Prezi.CMany people think the dinosaurs were the biggest animals that ever lived. They are wrong. The worlds biggest animal is still living and it lives in the ocean. It is called the blue whale. Blue whales can be as long as 30 meters and weigh as much as 1,000 kilos. The largest dinosaurs weighed only 500 kilos.The whale is not only the worlds biggest animal; it is also one of the smartest. We know that whales can communicate with each other, although we do not know what they are saying. Perhaps one day we will learn how to communicate with whales, and then they will be able to tell us about themselves.Although they live in the ocean, whales dont lay eggs like fish do. They are mammals. They give birth to babies and produce milk inside their own bodies to feed them. Humans are also mammals.There are lots of stories about whales, but perhaps the most famous story is MobyDick, which was written by an American writer named Herman Melville. In the book, a sailor named Captain Ahab spends a lot of time trying to find and kill a huge white whale named Moby Dick.Sadly, there are not many kinds of whales left at present. People have killed them for food and other things for thousands of years. However, there are now laws(法律) to stop people killing most kinds of whales. So perhaps there will be more of them in years to come.28. Whales canA.tell us about themselvesB.lay eggsC.communicate with each otherD.live on the land29.MobyDick is A.a story written by Herman MelvilleB. the name of a blue whaleC. a sailorD.a famous dinosaur30. There are not many kinds of whales left because A. they dont lay eggsB. people have killed themC. they live in the oceanD. there are laws against them31. The passage is mainly aboutA. the worlds biggest animalB. lots of stories about whalesC. laws to stop people killing whalesD. the differences between dinosaurs and whalesDEverybody hates rats (big mice). But in the earthquake capitals of the world Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey rats will soon be mans best friends.What happens after an earthquake? We send 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 cant 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 rats 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 rats 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 dont 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 dont need electricity!The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Organization in Scotland says, “It would be wonderful. A rat could get into spaces we couldnt get to, and a rat would get out if it wasnt 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)32In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become mans best friends because they can _.Atake the place of mans rescue jobsBfind the position of people alive who are trapped in buildingsCserve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildingsDget into small spaces33From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person who is alive by _.Athe noise made by the rat Bthe rats unusual behaviourCthe signal sent by the radio on the rats backDthe smell given off by the person34Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that _.Athey are more lovely than other animals.Bthey are less expensive to train than dogs.Cthey dont need electricity.Dthey are small and can get into small places.35After reading the passage we know _.Aat present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for peopleBthe “rat project” has been completedCpeople are now happy to see a rat in a buildingDnow people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues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。Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways.36 Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test.
