话题:救援鼠被应用于地震救援
Some intelligent African giant rats are helping humans save lives through search and rescue missions while wearing tiny backpacks.
A British research scientist, Dr. Kean is training 170 rats to be sent into earthquake ruins to do vital work in finding earthquake survivors. These rescue rats are equipped with tiny backpacks that contain microphones, video cameras, and location trackers. These tools will allow the rescue teams to communicate with earthquake survivors in realtime.
Dr. Kean expressed how the rescue rats are ideal for this type of work, saying, “Rats would be able to get into small spaces to get victims buried in the ruins.” The highly clever rats are skillful at surviving in different environments and their natural agility (敏捷) makes them ideal for use in hardtonavigate disaster zones. The rescue rats are even being trained to respond to the sound that call them back.
Dr. Kean's team work together with the nonprofit organization APOPO for their “Hero Rats” project. These “Hero Rats” are set to start working with a search and rescue team in Turkey, joining earthquake rescue efforts in the highrisk area. The group of 170 rats is being trained for additional projects involving landmines, tuberculosis (结核病), and even smelling out Brucellosis, an infectious disease that impacts farm animals. Dr. Kean feels hopeful about her project's promising results and is excited that her team is the only organization in this field working with this species.
5.What can the rescue rats do?
A.Give response to victims.
B.Operate devices and tools.
C.Seek those trapped in ruins.
D.Communicate with survivors.
6.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The wide use of the rescue rats.
B.The advantages of the rescue rats.

D.The living environments of the rescue rats.

C.Cautious. D.Doubtful.
8.What is the purpose of the project?
