Shishmaref B The term “crocodile tears“ refers to insincere sadness. This term has an etymology dating
33、back several centuries. As early as the fourth century, crocodile tears are referenced in the literature with the meaning of insincere sorrow. It is said that crocodiles weep while eating their hunted animals because they are sad; however, this sadness is not honest. The term crocodile tears became
34、widely popular after it was documented in a fifteenth-century book titled The Voyage and Travel of Sir John Mandeville, Knight. A passage from the book reads: “These crocodiles kill men and they eat them weeping.“ As you may already know, crocodilians (鳄目动物)likely feel bad about littleespecially wil

In a 2007 paper published in BioScience titled “Crocodile Tears: And they eaten them wepynge ”(“Crocodile Tears: And they eat them weeping”), researchers observed 7 crocodilians in cages during feedi
36、ng time at a reserve (4 caimans and 3 American alligators). The researchers observed the animals outside of water at feeding stations to better find out whether tearing developed. Five of the 7 crocodihans developed something like tears in their eyes before, during or after feeding. The researchers
37、suggest that these crocodile tears occur because a crocodilian hisses （发 出嘶嘶声）while it cats, and this hissing forces air through the spaces in the bone behind the nose and out the eye, in the process picking up nasolacrimal secretions （鼻泪管分泌物. In humans, crocodile tears is a medical condition that c
38、auses a person to tear up while eating. Crocodile tears typically occur because of a temporary loss of facial control due to damage of the facial nerve. Specifically, when the facial nerve grows again, it does so incorrectly thus resulting in tears during chewing food. 58. The underlined word “etymo
39、logy” in Paragraph 1 refers to_. A.a reference book containing articles on various topics B.the origin and history of a particular term C.a printed sheet of paper that arc given free to advertise D.the application and influeme of a new theory 59. The term “crocodile tears“_. A. is a medical conditio
40、n that causes a crocodile to tear up B. became widely popular as early as the fourth century C. refers to pretended sadness D. proved to be only an assumption 60. From the 2007 paper published in BioScience, we can know that 7 A. crocodilians especially feel bad about feeding B. not all the 7 crocod
41、ilians developed tearing C. the crocodilians were carefully observed inside water D. crocodile tears occur because a crocodilian hisses after it eats 61. The passage is mainly about_. A. what the real truth is about crocodile tears B. when the term “crocodile tears“ got popular in literature C. how
42、researchers made the experiment on crocodilians D. why crocodile tears typically occur in humans C For several decades, there has been an organized campaign intended to produce distrust in science, funded by those whose interests are threatened by the findings of modem science. In response, scientis
43、ts have tended to stress the success of science. After all, scientists have been right about most things, from the structure of the universe to the relativity of time and space. Stressing successes isnt wrong, but for many people ifs not persuasive. An alternative answer to the question “Why trust s
44、cience?” is that scientists use the so-called scientific method. But what is called the scientific method isnt what scientists actually do. Science is dynamic: new methods get invented; old ones get abandoned; and at any particular point, scientists can be found doing many different things. False th
45、eories sometimes lead to true results, so even if an experiment works, it doesnt prove that the theory it was designed to test is true. If there is no specific scientific method, then what is the basis for trust in science? The answer is the methods by which those claims are evaluated. A scientific
46、claim is never accepted as true until it has gone through a long process of examination by fellow scientists. Scientists draft the initial version of a paper and then send it to colleagues for suggestions. Until this point, 8 scientific feedback is typically fairly friendly. But the next step is dif
47、ferent: the revised paper is submitted to a scientific journal, where things get a whole lot tougher. Editors deliberately send scientific papers to people who are not friends or colleagues of the authors, and the job of the reviewer is to find errors or other faults. We call this process “peer revi
48、ew because the reviewers are scientific peersexperts in the same fieldbut they act in the role of a superior who has both the right and the responsibility to find fault. It is only after the reviewers and the editor are satisfied that any problems have been fixed that the paper will be printed in th
49、e journal and enters the body of “science.“ Some people argue that we should not trust science because scientists arc “always changing their minds.“ While examples of truly settled science being overturned are far fewer than is sometimes claimed, they do exist. But the beauty of this scientific process is that science produces both creativity and stability. New observations, ideas, explanations and attempts to combine competing claims introduce creativity; t
