答案：【解析】：
這是一道英語閱讀理解題，主要考查學(xué)生對于文章內(nèi)容的理解和信息提取能力。題目給出了一個關(guān)于使用老鼠進(jìn)行搜救的項目介紹，并圍繞這個主題提出了四個問題。
問題5詢問為什么選擇老鼠進(jìn)行搜救，需要從文章中提取老鼠的特性，并與選項進(jìn)行對比。
問題6詢問老鼠是如何被訓(xùn)練的，需要找到描述老鼠訓(xùn)練過程的段落。
問題7是一個綜合理解題，需要從文章中提取多個信息點(diǎn)，并與選項進(jìn)行對比，找出正確的一項。
問題8詢問Donna Kean對這個項目的看法，需要從文章中提取她的觀點(diǎn)或態(tài)度。
【答案】：
5. A
根據(jù)文章中的描述，“Mice like to explore—and that is key for search and rescues,”和“Besides, their small size and excellent sense of smell make them perfect for locating things in small spaces.”可以得知，老鼠喜歡探索，體型小，嗅覺靈敏，這些特性使它們適合進(jìn)行搜救。而文章中沒有提到老鼠在黑暗中有完美的視力，所以選項A（①②③）是正確的。
6. D
文章第四段明確描述了老鼠的訓(xùn)練過程：“The mice are being trained in a basic environment at present. They must first locate the target person in an empty room, pull a switch that starts an alarm on their clothes, and then return home, where they are given a treat.”所以選項D（第四段）是正確的。
7. C
根據(jù)文章中的描述，“And APOPO is working with the Eindhoven University of Technology to develop a backpack with a video camera, a two-way microphone, and a locating tool to help communicate with survivors.”可以得知，APOPO正在與埃因霍溫理工大學(xué)合作開發(fā)這種高科技背包，所以選項C（APOPO科學(xué)家還沒有發(fā)明這種高科技背包）是正確的。
8. C
文章中提到，“Together with the backpack and the training, the mice are very useful for search and rescue,” said Kean. “Even if our mice find just one survivor, we would be happy to know they have made a difference somewhere.”可以得知，Donna Kean對這個項目充滿希望，所以選項C（充滿希望的）是正確的。
