What are fossils?

Fossils are the remains of plants or animals. For such remains to be considered fossils, scientists have decided they have to be over 10,000 years old. The word fossil comes from the Latin word “fossilis”, which means, “dig up”.  Fossils can be divided into “body fossils” and “trace(痕迹) fossils”. Body fossils are the remains of a plant or animal’s body. Trace fossils are the remains of the activity of an animal, such as footprints, egg shells, and nests.

How are fossils formed?

Some animals were quickly covered after their death by sediment(沉淀物) like earth, mud or sand. Over time, the parts of the animals that didn’t rot (usually the harder parts like bones and teeth) were covered in the newly formed sediment. Then, a lot of chemical changes happened to the animals bodies. Water with minerals(矿物质) went into the bone and took the place of the chemicals in the bone with rock-like minerals. In the end we get a heavy, rock-like copy of the original object - a fossil. There weren’t any changes in size and shape when an object changed into a fossil, but the fossil of a bone doesn’t have any bone in it! It is chemically more like a rock! According to scientists, fossils have been found on every continent(大陆) on Earth.

【1】Trace fossils can’t be formed from the ______ of some kind of animals.

A. footprints   B. nests   C. eggs   D. bodies

【2】______ brings the rock-like minerals into the bone.

A. Sunlight   B. Earth   C. Water   D. Air

【3】According to the last paragraph, the fossil is as ______ as the original object.

A. heavy   B. big   C. old   D. clean

【4】We can know that ______ from the passage.

A. scientists think that the fossils may have a history of 100 centuries.

B. people haven’t found any fossil on the continent of Africa.

C. we can find some real bones in the fossils of a bone.

D. there are many kinds of sediment in the fossils.

【5】This passage most probably comes from ______.

A. an advertisement   B. a medical magazine   C. a science book   D. a notice

25、   Many people head to the Takhini Hot Springs in Yukon, Canada to take part in the International Hair Freezing Contest ( 国际头发冰冻比赛) in winter. The event usually runs for the whole month of February which is traditionally the coldest time of the year in Yukon. It is below 4 oF(—20℃). The purpose of the contest is to create the most creative frozen hairstyle possible.

After checking in, you are led to the natural hot springs, which has a temperature of 104 oF(40℃). Thanks to the cold air, only putting the head into the water is enough to freeze hair.

You can also sit in the hot springs and allow the steam to gradually get on your head while the cold air freezes your hair. After the hair is frozen and molded ( 成 型 ) (when possible), you take pictures. The hot springs officials collect all the pictures during the contest and in mid to late March the top three pictures are chosen.

People must agree to give all rights of their pictures to the hot springs officials. The contest also offers some great prizes.

1st place: $750 and a free 30—time soak (浸泡) membership at the hot springs. 2nd place: $200 and a free 12—time soak pass.

26、  

If you meet a British person in the street, it is very likely that he or she will apologize whether it is his or her fault (过错)or not.

It seems that Britain is becoming a nation where everyone is saying sorry. Almost each person says sorry about eight times each day—and one in eight people apologizes as many as 20 times a day.

As you may have seen, the British apologize more often than members of other cultures. Research shows that in many cases, people’s love of saying sorry in Britain goes a little further than it does for Americans. For example, about 15 British people would say “sorry” while only 10 from the US would do this if they sneezed, if they corrected someone’s mistake or if someone knocked into them.

In the old days, “sorry” was used to express regret and sadness for having done something wrong. But now British people use the expression as a way of showing good manners. For example, they might say “sorry” instead of “excuse me”, “pardon”, “what” or “whatever”.

People in Britain also use sorry when they share the same feelings with others—so they might say “sorry about the rain”.

However, British people’s use of “sorry” may make things very confusing and difficult for foreigners who are not familiar with their ways. But actually, people in Britain pay much attention to the feelings of others. This is the reason why they apologize every day.

【1】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.What daily expressions Britain people often use.

B.How people in Britain keep in touch with foreigners.

