Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It’s been so long that I can’t remember the crime, but I’ll never forget the punishment: Dig up the fig tree (无花果) in the backyard and plant it at Mumsy’s place in the country. As I often did when appointed to do a hard job in the garden, I this was my parents’ way of getting me to do their dirty work.It was a Sunday morning. With some tools, I went at the tree, dismantling (拆卸) it branch by branch and limb by limb, until all that remained of the once-proud specimen was a sorry-looking stump of a thing.“What did that ever do to you?”, my father said, “You left some taproot (主根), at least. Go and load up the truck.” On any other day before, during the to mumsy’s, we would have pleasantly school as usual, but I fenced myself off that time.Then, at Mumsy’s, instead of sitting back to watch me work, he me. As my father and I took turns to work, I could feel my anger , making room for the simple satisfaction of working at my father’s side towards a common goal.“ Well,” my father said when we finished, “ we’ve done what we can do.” “Do you think there’s any that it can grow up?” I asked. “It’s rich dirt. They say you can plant toenails in it and grow little kids.” My father answered. I never tried the toenail trick, but I did watch as it settled in, took root, and began to prosper. I was amazed and when bowls of figs began to fill the fridge.In a fair world, I don’t deserve the reward. I had hurt the tree for my own complaints. What right did I have to the fruit? Years later, I put this to my father. Watching him slide a bowl of figs from the fridge one morning, I felt a sudden stab of shame for my boyhood . My father took a fig from the bowl and let me think of the fruit as forgiveness. “You,” he said, “ some of that.”【小题1】A．Convinced B．informed C．suspected D．inspected【小题2】A．truck B．tool C．tree D．taproot【小题3】A．rest B．flight C．walk D．ride【小题4】A．thought over B．talked about C．broke into D．gave up【小题5】A．Forgave B．tricked C．entertained D．joined【小题6】A．Disappeared B．Concentrated C．approached D．exposed【小题7】A．Relationship B．value C．advantage D．chance【小题8】A．confused B．relieved C．regretful D．disappointed【小题9】A．perfectly B．partly C．mostly D．probably【小题10】A．task B．answer C．question D．strategy【小题11】A．Misery B．misfortune C．sorrow D．rudeness【小题12】A．Deserve B．receive C．protect D．suspect2016高考英语完型填空We often see hitchhikers（搭便车的人）, standing by the side of the road, thumb sticking out,waiting for a lift. But it is getting nowadays. What killedhitchhiking? is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime many drivers off picking uphitchhikers. no single women picked me up on my journey toManchester reflects the safety fear: , strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.But the reason may be complex: hitchhikin g happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are . Plenty ofpeople hitchhike in Poland and Romania. Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the UK means the few people lift hitchhiking are usually considered strange. Why can’tthey cars? Why can’t they take the coach or the train?Three-quarters of the UK population have a car; many ofthe will be quite old. The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small. my trip prove s it’s still possible to hitchhike. The people who picked me up were very interesting lawyer, retired surgeon, tank commander, carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple in the mountains. My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes(家伙) in red, spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help.The future of hitchhiking most lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet, via sites such as hitchhikers. org. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out (actually, I didn’t do much of that, just to hold up my destination sign) and people—wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people—will stop.In the UK, with its cheap and reasonable rail service, I don’t think I’ll make a habit of it. But having enjoyed it so much, I’m ready now to do a bigtrip Europe and beyond. In the 1970s a female friend of my wife’s hitchhiked to India. How wonderful it would be to have another go, Afghanistan might be a challenge. I wish I’d got that tank commander’s mobile number.【小题1】A．valuable B．hardly C．rare D．little【小题2】A．Fear B．Safety C．Allowance D．Expense【小题3】A．has put B．had been put C．has been put D．have put【小题4】A．What B．Which C．Whether D．That【小题5】A．no more B．no need C．no reason D．no doubt【小题6】A．a short B．a clumsy C．a small D．a large【小题7】A．most B．more C．very D．much【小题8】A．poor B．heavy C．busy D．convenient【小题9】A．seldom B．always C．still D．never【小题10】A．afford B．offer C．affect D．offend【小题11】A．effect to B．effect on C．access in D．access to【小题12】A．remain B．rest C．pedestrians D．citizens【小题13】A．While B．When C．Yet D．Though【小题14】A．living up B．lived down C．was living up D．was living down 【小题15】A．stopping B．but stop C．stop D．stopped【小题16】A．likely B．certainly C．positively D．actively【小题17】A．pretending B．preparing C．preferring D．defending【小题18】A．vehicles B．coaches C．cars D．helicopters【小题19】A．across B．through C．for D．over【小题20】A．as B．though C．because D．when2016高考完形填空选练完型填空。

