watch dinosaurs in order to know how they lived and whether they were good parents Instead, they
have to search hard for information from dinosaurs’fossils（恐龙化石）because dinosaurs died out
millions of years ago.
It’s very difficult for the scientists to reach an agreement because different results can be got from
the same fossils, Many fossils of the same kind of dinosaurs have been dug out from one place. They
might have formed when an entire group of dinosaurs got stuct（陷入）all st once. Or they might have
been the result of dinosaurs getting stuck one after another over a course of a few centuries. Thys we
can say that dinosaurs might have in the first case lived in big groups and in the second lived alone.
Though there are two different results, dinosaur scientists now generally agree that at least some kinds
of dinosaurs lived in big groups. “That’s pretty much settled at this point.” Says Paul Sereno, A kind of
dinosaurs called Sauropods left behind tracks in the western United States that appear to run north and
south,suggesting that they even moved long distances together.
As to whether dinosaurs cared for their young, dinosaur scientists have turned to the closest living
relativers of dinosaurs―birds and crocodiles―for possible models. Birds give a lot of care to their young,
while crocoeiles just help their young to the water, The discovered fossils of dinosaurs sitting on their gees
and staying with their young suggest the parents were taking care of their babies, but we still cannot say
that all dinosaurs did the same.
There is still a long way to go before the above questions could be answered. Dinosaur scientists will
have to find more proof to reach an agreement.
B. examining modern animals
C. watching dinosaurs
D. using teleeopes
B. Most dinosaurs moved long distances.
C. Many dinosaurs settled in the north.
D. Some dinosaurs lived in big groups.
B. studying dinosaurs’living relatives
C. following the tracks left behind
D. working on dug-out dinosaur eggs
B. Baby crocodiles can look after themselves well.
C. Some dinosaurs took care of their young.
D. Birds and crocodiles take good care of their young.

because it is very rewarding and varied. They work not only inside a laboratory, but also out in the field.
Fieldwork includes traveling to river? oceans and lakes in order to collect information and specimens (~2~),
reading, writing and speaking me also very important to the job, fish scientists need to read the research of
other scientists. They must he able to write up their own research clearly so that others can follow it. They
also need to be able to give lectures about their findings, so that they can spread knowledge.
Ichthyologists who wish to specialize can choose any one of three areas of study. The first area is
aquaculture (水产养殖). This involves the study and practice of fish farming and management. Because it is
a rather new study, there are very few job opportunities available. However, as there is so much to discover,
many see it as an exciting area for a new ichthyologist to enter. The second area is fisheries science, which
means working with a team of scientists to find out more about different fish species. The third area is about
the protection of natural fish populations. This is very important today, given that many fish species are in
danger of dying out because of the actions of humans.
To become a successful fish scientist, you need to have a curious mind and be able to work on your own.
You also need to be able to handle equipment and perform experiments; but most importantly, you must love
fish. To become an ichthyologist, you will need to train at a university to pass a Bachelor of Science degree.
For this, you will need to be good at mathematics, physical science and biology. Then, you will need to study
for another year to complete an honours degree in ichthyology. This honours degree contains coursework
about all aspects of fish. You also need to complete a research paper.
B. They have to study science and mathematics.
C. They work in fields as well as in laboratories.
D. They read research papers written by others.
B. Aquaculture is the study of fish protection.
C. The life of an ichthyologist can involve lots of travel.
D. A fish scientist needs to be independent and curious about things.
B. Jack, because he likes to travel and read adventure books.
C. Jenny, because she likes science, mathematics and reading about dinosaurs.
D. Jane, because she likes mathematics, science, biology and searching rock-pools.
B. science researchers
C. fisheries experts
D. fish farmers
They can actually be quite lazy! Greyhounds are good at fast races but not long-distance running. They do
need regular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and then get back on the bed or a comfortable
seat. Another misunderstanding is that greyhounds must be aggressive (好斗的) because they are big in size.
In fact greyhounds love people and are gentle with children.
Greyhounds can live for 12-14 years but usually only race for two or three years, and after that they make
great pets. They don"t need a lot of space, don" t make a lot of noise, and don"t eat a lot for their size.
Normally, greyhounds can be as tall as 90 cm. There is, however, a small-sized greyhound, which stands
only 33 cm. Greyhounds come in a variety of colors. Grey and yellowish-brown are the most common.
Others include black, white, blue, red and brown or a mix of these.
Greyhounds have smooth body coats, low body fat and are very healthy. Because they" re slim (苗条的)
they don"t have the leg problems like other dogs the same height. But they do feel the cold, especially since
they would much rather be at home in bed than walking around outside.
B. to let people know more about greyhounds
C. to explain why greyhounds are aggressive
D. to describe greyhounds of different colors
B. like staying in bed all day
C. make the best guard dogs
D. need some exercise outdoors
B. They live a very long life.
C. They can run races for some time.
D. They are quiet and easy to look after.
B. to keep it warm
C. to take special care of its legs
D. to take it to animal doctors regularly
that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This
was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficultties in writing
papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant (显著的) problem.
The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course.
Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation (动机), we considered
it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind
of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating
because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may
help because it is different.
Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining (保持) or increasing motivation. Several years
ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers
lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it
into line with the expressed language needs of the students.
B. There are many ways to improve English.
C. Teaching should meet students" needs.
D. English learning problems should be studied again.
B. became better at speaking
C. became less interested in reading
D. had fewer problems with listening
B. grammar-based teaching seems to be encouraging
C. English courses are necessary for foreign students
D. teaching content should be changed halfway
B. activity
C. motivation
D. timetable

| Stop Spam When I first got an e-mail account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming (发送垃圾邮件) a crime. If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual (个人的) e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time? This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passes on to the consumer. For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience. | |
