A

Crocodiles lay their eggs and leave them under leaves or sand. 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, Australia, Africa and America. The crocodile’s 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 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 bird. For its food, this bird takes the bits left in the crocodile’s 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 sharp teeth it seizes(抓) its food, which may be a fish, an animal, or even a careless man, and then holds it below the water until it drowns.

41. How are the crocodile’s teeth cleaned?

A. The crocodile bird helps them to do it.

B. A special fish cleans them.

C. Using its tongue.

D. Clean water.

42. Which sentence is wrong?

A. Crocodile can see things all around it.

B. Baby crocodiles can help themselves to break their way out of the shells.

C. Crocodiles can’t move its tongue up and down.

D. A careless man may be seized by crocodile

43. The crocodile does with its food________.

A. above the water B. under water

C. under shells D. by his weapon

B

There have been many great inventions, things that have changed the way we live. The first great invention is one that is still very important today—the wheel. This makes it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distance.

For hundreds of years, after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore much any more. They began to work in order to make life better.

In the second half of the 19th century, many great inventions were made, among which were the camera, the electric light and radio. These all become a big part of our life today. The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909, the computer in 1946, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It has changed the kind of clothes people wear.

The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live long lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.

By this most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world is known to man but stars are not yet. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.

In 1969, man took his biggest step away from earth. American first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning, though. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.

44. ___ inventions had as much effect as the wheel before the 19th century.

A. Some B. Few C. Many