2021年新高考英语二轮复习：完型填空专项练习题3AFriday, 3 March, 1944 Dear Kitty,When I looked into the candle this evening, I felt peaceful and happy. Oma seems to be in the candle and it is Oma too who shelters and protects me and who always makes me feel happy again.But …there is someone else who governs all my feelings and that is…Peter. When I went up to get potatoes today and was standing on the stepladder with the pan, he at once asked, “What have you been doing since lunch?”I went and sat on the steps and we started talking. At a quarter past five (an hour later), the potatoes, which had been sitting on the floor in the meantime, finally reached their places.Peter didn't say another word about his parents; we just talked about books and about the past. The boy has such warmth in his eyes; I believe I'm pretty near to being in love with him. He talked about that this evening. I went into his room, after peeling the potatoes, and said that I felt so hot.“You can tell what the temperature is by Margot and me; if it's cold we are white, and if it is hot we are red in the face,” I said.“In love?” he asked.“Why should I be in love?” My answer was rather silly.“Why not?” he said，and then we had to go for supper.Would he have meant anything by that question? I finally managed to ask him today whether he didn't find my silly talk; he only said, “It's okay, I like it!”Was this answer just shyness? I am not able to tell.Kitty, I'm just like someone in love, who can only talk about her darling. And Peter really is a darling too.But I'm quite good at looking after myself, and knows that very well. And he likes his quietness, so I have no idea how much he likes me. In any case, we are getting to know each other a bit. I wish we dared to tell each other a bit.I wish we dared to tell each other much more already. Who knows, the time may come sooner than I think! I get an understanding look from him about twice a day, I smile back, and we both feel happy.I certainly seem quite crazy to be talking about him being happy, and yet I feel pretty sure that he thinks just the same as I do.Yours,Anne 1．Which of the following can replace the underlined word "govern"?A．hurt B．experience C．control D．understand2．According to the passage, what disturbed Anne most?A．Oma's shelter and protection.B．Her falling in love with Peter.C．Her work to do with the potatoes.D．Her worries to know Oma better.3．How would Anne deal with her problem?A．Wait and watch.B．Smile to her family.C．Look after Peter.D．Feel happy about herself.4．What type of writing is this text?A．Email.B．Story.C．Diary D．Notice.BZero-emission large passenger aircraft powered by hydrogen will be technically possible in five years, according to Airbus, but they will not enter service for at least a decade as the price of the fuel needs to come down.The prediction comes from Glenn Llewellyn, vice-president of zero-emissions technology at thepan-European plane-maker. He said that while Airbus planned to demonstrate hydrogen-powered aircraft in 2025, over the next 10 years, hydrogen won’t be more economical than the fossil fuel.For passengers to be flying genuinely emissions free aboard hydrogen-powered planes—which emit only water and heat — their fuel needs to come from hydrogen produced via renewable sources such as wind and solar, he added.In an interview ahead of the Bloomberg NEF London Summit, Mr. Llewellyn said, “We already see massive increases in the amount of renewable energy being produced across the world. Wind energy production has multiplied by two over the last five years and solar energy production has multiplied by four.”A further challenge is building up the ecosystem that hydrogen aircraft, along with other forms of transport, will need. This ranges from creating the fuel from electrolysis to split water into hydrogen and oxygen powered by renewable energy, to the actual transport of the gas and fueling systems for it at airports.However, Mr. Llewellyn predicted that there was enough interest in the sector to make this happen. He added, “There are a number of independent institutes that have mapped out how hydrogen costs can come down over the next decades. We see a 30pc reduction in renewable hydrogen costs in 2030 compared to where it is today, and a 50pc reduction in renewable hydrogen costs by 2050.”5．What can we know about the hydrogen-powered aircraft according to the passage?A．It will be an unrealistic dream.B．The cost of its fuel keeps rising.C．It will be accessible within a decade.D．Renewable energy makes it environmentally friendly. 6．What did Mr. Llewellyn say about renewable energy?A．It gains growing popularity throughout the world.B．More wind energy has been produced than solar energy.C．Hydrogen can only be generated from wind and solar energy.D．