Many animals in Australia are not found anywhere else in the world. Because the island continent (大陆) was divided from other continents for many years, these animals developed in different ways.
Many of the animals in Australia are marsupials. Marsupials are animals whose babies are carried in a pouch (育儿袋) on the mother’s body until they are able to care for themselves. The kangaroo is perhaps the best known of the marsupials.
There are over forty kinds of kangaroos, and they come in different ______. The smallest is the musky rat kangaroo. It is about 20 to 30cm long and has a tail without any hair. It weighs between 330 and 680g. The largest of the kangaroos is the red

A baby kangaroo, called a joey, is totally helpless at birth. It is only about 2cm long. The newly born joey immediately makes its way into its mother’s pouch. It remains there until it is old enough to be independent — which can be as long as eight months.

Most scientists agree the Great Sphinx of Giza (吉萨狮身人面像) was built around 2,500 B.C. But John Anthony West says that it’s much older. If he’s right, “everything anybody has learned about ancient civilizations (文明) would have to be completely revised,” he told a magazine.
West, a writer and film-maker, first got interested in ancient history after studying the work of a French researcher. The researcher said Egyptian civilization could have developed as early as 30,000 years ago, rather than 4,500 years ago, as most experts believe.
West joined a scientist to do research together. Their research suggested that the Sphinx had been worn down (磨损) over the years by water, rather than by sand and wind.
Wait a minute? Water? How could that be? The Sphinx is in the Sahara Desert, which has been dry for 12,000 years! However, before that time, it was very green. If it’s true that water wore down the Sphinx, West thinks that it must have been built centuries earlier.
Whether West is right or wrong, it’s important to challenge accepted ideas. That’s how science progresses.
West gave some advice for kids: If you are interested in a topic, read everything you can on it. Do your own research. Don’t always believe everything your teachers tell you. Ask lots of questions, and find your own answers.

( )51. What does the underlined word “revised” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. The place where West did his research.
B. The period when the Sphinx was built.
C. The reason why West holds his opinion.
D. The technology which was used to build the Sphinx.
( )55. Which of the following may the writer agree?
A. Science progresses through giving different opinions.
B. Egyptian civilization should be earlier than we thought.
C. One should do some research before giving their opinions.
D. Kids should ask lots of questions and believe what their teachers say.
C
Most of the time, we know what weather is heading our way — thanks to meteorologists (气象学家). Will it be sunny or rainy, hot or cold? Every day, people turn to the TV, computer, or radio to find out. And every day, meteorologists work hard to predict what the weather will be like.
For some, an interest in weather starts early. It did for Samantha Gibbons, a 10-year-old from the USA. She says she loves watching the weather. Every week, Samantha studies the science behind weather through the Internet. In January, she was the youngest kid to attend the 2015 American Meteorological Society (AMS) Annual Meeting. During the Q&A discussion at the event, she asked the experts how a halo (a ring of light around a moon or sun) appears. One expert answered her question.

“I was very excited to take part in the meeting! It was like I was meant to be there,” said Samantha.
Not only does Samantha study the numbers behind weather, but she also practices speaking on air. As a member of her school’s broadcast (电视节目) club, she helps produce the school’s morning programs. “I love being on TV,” she said.
On September 3, 2014, Samantha made her first TV show on NBC Channel 12 in Phoenix, USA. Before her appearance, she woke up at 4 a.m. to arrive at the station by 5:30 a.m., a typical morning for many meteorologists. “To prepare, I practiced in front of the mirror,” said Samantha. “I learned I needed a lot of practice on camera!” Her future plans are simple: do well in school and practice broadcasting. What’s her advice for other kids interested in becoming meteorologists? “Ask lots of questions,” said Samantha. “Always have faith in what you’re doing and keep pursuing (追求) your dream.”
