Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world—Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey—rats will soon be man’s new best friends.

What happens after an earthquake? We sent in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.

How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal (信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.

Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “‘Robots ’noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity(电)!

The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to and a rat would get out of it if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).

A. take the place of man’s rescue jobs

3.Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that       .

A. they are more fantastic than other animals

B. they are less expensive to train than dogs

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

Many students find it hard to make friends when they are in high school. Keeping my suggestions in mind may give you a hand. They certainly helped me, and by the end of my three years of high school, I had formed my group of friends, with whom I still keep in touch now.

Here are my tips:

Say hello anytime I see an acquaintance（相识的人）.

Because I was always smiling and greeting the people I knew, people naturally thought I was friendly（though I am not naturally sociable）. And high school students want to be friends with sociable people.

Take the first step.

All the girls there already knew each other—they didn't need another friend. But I did, so I had to make the effort. I had to be the first one to invite somebody to go to a movie with me, or come to my house. Once I did that they started to respond with the same thing.

Use classes to get to know people.

I met most of my first friends because I sat next to them in class. Class（before, after, or even during class time）is a great opportunity to begin a conversation. For example, ask for help about homework.

Make friends slowly.

I couldn't get discouraged (泄气的) when it took a while to make friends．It really takes some time to make new friends. In a word, ________________________.

　Above all, remember that it can and will get better. You may have to work a little to make your high school experience a great one, but it's really worth it!

1.For what purpose does the writer write this passage?（Please answer within 15 words.）

2. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?

I was believed to be sociable because of my friendly attitude towards others．

3. Fill in the blank with a sentence.（Please answer within 10 words.）

4.Which piece of advice does the following sentence belong to? (Write in detail)

Everybody should make friends patiently in high school.

5.Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese.

 

“NOW I just don't believe that. ”Surely all of us, at some point, have watched a movie and thought: It's simply badly researched，or the makers must think we're fools. Recently, The Daily Telegraph ran a humorous piece on untrue tech moments from some top movies. Let’s see what they are all about.

Tom Chiver, the writer of The Daily Telegraph uses his first example from the movie Independence Day, in which a character comes up with a virus（病毒）which destroys Windows the computer system the alien （外星人）spacecraft uses. “It's a good thing that they didn't have Norton Anti-virus，” jokes  Chivers.

It's just one case of a movie that takes a lot of license with its science. Another one Chivers mentions is from the movie Star Wars, where the glowing light beams (光束）traveling through space look very impressive. But the problem is that in space there are no air particles (粒子）for the light to reflect off. In reality, they'd be invisible（看不见的）, which wouldn’t look so cool on the big screen.

Most people think that the mind—bending Matrix films are made for great viewing. But for Chivers, the science in the movies is a little bit silly. He comments “…the film is based on the idea that humans are kept alive as electricity generators (发电机). This is not just unlikely —it's basically impossible. They would need more energy to stay alive than they would produce. It's just like saying that you'll power the car with batteries, and keep the batteries charged by running a generator from the wheels. ”

And finally, as Chivers points out, DNA is not replaceable. But this bit of elementary genetics passed the makers of the 2002 Bond film Die Another Day by. In the film the bad guy has “gene treatment” to change his appearance and his DNA, which is completely impossible in our real world.

1.Which of the following does the writer agree with about the movie Independence Day?

A．It's a science fiction movie.

B．It's about the alien spacecraft.

C．It's produced by Tom Chiver.

D．It's a jokey and humorous one.

2. What is mainly talked about in the 4th paragraph?

A．How we can power the car with batteries.

B．How Tom Chiver thinks of the Matrix films.

C．How humans are kept alive as power generator.

D．How the Matrix films are made for great viewing.

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．The movie Star Wars is about the light beams in space.

B．The author doesn't take the science in movies seriously.

C．Nowadays nobody believes in science movies any more.

D．There is a horrible virus in the movie Independence Day.

4.The underlined word “They” in the 4th paragraph refers to ______.

A．human beings                          B．car wheels

C．Matrix films                            D．electricity generators

 

Finally, a cell phone

That’s… a phone

With rates as low as $3．75 per week ！

“Well, I finally did it． I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone． My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help． But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind． The phones all have cameras, computers and a “global-positioning” something or other that’s supposed to spot me from space． Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store weren’t much help． They couldn’t understand why someone wouldn’t want a phone the size of a postage stamp． And the rate plans! They were confusing, and expensive… and the contract （合同）lasted for two years! I’d almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone． Now, I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch with a phone I can actually use． ”

Affordable plans that I can understand---and no contract to sign （签订）！ Unlike other cell phones，Jitterbug has plans that make sense． Why should I pay for minutes I’m never going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan，I won’t find myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone． Best of all, there is no contract to sign, so I’m not locked in for years at a time． The US-based customer service is second to none． And the phone gets service anywhere in the country．

Three quarters of Britain’s parents are too busy to read bedtime stories to their children，according to a study. The study was carried out by CITV to start their new children’s show Bookaboo，which is designed to encourage anyone to pick up a book and read with their children at any time of the day.

Worryingly，the study showed that only three percent of fathers now find the time to read to the kids compared to 89 percent of mothers. Lucy Goodman，creator of Bookaboo，said，“It’s important for young boys to be able to share a book with dads，granddads or male carers and it can be fun and rewarding，too.” Of the dads who said they didn’t read to their kids,87 percent blamed work while more than a third said they were too tired. While 89 percent of mums said they did read to their children，more than half of them said cleaning distracted (使分心) them and 49 percent were distracted by other household things.

Researchers also found parents are now relying heavily on other people to lend a hand with reading to their children with grandparents doing the most，followed by sisters and brothers，aunts and uncles. While 95 percent of parents read to their children at some point，only five percent read to their children during the day. More than one in ten said they read every couple of weeks or less，and five percent could not remember the last time they shared a book.

The study found parents also seem content with allowing their children to immerse (使沉浸) themselves in TV programs or playing computer games rather than reading.

Ex­goalkeeper David Seaman，who is a dad of two，has been a guest in Bookaboo.He says，“I think it’s important that fathers do read to their children because it’s a special time. Sometimes my two children will come to listen to the same book—it’s a magical moment and I advise fathers just to try it.”

A．they are too busy with work

B．they don’t think it necessary to do so

3.Which group of people helped parents read to the kids the most?

A．Aunts and uncles.

B．Grandparents.

C．Children’s carers.

D．Children’s sisters and brothers.
