Mary Anning was an English fossil collector, dealer and paleontologist(古生物学家 ). Her fossil-hunting
helped change the way people thought about the world.
Mary was born into a poor family in England on May 21, 1799. She lived in the seaside town of Lyme Regis,
in Dorset. The family had nine children. Only Mary and her brother Joseph grew up. Mary’s father took his
children along the beach. They picked up shells and stones to sell to visitors. Mary did not go to school much. Her
family was too poor. And schools did not teach children about fossils. Mary could read and write. She taught

herself. She learned about rocks and how bodies are made.
In 1811 when Mary and Joseph were fossil hunting, Joseph saw a bone sticking out of the rock. Mary had a
hammer to chip away at the rock. Very carefully she uncovered it. She found the first complete fossil of the
ichthyosaur(鱼龙).
Since then, Mary became crazy about fossil hunting. She liked to hunt on the beach after a storm. The wind,
rain and waves made the rocks crumble It was easy to spot fossils. Most days Mary went fossil hunting with her
dog, Tray.
Rich friends helped Mary by selling fossils for her. They sent her money. Scientists wrote letters and came to
see her. One good friend was William Buckland, a professor at Oxford University. Mary also opened a shop to sell
fossils, stones and shells. She chatted with visitors.
Mary Anning died inl847. How evolution(进化)works was explained by Charles Darwin not long after Mary
died. Her fossils had helped scientists understand how things began.

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing the world today. The scientific consensus (共识) is
clear: the Earth’s climate is changing, and human activities are the primary cause. However, there is still debate
among some politicians and members of the public about the reality of global warming and the extent to which
humans are responsible.
One major source of controversy is the role of carbon dioxide (CO2)and other greenhouse gases in causing
global warming. Some skeptics (怀疑者 ) argue that other factors, such as changes in solar radiation or natural
cycles of climate change, could be responsible for the warming trend observed in recent decades. However, the
overwhelming majority of scientists agree that the evidence points to human activities, especially the burning of
fossil fuels, as the main driver of global warming.
Another point of contention is the potential impacts of climate change on the economy and society. While
some argue that the costs of transitioning to cleaner energy sources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions would
be too high, others point out that the costs of inaction could be even greater. Rising sea levels, more frequent and
severe weather events, and damage to ecosystems could have significant economic and social consequences.
Despite the ongoing debate, many countries and international organizations have taken steps to address the
threat of climate change. The Paris Agreement, signed by 195 countries in 2015, aims to limit global warming to
well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, with a goal of limiting the increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
To achieve this, countries have pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase investments in renewable

energy and other low-carbon technologies.

Students usually go to school from Monday to Friday. But some schools in the USA are getting shorter weeks.
Classes go for four days instead of five.
There are some reasons for this change. School leaders hope longer weekends may give teachers a good rest.
And schools could spend less money on buses or electricity.
But is a four-day school week better for students and parents
Some experts did research to find out the effects. They talked to people about the change. “Some people really
like it,” said Christopher Doss, an expert. “Parents get to spend more time with their kids. And they think everyone
can be less stressed and sleep more.”
The experts didn’t just want opinions though. They looked at the data. “In fact, we could not find a lot of data
to support the parents,” Doss said. Parents did spend more time with their kids. But the study didn’t find that they
were less stressed.
The experts also discovered a problem. “We found that kids probably learned a little less every year,” Doss
said. “That can add up to a lot less.” So the question is while the change is welcomed, is it worth having kids learn
less
Many students have their own ideas about the change. “I think weeks should be four days,” Chris said. “Every
Sunday, I wish for just one more day to prepare for school.” Maya is more in the middle. “I don’t mind a four-day
week, but I still like school,” she said. “The bad side is that Tuesday will feel like Monday!”
Are you for a four-day week Or are you OK with five
32．What are the reasons that some schools in the USA are getting shorter weeks
①To save money.
②To give teachers a good rest.
③To make parents less stressed.

A．②③ B．①② C．③④ D．②④
33．What kind of data did the experts fail to find
A．Those to support students’ ideas.
B．Those to support school leaders ‘ideas.
C．Those to show parents were less stressed.
D．Those to show parents spent more time with their children.
34．What problem did the experts find about the four-day school week
A．Students learned less.
B．Students had busier weekends.
C．Parents had less time to care for their kids.
D．Parents had to learn to teach their kids by themselves.
35．In which part of a website can we read the text
A．Travel. B．Culture. C．History. D．Education.
