四、阅读理解
22．阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
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 (信号). 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 man's best friends because they can ________.
A．take the place of man's rescue jobs
B．find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings
C．serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings
D．get into small spaces
（2）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 signal sent by the radio on the rat's back
D．the smell given off by the person
（3）After reading the passage we know ________.
A．at present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for people
B．the "rat project" has been completed
C．people are now happy to see a rat in a building
D．now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues
【答案】（1）B
（2）C
（3）D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了用老鼠来寻找在地震中被困的人的优势。
（1）考查推理判断。根据第三段可知，人们利用老鼠来搜寻地震中的被困人员，故选B。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal (信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals."当这种情况发生时，老鼠的大脑会发出信号。它的背面有一个小收音机，然后救援人员跟着无线电信号。可知选C。
（3）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"The 'rat project' is not finished…"可知A、B两项错误；再根据“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).”排除C。故选A。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
23．阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Earthquakes strike
suddenly at any time of the day or night, but there's no way to tell when. If
an earthquake happens, it may cause many deaths, injuries and damage. So you
need a good preparation ahead of time. Decide how and where your family will
get together if separated. Choose an out-of-state friend or relative that the
family members can call after the quake to report where they are and how they
are. Know the safe places in each room: under the strong tables, desks, or
against inside walls. Keep enough food, water and other things, including a
flashlight, a radio, medicines and clothing.
During the earthquake, you
should keep a clear head and never be too nervous to know what to do. Protect
your head and neck with your arms. If possible, take a book, a pillow or any
other things to protect yourself from falling glass and ruins. If you are
indoors, you must immediately lie under any strong furniture. If outdoors, move
to an open area away from trees, buildings, walls or power poles. If you are in
a narrow valley, move to the centre of it and look up for falling stones. If
you are in a car, move to the side of the road and stop the car. Do not stop
near buildings, power lines or on or under bridges. Stay in your car until the
shaking stops.
Do not move a badly
injured person unless he is in great danger after the earthquake. Do not use
the telephone immediately unless there is a serious injury or fire. Turn on
your radio for instructions and news reports. Be prepared for aftershocks. If
you want to leave your home, post a message inside your home telling your
family members where you can be found.
（1）To prepare for an earthquake, we should make sure of ________.
A．when an earthquake may happen
B．the place where we can find our family
C．how to receive instructions and news reports
D．the money with which we can buy food and water
（2）If we are driving when an earthquake happens, we should ________.
A．find a strong building to hide in
B．leave the car as soon as possible
C．go on driving quickly to leave the area
D．move to the side of the road and stop there
（3）From the passage, we know that during an earthquake ________.
A．we should keep calm and know what to do clearly
B．the trees and walls can protect us if we are outdoors
C．we should protect our necks with a pillow or a book
D．falling glass can be used to help us
（4）After an earthquake, we should ________.
A．move an injured person quickly
B．use the telephone immediately
C．turn on the TV to get news reports
D．leave a message before leaving home
【答案】（1）B
（2）D
（3）A
（4）D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了地震前、地震中和地震后人们应该做的事情。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Decide how and where your family will get together if separated.”可知，要提前确定地震后家人会合的地点，故选B。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“ If you are in a car, move to the side of the road and stop the car.”可知，如果发生地震时你在开车，要把车开到路边停下，所以选D。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“ During the earthquake, you should keep a clear head and never be too nervous to know what to do. ”可知，地震时，要保持头脑冷静，不能因为太紧张而不知所措，故选A。
（4）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“If you want to leave your home, post a message inside your home telling your family members where you can be found.”可知，地震后，在离开家之前，要留下信息告诉家人去哪里能找到你，故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解题型的考查，是一篇生活类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，结合题目要求，从而选出正确答案。

Earthquakes strike
suddenly at any time of the day or night, but there's no way to tell when. If
an earthquake happens, it may cause many deaths, injuries and damage. So you
need a good preparation ahead of time. Decide how and where your family will
get together if separated. Choose an out-of-state friend or relative that the
family members can call after the quake to report where they are and how they
are. Know the safe places in each room: under the strong tables, desks, or
against inside walls. Keep enough food, water and other things, including a
flashlight, a radio, medicines and clothing.
During the earthquake, you
should keep a clear head and never be too nervous to know what to do. Protect
your head and neck with your arms. If possible, take a book, a pillow or any
other things to protect yourself from falling glass and ruins. If you are
indoors, you must immediately lie under any strong furniture. If outdoors, move
to an open area away from trees, buildings, walls or power poles. If you are in
a narrow valley, move to the centre of it and look up for falling stones. If
you are in a car, move to the side of the road and stop the car. Do not stop
near buildings, power lines or on or under bridges. Stay in your car until the
shaking stops.
Do not move a badly
injured person unless he is in great danger after the earthquake. Do not use
the telephone immediately unless there is a serious injury or fire. Turn on
your radio for instructions and news reports. Be prepared for aftershocks. If
you want to leave your home, post a message inside your home telling your
family members where you can be found.
