The key to getting the most out of these online resources is to know how they can best be used to your advantage.FacebookAlthough Facebook can be one of your biggest time-wasters and distractions when you are supposed to be getting work done, it can also be one of your most valuable resources. Most of your classmates will probably have a Facebook account, so anyone you need to connect with about a class you missed or about a problem is usually just a few clicks away.Amazon, comDo you finish every term with many expensive textbooks you will never open again? Instead of letting the money spent go to waste, get back some of your cash by selling your books on Amazon.Choosing new classes can sometimes be like trying to pick out your clothes in the dark, a total guessing game. Which teacher gives out the hardest problem sets? How much homework will that history professor give you every week? At RateMyProfessors. com, students all over the country rate their professors on quality, helpfulness, and how hard their classes are.WikipediaWhile Wikipedia isn't aimed specifically at students, it is difficult to think of another website that does more to reduce the pain of paper writing and researching. Wikipedia gives you a quick way to find sources and get the details of almost anytopic you need to research— all without walking to the library.21. ________________________ The passage was mainly written to.A. explain some websites for parentsB. offer some websites that may helpstudentsC. compare some educational websitesD. introduce different parts of a website22. _____________________________________ While you are taking great pains to writea research report, ______________________ can most probablybe a help.A. FacebookB. C. RateMyPorfessors. comD. Wikipedia23. ________________________ RateMyPorfessors. com is a place .A. where you can make friends all over the countryB. where you can communicate with your professorsC. that gives you information about professors in advanceD. that gives tips on how to get along with your professorsBEvery man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps.As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin torealize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hopedfor. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waiteduntil the last moment. Book reports weren't written until the final threat.I've been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduateworking toward her master's degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenthgrade he became a "vo-tech" student （技校学生）.They're called "motorheads” by therest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him ''motorhead", I was shocked. "Hey,he's a good kid," I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirtyhands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don't often make school honor rolls （光荣榜）.But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don't have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. "Hey, I can fix it," said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800.Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most importantly, I have learned that fathers don't need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.24. W hat used to be the author's hope for his son?A. To avoid becoming his clone.B. To resemble him in appearance.C. To develop in a different direction.D. To reach the author's unachieved goals.25.W hat can we learn about the author's children?A. His daughter does better in school.B. His daughter has got a master's degree.C. His son tried hard to finish homework.D. His son couldn't write his book reports.26.T he author let his son repair the car because he believed that .A. his son had the ability to fix it.B. it would save him much time.C. it wouldn't cause him any more lossD. other motorheads would come to help.27. W hat did the author realize in the end?A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.B. It is important for one to make the honor roll.C. Architects play a more important role than builders.D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.CThe crocodile （鳄鱼）is an amazing animal. Why are they amazing? Crocodiles are expertsat survival. Scientists say they first appeared 200 million years ago and have lived longer than the dinosaurs by some 65 million years. One reason why they are such good survivors is that they can go for a very long time without eating. And they are expert hunters! They use their strong jaws to bite their prey (猎物)and then they swallow food whole. Another amazing fact about crocodiles is: When they lose a tooth, they grow one right back. A crocodile can go through 8,000 teeth in one lifetime!While these facts are interesting, they really do not help to explain today's expression: crocodile tears. Simply put, crocodile tears are fake sadness. You pretend to cry and feel bad or something when in fact you could not care less. A great word to describe crocodile tears is insincere.The expression "crocodile tears” comes from an old story that crocodiles would cry tears as a fake show of guilt or sorrow to trick their prey. The prey would come closer and then become dinner. We know now that the story is not true. Scientists explain that crocodiles do produce tears. That is because while eating, they swallow too much air; which gets in touch with lachrymal glands (glands that produce tears) and forces tears to flow. But they're not actually crying. Crying is purely emotional and is reserved for us humans.When you use it, take some advice. You do not have to have actual tears flowing down your face to have "crocodile tea rs”. Sometimes, crocodile tears are worse than insincere. Those are the times when you are showing sadness but actually in your heart, you are quite happy about the situation.28. How does the author mainly show that crocodiles are amazing?A. By telling stories.B. By giving examples.C. By conducting experiments.D. By making comparisons.29. _______________________________ "Crocodile tears" is often said to a person who.A. has some insincere friendsB. faces sorrowful situationsC. shows unreal sadnessD. cares little about others30. Why does a crocodile produce tears according to scientists?A. The flow of its tears makes it appealing.B. It pretends to be guilty to trick its prey.C. It wants to show its emotional feelings.D. The way it eats forces its tears to flow.31. What is the best title for the text?A. An Expression—"Crocodile Tears"B. What Crocodiles Actually Cry forC. Unknown Facts About CrocodilesD. How Crocodiles Show SadnessDYoung sunflowers turn and swing every day. New findings add to evidence that the plants are animal-like.Harmer, a professor in the University of California at Davis' Department of Plant Biology, carried out a series of experiments on sunflowers in the field, in pots outdoors and in indoor growth rooms.By staking plants so that they could not move, Hanner showed that he could destroy their ability to track the sun. He also noticed that sunflowers prevented from moving were not as tough and leafy as those that were free to move. When plants were moved indoor with a settled overhead light, they continued to swing back and forth for a few days.The indoor plants did start tracking the “sun” again when the apparent source of lighting was moved across the room. The plants could reliably track the movement and return at night when the artificial day was close to a 24-hour cycle, but not when it was closer to 30 hours.When sunflowers track the sun, the east sides of their stems grew more rapidly thanthe west sides. At night, the west sides grew faster as the stem swung the other way. The team identified a number of genes that were expressed at higher levels on the sunward side of the plant during the day, or on the other side at night. A plant growth-regulating hormone （荷尔蒙）， called auxin, appears to be a key driver.The "dance” to the sun cycle obviously slows when the sunflower matures and its flowers open up. At that point, the plants stop moving during the day and settle down facing the sun in the east."Bees like warm flowers?" Harmer said, adding that the bees are cold-blooded, so landing on a warm flower saves them energy and perhaps feels really good."The morning warmth changes the flowers in a way to make them more appealing to insects, perhaps causing them to release more attractive scents （香味）earlier in the day.** he said. "We're currently testing this idea."32. Why did Harmer do the experiment on sunflowers?A. To see how sunflowers grow up.B. To show what sunflowers' genes are.C. To study why sunflowers track the sun.D. To check if sunflowers swing in cloudy days.33. W hat does the underlined word "staking" probably mean in Paragraph 3?A. Tracking.B. Fixing.C. Growing.D. Researching.34. What is the result of sunflowers being stopped from moving?A. They won't grow well.B. They will grow faster than usual.C. They won't swing back though set free.D. They will produce a number of new genes.35. What is the advantage of sunflowers’ dance to the sun?A. They save more energy.B. They produce more flowers.C. They mature more rapidly.D. They attract more insects.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.How to Put on a Medical MaskMedical masks are mainly used by health care professionals to protect themselves and others.
