Reading Comprehension

  In a little-known part of the counter-terrorism world, one of the most effective detection systems is a 600-pound animal that works for about 20 pounds of fish a day.

  Since the 1960s, the United States and a handful of other countries have trained dolphins and sea lions to detect sea mines and swimmers, to recover inert torpedoes and to test objects used in Naval exercises.

  Program officials estimate that the sea lions in the Marine Mammal Program have recovered millions of dollars of U.S.Naval torpedoes and instrumentation dropped on the sea floor.

  The U.S.Navy kept its Marine Mammal Program a secret until the 1990s, and this spring CNN became one of only a handful of media outlets to see firsthand how the program works.

  The program has trained about 75 Pacific bottlenose dolphins, with natural biosonar(生物声纳)that tracks better than any manmade device; and 35 California sea lions, with superb underwater eyesight.

  Not only do these trained marine mammals track and retrieve millions of dollars in U.S.military equipment, they are also helping to save lives.

  The Navy won't disclose whether the dolphins and sea lions have effectively intercepted terrorists attempting to do harm to any U.S.facilities.

  "Either way, it serves as a deterrent effect." says Christian Harris, operations supervisor for the program.The mammals can be deployed via C-130 cargo aircraft to perform their missions anywhere in the world within 72 hours.They have been used in exercises from Alaska to Hawaii, operating in great temperature and environmental ranges.They also have the capability to operate off vessels.

  Dolphins most recently were deployed in the Iraq war, performing mine detection and clearance operations in the Persian Gulf to ensure safe passage for humanitarian ships delivering aid.Some of these Iraq war "veterans" are now back home, tasked with a new mission:guarding nuclear submarines in their homeports of Bremerton, Washington, and Groton, Connecticut.

(1)

Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the text?

[  ]

Now the U.S.Naval has about 75 Pacific bottlenose dolphins and 35 California sea lions

on active service.

B.

C.

The U.S.Naval trains these marine mammals from Alaska to Hawaii.

D.

The dolphins were sent in the Iraq war to protect the humanitarian ships delivering aid.

(2)

The underlined word "retrieve" in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by ________.

[  ]

A.

find out

B.

recover

C.

save

D.

detect

(3)

Which is NOT the purpose of the Marine Mammal Program?

[  ]

A.

To detect sea mines and swimmers.

B.

To save lives of people.

C.

To recover inert torpedoes.

D.

To help the U.S.Naval test equipment.

(4)

What can be inferred according to the text?

[  ]

A.

These trained marine mammals eat pounds of fish a day.

B.

The U.S.Navy performed the Marine Mammal Program for about 30 years secretly.

C.

These mammals can carry out a task everywhere.

A lot of countries will train dolphins and sea lions for anti-terrorism.

  Alaska, which was called Russian America before it was sold to the United States, joined the Unions as the forty-ninth state in 1959 .

  Alaska is now the largest of all the 50 states of the U.S.A. It was in 1867 that President A. Johnson's Secretary of State (国务卿) , Seward , bought Alaska from the Russians at a cost of 72million. The buying of the huge northern land seemed at first something foolishly done. Not only was Alaska difficult to reach, but it was also hard to live in and it appeared to have no importance in time of war. Besides, there are volcanoes (火山) there as Alaska lies on the Pacific “ring of fire”. In Alaska large treeless areas are covered. with snow all the year. For these reasons the buying of Alaska was called “Seward's Folly (愚蠢) ”at that time.

  However, in 1886, gold was found in Alaska, and people poured into this land. Since then other important natural resources were discovered, including oil. But most people visit Alaska in order to see the endless beauty of nature that northern land shows to them. For example, there are about 11,000 islands in Alaska. And in a certain area of Alaska the sun does not set for eighty - two days every year.

The   original(最初) chocolate drink was made from the seeds of a certain   kind of tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to   the rest of the World during the 1500's, and although it was very   expensive, it quickly became popular.

       There are many other foods that have traveled from South America   to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction.Brazil   (巴西)is now the world's largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an   important crop in many other countries of South America.

Writing

Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO

MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

  A bicycle helmet is a helmet intended to be worn while riding a bicycle.They are designed to reduce impacts to the skull of a cyclist in falls.However, there is a debate on whether helmets are useful for road cyclists.

  The World Health Organization promote the use of helmets as a strategy for preventing people' s heads from being injured by bicycle crashes or falls.Use of cycling helmets is supported by numerous groups in the United States.U.S.-based cycling activist John Forester suggests that helmet wearing could prevent 300 deaths a year in the U.S.out of a total of 1530 preventable deaths.Public Health Law Research reports that there is enough evidence to establish that bicycle helmet laws are an effective public health intervention(干涉)aimed to reduce the number of head-related deaths.Received opinion in some countries is that bicycle helmets are useful and that every cyclist should wear one.Professional bodies elsewhere have agreed, such as the Swiss Council for Accident Prevention.

  Mayer Hillman, a transport and road safety analyst from the UK, does not support the use of helmets, reasoning that they are of very limited value in the event of a collision with a car.He compares it to drawing conclusions on whether it is worthwhile to buy lottery tickets.Cyclists' representative groups complain that focus on helmets diverts attention from other issues which are much more important for improving bicycle safety, such as road danger reduction.The UK's largest cyclists' organization, the CTC, believes that the "overall health effects of compulsory helmets are negative." The same report estimated that universal helmet use would save the life of one child aged 0 to 15 each year.

  Up to now, the debate is with no consensus, but an organization has published a review of studies in 2011, saying there is a good deal of evidence that those wearing a helmet are more likely to crash than bareheaded cyclists.
