A rat or pigeon might not be the obvious choice to tend to
someone
who
is
sick,
but
these
creatures
have
some
26
skills
that
could help the treatment of human diseases.


Pigeons are often seen as dirty birds and an urban 27 , but
they
are
just
the
latest
in
a
long
line
of
animals
that
have
been
found to have abilities to help humans. Despite having a brain
no bigger than the 28 of your index finger, pigeons have a very
impressive
29__
memory.
Recently
it
was
shown
that
they
could
be
trained to be as accurate as humans at detecting breast cancer
in images.


Rats are often 30 with spreading disease rather than 31 it,
but this long-tailed animal is highly 32 . Inside a rat's nose
are up to 1,000 different types of olfactory receptors
（嗅觉
感受器）
, whereas humans only have 100 to 200 types. This gives
rats the ability to detect __33 smells. As a result, some rats
are
being
put
to
work
to
detect
TB
（肺结核）
.
When
the
rats
detect
the
smell,
they
stop
and
rub
their
legs

a
sample

infected.


Traditionally, a hundred samples would take lab technicians
more than two days to 35 , but for a rat it takes less than 20
minutes. This rat detection method doesn't rely on specialist

equipment. It is also more accurate
—
the rats are able to find
more TB infections and, therefore, save more lives.


A) associated I) slight


B) examine J) specify


C) indicate K) superior


D) nuisance L) suspicious


E) peak M) tip


F) preventing N) treated


G) prohibiting O) visual


H) sensitive


Section B


Directions:
In this
section,
you
are
going
to
read
a passage
with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains
information
given
in
one
of
the
paragraphs.
Identify
the
paragraph
from
which
the
information
is
derived.
You
may
choose
a
paragraph
more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer

Do In-Class Exams Make Students Study Harder?


Research suggests they may study more broadly for the
unexpected rather than search for answers.


[A]
I
have
always
been
a
poor
test-taker.
So
it
may
seem
rather
strange that I have returned to college to finish the degree I
left undone some four decades ago. I am making my way through
Columbia University, surrounded by students who quickly supply
the verbal answer while I am still processing the question.


[B]
Since
there
is
no
way
for
me
to
avoid
exams,
I
am
currently
questioning what kind are the most taxing and ultimately
beneficial. I have already sweated through numerous in-class
midterms and finals, and now I have a professor who issues
take-home
ones.
I
was
excited
when
I
learned
this,
figuring
I
had
a full week to do the research, read the texts, and write it all
up. In fact, I was still rewriting my midterm the morning it was
due. To say I had lost the thread is putting it mildly.


[C] As I was suffering through my week of anxiety,
overthinking
the
material
and
guessing
my
grasp
of
it,
I
did
some

水印。

of
my
own
polling
among
students
and
professors.
David
Eisenbach,
who teaches a popular class on U.S. presidents at Columbia,
prefers the in-class variety. He believes students ultimately
learn more and
encourages them to form study groups. “That way
they socialize over history outside the class, which wouldn’t
happen
without
the
pressure
of
an
in-
class
exam,”
he
explained,
“Furthermore, in
-class exams force students to learn how to
perform under pressur
e, and essential work skill.”



[D] He also says there is less chance of cheating with the
in-class variety. In 2012, 125 students at Harvard were caught
up in a scandal when it was discovered they had cheated on a
take-
home
exam
for
a
class
entitled
“Introduction
To
Congress.”
Some colleges have what they call an “honor code,” though if
you are smart enough to get into these schools, you are either
smart enough to get around any codes or hopefully, too ethical
to
consider
doing
so.
As
I
sat
blocked
and
clueless
for
two
solid
days, I momentarily wondered if I couldn’t just call an expert
on the subject matter which I was tackling, or someone who took
the class previously, to get me going.


[E] Following the Harvard scandal, Mary Miller, the former
dean of students at Yale, made an impassioned appeal to her
