14. 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容判断句子正误。
We hear quite a lot of stories about how people like police and doctors do their jobs well and save others ' lives. But in fact, some special animals also do their part in helping humans.
Magawa is a mouse. But he is not like any other dirty mouse we see in the cities.
From Africa, Magawa gets training(训练) about how to find landmines(地雷). You may wonder how a small mouse can help do such a difficult and dangerous job. Well, Magawa has a great nose. So, he can smell the landmines. And because he is far less heavy than humans, the landmines won't work when Magawa stands on them. Every time Magawa finishes his work, he will get a banana as a prize.
Before Magawa stopped working as a "landmine mouse", he successfully helped people find more landmines than other mice did. His work also helped people save quite a lot of money. This is another reason that Magawa can be chosen.
To show people's thanks for Magawa, PDSA, a charity organization(慈善组织) from the UK, gave him a gold medal. Though there're lots of mice doing similar work, Magawa is the only one getting the medal.
(1)、The Chinese meaning of the underlined word "smell" may be " 闻到" .(2)、There are many other mice finding landmines like Magawa.(3)、We can only know two reasons why people trained Magawa to find landmines.(4)、PDSA trains animals to do special jobs for humans.(5)、The passage mainly talks about how some animals are different from humans.五、阅读下面两篇短文,根据短文内容选择正确答案。(共10小题;每小题2分,计 20分)

24. 补全短文。根据短文内容,从短文后的 A~F 选项中,选出5个适当的选项补全短文。
Natural disasters (自然灾害) are terrible events. It is difficult for both adults and children to face them. Talking cannot stop natural disasters from happening. But talking can help children feel less afraid of the future. Here are some things adults can do.
Ask children to talk about their fears (恐惧). Sometimes, the best thing an adult can do is just listen. When adults know their children's fears, they can help them.
Let children ask questions. If adults do not know the answers, they can try to find them together with children on the Internet. And then children can learn a lot, and feel less afraid.
There are many ways to do this. One way is very simple: adults can tell children that they love them, and will always stay with them when natural disasters come.
Some children don't like talking with adults face to face, so adults should try to find other ways. They can ask children to write letters or send messages to them.
A. Help children feel safe.
B. When answering questions, it is best to give short answers.
C. When children can talk about what they are afraid of, they'll feel better.
D. Use other ways to help children show their fears.
E. But adults should not be afraid to talk to children about natural disasters.
F. Adults should often read books about natural disasters with their children.
25. 完成图表。根据短文内容,完成图表中所缺的信息。We throw away (丢弃) many things every day, though some of them can get a new life after a simple repair (修理). The problem is that lots of people no longer know how. It's a skill quickly lost.
Repair Cafés can make a difference to all that! They are free meeting places for people to repair things together. In the café, there are many tools (工具) to help visitors repair clothes, bikes, cars and so on. There are also some people helping with people's repair work. If people have nothing to repair, they can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. Or they can give other people a hand. They can also get ideas at the reading table by reading books on repairs and DIY.
Matt Brewer is the director (负责人) of a Repair Café . Also, he is a teacher at a high school. In his eyes, schools should not only teach students to get high grades in tests, but also pass some important life skills on to them. Some of his students study many different skills and try to make broken things work again by themselves in his Repair Café . Zander and Chase are two of them. They enjoy repairing things in their free time, and they always help in the Repair Café on weekends.
Last month, Zander and Chase helped an old woman repair a telephone. The phone was so old that the two had never known it, but that didn't stop the repair work. Brewer taught them to use the tools and then they repaired the telephone. When the old woman told them the phone was nice to use, they were both happy. "It's fun to learn how to repair things," Zander said.
"That's the point of the Repair Café," Brewer said. "These kids are learning necessary life skills."
