Passage TwoWe all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down" time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance, includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.40. Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__

4.We had borrowed two VCDs,but didn’t have time to watch ________of them.

5.Train companies in Tokyo are taking action to reduce the number of people jumping in front of trains．They are fitting blue lights on station platforms to try and create a more calming atmosphere．The East Japan Railway Company has invested almost $170,000 to install the lights in all of the 29 stations on the capital's busy Yamanote Line．There has been an alarming rise in the number of people committing suicide at train stations．A total of 68 people threw themselves under trains in the year up to March．This compares with 42 suicides in the same period a year earlier．In 2008, Japan had nearly 2,000 suicides by jumping in front of a train; around six percent of all suicides nationwide．Suicides have risen sharply in the past decade due to poor economic conditions. 　　No one knows if the blue lights will work．There is no evidence to show that blue light reduces suicidal feelings． Keihan Railway spokesman Osamu Okawa stated: "We thought we had to do something to save lives．We know there is no scientific proof that blue lights deter suicides, but if blue has a soothing effect on the mind, we want to try it to save lives." The Associated Press news agency reports on a Japanese therapist called Mizuki 　　　Takahashi．She explained her reasons why the blue lights might be a good idea: "We associate the color with the sky and the sea．It has a calming effect on agitated people, or people obsessed with one particular thing, which in this case is committing suicide," she said．Other companies are watching this experiment with interest.[单选题] A Japanese therapist explained that __．

8.Passage OneOceanography has been defined as "The application of all sciences to the study of the sea.Before the nineteenth century scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question"What is at the bottom of the oceans?" had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineer had to know the depth profile (起伏形状) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (测水深) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in deeper parts of the sea.Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition ( 考察), which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.It was__________that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.

9.根据以下资料，回答50-53题。 　　Years ago, a cigarette commercial asked if you were smoking more, but enjoying it less．That describes the way many of us live today．We are doing more, but enjoying it less．And when that doesn't work, we get the problem．In our extremely hurried search for satisfaction, we try stuffing still more into our days, never realizing that we are taking the wrong approach. 　　The truth is simple; so simple it is hard to believe．Satisfaction lies with less, not with more．Yet, we pursue the myth that this thing, or that activity, will somehow provide the satisfaction we so desperately seek. 　　Arthur Lindman, in his very effective book, "The Harried Leisure Class," described the uselessness of pursuing more．His research focused on what people did with their leisure time．He found that as income rose, people bought more things to occupy their leisure time．But, ironically, the more things they bought, the less they valued any one of them．Carried to an extreme, he predicted massive boredom in the midst of tremendous variety．That was more than twenty years ago, and his prediction seems more accurate every year. Lindman of course, is not the first to discover this．The writer of Ecclesiastes expressed the same thought thousands of years ago．It is better, he wrote, to have less, but enjoy it more. 　　If you would like to enjoy life more, I challenge you to experiment with me．How could you simplify your life? What could you drop? What could you do without? What could you stop pursuing? What few things could you concentrate on? 　　The more I learn, the more I realize that fullness of life does not depend on things．The more I give up, the more I seem to gain．But words will never convince you．You must try it for yourself．50 Arthur Lindman wrote __.
