Most dinosaurs were planteaters. The Apatosaurus, for example, had a long thin neck so that it could eat leaves from trees. Other dinosaurs were meateaters. The Tyrannosaurus Rex killed smaller dinosaurs for food.Dinosaurs were real animals that once lived on the earth, but they died out about 65 million years ago. The disappearance of the dinosaurs is in some way a great mystery (謎). Some scientists think that the climate (氣候) changed suddenly. Fossils (化石) of trees tell us that the temperature dropped a lot and that the level of the sea dropped as well. This means that it got suddenly much colder. Perhaps the dinosaurs were too slow to change with the climate.A new idea is that a meteor (流星) crashed into the earth. Scientists discovered a place in Mexico where they think the meteor crashed. They think that there was a lot of dust from the meteor. The dust landed on the plants. Also the dust blocked (阻擋) the suns light for as long as five years. Many animals, including dinosaurs, were planteaters, and perhaps the dust killed them. This means there was nothing left for meateating dinosaurs to eat, and so they died out. But, as many animals from that time didnt die, we are not 100% sure what really happened.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案：1. What is the subject discussed in the text?A. Dinosaurs, the real animals living millions of years ago.B. The two types of dinosaurs.C. The probable reasons for dinosaurs disappearance.D. A meteor crashed into the earth.2.

The dust blocking the sun.C. The planteating dinosaurs death.D. It is still unknown. 難句注釋 The disappearance of the dinosaurs is in some way a great mystery. 恐龍的消失在某種程度上說還是個(gè)謎。Total words:233Reading time:_Reading speed: _Fossils of trees tell us that the temperature dropped a lot and that the level of the sea dropped as well. 樹木的化石告訴我們氣溫大大地降低了, 海平面也降低了。Passage B閱讀理解The elephant is the biggest fourlegged animal in the world. It is also, perhaps, the gentlest (溫順的), but not always!Elephants are like us in some ways. They live for a long time fifty or sixty years. They can remember things very well. They never forget great sadness or great happiness. If a female(雌性的)elephant dies, her daughters and her grand daughters are sad for many months. They stay with the dead body. Then they carry a bit of it away with them. They never forget a dead friend.Elephants are like us, but they are also different. They live in families of females. There will be a few young males a few “baby boys”. But the females will soon send them away. An elephant family keeps only its daughters, mothers and its great grandmothers.The females stay together for fifty, sixty.a hundred years. The older animals look after the younger ones. The mothers teach their daughters and set a good example.And what happens to male(雄性的)elephants? Well, the young males stay with their mothers for a time. Then they must leave the family. The females just send them away. A male elephant does not often have a friend. He lives apart away from the family, and often away from other male elephants.
