27、The flying fox is not a fox at all. It is an extra large bat that has got a fox’s head, and that feeds on fruit instead of insects (昆虫). Like all bats, flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when at rest, and travel in great crowds when out flying. A group will live in one place for years. Sometimes several hundred of them occupy (占据) a single tree. As they return to the tree toward sunrise in the morning, they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight.
Flying foxes have babies once a year, giving birth to only one each time. At first the mother has to carry the baby on her breast wherever she goes. Later she leaves it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat. Sometimes a baby bat falls down to the ground and squeaks (尖叫) for help. Then the older ones swoop (俯冲) down and try to pick it up. If they fail to do so, it will die. Often hundreds of dead baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of a tree.
【1】The passage tells us that there is no difference between the flying fox and the ordinary bat in________.
A.their size
B.the way they rest

D.their appearance
【2】Flying foxes tend to ________.
A.lose a lot of their young
B.fight and kill a lot of themselves
C.move from place to place constantly
D.double (翻一番) their number every year
【3】At daybreak every morning flying foxes begin to________.
A.fly out toward the sun
B.look for a new resting place
C.come back to their home
D.go out and look for food
【4】Flying foxes have fights ________.
A.when there is not enough food
B.only when it is dark

28、If you’ve ever watched an elephant eat and drink with its trunk (象鼻), you may think it’s simple. A new study by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology shows that elephant trunks are pretty cool but also complicated (复杂的). In fact, this research is among the small amount of new scientific information on elephants found in more than 100 years. And the research shows that elephants use several skills to move things.
When elephants pick up foods, they use different movements, Schulz, the study’s lead researcher, says. They can also clean up objects. They can use the ends of their trunks to gently pick small objects. And they can use suction (抽吸) to pick up foods of different sizes. “They can get a tortilla (玉米饼) without ever breaking it,” says Schulz. When elephants drink, they enlarge the inside of their trunk to store water before they drink it. And elephants may have many more skills up their trunks. Schulz just hasn’t worked them all out yet and needs to do more study into it.
To study elephant trunks, Schulz spent a lot of time working with an elephant named Kelly at Zoo Atlanta in Georgia. He chose her over two other elephants there because “she is amazing,” Schulz says.“She likes exploring with her trunk, and she really likes something called ‘enrichment.’ That means we could work out interesting ways for her to find and get her food.”
Learning about the ways Kelly’s trunk works is interesting and important work, especially because no other researchers have found out about such things, Schulz says. It could also help engineers understand how to build more useful robots to help doctors do surgery (外科手术). And with some elephant populations in Asia and Africa quickly falling, Schulz sees the work as a way to help save these animals.“We’re using science to encourage people to learn more about elephants,” Schulz says.“And the more animals are studied , the more likely they are to be protected.”
【1】What has the present study found out about elephant trunks?
A.The reasons for their big size.
B.The ways in which they work.
C.The differences in their shape.
D.The changes in them over the years.
【2】What do we know about Schulz’s study on elephant trunks?
A.It is carried out by Zoo Atlanta in Georgia.
B.It is the first in the field to be finished.
C.It tries a new way to study them.
D.It needs to be worked on further.
【3】Why was Kely chosen for the study?
A.She liked trying new things.
B.She had a special sense of food.
C.She had been in a similar study before.
D.She looked cleverer than other elephants.
【4】What does the last paragraph center on?
A.The necessity of protecting elephants.
B.The importance of studying elephant trunks.
C.The modern way of treating injured elephants.
D.The difficulty of learning about elephant trunks.
29、When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.
After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.
