25、You like rats? You must be kidding. Everyone hates rats. But rats may soon be man’s new good friend.

What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue (营救，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. “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 a scientist says, “It would be great. 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】Where do you think you can find this passage?

A．In a magazine about toys.

B．In a history book.

C．In a newspaper about science.

D．In an advertisement.

【2】In the writer’s opinion, rats may become man’s new friend because ________.

A．they can be food for people

B．they are lovely

C．they can completely replace man’s rescue jobs

D．they can help rescue people after an earthquake

【3】Which of the following is NOT true?

A．Rats don’t need electricity.

B．Rats are better than robots when smelling.

C．Rats are as clever as radios.

D．Rats can see things in the dark when doing rescues.

【4】Which is the best title of this passage?

A．Ways of saving people

B．Rats

C．Rescue dogs

D．Rats for rescue

26、   Audio Texts Signal Rise of New Literacy

Many people read physical books or e-books, but now there is a new trend—listening to audiobooks（有声读物）.

According to a recent report by the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication（CAPP）, more people are choosing to listen to audiobooks these days.

To be specific, 26 percent of adults listened to audiobooks in 2018, which was 3. 2 percentage higher than that in 2017.

Young people have been the main driver in the development of audiobooks. Some 26.2 percent of teenagers listened to audiobooks in 2018, which was 3. 5 percent higher than that in 2017.  Ximalaya noted that the value of audiobook purchases made by those aged 13 to 18 in 2018 increased by 330 percent over that of 2017, the Beijing Evening News reported.

One of the reasons that audiobooks are becoming increasingly popular is that people want to get more use out of their free time, China News Service reported. Listening to e-books frees up time for them, whether they are at the gym, on a bus, or in bed. Faster internet speeds mean that a book can be downloaded in seconds, according to Wei Yushan, director of CAPP.

Listening to audiobooks also helps with loneliness.“When I feel bored or lonely, listening to audiobooks makes me feel that there is someone accompanying（陪伴）me, ”Zhong Yan, an office worker who is obsessed with audiobooks, told the Beijing Evening News.

However, audiobooks are still far from perfect.“Listening to audiobooks doesn't make you think in the way you do when you're reading a book. It's also likely that you will miss information while you listen, ”said Zhong.

Qiang Qiang, a primary student who often listens to audiobooks, shares this perspective: " Despite（即使；尽管）its convenience, audiobooks are less detailed than physical books you read, ”he told the Beijing Evening News.

Li Yini, assistant general manager of Baicaoyuan Bookstore in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, told Jiangnan Times that people who want a book with serious content should choose a paper book or e-book, but they can choose an audiobook if the content is easy to understand.

【1】What can we learn from the first four paragraphs?

A.Audiobooks have developed quickly in recent years.

B.Audiobooks are more popular than physical books in China.

C.Ximalaya is the first choice when people listen to audiobooks.

D.About half of young people in China listened to audiobooks in 2018.

【2】According to the article, people like to listen to e-books because—·

A.they are more convenient B.they are cheaper than paper books

C.they are more relaxing than physical books D.they provide people with a better reading experience

【3】The phrase “be obsessed with" in Paragraph 6 probably means“ ___________, , .

A.be doubtful about B.be interested in

C.be careful about D.be disappointed at

【4】What can we learn from Li Yini's words?

A.Audiobooks are less detailed than physical books.

B.People should choose a book form based on its content.

C.People think differently when they listen to audiobooks.

D.Physical bookstores face a big challenge from audiobooks.

27、   Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Albans — a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admits(承认), he didnˈt work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks.

It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump (撞上)into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neural disease, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23.

At first, Hawking became very sad. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later write, “Before my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do.” Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, and had three children. He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research.

Today, Hawking still works at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, however bad their situation(处境) is, should lose hope. “Life is not fair,” he once said. “You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”
