But in the earthquake places of the world Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey rats will soon be mans new 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. 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, “ Robot 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 Corps in Scotland says, “ It would be fantastic. A rat would 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.)56. In the earthquake places, rats will become mans best friends because they can _.A. take the place of man in rescue jobsB. find the positions of people alive who are trapped in buildingsC. serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildingsD. send signals for the coming earthquake57. From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by _.A. the nose made by the rat B. the rats unusual behaviorC. the signal sent by the radio on the rats back D. the smell given off by the person58. In doing rescue jobs, _.A. rats have better sense of smell than dogs.B. dogs dont need to be trained to smell people.C. robots sense of smell can be affected by other smells around.D. rats can see in the dark and are smaller than robots.59. After reading the passage we can know _.A. rats have taken the place of dogs in search for people.B. the “ rat project” has been completedC. people are now happy to see a rat in a buildingD. now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues.BRecently I had the pleasure of speaking at a meeting about the key success factors in life. When I was young, my mother and father regularly said to me that “ The early bird catches the worm”, so I arrived early at the meeting center so that I could make sure that everything I needed for my speech was on hand, as well as prepare myself for my speech.I have always measured the level of success of my speech by the applause and comments that I receive from those people in the audience. On this occasion after the applause had ended, I had the opportunity to personally speak to nearly all of the listeners.The last person I spoke with greeted me by taking my hand, shaking it and saying how much she enjoyed my speech, and that she had got lots of helpful and practical tips to use in her business. For some reason as we continued to talk she did not let go of my hand and then placed her other hand just above my wrist and increased the pressure of her handshake, while gently squeezing my arm with her other hand.Usually an hour or so after my speech that I give, I feel quite tired and I know that this is directly because of what I put into what I do. However, on this occasion, the opportunity for me to receive the words of thanks from the people gave me a real lift and recharged my batteries. The icing (糖霜) on the cake that gave me an even bigger energy lift was the words of support and encouragement from the people with the very firm handshake.A person refers to the word “Praise” as an anagram for “ People Really Are Into Sensational Efforts”, and he goes on to say that all people need is regular praise and encouragement for them to reach new heights in their personal life.60. According to the first paragraph, the authors parents taught him _.A. not to be laze in lifeB. the key to success in lifeC. How to catch birds and worms D. how to be ready for a speech61. The author judges the success of his speech by _.A. how long he made the speechB. how many people listened to his speechC. how fluently he made the speechD. how much applause the audience gave62. The purpose of writing this passage is to _.A. describe an experience of meeting an impolite listenerB. explain what the word “ praise” stands forC. expect people to encourage others with praising wordsD. advise people to make good preparations for a speechCAnyone who believes that teenagers no longer read has it all wrong, according to Christi Showman Farrar at the Woburn Public Library. She said because reading is a lonely activity, adults dont always realize that teens do enjoy it. “Teens have so much going on today between all of the out-of-class activities that it may seem like they arent reading,” said Showman Farrar. “But they do manage to read. We just dont see then are at home.” Showman Farrar runs the summer reading program at the library and said there are 85 readers this summer. “So far they have logged 1,200 hours of reading,” she said. “Last year I challenged them to read 1,000 hours and if they did I would dye(染)my hair pink. I still think there is some pink in my hair.Teens are allowed to read anything they want. A popular book series like Harry Porter or Twilight certainly gets kids and teens reading. As long as she can get what teens are interested in in their hands, theyll read. “I truly think there is something out there for everyone,” said Showman Farrar. “Adults define(定义)reading as sitting down and reading a novel, but that doesnt interest everyone.” “So much of teen life in online and teens have become used to reading online,” she said. “I think the best way to get people to read newspapers would be to cover events that they are interested in.” Nicole Gariepy, a junior, said she likes to read a newspaper if it includes more articles about things she is involved with. She enjoys reading fiction books, or anything with a good story. “I probably read about 10 hours a week,” she said. “I like reading because it gets you thinking a lot about other ideas and its another way to learn.” Mikayla Essigmann, another teen volunteer at the library, said, “I like everything. Reading is a good way to pass time.”63. From the passage, we learn that _. A. teens dont read any more today. B. teens should do reading in the libraries C. adults always like reading fiction books D. adults have a wrong opinion about teen64. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggests that _. A. Farrar likes pink hair rather than other color. B. Farrar was satisfied to dye her hair pink. C. Farrar regrets dying her hair pink. D. Farrar was glad that teen finished reading 1,000 hours. 65. Why is reading important to Nicole Cariepy? A. Because it is a good way to kill time. B. Because she can learn many other ideas. C. Because it prepares her to write good stories. D. Because she likes spending time reading online. 第二卷（非选择题，45分）第四部分: 任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题l分, 满分l0分) 请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意: 每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 Do you find it difficult to learn a foreign language successfully? Here are some tips to help you out: Spend the time!By far the most important factor is how much time you are immersed (沉浸) in the language. The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn. This means listening, reading, writing, speaking, and studying words and phrases. This does not mean sitting in class looking out the window, nor listening to other students who do not speak well, nor getting explanations in your own language about how the language works. This means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning!Listen and read every day!Listen no matter where you are on your MP3 player. Read what you are listening to. Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and reading you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time. Focus on words and phrases! Build up your vocabulary- youll need lots. Starts to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Read online, using online dictionaries, and make your own vocabula