C.The different meanings of sorry in and out of Britain.

D.Why British people say sorry many times every day.

【2】In the old days, people said sorry when they   .

A.did something wrong B.asked the way C.wanted to repeat something D.made a choice

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Americans say sorry more than British people.

B.Even British people get confused when they say sorry.

C.Almost every person in Britain says sorry 20 times a day.

D.The British also say sorry to share the same feelings with others.

【4】What does the underlined word “confusing” mean in the last paragraph?

A.令人困惑的 B.豁然开朗的 C.不拘礼节的 D.清晰明了的

【5】From the passage we can learn that British people   .

A.like to talk about the weather

B.care a lot about others

C.are difficult to get along with

D.love to correct mistakes

27、

I recently read a book called The Shawshank Redemption（《肖申克的救赎》）. It tells a story that is both shocking and full of hope.

Set in 1947, it tells the story of Andy Dufresne, a banker who was sentenced(判处) to life in Shawshank State Prison. He was accused of killing two people, although he didn’t do it. After years of suffering in the prison, he started to make friends with others and won their respect with his outstanding accounting (会计学的) abilities.

But Andy never stopped wanting freedom. During his 20 years in prison, he had been digging a hole with a small pickaxe (篙头) every day and hiding the hole with a poster. As his well-prepared escape plan was put into practice, the suspense (悬念) in the book keeps me on edge until the end.

Famous Irish writer Oscar Wilde once said “We’re all in the gutter (臭水沟), but some of us are looking at stars.” This saying perfectly sums up Andy’s life. The thing that makes the biggest impression on me is Andy’s love for the beauty of life. He plays a song over the prison’s broadcast system, even though he was not allowed to do so. When the singer’s voice was heard, the prisoners stopped talking, immersing themselves in the music and letting the beauty flood in.

The goal of this book is to show readers the power of strength, hope and patience.

【1】In which section may we read the above material?

A.MAGIC WORLD  B.COOL INVENTION

C.I REVIEW D.DETECTIVE FUN

【2】Andy was put in prison because ________.

A.he stole money from a bank

B.he made some bad friends

C.he dug holes in the ground

D.he was said to have killed two people

【3】The underlined words “kept me on edge” in paragraph 3 probably mean ________.

A.to make me feel anxious but also curious

B.to make me feel relaxed and comfortable

C.to make me feel like giving up reading

D.to make me feel bored and sleepy

【4】The paragraph 4 is mainly about ________.

A.how Andy escaped from prison

B.why Andy played a song on TV

C.what Oscar Wilde thought of the book

D.what kind of attitude Andy held towards life

【5】The author of the story would probably agree that ________.

A.many people are put in prison by mistake

B.it is not necessary to fear the world

C.hope is the best thing to hold on to

D.prisoners should be allowed to listen to music

28、   English and Chinese are totally different language. However, some proverbs (谚语) in English seem to have a “twin” in Chinese. Here are three of them.

Double-edged sword (双刃剑). / Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.

The Chinese proverb was 【1】(one) used by Confucius. He reminded a ruler that his power was 【2】 (base) on people who supported him. If the people were dissatisfied, they could easily fight 【3】 the ruler. Similarly, double-edged sword reminds us that what brings us power can bring us harm, too.

These days, both expressions are used to point out how our tools can 【4】 help or harm us. It all depends on how we use these tools.

Think before you act. / Think three times, and act after.

Both cultures are 【5】 /waɪz/ enough to include this proverb. It is a good phrase to use when any friend is going to make a big 【6】(decide).

Stands head and shoulders above the rest. / A crane standing among a group of chickens.

A crane is a large 【7】/bɜː(r)d/ with long legs and a long neck. Just imagine such an animal 【8】(stand) among many chickens. The crane will naturally stand out, won’t it?

So these two expressions now 【9】/rɪˈfɜː(r)/ to someone who stands out from the rest. You may use them to describe 【10】 talented artist, an excellent job candidate, and so on.
