Feel like a family day trip outside London Here are some of the best choices.
Harry Potter Studio
The Harry Potter Studio tour is one of the easiest day trips from London. Just read the directions on the website where you buy tickets and follow the crowds from the train to the bus. It is a unique experience. A walk through the studio allows families to appreciate every little detail that was put into the production of the Harry Potter movies from the costumes to the sets.

Leeds Castle
Leeds Castle is one of the most beautiful castles in the UK. It is surrounded by a river and gardens, making it a relaxing and peaceful place. Leeds Castle is open for self-guided tours, and there are kid-friendly shows. Leeds Castle has a wonderfully-designed maze (迷宫), which has a surprise at the center that will appeal to all ages, not just children looking for a place to play. Leeds Castle also has a big playground, one part of which is set aside for small kids while the other inspires teenagers in an old game of hide-and-seek.
Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle is used by the current British royal family. This makes it the longest-occupied palace in Europe. Afraid that your young children might feel dull Don’t worry. There is a kids’ audio tour available as well as an activity that features crafts (手工艺), coloring and dress-up for little ones.

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
24. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A. They must run long distances.
B. They are qualified for the marathon.
C. They have to follow special rules.
D. They are good at swinging their legs.
25. What advantage does race walking have over running
A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.
B. It’s less challenging physically.
C. It’s more effective in body building.
D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.
26. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking
A. Getting experts’ opinions.
B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Hiring an experienced coach.
D. Doing regular exercises.
27. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking
A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.
C
The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown,Ohio,for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another,employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.
The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse,even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. "We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,"explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.
One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光)in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light,about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by,is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn tree into self-powered street lamps.
in the future,the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off"switch"where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.
Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).
Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. A new study of different plants. B. A big fall in crime rates.
C. Employees from various workplaces. D. Benefits from green plants.
29. What is the fun_ction of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer
A. To detect plants’ lack of water
B. To change compositions of plants
C. To make the life of plants longer.
D. To test chemicals in plants.
30. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future
A. They will speed up energy production.
B. They may transmit electricity to the home.
C. They might help reduce energy consumption.
D. They could take the place of power plants.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Can we grow more glowing plants
B. How do we live with glowing plants
C. Could glowing plants replace lamps
D. How are glowing plants made pollution-free
D
Faced with a declining population and workforce, Japan has been increasingly turning to robots for help. Over the years, the robots have carried out a large number of human tasks, including building products and providing care for the elderly.
However, the robots currently being used by companies, like Walmart and Amazon, are only able to perform single, repetitive tasks, such as stacking (堆积) boxes. Model-T, on the other hand, has a wider range of movement and is able to hold, pick and place objects of several different shapes and sizes into different locations, making it ideal for convenience and grocery stores, which sell a large variety of items.
Model-T robots are operated from a distant location by human “pilots” wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset and special gloves, which allow them to feel the product the robot is holding in their hands and guide it to the right shelf.
The VR-controlled robots are ten times cheaper than automated (自动的) robots, because they don’t require advanced programming and are easier to develop and maintain. And their easy-to-use controls require little training. Tomohiro Kano, a general manager in charge of development at FamilyMart, believes this will enable the chain to recruit (招聘) workers who would typically not work in stores.
Though Model-T appears to be getting rapidly through the experiments, it is not quite ready to enter the workforce. Besides being a lot slower than humans, it is also only able to lift packaged items, and cannot get hold of things such as fruits and vegetables. The company is working to improve the weaknesses and hopes to introduce a faster, more skillful Model-T within the next two years. They believe that in addition to the stores, the robots could also be useful in hospitals, allowing doctors to do operations from remote locations.
32. What is one of the features of Model-T according to the text
A. It works much faster than humans.
B. It can easily hold all kinds of objects.
C. It can be operated from a distance away.
D. It is harder to produce than an automated robot.
33. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The low price of Model-T.
B. The easiness to operate Model-T.
C. The low-level programming of Model-T.
D. The strict training for maintaining Model-T.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Model-T is now being massively produced.