Hydrogen will be cheaper than fossil fuel in the coming ten years.7．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 5 refer to?A．Ecosystem B．Challenge C．Aircraft D．Prediction8．What is Mr. Llewellyn’s attitude towards the future of hydrogen-powered aircraft?A．Objective B．Optimistic.C．Doubtful.D．PessimisticC“I don’t want to sigh when I get an invitation in the mail, but I can’t help it,” Susan, aged 30, tells us. “I want to go, but how do I explain I can’t?” Weddings are supposed to be about fun and togetherness — a time to get together and celebrate a huge life milestone.However, more and more, they’ve become a source of tension and distance. When wedding season approaches and another wave of wedding invites start to roll in, many millennials are facing an uncomfortable truth – they’re just too expensive.Because it’s not just the wedding. It’s the engagement party, the gifts and the airfare in the middle of high season to a destination wedding. The average bachelor party now costs an eye-watering $1,532 and the average bachelorette party isn’t far behind at $1,106, and that’s before we even get to the wedding, which, by the way, costs the average guest $1,386. It doesn’t matter how many times the thrifty among us can restyle the same old jumpsuit because the money you’re saving isn’t going to touch your Air BNB bill.It’s no surprise that more people are saying no to wedding invitations because of the cost. And who can blame them? It’s hard to see another solution. It’s natural to want everyone you care about to be at your wedding, but it’s also understandable if you can’t afford to fly to three different weddings during six weeks.The wedding machinery shows no signs of slowing down, so all we can do is have a little more sympathy. If you’re throwing a wedding, try to be sensitive about the cost and understanding when someone just can’t make it. We have to create more socially acceptable ways of celebrating a marriage without spending a month’s salary to be there to celebrate the big day. It really should be the thought that counts.9．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A．The average bachelor.B．The expensive wedding.C．The economical people D．The saved money.10．Why do most people want to decline the wedding invitations?A．The weddings are too costly to attend.B．They don’t care about the wedding.C．They don’t have enough time to go.D．The weddings are often disappointing.11．According to the passage, what idea may the author agree with?A．People should spend a month’s salary to prepare a gift.B．When throwing a wedding, people should be thoughtful.C．A luxurious wedding contributes to a good marriage.D．Wedding invitations should go unnoticed.12．Which could be the best title of this passage?A．Weddings are about fun and togetherness.B．It is an art to say no to wedding invitations.C．Millennials are facing more and more tension.D．Wedding invitations bring joy and burden to Millennials.DSolving great space mysteryMonkey King, the hero in the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, is making headlines again. On Nov 30, China’s Dark Matter Particle Explorer(DAMPE, 暗物质粒子探测卫星), which is named after Monkey King’s Chinese name Wukong, found mysterious signals in the universe that may help scientists learn more about dark matter, according to Xinhua News Agency.“This is the first time scientists have found such detailed and precise signals, ” Chang Jin, vice director of the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国紫金山天文台), told Xinhua.Dark matter is a type of hypothetical(假设的)matter in the universe. Scientists believe that it influences the movement of galaxies. However, no one has ever directly observed it.Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky first used the term “dark matter” in 1933, when he spotted something very unusual. Some galaxies that Zwicky saw were spinning so fast that they should have scattered into all comers of the universe, but they didn’t. He realized there must have been something else there that had a strong enough gravitational pull to hold everything together. He called it“dark matter”.In one sense, dark matter is like the wind：we can’t see it, but we know it’s there.Finding out more about dark matter could help us understand how the universe began, but being able to do so isn’t easy. Scientists believe that when two dark matter particles crash together, they form new particles and produce high amounts of energy and heat. This is why explorers like Wukong are sent to find such particles.Indeed, “Wu” means “understanding” and “kong” means “void(空的). ” The nickname symbolizes the main goal of DAMPE’s mission, which is to understand dark matter better.Since its launch in 2015, DAMPE has already recorded 3. 5 billion high-energy particles, reported Newsweek. And according to Science, the satellite has a lifespan of five years, which means it still has three more years to “understand the void”. “DAMPE has opened a new window tor observing the high-energy universe, unveiling new physical phenomena beyond our current understanding, ” Chang told Xinhua.13．