24、Land mines(地雷) are a serious problem in Africa. The wars ended many years ago, but millions of land mines were left behind. Every year thousands of people in Africa are hurt or killed by remaining land mines.

Some unlikely heroes are helping to solve the problem—rats! Bart Weetjens, an engineer from Belgium, came up with the idea. Bar realized that rats could use their powerful noses to find land mines so humans could safely remove them. He quit his job and began training his favourite animals as part of a program he calls HeroRATs.

HeroRATs are trained in a special school where they learn to use their noses to find land mines. First, trainers get the rats used to the human world. They let them listen to music and run around the office. The rats are taught to give a signal when they detect(探测) the smell of a land mine. When they correctly signaled that they’ve detected a land mine, they get a special treat. This reward of mashed bananas and peanuts makes them eager to do their work. Next, the rats are taught to walk on a leash at the end of a long pole. After a total of nine months of training, the rats have to pass several tests. Once the rats pass the tests, they are ready to start finding real land mines with their handlers.

Rats can safely walk on the ground where there are land mines because they weigh much less than humans. They are too light to set off the weapons. No HeroRATs has even been killed by a land mine. The rats can inspect(检查) an entire field in only an hour. When a HeroRAT finds a land mine, humans carefully remove it. Once the rats’ work is done and the land mines are removed, fields are safe. The land can be used for farming or building. Children can play there without fear.

People who work with HeroRATs are proud to help make their countries safe. These special rats are saving lives and are true heroes.

【1】What is special about the rats to find land mines?

A．Their noses.

B．Their eyes.

C．Their speed.

【2】What should the rats do before they start finding real land mines?

B．They must have bananas and peanuts.

C．They must have weeks of training.

D．They must be trained and tested.

【3】Which can best describe the work of rats finding the land mines?

A．Interesting.

B．Unusual.

C．Dangerous.

D．Quick.

【4】Why are the rats true heroes?

A．They detect land mines without any fear.

B．They can find land mines to save lives.

26、Stonehenge is an ancient circle of stones in the south of England. It was built about 5,000 years ago. Every year, it attracts thousands of tourists to enjoy its beauty. They also wonder about how and why it was built.

       There are about 80 stones and each is about five meters tall. The stones were 380 kilometers away from where they were made. The ancient people had only wooden tools. To move the stones they probably used tree trunks to roll them along. So it was a wonder to build Stonehenge. Scientists say it took millions of man-hours to move and raise the heavy stones. How did people move these huge pieces of stone from the place so far? No one knows the answer. One record said the great stones were carried to England by huge magical aliens! But we don’t know.

       Some scientists believe that Stonehenge was a temple. Some believe it was a place to bury dead people or perhaps it was used to study the stars and the sky at night. Others think it was even used to tell the time. Whatever the stones were used to do, they have always been the pride of British people.

27、That winter my father became seriously ill, and my mother and I looked after the inn (小酒馆). One January morning, the captain (船长) went out for his walk. My mother was with my father, and I was laying the table (摆放餐桌) for the captain. A tall, pale man with only three fingers on his left hand came in.

“Come here, boy,” he said. “Is this table here for my friend Bill?”

“Bill?” I asked, “This table is for the captain.”

“Has he got a scar (疤) on his right cheek (面颊)?” he asked.

“Yes,” I answered. “He went for a walk.”

When the stranger (陌生人) saw the captain returning, he hid behind the door. I knew that something was wrong and I was worried, because both men had swords (剑).

The captain was walking to his breakfast table, when the stranger said loudly, “Bill!”

The captain turned round and the colour left his face.

“Black Dog!” he gasped (倒吸一口气).

“Black Dog it is,” said the stranger, “come to see his old shipmate Bill.”

“Here I am,” said the captain. “What do you want?”

“Let’s get some rum (朗姆酒),” said Black Dog, and talked like old shipmates.

I gave them some rum and went back to work. The men’s voices soon grew louder and I heard the captain shouting.

“No, no, no!”

Both men jumped up, and they fought with each other. Black Dog ran out of the in with blood running down his shoulder. The captain stood and watched as he disappeared (消失) over the hill. Then he came back into the inn.

“Jim,” he said. “Rum!”

“Are you hurt?” I cried.

“Rum,” he repeated. “I must get away from here. Rum! Rum!”

When I came back with the rum I found the captain lying on the floor. His eyes were closed and his face was pale. But he was still alive. My mother heard the noise and came downstairs. We lifted the captain’s head. Just at that moment Dr Livesey arrived to see my father. He looked at the captain and said to my mother, “His heart can’t take much more of this. I told him drinking rum would kill him. And it nearly has.”

The captain opened his eyes and tried to sit up. “Where’s Black Dog?” he said.

“There’s no Black Dog here,” said the doctor. “Get on your feet and I’ll help you to your bed.”
