Pterosaur new species of flying reptile discovered in Scotland
苏格兰斯凯岛发现新翼龙物种
考古学家们在苏格兰斯凯岛发现了一个新的翼龙物种。 这种独特的飞行爬行动物生活在1.68 –1.66亿年前。
This flying reptile soared over the heads of dinosaurs when Scotland was part of a sub-tropical island in the Middle Jurassic period. Scientists found its wings, shoulders, leg and backbone embedded in limestone rock on a beach. Only the skull was missing. To protect it, the fragile fossil was transported from Skye in the researchers’ backpacks.
This creature is called Ceoptera meaning mist in Scottish Gaelic. Fossils from this era are extremely rare, and the discovery changes what’s known about the flying reptiles. Experts now believe they lived much earlier and had a global distribution. It had been thought that they mostly lived in China. The fossil was found in 2006, but it took years of painstaking work to extract it from the hard rock for classification.

The artwork on the right is made from waste. It was created by Pascale MarthineTayou, 21 artist from West Africa. He often used recycled waste materials such as plastic bags, or things collected on his travels to make the artwork.
By using these materials, 22 (he) works question environmental problems like global waste. Pascale’s artwork Plastic Bog Tree is 23 (place) in art galleries (美术馆). The branches (树枝) are covered in brightly coloured plastic 24 (bag). The colourful trees remind people of the increasing waste 25 the poor relationship the modem world has with nature.
Humans invented plastic but it has a much 26 (long) life than its inventors. We can make choices about 27 we buy. And we can buy less.
An English philosopher called Mary Wollstonecraft, who was born in 1759, was very 28 (interest) in how people spent their money. She 29 (try) to encourage people to think hard about what they really needed before they made the decision to buy. If we buy less, then we waste less! So, reducing waste is not a new idea but it is one that we need to think about 30 (creative), because now there is much waste that Mary would never have imagined!

23．句意：Pascale的艺术作品《塑料沼泽树》被放置在美术馆中。分析句子，主语“Pascale’s artwork Plastic Bog Tree”与动词place之间是被动关系，所以此处应用动词过去分词与be动词is构成一般现在时被动语态，故填placed。
24．句意：树枝上覆盖着色彩鲜艳的塑料袋。根据“The branches (树枝) are covered...”可知，此处应用复数形式，故填bags。
