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 Linter at Cornell UniversityNew York says, "Robots* noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that. Rais 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, “h would be wonderful. A rat couid get into spaces wc couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't sate." 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).28. In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become man's best friends because they can.A. take the place of man's rescue jobsB. find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildingsC. serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildingsD. get into small spaces29. From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by.A. the noise made by the ratB. the rat's unusual behaviorC. the signal sent by the radio on the rat's backD. the smell given off by the person30. In doing rescue jobs,.A. rats smell better than dogsB. dogs don't need to be trained to smell peopleC. robots' sense of smell can be affected by other smells aroundD. rats and robots can't see in the dark without electricity31. According to the passage, the “rat project" means to.A. use the dog to save lives after an earthquakeB. use ihe rat to save lives after an earthquakeC. use the rat to feel the coming earthquakeD. use the robot to save lives after an earthquakeDIn school, we' re taught word repetition is bad and that we shouldn't use the same word over and over again in the same piece. It gives the impression that we have a severely limited vocabulary.Later on. however, we' re sometimes told that it's better to use the same word repeatedly. With dialogue, some novel-writing professors recommend using "said" with each comment instead of replacing it with synonyms (同义词) (whispered, responded, etc.) . Word repetition is also an emotional appeal strategy for speeches and sales, because people remember and respond to things they hear multiple times.So which way is right?The answer is, "It depcnds. If you're writing fbr school, it's not a very good idea to use the same word constantly. If you're writing dialogue that you want to keep moving at a fast pace, using mostly "said" can help do that because "he said" and "she said" more or less fade into the background. They don't take much time or attention for the readers, so they can skip over and focus on the dialogue. However, this isn't a hard-and-fast rule. You might rely on "said" fbr one scene and mix in a bunch of synonyms for another.Repeating a word can also provide emphasis, and it's really good for sales. Think about commercials and how they re-use specific words to make sure that those words stick in your memories. The trick to this method, however, is that you have to make sure other words aren't repeating the same way. Otherwise, the repetition loses its power.In the end. it comes down to personal taste and the effect you' re trying to achieve. As Shakespeare said, "there is nothing either gcxxl or bad, but thinking makes it so." You may need lo repeat Ihc same word every time. You may need to mix it up with synonyms. You may need to do both at the same time for different ideas. And the decision may change completely by what you're【rying to do.32. Why should you avoid repetition in your school essay?A. Teachers thinks less of your vocabulary.B. It would get readers angry if you did that.C. Essays are graded by your vocabulary.D. Readers hate Lo read simple words over again.33. What effect does using "said" repeatedly in dialogues have?A. Limiting the writing speed.B. Speeding up the reading process.C. Putting more emphases on backgrounds.D. Highlighting the writer's vocabulary.34. How should word repetition be used in commercials?A. Word repetition should be kept from being used in any way.B. The more word repetitions, the better effect they have.C. Make sure that each word is repeated in （he same way.D. Repeal specific words but do the rest in another way.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. What ElTect Can Repelilion Have on Novels?B. Why does Poetry Use Repetitions?C. Is Word Repetition Good or Bad?D. How Is Word Repetition Used in Ads?第二节（共5小题;年小题1.5分，总分值7.5分）根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，其中有两项为多余选项。Facing the Enemies WithinWe are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear.
