2．阅读理解
Everybody hates rats. But rats may soon be man's new good 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. 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 any place 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）.
（1）Where do you think you can find this passage?
A. In a magazine about toys.
B. In a history book.
C. In a newspaper about science.
D. In an advertisement.
（2）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.（3）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.
（4）Which is the best title of this passage?
A. Ways of saving people
B. Rats
C. Earthquakes
D. Rats for rescue
【答案】（1）C
（2）C
（3）A
（4）D
【解析】【分析】主要讲了老鼠是怎样营救人的。

（1）推断题。

根据全文可知主要讲了老鼠救人，所以可以在关于科学的报纸上发现，故选C。

（2）细节题。

根据This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals.可知信号被发送给收音机，而没有说老鼠和收音机一样聪明，故选C。

Her grandmother planted the beans every year and served them at many meals. Cassie was sure they would be unbeatable beans.
However, the plan did not work out that way. Although Cassie's bean plants looked healthy with beautiful purple flowers, they did not grow as fast or climb as high as any of her neighbours. These people chose beans from seed（种子）shops. Their beans had wonderful names like "Rocket "or" Top Crop". One type was even named "King's Bean". That was the bean Ivan planted, and his plants climbed almost to the top of the fence. Cassie's plants were just near the middle of the fence.
On the day of the competition, Cassie was disappointed that her beans were in last place. Ivan laughed at her beans and said she could win a prize for the slowest, shortest bean.
The organizer, Mr Williams, handed out medals for the fastest-growing and the tallest bean plants." Now there remains only one final test, and it is just as important: the taste test."
Mr Williams cooked the beans from each competitor and chose five experienced villagers as judges（裁判）.

Vanuatu is an island nation in the South West Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sports, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu's islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano（火山） surfing and land diving.
Volcano Surfing On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 361 metres into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts（爆发） almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it's very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano-- without getting hit by flying rocks! It's fast, fun and dangerous- the perfect extreme sport（极限运动）.
Land Diving Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony（宗教仪式）. A man ties tree vines（树藤） to his legs. He then jumps head- first from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head- without breaking the vine. Every spring, island natives （men only）still take part in this amazing activity.
