I’m lucky enough to be a fossil preparator， which means I work with fossils like removing rocks from fossils and gluing fossils together to make sure they’re not broken. Sometimes， we have dinosaur bones that need to be arranged and put back into place. I like the job from the bottom of my heart. When we make “jackets”—these are things that store the fossils—we have to scientifically figure out how to make them for specific bones or fossils， which can be different shapes and artistic expression.

Since I was a kid， it’s been my dream to be a paleontologist （古生物學(xué)家）. When I was 12， I went to this kind of event at the Houston Museum of Natural Science called Dinosaur Day. I got a chance to meet paleontologists. At the end， I asked， “Hey， can I volunteer？” And somehow， they let me， as long as a parent came with me. At 12 years old， I got to go to a fossil excavation （發(fā)掘現(xiàn)場）， and I got to work with dinosaur bones and fossils in the lab for the first time.

Fossils are very old. We don’t always get all the pieces. We’re working with something that’s incomplete， sometimes. We do our best to fit the pieces we know back together. And as for the pieces we don’t know， we don’t try to make anything up. But sometimes， we have a gap in a specimen （標(biāo)本） and it needs support. We’ll put some material in there that’s clearly not fossil， so when people go to study it， they know not to study that part.

People would wonder how I find other kids who shared my interests when I was growing up. As a matter of fact， in my friend group， I was the only dinosaur girl. My friends were interested in other things， but they were all super supportive of my love for fossils.

24. Why does the author like her job？

A. It is not a demanding job. B. It combines both art and science.

C. It is more artistic than scientific. D. It helps her learn dinosaur bones.

25. Why does the author mention her visit to the local museum？

A. To show she had a dream since her childhood.

B. To present the barrier of achieving her dream.

C. To prove her parents supported her.

D. To say she took up the job by chance.

26. How does the author deal with the incomplete fossils？

A. By burying them back in the ground. B. By breaking and reconstructing them.

C. By making them up with similar materials. D. By filling their gaps with distinct materials.

27. What kind of girl was the author when she was growing up？

A. Careful. B. Understanding. C. Independent. D. Entertaining.

Scientists at MIT have managed to change ordinary spinach （菠菜） plants into natural sensors （傳感器） which can find chemicals used in bombs. The secret to giving spinach these special powers is nanotech

（納米技術(shù)）， which is scientific area that deals with making or changing things that are extremely tiny.

“Ordinary spinach plants can be found everywhere and easy to store; like other plants， they normally take in carbon dioxide gas，” the scientists say. “But actually they can sense small changes of soil and water potential and respond to them. If we make use of this point， there is a wealth of information to access.” That’s what the scientists use to power their tiny experiments.

For this experiment， the scientists placed two different kinds of tiny nano-materials into spinach plants. To get them into the plants， the scientists put a liquid containing them on the bottom of the plant’s leaves. As part of its natural process， the spinach plant pulls water through its roots and into its leaves. If the water contains certain chemicals used in bombs， the tiny sensors in the leaves make the nano-tubes， which， along with the sensors， were placed into the spinach plant before by the scientists， produce a slightly special kind of light. By watching the plant constantly using a camera attached to a cheap computer， the scientists set up a system that can send a warning email if chemicals from explosives are found in the water.

The computer the scientists used is about the size of a playing card. They say that in the future， their system could even use a cellphone with its camera changed slightly. Discovering chemicals used in bombs is just one of the many uses the researchers are exploring. They have used such plants to discover several other dangerous chemicals as well. From their point of view， there’s no doubt that in the future， such systems could give farmers specific information about the health of the land and water on their farms.

28. Why do scientists use spinach plants to do the experiment？

A. They are common in the daily life. B. They are environmentally responsive.

C. They absorb much carbon dioxide gas. D. They are small in size and easy to store.

29. What is the function of the carbon nano-tubes placed into spinach plants？

A. To control the camera. B. To contain the liquid.

C. To fix the tiny sensors. D. To give off plant light.

30. What can we learn about the application of the experiment？

A. It’s diverse. B. It’s unexpected. C. It’s limited. D. It’s complicated.

31. What can be the best title for the text？

A. Spinach Sends Warning Emails Using Nanotech

B. Spinach Is Sensitive to Chemicals in Bombs

C. Nanotech Helps Spinach Grow Healthily

D. Nanotech Protects Spinach from Danger

D

Some talk of building settlements on the Moon or Mars to help make sure humanity survives long into the future. Others have their sights set closer to home： on future cities under the ocean.

