathers,” Rauch said. “It’s long been talked about in folklores. You’ll hear all kinds of stories that dogs, cats, cows, crickets—all have some sort of knowing power before a severe weather.”
That theory was put to the test during the massive tsunami in 2004. It has been said that the actions of animals were one of the main reasons that residents in the area knew to take cover.
“Many of the elephants scattered to higher mountains 5 to 10 minutes before the first wave hit the shoreline,” Rauch said. “This has been a long story with animals in the wild knowing that weather or some kind of terrible event is going to occur.”
41. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. In folklores, animals were used to predict the weather.
B. Animals can predict severe weathers or terrible events.
C. Different animals display different actions before a storm.
D. Humans could rely on animals to avoid terrible events.
42. Why does a cow lie in a field when rain is on the way?
A. To avoid becoming wet through.
B. To save a dry place on the ground.
C. To protect its stomach from the rain.
D. To avoid being blown away.
43. When extra static electricity is in the air, cats will ________.
A. eat more B. run fast
C. lie down D. groom themselves more
44. We can infer from the last two paragraphs that ________.
A. there could be a small number of wild animals killed in the tsunami in 2004
B. elephants are long known to be able to predict terrible events
C. only elephants trained in the wild could predict terrible events
D. the residents thought the elephants acted too strangely
45. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Animals are believed to have a sixth sense.
B. Animals’ sixth sense has never been proved.
C. Elephants seem to be the best at predicting natural disasters.
D. People also have a special ability to predict terrible events.
C
When we think of Easter Island the first thing that strikes us is the stone figures that dot the coastline. The Easter Island statues, also called Moai statues, have stood their ground for thousands of years — holding the secrets of a lost civilization.
In 1722, Dutch explorers landed on Easter Island, a volcanic island in the South Pacific. A civilization isolated by Pacific Ocean was about to meet the outside world for the first time in centuries. The strangers were about to find something very strange themselves － an island dotted with hundreds of huge stone statues. The first meeting was an immense clash of cultures and it was bloody too, because the sailors killed ten natives within minutes of landing.
Standing on Easter Island, the Moai statues are all that remain of the Rapa Nui tribe. The origins of these people are a mystery, but they are said to have inhabited the island from the 4th century, living off fish, chicken, and plants. Around 1500, the land is believed to have become barren(荒芜的), leading to fighting and extinction(消失). The inhabitants of this charming and mysterious place called their land “the center of the world”.
There are nearly 900 Moai statues on Easter Island. Each of them is unique － differing in expression, height or weight. They are 3 to 4 meters high, and 4 to 5 tons in weight, and on the top of each head, a circular hat which is 1 to 2 meters high is put on.
For centuries why and how they built the stone statues has been heatedly discussed. Modern science tries to piece together the story. Opinions differ widely on how they were moved, but no one disputes(表示异议) the years of effort involved in getting the statues carved and into place. One of the most accepted theories is that the statues were carved and positioned so their gaze would protect their homes.

A. protect the homes of the natives on the island
