• 2．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）.
  
  （1）In the world earthquake capitals，rats will become popular because they can

  .
  A．get into small spaces
  B．take the place of man's rescue jobs
  C．find food for survivors trapped in buildings
  D．find the position of survivors trapped in buildings
  （2）From the third paragraph we know rescuers can judge a person is alive by

  .
  A．the noise made by the rat
  B．the rat's unusual behaviour
  C．the signal sent by the radio on the rat
  D．the smell given off by the person trapped
  （3）After reading the passage we know that now

  .
  A．people still use dogs and robots in rescue work
  B．the "rat project" has been completed already
  C．rats have replaced dogs in searching for people
  D．people are happy to see a rat in a building
  （4）The main idea of the passage is about

  in an earthquake.
  A．dos and don'ts
  B．the role rats will play
  C．ways of rescuing people
  D．the reason for not using dogs

• 3．America is a mobile society.Friendships between Americans can be close and real，yet disappear soon if situations change.Neither side feels hurt by this.Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two，perhaps a few letters for a while——then no more.If the same two people meet again by chance，even years later，they pick up the friendship.This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand，because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings，extending（延伸） sometimes deeply into both families.
     Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes，share their holidays，and their home life.They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality （好客）easily.
     Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives，they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time.This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time.Sometimes，we，as hosts，will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends.The Americans，however，express their welcome usually at homes，but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine.They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus.And they expect that we will phone them from there.Once we arrive at their homes，the welcome will be full，warm and real.We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
     For the Americans，it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants，except for purely business matters.So accept their hospitality at home!
  
  （1）The writer of this passage must be

  .
  A．a(chǎn)n American
  B．a(chǎn) Chinese
  C．a(chǎn) professor
  D．a(chǎn) student
  （2）From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend，we will probably be

  .
  A．warmly welcomed at the airport
  B．offered a ride to his home
  C．treated in a friendly way at his home
  D．treated to dinner in a restaurant
  （3）The underlined words "generous with our time" in Paragraph 3 probably mean

  .
  A．strict with time
  B．serious with time
  C．careful with time
  D．willing to spend time
  （4）A suitable title for this passage would probably be "

  ".
  A．Friendships between Chinese
  B．Friendships between Americans
  C．Americans' hospitality
  D．Americans' and Chinese's views of friendships

• 4．As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica，she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins"（企鵝） longing to say hello.These gentle，lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
     Ever since her childhood，Ginni，now 71，has had a deep love for travel.Throughout her career （職業(yè)） as a professional dancer，she toured in the UK，but always longed to explore further.When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest，she decided it was time to take the plunge.
     After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts，Ginni began to travel the world，eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile.And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego，the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. "I just decided I wanted to go，" she says. "I had no idea about what I'd find there and I wasn't nervous，I just wanted to do it.And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way."
     In March 2008，Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she'd never met before，to begin the journey towards Antarctica. "From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises，the whole experience was amazing.Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has，" Ginni says. "I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale；it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us.You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater."
     The realization that this is a precious land，to be respected by humans，was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
  
  （1）Which of the following best explains "take the plunge" underlined in paragraph 2？

  
  A．Try challenging things.