B. Japan’s workforce will be reduced by Model-T.
C. The weaknesses of Model-T have been overcome.
D. Model-T may be used in wider fields in the future.
35. In which section of a website can we read this text
A. Technology. B. Economy. C. Lifestyle. D. Environment.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Are you thinking about holidaying alone, but a bit concerned about the dangers You needn’t worry if you consider these tips first.
1. Safety
Unless you positively invite danger — i.e. wandering around a dark park at 3 a.m. with headphones on — travelling alone isn’t actually that risky. 36 In the case of taking taxis, always keep a record of the plate number and ask for an estimated fare (车费) before setting off. You should also carry your ID card with you and always keep a back-up. And most importantly, ensure that someone else knows your route and keep in regular contact with them.
2. Plan
Being alone means you can’t use your partner’s phone when yours runs out of juice, or rely on them should you lose your wallet. 37 It’s a good idea to write down some key numbers of friends, hotels and emergency services beforehand, and keep some back-up money in your bag, just in case.
3. Eating
Many single travelers have a fear of eating alone. 38 You can bring a book to avoid boredom, sit at counters to be less noticeable or use the opportunity to practice your foreign language on a waiter.
4. Making friends
39 This is another common concern when travelling alone. In fact, acquiring new companions (伙伴) is easier than feared. You can smile at people, have open body language, read something interesting to start conversation, or ask strangers a question. All these help you look approachable. More hands-on tips include visiting bars, joining tours or using apps designed to help people make friends.
5. Enjoy it
Without having to consider others’ needs, the joy of solo travel is that you can be entirely selfish: walk at your preferred pace, eat what and when you want, and go wherever you like to see the sights that interest you. 40 .
A. What if no one likes me on my trip
B. The biggest danger is being taken for a ride.
C. It’s actually not so hard to get over your worry.
D. You needn’t get into a panic if this really happens.
E. However well you plan in advance, things will go wrong.
F. Just appreciate your independence and enjoy that freedom.
G. So put emergency systems in place before starting your trip.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was packed and ready to go skiing for the first time. It felt like I was about to take an adventure with the world at my feet. Feeling empowered, I knew something brilliant was going to come out of the trip. I was more than excited at the thought of spending an entire week with my best friend, Lindsay, hanging out and enjoying winter.
Early Monday morning my youth group boarded our bus for the ski trip. Once at the destination, we saw the skiers floating so easily and gracefully (优雅地) down the slopes (山坡). By the time I got my skis and boots, I was confident I’d be a fantastic skier. During the lessons, I mastered the art of skiing within 30 minutes. After spending most of the time practicing again and again on the run for beginners, we were able to fly down the hill by the end of the day. In the evening, we all felt extremely plaining about the pain our ski boots had caused, Lindsay and I decided we weren’t skiing the next day. Well, of course, our friends wouldn’t hear of that.
So, the next morning we found ourselves in line for the ski lift, which wound its way up the high mountain. Lindsay and I stared helplessly at each other, our eyes showing nothing but fear. After I got into the lift, I sat totally still on the chair with my eyes closely shut, not daring to look outside. The lift rose so fast that before I knew it, I had floated up the mountain. When I finally opened my eyes, I found myself at the top in one piece. Thank goodness I was still alive!
Standing at the top of the long slope, with the skis pointing downward, I realized I was shaking. I glanced at Lindsay and found that she was scared too, for her poles kept tapping (敲打) rapidly against the sides of her boots.
Taking a deep breath and gathering all our courage, we gave each other an encouraging nod and both took off. At first I barely moved, but slowly I allowed myself to gain some speed. Soon I was shooting down the mountain with my heart beating wildly.

Hello, boys and girls!
I feel honored to make a speech about “Friendship”. As we know, friendship plays an important role in our life. We can share our joys and sorrows with friends, without whom we may feel lonely.
