19.In a little-known part of the counter-terrorism (反恐怖主義) world,one of the most effective detection systems is a 600-pound animal that works for about 20pounds 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,and to recover worn--out torpedoes (魚雷) and testing objects used in naval (海軍的) exercises.
The U.S.Navy kept its Marine Mammal Program a secret until the 1990s,and this spring CNN became one of the first members of the media to witness firsthand how the program works.
The program trains about 75Pacific bottlenose dolphins,with natural biosonar (生物聲納) that tracks better than any manmade device; and 35California sea lions,with very good underwater eyesight.
Not only do these trained marine mammals track and save millions of dollars in U.S.military equipment,they are also helping to save lives.The Navy won't reveal whether the dolphins and sea lions have effectively stopped terrorists attempting to do harm to the U.S.
A key part of the training program is teaching these mammals how to stop potentially unfriendly swimmers.The program is also positioned to defend against swimmer terrorist attacks as well.
In the digital age,it seems that there should be more advanced approaches to guard the Navy's most expensive things.But according to Rothe,the program director,nothing in today's high-technology world can compete with these mammals'biosonar abilities."I hope that one day there is a robot or a UUV (un-manned underwater vehicle) that makes the mammal program out of date,"he said."But right now this is the best thing out there."
25.The U.S.Marine Mammal Program trained marine mammals toA.
A.stop dangerous swimmers
B.catch 20pounds of fish a day
C.destroy sea mines
D.fire torpedoes
26.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A
A.The trained dolphins are the best way of protection available to the U.S.Navy.
B.There will be dolphin-like robots in the future according to Rothe.
C.The mammal program will become useless soon.
D.Rothe has no faith in today's high technology.
27.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?D
A.Many countries have trained sea animals for counter-terrorism.
B.The Marine Mammal Program was a secret until the 1960s.
C.The trained sea animals have already stopped some terrorists.
D.The U.S.Navy has trained both dolphins and sea lions.

分析 可愛乖巧的海豚和海獅充當高效反恐先鋒,成為美國反恐大軍中的佼佼者.它們不僅可為美國海軍減少巨額損失,同時還能幫助救贖生命.

解答 25.A  26.A  27.D
25.A 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二段及第六段中的teaching these mammals how to stop potentially unfriendly swimmers可以訓練這些動物是為了阻止那些危險的游泳者,故A項正確.
26.A 推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段…nothing in today's high-technology world can compete with these mammals'biosonar abilities可知,在某種意義上講,海豚是保護美國海軍最好的方法,故答案為A
27.D 細節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第三段The program trains about 75Pacific bottlenose dolphins,with natural biosonar (生物聲納) that tracks better than any manmade device; and 35California sea lions,with very good underwater eyesight.可知,這項項目不光訓練海豚,還訓練了海獅,可知D項是正確的,故答案為D

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關系,對未說明的趨勢或結局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論,對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準確把握作者觀點.

"I'm a Theodora clown doctor.I call myself Dr Looloo.I spend two days a week in children's hospitals,making funny faces,telling jokes,and doing magic tricks.As I walk into the wards I blow bubbles,shake hands with the kids,and make up nonsense songs for those children well enough to sing.I take special balloons to make‘balloon animals'and tell funny stories about them.

At weekends I participate in events to raise money for Theodora Children's Trust.It's a charity so we are paid with the money people give.Being a clown doctor makes the worries of everyday life seem small.All in all,I feel honoured to do this job."

10.Mountain lions live in mountainous areas of the western United States.Lately,however,people have reported seeing them in quiet neighborhoods all across the country!Usually considered shy and seldom seen,these lions are becoming more noticeable.In addition,the lions appear to be moving east.They were even reported in the suburbs of Boston,Philadelphia,and Chicago.
It seems certain that these"kings of the mountains"are moving.Why?Scientists are not sure.Some think that as the mountain lion population increases in the west,younger wild cats are leaving the area.These cats are searching for new homes and new places for food.
"The young males are looking for new homes,"says Lynn Sadler,who is the director of the Mountain Lion Foundation in Sacramento,Calif."People tend to create too many barriers,such as buildings,fences,roads,and noise.As the mountain lions seek new places and food and water sources,these barriers get in their way."
The sightings have made people increasingly watchful.Sometimes the"mountain lions"that people report seeing turn out to be large dogs or even house cats.But at least a few of the meetings have been real.The building of new roads,t he growing of suburbs and the growing popularity of outdoo r activities are all increasing the chances that people in various parts of the country may meet up with a mountain lion.
Because many people are concerned about the reappearance of the American lion,an expert outlined some ways they can avoid attracting the wild cats:Never leave pets or pet food outside; properly care for farm animals; and plan public land use to enable the lions to move safely from one place to another.
"To be fair,"says the expert,"mountain lions are trying to regain their homes.They were here first.Now we need to find ways we can live together."
28.Mountain lions are moving probably becauseC.
A.the suburbs of big cities are peaceful and quiet
B.more roads are being built into the mountains
C.the number of the lions increases in the west
D.young lions are seeking new partners
29 According to the passage,it is clear thatB.
A.the reported sightings of mountain lions have not been proved
B.people walking in the country may come across a lion
C.fences have been built to protect the lions
D.mountain lions prefer populated areas
30.To avoid attracting mountain lions,people are advisedB.
A.to build more roads for the lions to move safely
B.to keep a close watch on their farm animals
C.not to stay outdoors
D.not to raise pets
31.Which is the best title for the passage?A
A.Mountain Lions in Unlikely Places
B.Measures Taken to Avoid Lions
C.Number of Sightings Going Up
D.Mountain Lions Moving West、
