题文

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.) 小题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 小题2:The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refers to(所指)  _________   A．treating wounded people. B．helping rescuers. C．smelling people among different smells. D．carry the wounded people to safety. 小题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 小题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. 小题5:After reading the passage we can know ______________________________. A．rats have taken the place of dogs in search 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 rescue

健康环保类阅读科教类阅读

考点名称：健康环保类阅读

• 健康环保类阅读：
  本类型主要是围绕饮食健康、医疗卫生及环境保护等方面选取实际的材料来设题。
  体裁有记叙文、说明文、议论文和各种应用文。

• 健康环保类阅读题答题注意事项和技巧：
  应试生态环保类题目时，在理解文章的基础上，要重点突破——归纳主旨大意技能，因为推断是以整体理解为基础的推断能力。
  1.归纳主旨大意：
  (1)寻找具体段落的中心思想的方法是：找出每小段的主题句。
  主题句通常有这样的特点：
  ①有一个话题(topic)；
  ②有阐述控制性概念，偶尔也可在一段中间；
  ③有的文章无明显主题句，主题句隐含在段意之中。这就需要读者进一步加工概括了。
  (2)寻找整篇文章的中心思想的方法建立在寻找具体段落中心的基础上的。
  应观察全文的结构安排，理解文章浓墨重笔写的“重心”，考虑文章组织材料及支撑性细节是服务于什么的，分析故事的发展结局都是围绕什么中心大意来安排的。
  (3)典型错误：
  ①忽视文章的结构；
  ②混淆了中心与支撑细节或材料的区别；
  ③忽视文章表意的倾向性；
  ④漏掉了主要的特征词。
  
  2.正确推理判断：
  推理判断试题要求考生尽量考虑文中全部信息或事实，在通篇理解文章的基础上领会作者的言外之意，并作出正确的推理和判断。
  (1)数据推断题
  解答此类题，关键是要善于捕捉有关数字的信息，然后在透彻理解原文的字面意义和题意的基础上，运用自己的数学知识，对其进行分析、推算，从而得出正确的结论。
  (2)知识推断题
  根据文章中所阐述的细节，运用基础知识进行分析、推敲，从而得出符合文章原义的结论的一种推断方法。
