Everybody hates rats. 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.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 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.)

54.From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by          .

A.the noise made by the rat

B.the rat’s unusual behaviour

C.the smell given off by the person

D.the signal sent by the radio on the rat’s back

55.In doing rescue jobs,  ______.       .

A.rats smell better than dogs

B.robots’ sense of smell can be affected by other smells around.

C.dogs don’t need to be trained to smell people

D.rats can see in the dark and smaller than robots

56.Rats have all the following advantages except that  ______       .

A.they are less expensive to train than dogs

B.they are more fantastic than other animals

C.they don’t need electricity

D.they are small and can get into small places

57.After reading the passage we can know         .

A.at present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for people

B.the “rat project” has been finished

C.now people still use dogs and robots in saving people

D.people are now happy to see a rat in a building

D.

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.

However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.

And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.

58. According to the passage ______.

A. boxing rings should be round

B. there should be egg in an eggplant

C. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree

D. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things

59.Which of the following is the correct plural?

A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth.

60.Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?

A. A wise man and a wise guy.

B. Overlook and oversee.

C. Quite a lot and quite a few.

D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.

61. ___________

Like a flower with a pleasant scent, your smile can draw people close enough to see inside you. That’s Smile Power. A smile has the power to radiate the qualities that make you beautiful on the inside — kindness, friendship, honesty, respect, patience, and self-control. So please give smiles away like flowers. Let your smile be an invitation for others to get to know the great person behind the smile. Then let people see that your smile doesn’t stop at your mouth. It goes all the way to your heart. On the other hand, we are drawn to people who smile and we want to know a smiling person and figure out what is so good. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all push people away, but a smile draws them in.

62. __________

Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There’s a good chance your mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you to have a good feeling. So smile is a good state of mind, you have a smile, then you will have a better feeling. So when you are smiling you lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier.

63. __________

The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger. Don’t go for a face lift, just try smiling your way through the day — you’ll look younger. Then you will feel better and have more confidence, thus are more likely to be promoted, and more likely to be approached. Put on a smile at meetings and appointments and people will react to you differently because of your confidence.

64. __________

Stress can really show up on our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed. When you are stressed, take time to put on a smile. This is because when you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. You can sit for a few minutes, take a reading. Then smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling. You will be happy to see your stress disappear quickly.

65. __________

Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It’s hard. When we smile our body is sending the rest of us a message that “Life is Good!” Stay away from depression, stress and worry by smiling. So smile is a positive state of mind, every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing and then other people will also answer your smile

书面表达：

Dear headmaster,

I’m Li Hua, a student from Senior 3. I am writing to draw attention to some improper behavior among us students—wasting food in the canteen. Some of them throw away a little food while others waste most of their food just because the food is not so delicious. As is known, some people at home and abroad are suffering serious hunger. I always feel painful whenever I see this. It is obviously inappropriate for students to waste food.

In order to solve the problem, some measures should be taken by our school. First, all the students are made to understand that a great number of people don’t have adequate food, which may help them realize how terrible it is for them to waste food. What’s more, I wonder if our school can make some specific regulations to forbid such behavior. I believe that the bad habit will be got rid of soom with our joint efforts.

I hope my suggestions will be successful.

Yours faithfully,

Li Hua
