and wet. There were green forests and they could find enough to eat. Later, parts of the earth became cold and dry, and the forests there died. Then dinosaurs could not find enough to eat. This must be one reason why dinosaurs died out.
We can guess another reason. New kinds of animals came on the earth. Some had big brains and
strong. They could kill dinosaurs.
There may be other reasons that we don"t know about yet. Scientists are are trying to make more
discoveries about dinosaurs. Dinosaurs were of many sizes and shapes. Some were as small as chickens, while some were about 90 feet long.
There were also terrible rights between dinosaurs. They night have happened more than 100 million
years ago. Though there was no man to see any of the fights, we can be told by the animal"s footprints
(足迹) that fights did take place.

C. more than 100 million years ago
D. when it was warm and wet somewhere
B. parts of the earth became cold and dry
C. the dead forests there could not supply them with enough food
D. they couldn’t find enough go eat
B. some fast and strong animals with big brains could kill them
C. some dinosaurs were as small as chickens
D. some big dinosaurs died in the fights
B. dinosaurs are dangerous enough
C. dinosaurs are worth studying
D. scientists know nothing about dinosaurs

举一反三
male has a light-coloured patch on its plumage (鸟羽) which acts as signal for drawing the female"s
attention to a suitable nesting-place. Unlike the blue tit, the redstart (红尾鸲) may be only the male that
strikingly coloured and the female is not beautiful.
A few years ago I was lucky enough to spot a pair of redstarts in action in a Walsh wood. The male
was leading an interested female to holes that he had previously (先前) checked out. He sat at the
entrance of each hole and put his head on to show off his white forehead, or his head in to reveal (显露)
his tail.
If the female failed to react to his visual signals, the male sometimes sang for extra effect, while gliding towards her on spread wings and tail. Once the female accepts by following the male through the hole the
displays stop, you must be at the right place at the right time to watch them.
B. The male chooses their nest.
C. The house-hunter chooses their nest.
D. The female chooses their nest.
B. how an interested female played with the male happily
C. what the male displayed and won the female
D. that the male tried his best but failed to attract the female
B. regularly
C. in April
D. occasionally
4. The writer is probably _____.
B. a bird-hunter
C. a bird raiser
D. a scientist
researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called "Noah"s Ark". Noah"s Ark is
aimed at collecting eggs, embryos (胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in
liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas
A & M"s College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to
reintroduce the species in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds reptiles will become extinct in over
100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda
into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host
animal.
The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.
"The nuclear transfer (核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available
(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem," Kraemer believes. "They will probably
have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and
it"s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live
pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort," adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas
A& M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.
"They are trying to do something that"s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in
Noah"s Ark. We"re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and
there"s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It"s a research that is very much
needed."
B. save endangered animals from dying out
C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study
D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another
B. host animals
C. qualified researchers
D. enough money
B. The First Cloned Panda in the World
C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas
D. China -the Native Place of Pandas Forever
B. scientists try to implant a panda"s egg into a rabbit
C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches
D. about two thousand of species will probably die out in a century
"I think we are knowing at the door of immortality (永生)." said Michael Zey, a Montclair State
University business professor and author of two books on the future. "I think by 2075____________________________ and that"s a conservative estimate (保守估计的).”
At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor and author at New Jersey Medical
School in Newwark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (纳米技术) make it likely
that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. "There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years." He said. "Some have suggested that there is no limit and that
people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years."
However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubted about it and say the human body is just
not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. "It remains to be seen if you pass
120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?" said Leonard Poon, director of the University of George Gerontology Centre. "At present people who could get to that point are not in
good health at all."

of lung cancer among smokers. A new study shows that black people and Native Hawaiians are more
likely to develop lung cancer from smoking. It compared their risk to whites, Japanese-Americans and
Latinos.
Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Hawaii did the new study.
The New England Journal of Medicine published the findings. The eight-year research studied more than
180,000 people. They included present and former smokers and people who never smoked. Almost
2.000 people in the study developed lung cancer.
Researchers say genetics(遗传学) might help explain the racial and ethnic(种族的) differences.
There could be differences in how people"s bodies react to smoke. But environmental influences,
including the way people smoke, could also make a difference.
African-Americans and Latinos in the study are reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day.
Whites are the heaviest smokers. But the scientists point out that blacks have been reported to breathe
cigarette smoke more deeply than white smokers. This could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals
in tobacco that cause cancer.
Scientists know that some diseases effect different groups differently. And some drug companies
have begun to develop racially targeted(针对) medicines. Last June, the United States Food and Drug
Administration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. The name is BiDil. The
agency called it "a step toward the promise of personalized medicine."
B.Africans-Americans-Latinos
C.Asians-Native Hawaiians
D.Africans-Americans-Native Hawaiians
B.the living style or habit of the blacks
C.the depth of cigarette smoke into their lungs
D.the physical strength to react to cigarette smoke
B.the black and white people
C.the Asians and Hawaiians
D.smokers and non-smokers
B.tell the readers that racial differences exist in smokers
C.show a big step people have taken in the medicine area
D.support the idea that it is easy for blacks to have cancers
B.Race has nothing to do with the risk of having a lung cancer.
C.The research was started by the New England Journal of Medicine.
D.The risk of lung cancer lies I how much a person smokes.
old, short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody"s second language. It is easy to understand, although you
can"t hear it. It is sign language.
When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you are saying, "I want to be friendly", but you are not using speech. You are using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you are saying, "Please ask me. I think I know the correct answer."
Babies who can"t talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to
stop traffic holds up his hands. He is using sign language.
Many years ago, a French priest, Charles Michel de Epee, became interested in education for deaf
people. He invented a finger alphabet (字母表). It is still in use. People can make the sign for letters and
spell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C.
Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The newsreader tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen.
The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don"t spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they
put two hands together, it means sandwich. They can make a roof with their hands when they want to
show a house. One finger in front of an actor"s mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are
behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have
conversations under water.
How many hand signs do you use every day?
B. It is a way to express one"s ideas without words.
C. It is only used by the deaf.
D. It can be heard.
B. put one hand onto the other
C. smile to the person
D. make a roof with your hands
B. There are schools, colleges and universities for the deaf in the USA.
C. The French priest Charles invented sign language.
D. Even babies are using sign language.
B. the importance of sign language
C. a famous priest in France
D. how to use sign language