So precious is friendship that we should treasure it and try to make it last forever. Firstly, we should show concern for our friends. Secondly, if they open up to us, listen patiently, which they value most. More importantly, we’d better communicate with friends regularly. In this way our friendship can last long.
Briefly, it takes care and attention to maintain friendship.
That’s all. Thank you.
第二节 (满分25分) (One possible version)
Then a sharp turning suddenly came into view. I knew I had to stop, but I was moving too fast to control myself. I tried everything, but in vain. There was only one final option — falling over. After rolling for what felt like forever, I lay still, head dizzy. Worse still, my joints were painful and every muscle hurt. I knew there was no way I could keep going. When I struggled to my feet and brushed the snow off, the terrible truth hit me: I still had half the mountain to go!
I was on the point of crying when I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Lindsay. “I have to quit,” I said hopelessly. Pointing to some skillful skiers, Lindsay said, “Look, they are skiing so easily. Come on, I believe we can make it, too.” Looking at her determined expression, I was instantly inspired and seconds later we were both skiing down the slope. Along the way there were a few more falls, but we were not defeated. At the bottom, I glanced up the mountain and felt a wave of gratitude and pride. Thanks to Lindsay’s encouragement, I had overcome my fears and learned to face challenges bravely.

You should also carry your ID card with you and always keep a back-up. And most importantly, ensure that someone else knows your route and keep in regular contact with them.(在乘坐的士时,一定要记录车牌号码,并在出发前索要估计车费。你亦应随身携带身份证,并备存身份证。最重要的是,确保别人知道你的路线,并与他们保持定期联系)”可知,本段主要说明的是个人安全问题,上文提到独自旅行并没有那么危险,可知本句应当是在说明真正的危险是什么,故B选项“最大的危险是坐车被人骗了”符合语境,故选B。
【37题详解】根据后文“It’s a good idea to write down some key numbers of friends, hotels and emergency services beforehand, and keep some back-up money in your bag, just in case.(事先记下一些重要的朋友、酒店和应急服务机构的电+话号码,并在包里备一些钱以防万一,这是个好主意)”可知,后文提到了旅行前一些以防万一的措施,可知是在出发前就要做好紧急措施,G选项中emergency对应后文中emergency。故G选项“所以在出发前要准备好应急措施”符合语境,故选G。
【38题详解】根据上文“Many single travelers have a fear of eating alone.(许多单身旅行者都害怕一个人吃饭)”以及后文“You can bring a book to avoid boredom, sit at counters to be less noticeable or use the opportunity to practice your foreign language on a waiter.(你可以带本书来排解无聊,坐在柜台前让别人注意不到你,或者利用这个机会向服务员练习外语)”可知,上文提到害怕一个人吃饭,后文则提出了解决办法,可知要克服一个人吃饭的忧虑并不困难。故C选项“克服忧虑其实并不难”符合语境,故选C。
【39题详解】根据后文“This is another common concern when travelling alone. In fact, acquiring new companions (伙伴) is easier than feared. You can smile at people, have open body language, read something interesting to start conversation, or ask strangers a question. All these help you look approachable. More hands-on tips include visiting bars, joining tours or using apps designed to help people make friends.(这是独自旅行时另一个常见的问题。事实上,获得新伙伴比你担心的要容易。你可以对别人微笑,使用开放的肢体语言,读一些有趣的东西来开始对话,或者问陌生人一个问题。所有这些都会让你看起来平易近人。更多的实用技巧包括逛酒吧、参加旅行团或使用旨在帮助人们交朋友的应用程序)”可知,本段主要说明的是独自旅行时交朋友的问题,且后文提到了担心,说明本句是在说明担心旅行中没有人喜欢自己,交不到朋友。故A选项“如果在我的旅行中没有人喜欢我怎么办?”符合语境,故选A。
【40题详解】根据小标题“Enjoy it(享受它)”以及上文“Without having to consider others’ needs, the joy of solo travel is that you can be entirely selfish: walk at your preferred pace, eat what and when you want, and go wherever you like to see the sights that interest you.(不用考虑别人的需要,独自旅行的乐趣在于你可以完全自私:以你喜欢的步调行走,想吃什么就吃什么,去任何你想去的地方,去你感兴趣的景点)”可知,本段的建议是享受独自旅行,F选项中enjoy对应小标题中enjoy。故F选项“珍惜你的独立,享受这种自由”符合语境,故选F。

W: Japan’s government has passed laws to lower the age at which people become adults. It is the first time since 1876 that this has happened. From the year 2022, teenagers will become adults at the age of 18, which is two years earlier than the age at which adulthood currently legally happens. However, even though the age has been lowered, there are still certain things that will not change. The legal age for drinking alcohol and smoking will remain fixed at 20. The new law will enable 18-year-olds to get married without the agreement of their parents, and allow them to apply for loans and credit cards.
