But rats may soon be man39。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 can39。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 rat39。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 rat39。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. Robots39。 noses don39。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 don39。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 couldn39。t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn39。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 don39。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 don39。t 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 rescue【答案】 （1）C（2）C（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】主要講了老鼠是怎樣營(yíng)救人的。 （1）推斷題。根據(jù)全文可知主要講了老鼠救人，所以可以在關(guān)于科學(xué)的報(bào)紙上發(fā)現(xiàn)，故選C。 （2）細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio ，而沒(méi)有說(shuō)老鼠和收音機(jī)一樣聰明，故選C。 （3）細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)It would be great.

These things have helped us in our daily life. The latest thing is selfrepairing clothing. Scientists have developed a special way for clothing to repair rips and tears by itself, without the need for sewing. It works with materials such as cotton, linen and wool. The scientists are from the Naval Research Office and Pennsylvania State University in the USA. Scientists Dr Walter Dressick and Dr Melik Demirel looked at how a squid can cling on to things so well. The research team found a protein in the rings of teeth that cover the suckers on a squid. The protein is similar to the one found in the silk that spiders use to make spider webs. It is very strong and elastic. The new protein has been developed as part of a coating, which is put on clothes. When the coating is dipped in water, the area around the rip or tear joins together in less than a minute. This could help clothes last longer and save money for us. It could also be useful for military and survival clothes. People like soldiers and mountaineers would be safer if they had clothes that could be repaired quickly and easily. Professor Demirel spoke about the invention. He said, The coatings are thin, less than a micron, so they wouldn39。t be noticed in everyday wear. Then he added, Even thin, they increase the overall strength of the material. For the first time, we are making selfhealing textiles.（1）From what have humans learnt a lot？ A.Books.B.Nature.C.Scientists.D.Clothing.（2）What is NOT needed for the selfrepairing clothes to fix themselves？ A.Tears.B.Cotton.C.Sewing.D.Glue.（3）What39。s the Chinese meaning of the underlined words is similar to？ A.與……相同B.與……不同C.與……相似D.與……一樣（4）The passage is about .
