25、   

A 80-year-old tortoise (乌龟) is going twice its usual speed after being equipped (装备) with a set of wheels(轮子). The animal, called Mrs. T, was facing a terrible future after losing her two front legs in a mouse attack while she was sleeping in winter, but her owners glued the wheels onto her shell (外壳).

"She's going double the speed she used to," said the owner Jude Ryder, "She uses her back legs to push herself along and seems quite happy."

The 58-year-old owner was surprised when she went to check on her loved pet last month and found her front legs had been eaten in the mouse attack. The local animal doctor tried his best to save Mrs. T. But he was afraid that the tortoise would not survive without being mobile. After paying £1,000 for the treatment, Mrs. Ryder turned to her son Dale for help. Dale designed the front wheels and used resin (树脂) to add them to the front of the shell. Mrs Ryder said: "She liked them immediately, but she must learn how to turn and stop. She can get a good speed up, much faster than before. Mrs. T is still quite young for a tortoise. She could go on for another 60 years. All she needs is a new set of tyres (轮胎) sometimes."

When Mrs. T was sixty years old, she was bought as a pet for Dale, an 8-year-old boy. It liked running happily in Mrs Ryder's garden in spring and summer. When winter came, Mrs. T slept in the garden shelter. A mouse got in last month and chewed (咬) off both her front legs. Mrs Ryder said: "We were afraid she would be sure to die, but her new set of wheels have saved her life. She can run in the garden again and we can always find her because she leaves very strange footprints behind wherever she goes. "

Mice attacking tortoises is not uncommon around us-in 2013 Britain's oldest tortoise died after a mouse attack. The tortoise called Thomas was 130 when he was bitten at his home in Guernsey. He spent five days on strong antibiotics (抗生素), but the wound became so infected (被感染的) that his owner had no choice but to have him put to sleep.

【1】Why did Mrs. T lose two of his legs?

A．Because Mrs. T was terribly ill.

B．Because she was bitten by a mouse.

C．Because Mrs. T was too old.

D．Because she attacked a mouse.

【2】After being equipped with a set of wheels, Mrs. T can move by using ________.

A．her back legs to push herself

B．her front legs to pull herself

C．her back wheels to pull herself

D．her front wheels to push herself

【3】According to the passage, Mrs Ryder's son is about ________ now.

A．8 years old

B．28 years old

C．38 years old

D．58 years old

【4】Which of the following shows the right order of the story?

a. A mouse attack happened to Mrs. T.

b. Dale designed two wheels for Mrs. T.

c. Mrs. T learned how to turn and stop with equipped wheels.

d. The local animal doctor tried his best to treat Mrs. T.

e. Mrs. T was bought as a pet for Dale when she was sixty.

A．e-a-b-c-d

B．a-b-c-d-e

C．e-a-d-b-c

D．a-e-b-c-d

27、The first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang, completed a huge number of projects during his rule. Between 221 and 210 B.C., he started the building of the Great Wall. The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life-sized terracotta soldiers (士兵). These, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death.

Lost in Time

The soldiers in Xi’an’s terracotta museum are today light brown, but they weren’t always. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the colors did not last to the present day. After being exposed (暴露) to air during digging, the coating under the paint began to fall off. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking away with it important pieces of history.

New Technology

Now new technology is starting to show the army’s true colors. Archeologists (考古学家) have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers. Many of these still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes. Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid (液体) to help save the soldiers’ colors. After finding a soldier or another art piece, archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.

Back to Life

Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt (涂层) around the soldiers. It’s important not to do anything with the dirt, so the colors won’t be lost. “We are treating the dirt as an art piece,” says Rong Bo, the museum’s leading archeologist. The next challenge, says Rong Bo, is to find a way to use the colors onto the army again. Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin’s army back to its full, bright colors.

【1】Qin Shihuang hoped that the terracotta army would ________.

A．protect his tomb

B．protect his nation

C．protect the Great Wall

D．protect his people

【2】What does the underlined word “They” in the passage refer to?

A．Archeologists.

B．Artists.

C．Researchers.

D．Soldier.

【3】According to Rong Bo, we can infer that ________.

A．the soldiers should stay in their present, brown color

B．archeologists can only guess at the soldiers’ true colors

C．people should try to bring back the army’s bright colors

D．artists should be able to paint the soldiers in colors they want

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．How to color the terracotta soldiers.

B．The death of Emperor Qin Shihuang.

C．The true colors of the terracotta soldiers.

D．How the soldiers lived during Qin Dynasty.
