阅读理解。    Dogs may help save the day in the Philippines, as they use their noses to smell out survivors buried by
Friday"s mudslide (泥石流). The team of dogs arrived in the Philippines from Spain, and this Tuesday they
were just beginning their work. Search officials told CNN they hoped the recent rain would wash away the
smell of rescue teams so the dogs could do their job more accurately. The dogs were brought in after sound
equipment found sounds coming from deep inside the ruins, at a place where a school stood before the
mudslide covered it. The sounds could mean people are still alive under all the mud or it could just be the earth
resettling.
    On Monday, rescue workers worked at the school site until three in the morning, trying to locate survivors,
and they will begin digging again as soon as the dogs think they find someone. Human teams from the US,
Malaysia, and Australia are all trying to help, too. But so far they have yet to locate any survivors. Rescue
workers told CNN that an earlier report that 50 survivors had been found was false.
     How did all that mud bury the village in the first place? On Friday, 2,400-foot Mt Kanabag turned into a
mudslide after two weeks of constant rain weakened it. The mountain crumbled and the mud fell onto the
village Guinsaugon, burying the 1,800 people who lived there. Out of the 300 houses in the village, only 3
were not covered by the mud. The village is on a southern Philippine Island called Levte. Rescue efforts have
been difficult because the village takes six hours to reach from the nearest airport. Hopefully, the dogs can
help their human friends find survivors. 1. According to the search officials" words in the first paragraph, we can learn that _____. [     ]
A. the smell of rescue teams can disturb the dogs
B. the dogs can follow the smell of rescue teams
C. the dogs can"t smell the rescue teams
D. the dogs can tell the differences between people and rescue teams 2. The main purpose of this passage is probably _____. [     ]
A. to show the way to rescue the victims in the ruins
B. to introduce the instruments to save victims in a disaster
C. to tell readers that dogs can smell out victims buried in the ruins
D. to show how to train dogs to save victims in a mudslide 3. How many survivors were found by the dogs? [     ]
A. 50.
B. Only a few.
C. 1,800.
D. None. 4. The reason why the rescue work wasn"t going smoothly was probably that _____. [     ]
A. the rain was heavy
B. so many people were buried
C. it was difficult to reach the village
D. these is little chance to save the survivors

阅读理解。     Few people find it easy to refuse a bargain (a product sold at lower price). But bargains are not always
what they seem. Some sales and bargains are good deals, but not all are. Here are some pointers to help you
tell the difference between real bargains and bad deals.
     Sometimes a product is on sale for "below producer"s cost". Watch out for this kind of "bargain". Why
would anyone want to sell a product for less than it cost to make it? Before buying, you should find out why
it is being sold at a loss to the producer. Is it damaged? Is it out of style? Does it come with any guarantee
(保障)?
     Another pointer is to read price tags on sale items carefully. For example, a price tag in a store may say
"regular price $16". The regular price is the price of the item before the sales started and after the sale ends.
The regular price is only for that store, however. In another store, the price could be lower.
     A price tag may also say "original (原来的) price $ 16". That means at one time the item sold for $16-even
as much as five years earlier! For example, the original price of pocket calculators was high when they were
introduced. Now the price is much lower. Showing the original price would be misleading.
     Finally, be careful how you use cents-off coupons (优惠券). A coupon can save you money only if you
intend to use the item. The price of an item may not be the same at different stores. So use the coupon at the
store with the lowest price. Don"t forget to add any sales tax to the item before you figure out the "cents-off"
price". 1. The purpose of the author to write this article is _____. [     ]
A. to show that there are no real bargains
B. to warn readers that some sales are not bargains
C. to sell a certain product
D to warn readers not to spend money on bargains 2. Which of these statements is an opinion? [     ]
A. Few people find it easy to refuse a bargain.
B. A tax adds to the price of an item.
C The regular price is the price before or after a sale.
D. The price of pocket calculators has dropped. 3. The author"s opinion of an item that sells below producer"s cost is that _____.[     ]
A. it is out of style
B. it is always a good deal
C. it has no guarantee
D. there may be something wrong with the item 4. The author suggests that cents-off coupons should be used _____. [     ]
A only for items with no tax
B. For as many items as possible
C. in stores with the lowest prices
D. only at the largest store 5. The original price would be misleading because _____. [     ]
A. there might be a sharp drop in price of the item
B. there might be a sharp drop in quality of the item
C. there might be a sharp change in the style of the item
D. there might be no use of the item now

阅读理解。    Do you know how to play a game called "Musical Chairs"? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All
you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other
musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
    Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs
in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
   The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same
direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If
the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
    The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit
on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one
chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
    At last, there will be two players and only one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops
is the winner. 1. If ten people are playing musical chairs, you must begin with _____. [     ]
