 Since the winter last year, the haze(雾霾) has happened a lot of times. It has done great harm(伤害) to our daily life. More and more people have to go to see the doctor because the serious disease caused by the haze. Many traffic accidents happened and quite a lot of flights have to be put off just because of the haze weather. On Oct.30, 2013, in 16-car chain collision (连环相撞) on the highway in Tangshan, many people were hurt and some even died. Beijing International Airport canceled or put off nearly 76 flights on Oct.6, 2013 as the result of the weather. (Wu Hai, Shantou) |
It’s reported that 293 pedestrians(行人)die of traffic accidents every day in China. I myself ever experienced a very terrible accident. Early last Thursday morning, I was walking on my way to school as usual. A little boy ran past me. He ran so fast when crossing the street that he didn’t notice a speeding car came round the corner. I was scared and shouted to him to stop, but it was too late. The boy was knocked down by the car. I hurried to the boy, crying for help. The boy was taken to the hospital as soon as the policemen and doctors arrived. Later, I learned the boy died because he lost too much blood.(Li Lan, Guangzhou) |

Everybody hates rats. But rats may soon be man’s new good friend.
What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue(援救)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. “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!
The “rat project” is not finished, but a scientist says, “It would be great. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to, and a rat would get out 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).In the writer’s opinion, rats may become man’s new friend because .
| A．they can be food for people |
| B．they can help rescuers to find living people |
| C．they are lovely |
| D．they can completely replace man’s rescue jobs |
What does the underlined word “this” mean?
| A．An earthquake. |
| B．The rat has smelled a person |
| C．The rat has smelled that someone is alive |
| D．The rat has found a robot. |
Which of the following is NOT true?
| A．Rats don’t need electricity. |
| B．Rats are better than robots when smelling. |
| C．Rats are as clever as radios. |
| D．Rats can see things in the dark when doing rescues. |
Why does the “rat project” sound great according to the passage?
| A．Because rats can get into very small spaces. |
| B．Because rats have better noses than dogs. |
| C．Because rats don’t like robots. |
| D．Because rats are brave. |
Which is the best title of this passage?
| A．Ways of saving people | B．Rats and robots | C．After earthquake | D．Rats for rescue |
