As early as the fourth century, crocodile tears are referenced in the literature with the meaning of insincere sorrow. It is said that crocodiles weep while eating their hunted animals because they are sad。 however, this sadness is not honest. The term crocodile tears became widely popular after it was documented in a fifteenthcentury book titled The Voyage and Travel of Sir John Mandeville, Knight. A passage from the book reads: These crocodiles kill men and they eat them weeping. As you may already know, crocodilians(鱷目動物) likely feel bad about little—especially feeding. However, the assumption of the crocodiletears metaphor may be true. In a 2007 paper published in BioScience titled Crocodile Tears: And they eat them weeping, researchers observed 7 crocodilians in cages during feeding time at a reserve (4 caimans and 3 American alligators). The researchers observed the crocodilians outside of water at feeding stations to better find out whether tearing developed. Five of the 7 crocodilians developed something like tears in their eyes before, during or after feeding. The researchers suggest that these crocodile tears occur because a crocodilian hisses (發(fā)出嘶嘶聲) while it eats, and this hissing forces air through the spaces in the bone behind the nose and out the eye, in the process picking up nasolacrimal secretions (鼻淚管分泌物.) In humans, crocodile tears is a medical condition that causes a person to tear up while eating. Crocodile tears typically occur because of a temporary loss of facial control due to damage of the facial nerve. Specifically, when the facial nerve grows again, it does so incorrectly thus resulting in tears during chewing food.(1)The underlined word etymology in Paragraph 1 refers to ________. reference book containing articles on various topics origin and history of a particular term printed sheet of paper that arc given free to advertise application and influence of a new theory(2)The term crocodile tears ________. a medical condition that causes a crocodile to tear up widely popular as early as the fourth century to pretended sadness to be only an assumption(3)From the 2007 paper published in BioScience, we can know that ________. especially feel bad about feeding all the 7 crocodilians developed tearing crocodilians were carefully observed inside water tears occur because a crocodilian hisses after it eats(4)The passage is mainly about ________. the real truth is about crocodile tears the term crocodile tears got popular in literature researchers made the experiment on crocodilians crocodile tears typically occur in humans【答案】 (1)B(2)C(3)B(4)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,通過引用“鱷魚的眼淚”這一說法的來源、發(fā)展以及相關(guān)實驗來告訴讀者“crocodile tears”的真實含義。 (1)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第一段中的“dating back several centuries”追溯到幾個世紀(jì)前;以及“As early as the fourth century, crocodile tears are referenced in the literature with the meaning of insincere sorrow.”早在公元4世紀(jì),鱷魚的眼淚在文學(xué)作品中的意思是假慈悲,可推知, etymology 和一個詞條的來源和發(fā)展相關(guān)。故選B。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“It is said that crocodiles weep while eating their hunted animals because they are sad。 however, this sadness is not honest.”是指假傷心,假慈悲。故選C。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“Five of the 7 crocodilians developed something like tears in their eyes before, during or after feeding.”7只鱷魚中,有5只在吃食之前,之中和之后流下了眼淚,可知,并非所有的鱷魚在吃食時都會流淚。故選B。 (4)考查主旨大意。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“The researchers suggest that these crocodile tears occur because a crocodilian hisses (發(fā)出嘶嘶聲)while it cats, and this hissing forces air through the spaces in the bone behind the nose and out the eye, in the process picking up nasolacrimal secretions”研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)這些鱷魚的眼淚是因為它們在進(jìn)食時發(fā)出的嘶嘶聲,這種聲音迫使空氣通過鼻子背后的空間從眼睛出來,在這個過程中帶出了鼻內(nèi)管分泌物,可知,作者通過對“crocodile tears”這一詞條的來源、發(fā)展以及相關(guān)實驗來告訴讀者有關(guān)“crocodile tears”的真實含義。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測和主旨大意三個題型的考查,是一篇文化類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。2.閱讀理解 Dear Mom, The big question which shocked parents often ask their child after a confrontational(沖突) moment is, Where did you get this attitude from? I know you hate to admit it, but I get much of my determined and strongwilled nature from you. Mom, I know it39。s hard dealing with the teenage anxiety and the everchanging moods that e with raising a child. But you should also marvel at the fact that I39。ve made it this far, that I39。m healthy and happy. When I was small, I would attend barbecues and family events and wander away from my parents. It wouldn39。t be long before someone would stop me to ask whether I was my mother39。s daughter. Your mom is Melissa, they39。d say, a warm smile on their faces. Is that Tight? I would nod. I think parents feel much hurt when their child talks back or defies them, I was shocked at this statement. To me, I acted nothing like you, Mom. No one says, I know you39。re Melissa39。s daughter because of your eyes and nose. It39。s the character traits(特點)that seal the deal. Dry wit, intelligence, and yes, maybe a little bit of attitudethese are the things I am grateful I have received from you. There39。s nothing wrong with having attitude. Like for most black individuals, attitude is what defines you and me, and it39。s what keeps us from being mentally oppressed and defeated. Attitude is a nonviolent form of protection and confrontationwhere would we be in the world without this tool? Surely not where we are. Mom, when people ask me where I get my attitude from, I tell them: you. And when they ask me where I got my drive, my work ethic, my good hair, and my sense of humor, I say you as well. I will always say this. When I39。m asked why I am the way I am, why I refuse to allow others to hurt me with their words or actions and why I think and speak about things openly and without fear. I39。ll tell them it39。s because of you. I39。ll plain to you about the arguments between us that leave me wondering about how God made us so much alike