The new law has been passed in an effort to bring about social and economic change in Japan. The government hopes to see an increase in the number of young people getting married and starting families. This will help to deal with the nation’s falling birth rate and ageing population. Greater financial freedoms could be a boost to the economy and provide more tax incomes. This is very important for a government struggling to deal with increasing retirement money and health care payments.
Many of Japan’s young people are more concerned about how the law will affect traditional Coming of Age Day. This is a national holiday held in January in which 20-year-olds dress up in traditional clothes to celebrate adulthood.

二、续写内容解析
根据前文开头的 “… go skiing for the first time 及 take an adventure” 可知,本文的主线是讲述作者第一次参加滑雪的冒险经历。根据 “Feeling empowered, I knew something brilliant was going to come out of the trip. I was more than excited …” 可看出,刚开始“我”对第一次滑雪感觉很兴奋和期待。接着从 “By the time I got my skis and boots, I was confident I’d be a fantastic skier confident. / I mastered the art of skiing within 30 minutes. / … we were able to fly down the hill by the end of the day.” 看出“我”充满自信,而且在新手滑道上练得很好。而后根据 “Lindsay and I stared helplessly at each other, our eyes showing nothing but fear. / I sat totally still on the chair with my eyes closely shut, not daring to look outside. / … I realized I was shaking. / … she was frightened too... ” 这些描述可看出,当真正面对正式的滑道要从高高的山顶往下滑时,“我”和朋友Lindsay是恐惧的。再往后根据 “I allowed myself to gain some speed. Soon I was shooting down the mountain with my heart beating wildly. ” 以及续写部分第一段首句 “Then a sharp turning suddenly came into view.” 再加上续写部分第二段首句中的 “I was on the point of crying ” 来综合判断可知,“我”加速后突遇急转弯,因为是新手,很可能会因为无法控制自己的速度而害怕、慌乱、摔倒、沮丧。与前文对比,这是故事发展中的起伏转折部分,即矛盾冲突。所以续写第一段要描写在这种突发情况下,“我”的反应以及身心感受。需要有合理的环境、动作和心理活动描写。
根据续写部分第二段首句中的 “I felt a hand on my shoulder” 可看出,困难时刻有人来帮助“我”。根据前文开头交代的 “my best friend, Lindsay” “we gave each other an encouraging nod and both took off” 可知,“我”和好朋友Lindsay一起往山下滑,因而预测,帮助和鼓励“我”的人应该就是Lindsay。这是故事的高潮结局部分,即如何解决矛盾冲突。所以,续写第二段应该描写Lindsay 对“我”的鼓励和安慰,以及两人如何共同克服困难,勇敢迎接挑战,最终成功到达山底。此段应该描写场景、动作和语言,以及作者的感激和兴奋之情。(注意:如果第二段考生描写的是Lindsay 之外的其他人提供支持和帮助,属于无故撇开线索人物,与前文衔接不当,要按降档处理。)
综上所述,整个故事中,“我”第一次滑雪的心路历程是:兴奋-->自信-->害怕-->遇到挫折-->受到鼓励-->取得成功。考生可以从不同角度进行合理描写,但主题思想一定要体现正能量。

Last Christmas my older sister Jane got a unicycle (独轮脚踏车) she had requested. I thought it kind of strange, wondering why she would want something like that. She did ride and practice for a while, but eventually stopped.
