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 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 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 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!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 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.）41．In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become man’s best friends because they can .A．take the place of man’s rescue jobsB．find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildingsC．serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildingsD．get into small spaces42．In doing rescue jobs, .A．rats smell better than dogsB．dogs don’t need to be trained to smell people2007学年第二学期高一开学考试英语试卷第 3 页共 6 页C．robots’ sense of smell can be affected by other smells aroundD．rats can see in the dark and smaller than robots43．Rats have all the following advantages except that .A．they are more fantastic than other animalsB．they are less expensive to train than dogsC．they don’t need electricityD．they are small and can get into small places44．After reading the passage we can know .A．at present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for peopleB．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(B)Dear Mrs. Nugget,You may remember that we have discussed the noise your children make while practicing the piano in your home. You agreed to make sure that they would stop practicing in the evening.You can imagine my astonishment (惊讶) then when I realized that nothing had changed at all and the situation was continuing as before. I find it difficult to stay in my house and I invent excuse to go out for the evening to be away from the terrible noise. Much as I like music , I have had enough and to tell you the truth, I am not prepared to put up with the situation any more.I think it is high time you realized your responsibilities (责任) as a member of the society , and I must warn you that unless you do something about the situation. I will be forced to take legal (法律)action.We all make noise in our day-to-day lives. However, noise which is unreasonable and is likely to disturb others is not acceptable . I will keep a Noise Record Sheet from today on and contact the council when necessary . And I have also sent a copy of this letter to my lawyer.Yours sincerely,R.G. Barge45. Why did Barge write this letter ?A．Because Mrs. Nugget’s children played the piano so badly.B．Because Mrs. Nugget refused to listen to his complaints.(投诉)C．Because Mrs. Nugget didn’t tell the truth as Barge did.D．Because Mrs. Nugget refused to keep her promise.46. What does “ put up with “ mean in this passage ? It means________.A．change B．suffer without a word C．improve D．raise the problem at the lawyer 47. Which is the right order of the events that happened?a, Barge talked with Mrs. Nugget about the noise her children had madeb, Mrs. Nugget’s children played the piano loudly in the evening.c, Mrs. Nugget promised to stop them doing so.d, Barge wrote this letter to Mrs. Nugget , warning that he might take legal action if nothing changed.e, Mrs. Nugget’s children continued making such noise.A．a,b,c,e,d B．b,a,c,e,d C．e,d,c,b,a D．b,c,a,e,d(C)If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in Central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations, for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered history”. Some of it has now been written down. It is not as exact or valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.48. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.“Remembered history”, compared with written history, is less reliable.B.Written records of the past play a most important role in our learning of the humanhistory.C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to remember the events that happened inthe past.D.Where there are no written records of the past, there is no history.49. Why do we know little about what happened in Central Africa 200 years ago?A.There was nothing worth being written down at that time.B.People there did not know how to write in those days.C.The written records were perhaps destroyed in a fire.D.People there ignored the importance of keeping a record.50. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT “remembered history”?A.History based on a person’s imagination.B.Stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth.C.Songs and dances about important events in the past.D.Spoken stories about the past.第四节新概念课文填空（20%）(A) Experiments have proved that children can be instructed in swimming at a very early age.
