The trap jaw ant, which lives in Central and South America, moves its mouth parts at 35 to 63 meters per second. Another way to think about this is that the ant’s jaws close at 125 to 233 kilometers per hour. That’s 2,300 times faster than the blink of an eye. Scientists were able to measure the amazing jaw speed using highspeed video techniques. Sheila Patek, a biologist, says the key is that the jaws have a springy (有弹性的 ) system, which is critical in getting explosive (爆发性的 ) speeds. Consider a bow and arrow. If you try to throw an arrow with your arm, it won’t go very far. If you use a bow, elastic energy stored in the bow is freed almost immediately when you let go of the arrow with your finger. That’s exactly what really fast anisms are doing. Maybe even more amazing than how fast these ants grab food or even enemies is how they use this same energy to move. As the ant closes its jaws, it uses them to push off the ground — all faster than the eye can see without slow motion video. A snap of the jaw can send an ant up to centimeters into the air. That’s like someone who is meters jumping 13 meters high! Not only can they quickly escape from enemies, but often a group of ants will start jumping all at once. It would be hard for their enemies to grab just one. 33. The fast speed of the trapjaw ants’ jaws lies in ______. A. their light bodies B. their springy systems C. their living environment D. the length of their jaws 34. What does the passage use “a bow and arrow” as an example to show? A. How an arrow gets so much energy to fly. B. Why the trapjaw ants have a springy system. C. Why the trapjaw ants’ j aws move so fast. D. How a bow and arrow works. 35. According to the passage, the trapjaw ants’ jaws keep them safe because ______. A. they can catch their enemies easily with their jaws B. their jaws make them difficult to recognize C. their jaws help them to find food easily D. their jaws help them to escape from their enemies 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。 There are times in life when things don’t go as expected.