Curious, I tried it, finding it very hard and thinking it impossible for a weak girl like me to learn. Since our dining room of our old house had low beams (屋梁), I used them like monkey bars to practice riding, which helped a lot. Because I thought it was really fun, I practiced every spare moment I had, teaching myself to go forwards, backwards and to turn. Practicing was something I loved to do in my spare time, but it did get discouraging when I fell. After months of practicing, I finally made it.
One morning, our teacher Maria excitedly announced that a school talent show was to be held to raise money for charity. She encouraged my classmates to sign up for it. I’m not always best in front of a crowd, which was why I was very nervous when I meant to put on my performance by doing a hula hoop (圈) and riding a unicycle on stage. But I overcame my fear and entered myself for the talent show, for which I practiced a lot in case I should mess up.
My routine (整套动作) was to do the hula hoop from my neck, down to my stomach, then to my knees. After that, I was to ride my unicycle forwards and backwards on stage. Lastly I would do the hula hoop while riding the unicycle. I was to do all this accompanied by my carefully selected music. I wondered what people from my seventh grade would think of my performance. With my friends inspiring me, I built up my confidence. On the night of the show, many people found out there was going to be a unicycle performance, so more came, even the headmaster.
Para. 1: I was both nervous and excited when it was my turn.
Para. 2: When I got home, I couldn’t wait to check my mobile phone left at home.
范文:
I was both nervous and excited when it was my turn. But I quickly calmed down. Full of confidence, I walked on stage with my hula hoop and unicycle. When the music started to play, I concentrated on every movement, doing the routine skillfully as planned. The audience excitedly screamed, flooding the loud music. It felt so great and I wasn’t nervous at all while performing. On finishing my routine and bowing to the audience, I was greeted with another storm of applause.
When I got home, I couldn’t wait to check my mobile phone left at home. To my great joy, I received many messages of congratulations from my classmates and teachers. Maria texted me, singing high praise for my courage and efforts. Even the headmaster emailed me, saying that my act was the highlight of the show and how much he loved it. He also expressed his appreciation for what I did for charity. I replied it was my pleasure to have done that. Recalling all this, I realize that had I not practiced a lot and taken the chance, I wouldn’t have experienced all these wonderful things.
2020-2021学年高二上学期期末考试阅读B&C

A rat may seem like an unlikely candidate to receive a gold medal for bravery and devotion to duty. However, six-year-old African rat Magawa, which was honored with Britain’s highest animal award on September 25, 2020, is no ordinary rat. Over the past five years, the “HeroRAT” has saved hundreds of lives by detecting 39 landmines (地雷) and 28 unexploded items in Cambodia.
Landmines were used during wars to protect important areas such as borders, camps or bridges and to restrict the movement of opposing armies. But it became extremely difficult to remove the explosives once the conflicts ended. Today, over 60 million people in 59 countries live in daily fear of landmines.
Magawa is one of hundreds of HeroRATs that have been trained by an animal charity in Belgium to detect landmines since the 1990s. The charity, which teaches the animals by rewarding them with tasty food each time they smell out a landmine and send signals to the handlers, says the intelligent rats are ideal for the dangerous job. They are easy to train, and more importantly, light enough not to set off the hidden explosives even if they mistakenly walk over them. The rats, which use their sharp smelling skills to identify the chemicals in landmines, are also more efficient (有效) than human-held metal detectors.
Magawa, which has been working in Cambodia since 2016, is the charity’s most successful HeroRAT. In addition to being accurate, it can screen an area the size of a tennis court in 30 minutes. This task would take a human with a metal detector up to 4 days! Over the past 4 years, the powerful animal has helped clear over 141,000 square meters of land, equal to 20 football fields.
