My daughter is a university graduate working toward her masters degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade
21、he became a “vo-tech” student (技 校学生). Theyre called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body. When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, hes a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.” I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usua
22、lly have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they dont often make school honor rolls (光荣榜). But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices dont have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car
23、 crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose. My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800. Sinc

Scientists say they first appeared 200 million years ago and have lived longer than the dinosaurs by some 65 million years. One reason why they are such good survivors is th
30、at they can go for a very long time without eating. And they are expert hunters! They use their strong jaws to bite their prey (猎物) and then they swallow food whole. Another amazing fact about crocodiles is: When they lose a tooth, they grow one right back. A crocodile can go through 8,000 teeth in
31、one lifetime! While these facts are interesting, they really do not help to explain todays expression: crocodile tears. Simply put, crocodile tears are fake sadness. You pretend to cry and feel bad or something when in fact you could not care less. A great word to describe crocodile tears is insince
32、re. The expression “crocodile tears” comes from an old story that crocodiles would cry tears as a fake show of guilt or sorrow to trick their prey. The prey would come closer and then become dinner. We know now that the story is not true. Scientists explain that crocodiles do produce tears. That is
33、because while eating, they swallow too much air, which gets in touch with lachrymal glands (glands that produce tears) and forces tears to flow. But theyre not actually crying. Crying is purely emotional and is reserved for us humans. When you use it, take some advice. You do not have to have actual
34、 tears flowing down your face to have “crocodile tears”. Sometimes, crocodile tears are worse than insincere. Those are the times when you are showing sadness but actually in your heart, you are quite happy about the situation. 28. How does the author mainly show that crocodiles are amazing? A. By t

36、s according to scientists? A. The flow of its tears makes it appealing. B. It pretends to be guilty to trick its prey. C. It wants to show its emotional feelings. D. The way it eats forces its tears to flow. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. An Expression“Crocodile Tears” B. What Crocodile
37、s Actually Cry for C. Unknown Facts About Crocodiles D. How Crocodiles Show Sadness D Young sunflowers turn and swing every day. New findings add to evidence that the plants are animal-like. Harmer, a professor in the University of California at Davis Department of Plant Biology, carried out a serie
38、s of experiments on sunflowers in the field, in pots outdoors and in indoor growth rooms. By staking plants so that they could not move, Harmer showed that he could destroy their ability to track the sun. He also noticed that sunflowers prevented from moving were not as tough and leafy as those that
39、 were free to move. When plants were moved indoor with a settled overhead light, they continued to swing back and forth for a few days. The indoor plants did start tracking the “sun” again when the apparent source of lighting was moved across the room. The plants could reliably track the movement an
40、d return at night when the artificial day was close to a 24-hour cycle, but not when it was closer to 30 hours. When sunflowers track the sun, the east sides of their stems grew more rapidly than the west sides. At night, the west sides grew faster as the stem swung the other way. The team identifie
41、d a number of genes that were expressed at higher levels on the sunward side of the plant during the day, or on the other side at night. A plant growth-regulating hormone (荷尔蒙), called auxin, appears to be a key driver. The “dance” to the sun cycle obviously slows when the sunflower matures and its
42、flowers open up. At that point, the plants stop moving during the day and settle down facing the sun in the east. “Bees like warm flowers.” Harmer said, adding that the bees are cold-blooded, so landing on a warm flower saves them energy and perhaps feels really good. “The morning warmth changes the
43、 flowers in a way to make them more appealing to insects, perhaps causing them to release more attractive scents (香味) earlier in the day.” he said. “Were currently testing this idea.” 32. Why did Harmer do the experiment on sunflowers? A. To see how sunflowers grow up. B. To show what sunflowers gen
44、es are. C. To study why sunflowers track the sun. D. To check if sunflowers swing in cloudy days. 33. What does the underlined word “staking” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Tracking. B. Fixing. C. Growing. D. Researching. 34. What is the result of sunflowers being stopped from moving? A. They wont
45、 grow well. B. They will grow faster than usual. C. They wont swing back though set free. D. They will produce a number of new genes. 35. What is the advantage of sunflowers dance to the sun? A.
