A sick little girl is being kept alive thanks to her best friend — a dog who carries her oxygen tank on his back. Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr Gibbs has been specially trained to shepherd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time. He follows her closely as she plays in her family’s ten-acre land in Louisville, uses the slide or even rides her bike.
Alida was diagnosed with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy(NEHI)when she was just eight months old. Her rare condition has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout the world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter oxygen through extra layers of cells, making it hard or almost impossible to breathe. For Alida and her parents, it meant that even a walk in the park was very difficult because oxygen equipment was too heavy for the youngster to be able to carry herself. As parents, they wanted to do something to help their daughter survive despite having a tube following her all the time. The couple found out about “service dogs” from a TV program and realized an animal trained to help the blind could be trained to help Alida. They finally found help in the shape of golden doodle—a retriever crossed with a poodle-dog Mr Gibbs. Now thanks to trainer Ashleigh Kinsley—Alida and Mr Gibbs love nothing more than playing and running around together with the dog acting as Alida’s life saver.
1.What is Mr Gibbs?
A. A pet dog. B. A policeman.
C. A doctor. D. A firefighter.
2. When did the doctor know Alida caught the disease?
A. At her birth.
B. At the age of eight.
C. Before she was one year old.
D. When she was three years old.
3. The underlined part “the couple” in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. Alida’s classmates B. Alida’s parents
C. Alida’s doctors D. Alida’s pets
4.How did Alida keep alive?
A. By training her dog.
B. By staying with her parents.
C. By playing with her fellows.
D. By breathing through a tube.

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
Cycling or even walking in city areas can be a little dangerous, thanks to the fact that one is sharing the road with vehicles that are increasingly getting larger and heavier. A recent study proves that of the 1.27million people that die in road traffic crashes each year, about half are walkers, motorcyclists and cyclists. Now there may be a solution that could provide at least some help to protect this helpless group---an airbag!
If you are worried that this safety measure will involve you taking around a heavy package or worse still, wrapping yourself inside an ugly plastic bag, the bag is fitted not on the human, but on the outside of the vehicle. And, while there are several versions of the idea in the works, the one most recently unveiled by Dutch car company TNO, seems to be the most advanced and ready to go into production.
In the works since 2011, the airbag covers only the lower part of the windshield. This will provide the much needed buffer(缓冲)between the person’s head and the pane of glass he/she would otherwise meet.
The chain of events leading to an airbag cause are quite simple---A camera fitted beneath the rear-view mirror monitors the vehicle’s closeness to a walker or cyclist. Any contact with either one of them sets off the sensors in the car’s bumper and quickly blows up the airbag. In addition to that the sensors also set off the car’s automatic brake, reducing the chances if an even worse injury.
In tests conducted using a model, the success of not getting injured after being hit by a car travelling at about 40km/h was about 50-50! While not perfect, it will still result in reducing the number of deaths by a huge amount.
With TNO ready to license its technology to car makers and many more companies trying to develop similar concepts, we would not be surprised if outer airbags become a standard feature in every car pretty soon.
1.Why does the airbag cover the lower part of the windshield?
A. To protect the windshield from being destroyed.
B. To make the vehicle look beautiful.
C. To reduce the weight of walkers.
D. To prevent people’s head crashing on the glass.
2.The fourth paragraph is mainly about__________.
A. how the airbag works
B. where the airbag is fixed
C. why the airbag is safe
D. what the airbag is made up of
3.The writer thinks the airbag of TNO____________.
A. perfect
B. practical
C. expensive
D. useless
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Airbags are a new standard feature in cars.
B. Airbags are much safer for drivers now.
C. Airbags are practical for walkers and cyclists.
D. Airbags are a solution to higher car accident rates.
