Working with their human partners, the beagles (猎犬) search for agricultural products carrying diseases and pests which are likely to infect American agriculture.An orange or apple, for example, might harbor（藏有） a Mediterranean fruit fly. Ham(火腿) could carry a disease such as cholera. These and other pests could do harm to farmers crops. “Once we introduce something that is not part of the environment, there may not be any controls for it in the environment,” notes USDAs Lisa Davis at the National Dog Detector Training Center in Orlando, Florida. “The best thing for us to do is to prevent it from ing across the border and spreading.”When a beagle smells food smells, it signals its partner by sitting there. The human partners then investigate. When the dog is right-which happens 90 percent of the timeit gets something to eat.“The dog is not out there working,” explains Davis. “Its out there playing. Its a game to the dog.” The partners give the beagles plenty of food and loving. They make sure they get first-class medical attention, too. When the dogs finally retire after 9 to 11 years, the USDA finds caring homes for them. Its a dogs life indeed!Their people partners work and study somewhat harder. As specialized quarantine(检疫) officers, most hold degrees in the biological sciences or related sciences.How well does the Beagle Brigade do its job? “On the average,” notes Davis, “each year our 54 teams prevent around 75,000, restricted(限制的) items.” Since even one infected item could cause widespread destruction, thats a great result for Americas agricultural environment.29. The beagles at the airport in the USA are used to _.A. conduct the check on foreign passengers baggageB. stop the local products from being taken abroadC. help inspect the baggage brought from abroadD. keep their people partners safe30. What will the beagle do when it finds a possible food product?A. Signal by sitting next to it. B. Bark and run around it.C. Draw it to its partner. D. Play a game.31. What is the authors attitude towards the use of beagles?A. Curious. B. Uninterested.C. Doubtful. D. Positive.DWhat would the world be like if cars could drive themselves？ Imagine(想象) seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner， or a car full of passengers who are reading， listening to music or even sleeping But none of them are worried about the road ahead Well， all of this could be the future of driving There are several panies， including Google， working on driverless cars， which are currently（目前） in the testing stages If the tests are successful， we could buy an electric， selfdriven car very soon But， how is it possible for a car to drive itself？ Cars already have many features allowing them to take over drivers during certain situations Some features include cars being able to park themselves， or slow down when they detect objects close by They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions， such as snow or slippery （滑的） roadsOther features have also changed the way drivers react to some situations Scientists and engineers believe， with the help of wireless signals， cameras and GPS， we are now at a stage where creating a safe selfdriving car might be possible The selfdriven car may be the answer to lowering the number of deathly accidents caused by careless drivers or dangerous conditions However， there are still some people who do not like the idea American lawyer Whit Drake， for example， doesnt believe these cars are safe He thinks the possibility of the technology making a mistake will be too high32.According to the passage， drivers are NOT supposed to in a selfdriven carA read B sleepC dance D listen to music33.The underlined phrase take over in paragraph 3probably means A teach B replaceC protect D check34.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
