When I was seven years old, my mom was diagnosed（诊断）with cancer. The doctors told us my mom
might be saved with operation. But it could also kill her. She chose to have it.
The day before the operation I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I
loved at seven and everything that would put a smile on my face. The day began with her waking me up saying,
“Kate, I have a surprise for you. Come and see.” The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time.
Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good
person; she told me to be the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. We had a picnic in the park,
and it was so cold that we moved to the car. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I

There are about 80,000,000 mines (地雷) under the ground in more than 60 countries. It is difficult and
dangerous to clear these mines. About 50 people including many children were killed or hurt each day. In 2003,
APOPO, a Dutch research company that trains the animals, came up with the idea of using rats to search for the
mines.
The animal trainers found that a kind of rats from Africa were clever and had a sharp sense of smell. The rats
were about 75 cm long and weighed about 1.35kg, light enough to run across a minefield without setting off the
mines.
In January 2004, the APOPO started this project. First, the trainers let the 4-week-old baby rats get familiar
with humans. A few weeks later, the rats were not afraid of people and the things around them anymore. Then they
were trained to connect a click sound with food. After the rats had learned that, the trainers then taught them to tell
the difference between the smell of mines and other smells. When the rats could do it, the click was sounded and
they were given a bit of banana. The method was called clicker training. "The training isn't easy," said trainer
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Abdullah Mchomvu. "You have to be patient. Sometimes I get angry, but then again, I tell myself these are
animals".
After nine months' training, the rats were taken to a minefield. They ran across the minefield, stopped, sat and
searched the ground to tell the domineers (排雷员) that they smelt out a mine. Then the mine was cleared. It had
taken two domineers a day to clear a 200 ㎡ minefield, but with the help of two rats they could finish it in two
hours.
The rats and the domineers saved thousands of lives, "The rats did this job much better than we expected. So
far they have helped to make almost 2,000,000 ㎡of land safe. "They are heroes". Said Bart Weetjens, the head of
the APOPO.
41. While training the rats, the trainers have to be ________.
A. clever B. patient C. brave D. serious
42. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Each day about 50 children were killed or hurt by mines.
B. The APOPO started to train the rats in January 2004.
C. The trainers gave the rats food after they smelt out a mine.
D. The rats and the domineers saved thousands of lives.
43. What does the passage mainly tell us about?
A. Mines are all over the world and very dangerous.
B. Rats are very clever and useful.
.
C People can train the rats to help them clear mines.
D. It is very difficult for people to find out the mines.
(D)
There are several kinds of distances people keep. Dr. Hall names them intimate, personal, social, and public.
Intimate distance is being very close to another, as in a family. Personal distance might be the kind people put
between themselves at a party. Social distance is more businesslike and formal. Public distance is used by actors,
politicians, and leaders before a large group.
Scientists are trying to find out how people use these different distances. They want to discover why, when,
and where people allow closeness or use space to protect themselves from others. Since proxemics (距离效应学) is
a new science, there aren't many conclusions about the meaning of spaces separating people. But you can make
some general observations (观察) on your own. Take note how you use space on different situations. What message
do you get from other people as they move close to you or away from you? Does distance give you a feeling that
学科网（北京）股份有限公司you are being ignored (忽视)? When do you feel crowded?
Standing in line at a shop counter, you can learn about space. People keep just enough distance between each
other so that they don't invade (侵犯) each other's area. If you should move in on another person's area, you would
soon know it. That person would become nervous or turn around to show you the angry expression on his or her
face. Or that person might simply tell you, "Please step back. I'm too crowded."
School is a good place to study how space is used and how people mark their own area. At school you
probably have a desk or part of a table to call your own. How do you feel when you find someone sitting at your
desk or covering your table with papers and books? Maybe you want to protect your area. You might tell the other
person that it belongs to you. Then you might move his or her things aside. You might even ask that person to leave
your area.
Whether people are close together or far from each other, space can tell you indeed. The most important thing
in space dialogue is whether people respect one another's areas. Invading other people's space might mean trouble.
44. From the passage we can learn that _______.
A. close distance can make you feel comfortable
B. personal distance is between family members
C. close or not, there is distance between people
D. one must keep enough distance from others
45. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. You must protect your area from others' invading it.
B. Space among people is something important for us.
C. Scientists are studying why there are kinds of spaces.
D. Distance can tell the relationship between people.
46. What does the last sentence "Please step back. I'm too crowded" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Go away or I am leaving. B. You're standing too close to me.
C. Come and see I am here. D. You take all my area as yours.
47. The best title of the passage probably is ________.
A. Space does speak indeed B. How interesting space is!
C. Space can be everywhere D. One should own his space
五、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。
A wise teacher once told me that every teenager needs to experience a not-so-fun first job from working at a
grocery store to the fast food industry.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Now I still remember my first day at a fast food restaurant three years ago. I wanted to save up money and buy
,
my own car so I looked for work everywhere I could that summer. The restaurant called me right away and I
thought to myself, this is going to be easy. Within four hours of my first shift (轮班), I had angry customers who
complained how slow I was. I watched in fear as a kid spilled his milk everywhere, and I heard the words that no
16-year-old boy or anyone for that matter wants to hear: "Mike, there's a problem in the men's bathroom and you
might want gloves for this one." I realized right away that working at the restaurant was not going to be a picnic.
The manager expected a clean environment and fast service with a friendly smile.
Over three years later I still work at that restaurant whenever I go home during vacations. I love my co-
workers there and all the customers know who I am. Every morning the same senior citizens come in and get their
morning coffees. They chat with us workers and joke around. Our smiles have just as much to do with them making
us a part of their everyday lives as the coffee does.
From my first job at the restaurant, I learned teamwork and devotion. I also learned staying positive no matter
how rough things seem to get. I will forever carry the experience that I gained at the restaurant with me as I go
forward in my life.
