I seem to be the only one rushing to leave to get to my next appointment.

The dogs not only have to detect whether explosive materials are present, they also have to determine if the chemicals they smell could combine to form an explosive mixture. The dogs need to learn that when combined with other elements, even sugar could be used in a bomb. “we want the dogs to grasp the concept of this might explode”.Wynne says the big problem is that IEDs are just that-improvised and completely unsteady. A dogs nose can be over a thousand times more powerful than a humans nose. Some agencies spent billions of dollars over the last 15 years trying to create a technical replacement for the nose of the dog, and at the end of all that they just had to admit “No, we cannot get close”. Wynne thinks his team can develop bomb sniffing (嗅，闻）dogs that can detect IEDs at a small part of that price. All it takes is patience.24.According to the passage，the new task of bomb-detecting dogs is to learn_.A. to detect materials that can be used to make bombsB. to recognize materials that look like bombsC. to search for various needles in a haystackD. to identify drugs in a large pile of materials25.The word “ingredients”（Line 2，Para. 2) is closest in meaning to_.A. methodsB. dangersC. chancesD. elements26. According to the passage，a dogs nose_?A. Cant be improvedB. is not replaceableC. can be as powerful as a human noseD. is equal to a technical machine27. Why is it difficult to train dogs to detect IEDs, according to Wynne?A. Dogs are unwilling to sniff IEDs.B. IEDs can be replaced by other things.C. Its too expensive to get dogs trainedD. IEDs can be made from various materials.Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.Food writer Bee Wilson has a message of hope for parents struggling to get their children to eat vegetables: “As parents, we have a far greater power than we think we have to form childrens tastes,” says Wilson.In her new book, First Bite , Wilson examines how genetics(遗传), culture, memory and early feeding patterns contribute to our food preferences. She says that a childs ability to judge good food can be formed even before birth. And this insight can be helpful for parents who want their children to eat well and healthfully.“One of the main things we know about taste is that liking is a consequence of familiarity，so the things that our mothers eat，even before were born，affect the way we'll respond to those flavors. When we later encounter them, they seem familiar. “There have been remarkable studies done showing that if someone eats a lot of garlic when she's pregnant, the baby will grow up to love garlic.Wilson, a mother of three, notes that babies are most open to trying new flavors between the ages of four and seven months. But, Wilson adds, even if parents miss introducing a food during the so-called “flavor window”，all hope is not lost.“It not that the flavor window is shut and we can never learn to love bitter green vegetables. Humans can learn to love new flavors at any age,” Wilson says. “One of the amazing things about our relationship with food is how malleable (可塑的）it is. But we don't usually as adults give ourselves an opportunity to change.”28.According to Bee Wilson，a childs food tastes_.A.can't be changed by anyoneB.can be influenced by parentsC.will not develop even if he eats a lot of vegetablesD.will stay the same even if he eats well and healthfully29.The word “preferences”（Line 2，Para. 2) is closest in meaning to_.A.abilityB. flavorC. likingD. taste30.Which life period of a baby is referred to as the flavor window?A. The time between 4 and 7 months of age.B. The period before a baby is 3 years old.C. The days when a baby tries new flavors.D. The months when a baby eats vegetables.31.What can we conclude from the passage?A. We can never learn to love bitter green vegetables.B. We can always change our food tastes if we choose to.C. When the flavor window is shut, our food taste is formed.D. Parents often miss the chance to introduce foods to kids.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.Earth Day was the brainchild of Gaylord Nelson, a United States Senator from Wisconsin. After seeing the environmental destruction caused by the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara, California, Nelson wanted to find a way to raise public consciousness of the need for greater environmental protections.The result was the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970. On that day, over 20 million Americans took part in a variety of rallies(集会），meetings，demonstrations and activities， all targeted at highlighting the need for protecting Earth and our environment for future generations. Thousands of colleges and universities also participated. Members of different groups learned they shared common values.Earth Day was a tremendous success. It has now become a global phenomenon. In 1990，for example, over 200 million people in 141 countries were organized to bring environmental issues, especially recycling, to the forefront of global consciousness. Today, Earth Day campaigns continue to publicize important environmental issues, such as global warming, dean energy, and recycling.If youre wondering what you can do to make Earth a better place，participating inEarth Day activities is a great place to start- By attending a rally，meeting, or demon-station, you can learn about the environmental problems facing our planet. To really make a difference, though, you need to turn the knowledge you gain into action. Volunteering for an environmental group or helping to organize an Earth Day event to educate others is one way to make a difference. More importantly, however, you can make changes in your daily life. Here are a few suggestions：Conserve energy and natural resources! Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Take shorter showers. Turn down the thermostat(恒温器）in winter and turn it up during the summer.Plant a tree! Trees produce oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the air. They willbenefit you and future generations.Reduce, reuse, and recycle! The amount of trash humans produce increases each year.Do your part by reducing the amount of stuff you buy，reusing the stuff you already have, and recycling as much as possible.32.
