Birds Save Lives

　　Bad weather can come up suddenly at sea. Winds and waves can smash (粉碎) boats. People may end up in the water. When that happens, there is no time to waste. Pigeons (鴿子) may be sent to the rescue (援救) .

　　The pigeons are a special group of birds. The Navy is training (訓(xùn)練) these birds to look for the color orange in the water. That is because life jackets are orange.

　　The pigeons ride in a helicopter (直升飛機(jī)) with the Navy crew (全體飛行員). The birds can see a very long distance－about 2000 feet. They usually spot (認(rèn)出) the orange life jackets before the crew does. That means the crew can act more quickly to save people.

　　Anything orange in the water gets the attention of the pigeons. The birds also find orange surfboards (沖浪板) that have been lost.

[　　]

A．how to put on a life jacket

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2014屆江蘇省八年級(jí)月考英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Thirty years ago, Lake Ponkapog in Hartwell, New Jersey, was full of life. Many birds and animals lived beside the water, which was full of fish. Now there are few birds, animals, and fish. The lake water is polluted. It is in a colour of dirty brown, and it is filled with strange plants.

How did this happen? First, we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains, water comes into the lake from all around. In the past, there were forests all round Lake Ponkapog, so the rainwater was clean.

Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use the chemicals (化學(xué)制品)in their gardens. They use other chemicals inside their houses for cleaning and killing insects. There are also many businesses. Businesses use chemicals in their machines of shops. Other chemicals fall onto the ground from cars or trucks. When it rains, the rainwater picks up all the chemicals from home and businesses and then carries them into the lake . They pollute the water and kill the animals.

Boats on the lake are also a problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats（汽船）. But oil and gas from boats often get into the lake. So more bad chemicals go into the water this way.

People in Hartwell are worried . They love their lake and want to save it. Will it be possible? A clean lake must have clean rainwater going into it. Clean rainwater is possible only if people are more careful about chemicals at home and at other chemicals on the ground. And they mustn’t use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people’s lives. Only then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful, clean lake again.

1.In the past, the water in Lake Ponkapog was made clean by ________.

A．forests           B．rain              C．birds             D．fish

2.Chemicals from homes and businesses _________.

3.Cleaner rainwater will mean _________ .

A．more boats on the lake                   B．more dirty things in the lake

C．a(chǎn) cleaner lake                          D．a(chǎn) dirty lake

4.To save Lake Ponkapog, people need to ________.

A．be more careful about chemicals           B．use the water

C．grow fewer plants in the gardens            D．use more motorboats on the lake
