閱讀理解

  Everybody hates rats.But in the earthquake places 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(救援)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, “ ‘Robot’ 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 would 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.)

(1)

In the earthquake places, rats will become man's best friends because they can ________.

[  ]

A.

take the place of man in rescue jobs

B.

find the positions of people alive who are trapped in buildings

C.

serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings

D.

send signals for the coming earthquake

(2)

[  ]

A.

treating wounded people.

B.

helping rescuers.

C.

smelling people among different smells.

D.

carry the wounded people to safety.

(3)

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

[  ]

A.

the nose made by the rat

B.

the rat's unusual behavior

C.

the signal sent by the radio on the rat's back

D.

the smell given off by the person

(4)

In doing rescue jobs, ________.

[  ]

A.

rats have better sense of smell than dogs.

B.

dogs don't need to be trained to smell people.

C.

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

D.

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

(5)

After reading the passage we can know ________.

[  ]

rats have taken the place of dogs in search for people.

閱讀理解,閱讀下面的短文,然后根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,在每小題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

  It is common to believe that learning just takes place in school, but much of human learning happens outside the classroom, even from birth and people continue to learn throughout their lives.

  Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to use toys, food, and other objects.They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments.They learn how to communicate with their parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world.When they enter school, children learn subjects like reading, writing, and maths.They also continue to learn a lot outside the classroom.They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished.They learn social skills for communicating with other children.After they finish school, people must learn to deal with many changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.

  Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields.Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children.Scientists, social workers and other human service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people's behaviors.

  Learning is closely related(相關(guān)的)to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain(大腦).Scientists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later offers knowledge when we need it.However, scientists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person's experiences.?

(1)

The underlined word “siblings” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

[  ]

A.

teachers

B.

classmates

C.

doctors

D.

brothers or sisters

(2)

When do children begin to know to behave well according to the passage?

[  ]

A.

After they go into society.

B.

Before they enter school.

C.

When they are at school.

D.

Before they are born.

(3)

Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?

[  ]

A.

As a matter of fact, learning begins at a person's birth and last the whole life.

B.

Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate their students.

C.

People need to understand how certain experiences change their behaviors.

D.

Social workers need to study how experiences affect people's thoughts.