“Technologically speaking， it is absolutely possible to colonize the bottom of the sea，” says Fabien Cousteau， a well-known ocean explorer who once spent 31 days living in what is now the world’s only functioning undersea habitat， Aquarius. It’s about the size of a school bus and located 62 feet below the ocean surface off the Florida Keys.

Just as astronauts test what it would be like to live in space， aquanauts （海底觀察員） try out undersea living with an eye on the future. Escaping from disasters such as climate change， wars， or pandemics is one reason to live under the sea. Others include studying， exploring， or appreciating the ocean. It’s costly and expensive to constantly keep up an ocean habitat which must make its own air， electricity， and fresh water. Residents have to deal with high pressure. And infections can develop rapidly due to high humidity （濕度）.

Despite the challenges， several new ocean habitats and cities are under construction. A series of space-station-like undersea living areas for aquanauts called Proteus are scheduled to be completed soon off Curacao， an island in South America.

Not everyone agrees that building homes in the ocean is a good idea. This type of development could place even more pressure on ecosystems that are already struggling with pollution and climate change. It’s important to make sure that any construction is done carefully， says Susanne Menden-Deuer， an oceanographer at the University of Rhode Island. Wild undersea habitats should be treated as “the precious， irreplaceable resource that they are，” she says.

32. The underlined word “colonize” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.

A. build up B. settle in C. think up D. take in

33. What can we learn about Aquarius？

A. It is still under construction." " " " " " B. It functions as an undersea school bus.

C. It is the only ocean habitat in operation." " D. It only allows a person to live there for 31 days.

34. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？

A. The present and future of living under the sea.

B. The reasons and challenges of living under the sea.

C. The purpose and cost of building undersea settlements.

D. The problems and findings of building undersea settlements.

35. What would be the result of building homes in the ocean according to the text？

A. Rapid development of undersea habitats." " " B. Protection of irreplaceable ocean resource.

C. Negative impacts on undersea ecosystems." " D. Struggles with pollution and climate change.

Looking into my eyes， this 48 spoke in a quiet voice， “Whatever is 49 will pass. You’re going to be OK; just hang on.” He， then， smiled again and walked away. I can’t explain the impact of that moment， of that man’s unexpected 50 and unconditional caring！ He gave me the one thing I’d lost

51 ： hope. I looked for him on campus to thank him， but never saw him again.

That was thirty years ago. And I’ve never 52 that moment. Over the years， whenever I see someone in 53 ， I recall that man and try to give a little of hope in the 54 wherever I can— carrying groceries for people， talking to tired couples at the checkout line， it could be anything.

As Mom and I stood in line waiting to cash out at the retail store， I studied the customer in front of us who was reading the magazines to our left. She was young， maybe early twenties， but she already had a stoop （駝背）， looking very tired.

The items in her cart included the cheapest cuts of meat and meal materials like pasta， rice and potatoes. Day-old bread， bargain soap， and inexpensive shampoo （洗發(fā)劑） completed her purchases—well， almost. In the corner sat a little doll and a pretty dress that was 50 percent off. She continued to look at the magazines as we waited， and more people lined up behind us. She turned around and asked Mom for help.

“I’m sorry to bother you，” she began shyly. “But can you tell me how much this is？ I forgot my glasses at home.” “Of course，” Mom said. When Mom finally found the small print and told her， she sighed quietly and put it back.

“Next！” The cashier called and she moved forward to begin her trade. When the store employee finally figured everything out and told her the cost， the woman’s face paled. It was obvious that she didn’t have enough money， and she looked at her groceries to see what she could do without. One by one， she removed things， but it was still not enough. She continued to take much-needed goods out while the cashier patiently deducted （扣除） things.

The child’s items remained in the cart， however. In fact， the palm of her other hand lay protectively across them， as if she didn’t want to be tempted to abandon them. The woman finally paid， and moved down to bag them.

When our turn came， Mom pointed to the pile of items the woman had taken out， added all our meat and fresh milk， and whispered “Separate bags， same bill please” to the cashier. She nodded， even though it was a “pack your own” kind of store.

注意：續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150個左右。

The cashier went on with her work， and Mom and I picked up all the items.

The woman turned and looked at my mom in surprise.
