headings)，而它是很多学生特别害怕的题型，一是因为它需要看的文字比较多，比较耗时；二是因为学生经常会以细节代替主旨。题型特点：1. 位于文章前部；2. 顺序原则；3. 考察主旨不是细节；4. 一一对应原则，错一个可能连续错几个，所以不确定答案可以把可能的选项都写在边上，最后确定再写。 research academy for foreign language

teeth in the upper jaw overlap one row on the lower jaw, is unique among living species. they are further unusual in having a pronounced photoreceptive eye, the third eye, which is thought to be involved in setting circadian and seasonal cycles. they are able to hear, although no external ear is present, and have a number of unique features in their skeleton, some of them apparently