Every discovery made by Magawa has reduced the risk of injury or death for local people. Hopefully, with brave detection animals like Magawa hard at work, the threats will soon be all removed.
24. What makes the rats the best choice for the dangerous job
A. The rats’ weight and sense of smell. B. The rats’ intelligence and experience.
C. The charity’s method of training the rats. D. The delicious food for rewarding the rats.
25. What are the numbers in paragraph 4 used for
A. Presenting the charity’s success. B. Illustrating the rat’s natural talents.
C. Emphasizing the rat’s great efficiency. D. Showing the inability of metal detectors.
26. Which of the following is not mentioned in the text
A. Where Magawa is working now. B. What the landmines were used for.
C. When Magawa began to be trained. D. How the HeroRATs detect landmines.
27. What is the main idea of the text
A. Landmines are difficult to remove for human beings.
B. Rats are cleverer than humans at discovering dangers.
C. Landmines present deadly threat to Cambodian people.
D. A rat receives a gold medal for its life-saving contributions.
C
Hip hop is a form of musical and artistic expression that started in urban (城市) areas in New York in the 1970s. The expression comes from joining together two words with special meanings. “Hip” means cool or current while “hop” refers to the style of dancing.
Kool Herc Campbell is considered very important in starting hip hop culture. He was from Jamaica and used the Jamaican tradition of poetry and speech over music. He started playing music and speaking poetry at outdoor basketball courts to give encouragement to the young dancers. This speech soon came to be known as “rapping”.
Then hip hop as a culture started to develop and spread throughout some areas of New York City. This culture featured graffiti (涂鸦) art as well as its own unique style and music. Artists and rap musicians came to consider hip hop as a new urban culture. As it grew in popularity, newspapers and magazines started reporting about it.
In the early 1980s, bands and musicians started experimenting with electronic instruments to make a new sound. Hip hop was starting to mature (成熟) as the art of making music in new ways spread. Rap artists also started to change their style. Many rappers talked about urban problems, showing their disappointment in drugs, unemployment, and unfair treatment by authorities such as the police.
Recently, hip hop has spread globally. In Europe, it has also become a way for many young people to express their anger at social problems and environmental issues. In many parts of Asia, hip hop has been adopted as a form of music for business, produced only with consumers in mind. Many people believe that this is not “real” hip hop music and argue that many countries have simply borrowed the “look” and “sound” of hip hop without really understanding the culture behind it.

细节理解题。根据第三段中“They are easy to train, and more importantly, light enough not to set off the hidden explosives even if they mistakenly walk over them. The rats, which use their sharp smelling skills to identify the chemicals in landmines, are also more efficient than human-held metal detectors.(它们很容易训练,更重要的是,它们足够轻,即使它们不小心从上面走过,也不会引爆隐藏的爆炸物。这些老鼠利用它们敏锐的嗅觉来识别地雷中的化学物质,它们的工作效率也比人类手持的金属探测器要高)”可知,是老鼠的体重和嗅觉让老鼠成为从事危险工作的最佳选择。故选A。

(这些老鼠利用它们敏锐的嗅觉来识别地雷中的化学物质,它们的工作效率也比人类手持的金属探测器要高)”以及第四段“Magawa, which has been working in Cambodia since 2016, is the charity’s most successful HeroRAT. In addition to being accurate, it can screen an area the size of a tennis court in 30 minutes. This task would take a human with a metal detector up to 4 days! Over the past 4 years, the powerful animal has helped clear over 141,000 square meters of land, equal to 20 football fields.(自2016年以来,Magawa一直在柬埔寨工作,是该慈善机构最成功的“英雄鼠”。除了精确之外,它还能在30分钟内扫描一个网球场大小的区域。这项任务需要一个带着金属探测器的人花费4天的时间!在过去的4年里,这种强大的动物已经清理了超过141000平方米的土地,相当于20个足球场)”可推知,第四段中的数字是用来强调老鼠的巨大效率。故选C。
