moms. you might be surprised at some of these moms.octopusesthe octopus mother lays about 50,000 eggs. for about 300 days，she stays with the eggs，cleans them and protects them. she does not leave to feed. however，this animal mom dies as soon as the eggs are hatched。crocodilesa crocodile mother puts a lot of time and effort into raising her babies. she starts by building a nest(巢)，which she guards for over two months！when the eggs are ready to hatch，the young crocs call out to their mother，who digs them out and helps them hatch. she then carries them in her mouth down to the water，where she will guard them for several weeks or months until they learn to hunt on their own.batsbats become moms by hanging head up in a cave，giving birth. catching the youngster before it can fall to the ground below，she puts it in a pouchbat moms may carry babies with them when feeding for the first few days. as the little bats get bigger and heavier，moms help them hang on the wall of their caves and return often to feed them. it continues for about three weeks，until the babies are grown up and able to fly on their own.koalasthis animal mom gives birth after a pregnancy(怀孕期) of only 35 days. the hairless baby climbs into its mothers pouch and lives there for another five months. when the little koala is between five and eight months old，it leaves the pouch for short periods of time but returns for safety. once it is too big to return to the pouch，it will climb onto its mothers back and ride there until it is about 12 months old.56the passage is probably taken from _.a. a movie b. a conference c. a science magazined. a speech 57which animal moms dies when their babies are born?aoctopus. bcrocodile.cbat. dkoala.58a crocodile mother usually carries her babies to the water _.ain her mouth bon her backcin her pouch dby her tail59a bat mom _.agives birth by lying in the nestbgives birth by hanging in a cavecleaves its babies in the pouch for monthsdlets its babies live on their own after birth60how long does a young koala usually stay in its mothers pouch at least?a35 days. b5 months.c8 months. d12 months.bfish have ears. really. theyre quite small and have no opening to the outside world carrying sound through the body. for the past seven years, simon thorrold, a university professor, has been examining fish ears, small round ear bones called otoliths. as fish grow, so do their otoliths. each day, their otoliths gain a ring of calcium carbonate (碳酸钙). by looking through a microscope and counting these rings, thorrold can determine the exact age of a young fish. as a fish gets older, its otoliths no longer get daily rings. instead, they get yearly rings, which can also be counted, giving information about the fishs age, just like the growth rings of a tree. ring counting is nothing new to fish scientists. but thorrold has turned to a new direction. theyre examining the chemical elements (元素) of each otolith ring. the daily ring gives us the time, but chemistry tells us about the environment in which the fish swam on any given day. these elements tell us about the chemistry of the water that the fish was in. it also says something about water temperature, which determines how much of these elements will gather within each otolith ring. thorrold can tell, for example, if a fish spent time in the open ocean before entering the less salty water of coastal areas. he can basically tell where fish are spending their time at any given stage of history. in the case of the atlantic croaker, a popular saltwater food fish, thorrold and his assistant have successfully followed the travelling of young fish from mid-ocean to the coast, a journey of many hundreds of miles. this is important to managers in the fish industry, who know nearly nothing about the track of the young fish for most food fish in the ocean. eager to learn about his technology, fish scientists are now lending thorrold their ears. 61what can we learn about fish ears from the text? a. they are small soft rings. b. they are not seen from the outside. c. they are openings only on food fish. d. they are not used to receive sound. 62why does the writer compare the fish to trees? a. trees gain a growth ring each day. b. trees also have otoliths. c. their growth rings are very small. d. they both have growth rings. 63why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith rings? a. the elements of the otoliths can tell the history of the sea. b. chemical contents of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim. c. we can know more about fish and their living environment. d. scientists can know exactly how old a fish is. 64how would you understand “fish scientists are now lending their ears”? a. they are very interested in thorrolds research findings. b. they want to know where they can find fish. c. they lend their fish for chemical studies. d. they wonder if thorrold can find growth rings from their ears. 65. if the passage goes on, it possibly refers to _.a. fish life b. food fish c. fish industry d. young fishcgreenwich (格林威治)is on the river , five miles from the middle of london , and its history is two thousand years old . the first english people were fishermen there , and they named the place greenwich , meaning green village. later the english kings and queens lived at greenwich in their beautiful places.the name of the earliest palace was placentia. its windows were made of glass the first in england. but trouble was coming to greenwich. in 1649, a war started in england and for eleven years there was no king. the men who had worked for him at placentia decided to live in the place themselves. they sold all its beautiful things, and bought small pieces of the palace garden with money. finally, the war ended and king charles ii came back. but placentia was falling down. so king charles built a new and bigger palace, which is now open to the public.at this time, charles was worried about losing so many of its ships at sea because their sailors did not know how to tell exactly where they were. so in 1675 , charles made john flamsteed, the first astronomer (天文学家)in england , try to find the answer . flamsteed worked in a new building on the high ground in greenwich park. from it with a telescope which he made himself, flamsteed could look all round the sky . and he did, night after night, for twenty years. carrying on flamsteeds work a hundred years later, an astronomer called harrison finally made a clock which told the time at sea, and helped sailors to know where they were .you can see harrisons clock, still working, in greenwichs museum of the sea. because of flamsteeds work, every country in the world now tells its time by greenwich time.66. the first english people living in the green village were _.a. sailors b. fishermen c. king charles and his family d. the families of king and queens67. placentia was _ palace in greenwich .a. the biggest b. smallest c. the earliest d. the