On Nov 30, DAMPE______________.A．was named Wukong by Chinese scientistsB．was successfully launched into spaceC．located dark matter in the universe for the first timeD．detected clear signals related to dark matter14．According to the text, dark matter________.A．is a spinning galaxyB．is a type of gravitational pullC．is made up of invisible particles that hold galaxies togetherD．makes mysterious stars scattered in the universe15．According to the text, a better understanding of dark matter could help scientists discover_____________. A．the movement of galaxiesB．the origin of the universeC．how crashes happen between dark matter particlesD．how to make use of high energy caused by crashes16．What can we learn about DAMPE from the text?A．It has recorded 35 billion high-energy particles so far.B．It will be able to keep working for another five years.C．It was made to observe and identify dark matter in the universe.D．It could help prevent dark matter particles crashing together.EMy 11-year-old daughter has been awarded an academic scholarship to a private schoo1. It’s only a small discount, but the scholarship means she’ll skip the waiting list provided my husband and I can cover$20, 000 a year.Should we pay the private school fees, or choose free education instead?I always assumed my children would go to a private school, like I did. Not because my family is wealthy, but because I believe that the best education is private.It took years for me to make peace with the fact that my two children attended our local public primary schoo1.They’ll go to a private high school, I told myself. Yet here we are. My eldest is now in her last year of primary school, and my husband and I will struggle to afford private schoo1.If we’re to send our girl to private school, I could increase my work hours. My law degree was supposed tobe my ticket to a good job and a solid income, but that’s not quite how it turned out.The guilt and expectations are mine alone. I’m terrified that my daughter’s potential will be wasted at the public schoo1. And yet, I know that working more hours will make me break down.During many sleepless nights, I felt troubled by the decision. Although I want the best for my daughter, I have my own dreams too. I can’t sacrifice everything for my precious girl. I explain that I want to be a positive role model for my daughter, and an unhappy parent is terrible strain on a family. I point out not even the privilege of private school will protect my children from disappointment or struggle.And ultimately, it’s decided. My daughter is going to the public school behind our home. She couldn’t be more pleased.It’s taken me a little longer, but now I’m content. More than my fancy private school education, it’s my family that shaped me. With high school now 25 years in the past, I can no longer remember the mathematical problems and Shakespearean quotes I once knew so perfectly. The lessons from my childhood home, however, have proved impossible to forget.17．Why did the author want her daughter to go to a private school at first?A．Her daughter earned an academic scholarship.B．She wanted her daughter to receive the best education.C．She wanted her daughter to skip the waiting list.D．Her daughter’s potential was wasted at the public primary schoo1.18．The author finally let her daughter go to a public school mainly because she realized that______________. A．private school doesn’t guarantee a solid incomeB．she didn’t want her daughter to struggle in private schoolC．however hard she worked, she couldn’t afford private schoolD．public school is the most balanced choice for her family19．When the decision was made, ___________.A．the author’s daughter was disappointedB．the author felt sorry and guilty about itC．both the author and her daughter were satisfied with the resultD．the author inspired her daughter to be a positive role model at school20．What is the main message the author intends to convey in the last paragraph?A．Family influences a child’s growth more than school education.B．The lessons learned during our childhood will stay with us forever.C．It always takes people a long time to make a fight decision.D．Private school education is not as good as people expect.FEarthworms were the beginning of a childhood dream for Jane Goodall. Her mother told a story of going to Goodall’s room when she was one and a half years old.“She’d found I’d taken a whole handful of earthworms to bed with me,” Goodall said, “and instead of getting mad, she said very quietly, ‘They’ll die if you leave them here, they need dirt.’ So together we took them back into the garden.”