题型：阅读选择题类：模拟题难易度：普通

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.)

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

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

（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.

（5）、After reading the passage we can know ______________________________.

The speech bubble* is a way to show words spoken by characters in comics* or cartoons. The birth of the speech bubble was in the seventeenth century in England. Since then, it has been used together with drawn characters. At that time, cartoonists used the speech bubble sometimes. A cartoon called Hogan's Alley began to use it all the time in 1895. In Japan, they still had to wait until the 1930s to have the speech bubble.

A speech bubble usually has two parts – the bubble and the tail. The bubble has the messages that the character wants to express. The tail helps tell who has spoken the words. So the tail is always pointed to the character. If a character can't be seen in the picture, the tail may be pointed towards the bubble itself.

There are diverse speech bubbles. One of the most common bubbles is the thought bubble. It usually shows what the character is thinking about or an idea in a cloud-shaped or square bubble. How about expressing strong feelings? The jagged edge bubble can help to show anger or excitement. But when you want to make your character express a secret or just whisper some words, a bubble with dashed lines may be the best choice. One of the funniest bubbles is the wavy bubble with a wavy tail. It sends readers the message that the character is so tired.

The speech bubble is necessary for expressing spoken dialogues. Comic artists must carefully choose and place it in order to express the proper meaning and not to puzzle the reader. The proper use helps bring characters on the paper to life, for they have a "voice".
