Questions24to27are based on the following passage.
Humans have long turned to the dog for its nose,especially in its ability to hunt,track missing people,and search for drugs-But there is a new challenge：Bomb-detecting dogs now have to learn to find the increasingly common Improvised Explosive Devices(IEDs)(临时组装的）that can be assembled from materials not dangerous by themselves.“So we’re now asking dogs not just to fin
d a needle in a haystack(干草堆）一now the problem is more like saying to the dog we need you to find any sharp object in the haystack,”says Clive Wynne，a professor at Arizona State University.
Wynne directs the study that develops methods to train dogs to identify a wide variety of ingredients that could be used to make bombs.The dogs not only have to detect whether explosive materials are present,they also have to determine if the chemicals they smell could combine to form an explosive mixture.The dogs need to learn that when combined with other elements,even sugar could be used in a bomb.“we want the dogs to grasp the concept of‘this might explode’”.
Wynne says the big problem is that IEDs are just that---improvised and completely unsteady.A dog’s nose can be over a thousand times more powerful than a human’s nose.Some agencies spent billions of dollars over the last15years trying to create a technical replacement for the nose of the dog,and at the end of all that they just had to admit“No,we cannot get close”.Wynne thinks his team can develop bomb sniffing(嗅，闻）dogs that can detect IEDs at a small part of that price.All it takes is patience.
24.According to the passage，the new task of bomb-detecting dogs is to learn______.
< detect materials that can be used to make bombs
< recognize materials that look like bombs
< search for various needles in a haystack
< identify drugs in a large pile of materials
25.The word“ingredients”（Line2，Para.2)is closest in meaning to_______.
B.dangers
C.chances
D.elements
26.According to the passage，a dog’s nose______?
A.Can’t be improved
B.is not replaceable
C.can be as powerful as a human nose
D.is equal to a technical machine
replaceable
27.Why is it difficult to train dogs to detect IEDs,according to Wynne?
A.Dogs are unwilling to sniff IEDs.
B.IEDs can be replaced by other things.
C.It’s too expensive to get dogs trained
D.IEDs can be made from various materials.
Questions28to31are based on the following passage.
Food writer Bee Wilson has a message of hope for parents struggling to get their children to eat vegetables:“As parents,we have a far greater power than we think we have to form children’s tastes,”says Wilson.
In her new book,First Bite,Wilson examines how genetics(遗传),culture,memory and early feeding pa
tterns contribute to our food preferences.She says that a child’s ability to judge good food can be formed even before birth.And this insight can be helpful for parents who want their children to eat well and healthfully.
“One of the main things we know about taste is that liking is a consequence of familiarity，so the things that our mothers eat，even before we’re born，affect the way we'll respond to those flavors.When we later encounter them,they seem familiar.“There have been remarkable studies done showing that if someone eats a lot of garlic when she's pregnant,the baby will grow up to love garlic.
Wilson,a mother of three,notes that babies are most open to trying new flavors between the ages of four and seven months.But,Wilson adds,even if parents miss introducing a food during the so-called“flavor window”，all hope is not lost.
“It not that the flavor window is shut and we can never learn to love bitter green vegetables.Humans can learn to love new flavors at any age,”Wilson says.“One of the amazing things about our relationship with food is how malleable(可塑的）it is.But we don't usually as adults give ourselves an opportunity to change.”
28.According to Bee Wilson，a child’s food tastes________.
A.can't be changed by anyone
B.can be influenced by parents
C.will not develop even if he eats a lot of vegetables
D.will stay the same even if he eats well and healthfully
29.The word“preferences”（Line2，Para.2)is closest in meaning to_____.
A.ability
B.flavor
C.liking
D.taste
30.Which life period of a baby is referred to as the flavor window?
A.The time between4and7months of age.
B.The period before a baby is3years old.
C.The days when a baby tries new flavors.
D.The months when a baby eats vegetables.
31.What can we conclude from the passage?
A.We can never learn to love bitter green vegetables.
B.We can always change our food tastes if we choose to.
C.When the flavor window is shut,our food taste is formed.
D.Parents often miss the chance to introduce foods to kids.
Questions32to35are based on the following passage.
Earth Day was the brainchild of Gaylord Nelson,a United States Senator from Wisconsin.After seeing the environmental destruction caused by the1969oil spill in Santa Barbara,California,Nelson wanted to find a way to raise public consciousness of the need for greater environmental protections.