“I never went to university after school because we couldn’t afford it,” she said. Since college was impossible, she got a secretarial job with Louis Leakey, the famed biologist.It was in the Serengeti plains that Leakey realized Goodall was capable of much more than a secretary. “He just saw that I was very passionate about being out in the wilderness and animals and that I was a good observer,” Goodall said. “Most important of all, he could see I had patience and that I knew how to behave out in the bush even though I hadn’t grown up there.”Leakey sent Goodall to Tanzania to observe chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in the wild in hopes that their behavior could help explain his research on early humans. Goodall was met with challenges when she faced the chimpanzees. “My first encounters with the chimpanzees were disastrous because they ran away immediately at the sight of me,” Goodall said.Goodall was surprised by the chimps’love for one another and the bonds between families. She also was surprised when she witnessed one chimpanzee removing the leaves from a small branch and using it as a tool to catch ants.“At that time, we were defined as the only tool—making creature on the planet,” Goodall said. Goodall sent a telegram to Leakey, who famously replied, “Scientists are faced with two alternatives: Either accept chimpanzees as man, by definition, or else redefine man.” “There is no sharp line dividing us from the rest of the animal kingdom,” Goodall said. “It’s a very blurry (模糊的)line, and it teaches us so clearly that we are not separate from the rest of the animal kingdom, but part of it.”At 86 years old, Goodall still is educating, discovering and working to bridge the gap between man and chimpanzee.21．The story of earthworms showed Goodall’s mother knew______.A．how to raise earthworms in the garden B．how to take care of small creaturesC．how to get Goodall interested in animals D．how to give support to her daughter22．What did Louis Leakey see in Goodall?A．The talent for observing animals.B．The interest in living in the wilderness.C．The ability to hide in the bush.D．The patience to look after animals.23．Which of the following may Goodall agree with?A．Humans are completely different from animals.B．Humans are the only animals to make tools.C．Humans belong to the whole animal kingdom.D．Humans have to accept chimps as man too.24．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Goodall found interest in observing chimps.B．Goodall devoted her life to studying chimps.C．Goodall was inspired by her mother to study chimps.D．Goodall gave up college to observe animals in the wild.GWhen it comes to historical Italian coffee, you cannot help but talk of Venice. It is in this city that the tradition of coffee was born, and then spread to the rest of Italy.Caffè FlorianCaffè Florian was founded in 1720. From then on, this elegant building has been characterized by its exclusive products and guests: here, noblemen, politicians and intellectuals would meet. Today, the café is an important cultural center where exhibitions are organized. But it remains an ideal place for tourists who simply want to enjoy an espresso sitting at a little table in the heart of Venice, a few steps from the Grand Canal.Gran Caffè QuadriAlso in St. Mark’s Square, there is another historic café that since 1775 has earned an important place among the many.Gran Caffè Quadri represents the memory of centuries in the twilight(晚期) of the Republic of Venice, and the birth of the modern age, and the secrets of the famous people who sat in its halls. Even today, Gran Caffè Quadri is a favorite of actors and directors attending the Venice Film Festival.Harry’s BarMore recent, but equally fascinating, is the story of Harry’s Bar, opened in 1931 and declared a national monument in 2001. Built from an old warehouse close to Piazza San Marco, Harry’s Bar owes its name and existence to the American student Harry Pickering. This is not strictly a coffee bar, but inside intellectuals, artists,writers such as Arturo Toscanini, Guglielmo Marconi, Charlie Chaplin, all spent time.Caffè La CalcinaMoving to the southern limit of the city, in the ancient neighborhood called Le Zattere, we will find Caffè La Calcina, another important spot that was a meeting place for artists and writers in the early 1900s. The place is now a bar and restaurant called La Piscina, in memory of the bathhouse with a pool that used to be there. 25．Where would you go if you are interested in cultural evens?A．Caffè Florian.B．Gran Caffè Quadri.C．Harry’s Bar.D．Caffè La Calcina.26．Harry’s Bar was named after_________.A．Piazza San Marco B．an old warehouseC．Arturo Toscanini D．an American student27．What do the cafés have in common?A．They were popular among celebrities.B．They are on the decline nowadays.C．They are located in St.Mark’s Square.D．