Ⅰ. 阅读理解A(2020·宜春高一检测) My elephant adventures began in 1984 when, with our one-year-old daughter, my husband and I crossed the jungle in a jeep, sticking behind a lorry for comfort and company. The elephants standing like watchers on either side of the forest highway had us praying for our safety. One elephant made loud noise and angrily pawed (抓) the ground, warning us off. We raced away before they could attack.It was wise to keep elephants at a distance. We heard stories of tourists whose jeeps were overturned, and a couple of photographers were killed because they movedtoo close. Elephants are misleading animals. They give people an impression of being quiet and kind, so touri sts think it’s safe to picnic in the jungle. Yet angry elephants have knocked them down in seconds before they could take off.Elephants might make life unpredictable and dangerous. It’s difficult for inexperienced environmentalists to even, begin to gras p this reality. I’ve heard city people say “We humans are encroaching (侵害) on their forests. ” But what’s the solution?When a poor farmer borrows heavily to plant a crop, he’ll do anything to protect it. His life depends on it. Elephants ruining an about-to-be-harvested corn field cannot expect to be welcomed like special guests. The battle between beast and farmer is violent.Experts are working on solutions to human-elephant conflicts (冲突). Some are sure to fail to like the plan to build electric fences around human settlements. Elephants rapidly figure them out and come in, around and over them.There are more questions than answers, for sure. But as my husband said, “More people die in car accidents every single day, in every city on the earth. But they won’t take cars off the roads, will they? ” So we need to seek practical ways of preventing elephant accidents.1. What is the writer’s purpose in writing Paragraph 1?A. To tell readers her family’s experience of elephant adventures.B. To show readers elephants are angry and dangerous.C. To introduce the topic of the whole passage.D. To describe how her family keep away from elephants.2. Why do tourists think it is safe to picnic in the jungle?A. They think elephants are quiet and kind.B. They haven’t heard the stories of elephant killing people.C. They like elephants too much.D. They think they can race away in seconds.3. What does a poor farmer do to protect his crops?A. Welcome elephants like special guests.B. Fight with elephants for his harvest.C. Stop planting crops.D. Depend on elephants for his life.4. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. It is a good idea to build electric fences around human settlements.B. It is impossible to find a solution to settle human-elephant conflicts.C. We should first reduce car accidents to prevent elephant accidents.D. It is our duty to protect elephants rather than kill them.BEverybody hates rats (big mice). But in the earthquake capitals of the world — Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey —rats will soon be man’s 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 can’t get i nto 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 electricit y!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 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).5. Why will rats become man’s best friends in the world earthquake capitals?A. Because they can take the place of man’s rescue jobs.B. Because they can find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings.C. Because they can serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings.D. Because they can get into small spaces.6. How can the rescuers judge whether a person is alive according to the third paragraph?A. By the noise made by the rat.B. By the rat’s unusual behavior.C. By the signal sent by the radio on the rat’s back.D. By the smell given off by the person.7. Which of these statements is NOT the advantage that rats have?A. They are more lovely than other animals.B. They are less expensive to train than dogs.C. They don’t need electricity.D. They are small and can get into small places.8. What can we infer from the passage?A. At present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for people.B. The “rat project” has been completed.C. People are now happy to see a rat in a building.D. Now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues.Ⅱ. 阅读填句根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
