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. Robots 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 a scientist says, It would be great. A rat could get into any place 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).（1）Where do you think you can find this passage? A .

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 dont like robots.D . Because rats are brave.（4）Which is the best title of this passage? A . Ways of saving peopleB . RatsC . EarthquakesD . Rats for rescue4. （10分）阅读理解 US Stud ToursWater Planet language CampCamp Address: Florida 32407, USAPhone: (850)230-60303-week camp in Panama City Florida where your children(10-13y)can get close to nature as well as American culture.

For many, the answer may be factors(因素)such as electronics and technology, yet for others, the reply focuses on the balancebetween schoolwork and extracurricular(课外的)activities.Most students grow up developing some type of hobby. Whether it is playing baseball on the weekends, or joining a chess club after school, taking part in extracurricular activities is a large part of students daily routines. However, as schoolwork and pressure increase in high school, many students argue that extracurricular activities must fall by the wayside because they are not needed, or not so important. High school is a time when youre supposed to explore what you love, Samantha Luk, a high school student, said. When it comes to setting a timetable, however, Luk said she was often under pressure to give more importance to study. This thought of giving up personal interests for study is common among many students. They find it challenging to prove whether developing the interests is advantageous.As a cross-country runner, journalism fan and violin lover, I disagree with those who decrease the importance of after-school activities. There are many reasons why involvement in after-school activities is beneficial. The most important point is that sports, clubs and regular meetings give students time toenjoy each others company（陪伴）and start up friendships. These activities also allow teenagers to follow their interests and to reduce stress. So in spite of (尽管)heavy schoolwork, students should keep on following their hobbies although it is very hard.Some students, on the other hand, choose the opposite way. They spend too much time on their hobbies that they are passionate(狂热的)about. Sometimes this passion helps students get recognition or prizes for their surprising talents, but generally speaking, it just makes one student different from the other.Schoolwork and interests are of different values, so one should never have to choose between study and extracurricular activities, unless he or she wants to. Each student should try to balance them, and your balance may differ from others. Achieving this kind of balance is to find out what is important for you.It completely depends on your personal preference.（1）From what Samantha Luk said, we know that . A . she was good at setting a timetableB . she often stayed up studying at nightC . she spent a lot of time on her hobbiesD . she put her study before her interests（2）The writer probably agrees that . A . surprising talents can help students succeedB . after-school activities are necessary and importantC . students should choose either study or their interestsD . students need to develop hobbies different from others（3）What might be the best title for the passage? A . Managing Your Time WiselyB . Living a Relaxing School LifeC . Developing Different InterestsD . Discovering Your Own Balance6. （6分）阅读理解 Squirrels (松鼠) are getting ready for winter. They are looking for nuts and seeds, digging holes in the ground or finding holes in trees. Thats where they store the food they will need during the coming months, when the weather is cold and sometimes snowy.Squirrels spend a lot of time in trees, which are like restaurants for them. Among their favorite things to eat are nuts and other parts of trees, like tender buds (花苞).Squirrels may also eat corn, insects and other animals. And, as anyone who has a bird knows, squirrels love bird food!Squirrels stay active all winter, so they need plenty of food to help keep up their energy. Squirrels tend to bury food underground, piece by piece. Some squirrels may gather food into piles that they put at the base of trees or bury underground.When they need food, squirrels use their memory and smell to help them find what they buried. Sometimes, youll even see them digging through the snow.Squirrels make nests in trees. Some squirrels spend much of the winter in underground tunnels (地道), where it is warmer.When spring comes, squirrels change their eating habits to new plant growth, like buds and leaves.