They were built from old houses.HHow often do you have a conversation with someone, and think you are paying attention to him or her, only to realize shortly afterwards that you can't remember what he said? Or, perhaps you get distracted while he is speaking and miss the message that he is trying to deliver. In today's busy world, modern life is full of distractions: TVs, radios, traffic noises, telephones, laptops and so on, which can make it difficult to listen with our full attention.But how can we listen more effectively? Jon kabat---zinn, professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, put forward the idea of mindful listening. He said mindfulness means paying attention in aparticular way, with a purpose, at the present moment and non-judgmentally.When we listen mindfully, we can be aware of some barriers but still remain open to the speaker's ideas and messages. Mindfulness encourages us to be aware of the present moment, let go of distractions and ignore physical and emotional reactions to what people say to us.But how can we apply mindful listening to our life? Jon Kabat-Zinn describes three key elements of mindful listening that we can use to improve our listening skills.First of all, be present. When we listen mindfully, our focus should be on the person we are listening to without distractions. Then develop empathy. We often see the world through our own experiences. When we're empathetic, we can understand a situation from someone else's point of view. At last, listen to our own “cues”. Our cues are the thoughts, feelings and physical reactions that we have when we feel anxious or angry, and they can block out ideas and perspectives that we're uncomfortable with. Mindful listening can help us to be more aware of our cues, and allow us to choose not to let them block communication.The rule is straightforward: simply “Listen”! Listen carefully and attentively. Pay full attention to the other person, and don't let other thoughts, like what we are going to say next, distract us.28．What's the function of the first paragraph?A．To introduce the topic.B．To make a conclusion.C．To criticize the distractions.D．To describe daily situations.29．What is one of the advantages of mindful listening?A．Making a judgment correctly.B．Sharing messages with the speaker.C．Stopping people's running thoughts.D．Making sure of feeling understood.30．What does the underlined word "empathy" in paragraph 5 refer to?A．The feeling of trusting others.B．The ability to understand others.C．The attitude of caring about others.D．The behavior of listening to others.31．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Applications of Mindful Listening.B．Key Elements of Mindful Listening.C．A Research on Mindful Listening.D．An Introduction of Mindful Listening.IFor the first time, a British group, PDSA, gave its Gold Medal to a rat named Magawa for its work searching out unexploded landmines （地雷）in Cambodia.Magawa was born in Tanzania, but is now based in the Cambodian city of Siem Reap. He has discovered 39 landmines and 28 pieces of unexploded ones, and helped clear more than 1.5 million square feet of land over the past four years.Over 5 million landmines have been laid in Cambodia during the civil war in the 1980s and 1990s. In Cambodia, over 19,000 people have been killed by landmines. Another 51,000 have been injured.Magawa is part of the “Hero Rat" project, which works across South East Asia and Africa, training rats to save lives by detecting landmines. Magawa started its training at the age of 10 weeks.He was trained to detect TNT, the chemical compound within explosives（炸药）.The ability to sniff （嗅）out TNT makes him much faster than any person in searching for land mines.According to Christophe Cox, co — founder and CEO of APPO, a charity that trains the rats, the creatures can screen an area of 200 square meters in half an hour. "We really trust our rats. Very often after clearing a minefield, our teams will play a game of soccer on the cleared field to assure the quality of our work. So far our trainers have never had any accidents with rats because their size and weight permits them to walk across mine fields. They also work much faster than people.Described as friendly and hardworking by Malen, a Belgian trainer, Magawa has a work-life balance that is likely the envy of many a human. When he is not in the minefield, the 2-foot-long rat likes snacking on bananas, peanuts and watermelons, and taking a spin on the running wheel.32．What is the purpose of the “Hero Rat" project?A．To show honour to the brave rats.B．To save lives by detecting landmines.C．To analyze the chemicals in the landmines.D．To help people get rid of poverty in Africa.33．Why is playing soccer on the cleared field mentioned in Paragraph 6?A．To show their trust in their rats.B．To show their life after work.C．To introduce a hobby of his group.D．To find a way to celebrate success.34．What can we infer about Magawa?A．He is trained at a Belgium training base.B．He takes no risk of setting off landmines.C．He often searches for food when he is at work.D．He brings attention to the problem of landmines.35．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Sufferings caused by landmines.B．Hero Rat project set up to train rats. C．A rat awarded for life-saving work.D．Good ways to deal with landmines.参考答案1-20 CBAA DABB CABD DCBC BDCA 21-35 DACB ADA ACBD BABC。
