9、 your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 Crocodiles(鳄鱼) lay their eggs and leave them under leaves or sand. Baby crocodiles have special sharp teeth with which to break their way out of the shells.Crocodiles only live where it is hot. They are found in India, Austra
10、lia, Africa and America.They spend most of their time lying around in the mud or the rivers. The crocodiles long powerful tail is used when the animal is swimming. It is also an excellent weapon, because it can be swung with great speed and force. One blow will knock down a man or even a big animal
11、at once. The crocodile is very well protected against its enemies by the hard bony plates which cover most of its body, but because of the way its neck is formed, it cannot turn its head from side to side and so it can only see in front of itself. The crocodile has its teeth cleaned by the crocodile
12、 bird. For its food this bird takes the bits left in the crocodiles mouth. This helps the crocodile, which cannot clean its own teeth, for it cannot move its tongue up and down. With its rows of terrible pointed teeth it seizes its food, which may be a fish, an animal, or even a careless human being
13、, and then holds it below the water until it is drown to death.The long-nosed crocodile is shy and timid and because of this, the people of West Africa where it lives, sometimes catch it for food. Many, many centuries ago there were crocodiles in England. We know this because we have found their bon
14、es buried far down in the earth on which London is built. But the Britain of today is too cold for them to live in. Crocodiles may grow to over thirty feet in length. When they lie floating in the water, they look like floating tree-trunks and it is often impossible to tell that they are there.21 Th

Beaching means swimmin
17、g out of the ocean onto the beach, and usually dying there. No one knows why they do it, but a number of whales beach themselves every year. Some people think beaching is an accident.Perhaps the whales get confused. Scientists who studied the beaching of three dozen whales in Australia think the wha
18、les may have been confused by loud noises. Whales can tell where they are by sounds. They send out sounds and listen as they travel past or bounce off objects. Two days before these thirty-six whales beached, loud guns had been fired for two hours. The loud sounds may have confused the whales. Their
19、 confusion might have caused them to wander into low water.Whatever the reason whales beach, it is a sad event. People try to save them, but very few beached whales live. One whale that was rescued from beaching in Florida lived for forty-five days. That is the longest a beached whale has ever survi
20、ved. And it lived that long only because it got attention from doctors.All over the world, scientists rush to whale beachings as soon as they hear about them. They hope to learn why whales beach, and how to save them.25 The subject of this passage is _.（A）the Florida Beaches（B） Beached Whales（C） Wha

23、ften said that they are an American invention. It is not entirely true. The motion picture has been the most international arts. Before the dawn of the twentieth century, inventors in France, England and the United States were among the dozens of men who were trying to develop ways of using photogra
24、phs to create the effect of motion.Soon after 1889, when the famous inventor Thomas Edison first showed motion pictures through a device called the kinetoscope(活动电影放映机 ), other devices for the same purpose appeared all over the world. Edison had solved certain problems, making it possible for other
25、inventors move ahead with their own devices.

It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it. All the water is removed from the food. In the spaceship the astr
30、onaut puts the water back. He “shoots“ hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun. He eats the food through a small hole in the bag.Other foods come in bite sizes. The astronaut puts a whole piece in his mouth at once. There can be no crumbs. Crumbs would float around the spaceship and g
31、et in the way. Meat and cake often come in bite-sized pieces. Astronauts cant drink water from open cups. The water would float in drops in the air. The water is put in the special gun.
