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. however, this sadness is not honest. 【英語(yǔ)】高三英語(yǔ)閱讀理解(教育文化)技巧(很有用)及練習(xí)題及解析一、高中英語(yǔ)閱讀理解教育文化類1．閱讀理解 The term crocodile tears refers to insincere sadness. This term has an etymology dating back several centuries. 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。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. 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.) （1）考查詞義猜測(cè)。故選B。根據(jù)第一段中的“It is said that crocodiles weep while eating their hunted animals because they are sad。故選C。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(yú)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(yú)在吃食時(shí)都會(huì)流淚。 （4）考查主旨大意。故選A。2．閱讀理解 A middle school in Union County, New Jersey, is forcing its students to stay disconnected in class, by prohibiting cellphones. Maxson Middle School Principal Kevin Stansbury put forward the phone ban last week after he noticed some major issues in the school. Our test scores were down, discipline was up, he says. According to him, students were too focused on their phones to pay attention to their lessons. So, he purchased Yondr pouches for the school. When students e into class each morning, they place their phones in the pouch, which is then locked up tight. It can only be opened using a special device at the end of the day. The ban on mobile devices applies not just during class time but during breaks, with the only exceptions being in times of emergency or in cases of students who need such devices to help with disabilities. s just better for everyone because you39。m usually listening to music, but today I got to municate with all my friends, says student Desiree Duncan.

According to the latest survey, making a difference through their work is essential (必要的) to young people39。 The survey found that 72 percent of graduating college seniors believe being able to have a positive social influence through their work is essential to their happiness. Making a difference is so important to them that 45 percent say they would take a 15percent pay cut to work at an organization that has a social or environmental influence, and 58 percent say they would take a pay cut to work for an organization whose values are the same as their own. One reason for the emphasis (強(qiáng)調(diào)) on improving the world probably has to do with the culture of colleges, which encourages students to connect their studies back to realworld problems. Students are used to discussing important
