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 in1847. How evolution(进化) works was explained by Charles Darwin not long
after Mary died. Her fossils had helped scientists understand how things began.
24. Why did Mary’s father take his children along the beach?
A. To enjoy life. B. To make a living.
C. To look for fossils. D. To teach them about fossils.
25. What can we learn about Mary?
A. Her father was a paleontologist. B. Her father educated her at home.
C. She had nine brothers and sisters in all. D. She might be popular at that time.
26. Who was the first one to catch sight of the rock containing the first complete ichthyosaur fossil?
A. Charles Darwin. B. Mary’s dog. C. Mary. D. Joseph.
27. What does the underlined word “crumble” in the fourth paragraph means ?
A. break B. shake C. float D. dive

The Ig Nobel awards are usually known as the "Igs" and are given out every year at around the
same time as the real Nobel awards. The "Igs" are given for achievements that "make people laugh, and
then make them think". The name “Ig Nobel" is a language joke. "Nobel" sounds like "noble" ---
meaning "very honored". And Ig Nobel sounds like “ignoble" meaning the opposite of noble --- that is,
“not honored”.
According to Marc Abrahars, who co-founded the award in 1991, "Most prizes, such as Nobel
Prize, reward the goodness of the people who receive them. These prizes are meant to honor the
extremes of humanity-those whose achievements should be seen as very good."
"The Ig Nobel Prize isn't like that. The Ig honors the great confusion in which most of us exist
much of the time. Life is confusing. Good and bad get all mixed up. If you win an Ig, it shows that you
have done something. What that thing is may be hard to explain. But the fact is, you did it, and have
been recognized for doing it."
The Nobel science prizes encourage us to think that all over the world great discoveries are being
made that will do good to the whole world. But real science is not like that. The main job of science is
to find out what is not true. This leads people into areas of research that seem completely senseless.
Why did a team of Japanese scientists spend months trying to teach birds to enjoy the paintings of
Picasso? Why did a Norwegian biologist start a project to encourage insects to drink beer? It is hard to
say. But it won them all an Ig.
Sometimes science tells us things that we don’t want or need to know. We don't want to know that
falling in love and going mad are exactly the same as far as the brain is concerned. And we don't really
need to know that worrying about money can cause tooth disease. Only the Ig award brought these great
achievements to our attention.
28. What does the underlined word "that" in the 3rd paragraph refer to?
A. The prize meaning noble and honored.
B. The owners who are rare and talented.
C. The achievement seen as very good.
D. The biggest confusion in our life.
29. What's the author's attitude to Ig Nobel awards?
A. He thinks it's a foolish award.
B. He believes it's a funny joke.
C. He disapproves of its purpose.
D. He approves of its ideas. 3
30. Why are there researches that seem completely senseless?
A. People need to make great discoveries.
B. People are encouraged by the great honor.
C. People love both birds and Picasso's works.
D. People want to know about the truth in life.
31. The main difference between the Ig Nobel awards and the Nobel prize lies in ___.
A. how science should be made use of
B. how science should be thought of
C. how science should be developed
D. how science should be studied
D
If you live in Shanghai, you might have to take a “lesson” in sorting garbage, as the city recently
introduced new garbage-sorting regulations. It’s now required that people should sort garbage into four
categories, namely recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. However, if people fail to sort their garbage
properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan. More cities are introducing similar regulations, following
the practice in Shanghai. By the end of 2020, garbage-sorting systems will have been built in 46 major
Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shenzhen, reported People’s Daily.
According to a study by the Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy, under the
Ministry of Ecology and Environment, over 90 percent of the public believe that garbage sorting is
important for the protection of the environment. However, garbage sorting is still a big problem in
China. Only 30 percent of participants said they think they are adequately sorting their trash, the study
noted.
According to Xinhua News Agency, it’s partly because many people lack the willingness to sort
their own waste. In the past, some previous garbage regulations didn’t give clear fines for people who
failed to sort garbage. “It’s a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting.” Liu Jianguo, a
professor from Tsinghua University, told China Daily. He also added “the importance of the new
regulations in Shanghai is to change the past voluntary action into compulsory action for everyone.”
Aside from China, many other foreign countries have also introduced garbage-sorting regulations.
In Japan, waste sorting has become a basic survival skill, reported Xinhua. There is a fixed time for
disposal of each kind of garbage and littering can result in high fines and even jail time. In Germany
too, people are asked to sort waste into specific categories, reported HuffPost. For example, in Berlin,
people have yellow bins for plastic and metals and blue bins for paper and cardboard.
32. What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A. Poisonous waste belongs to four categories in sorting.
B. People will be fined not less than 200 yuan.
C. All the cities use the same regulations as Shanghai.
D. Shanghai works as a pioneer in garbage sorting.
33. Which statement is true according to the passage?
A. Garbage-sorting system have been built in 46 major cities.
B. Not all the public attach importance to garbage sorting.
C. People aren’t fined clearly if they fail to sort garbage now.
D. People may be put in prison because of littering in Germany.
34. What can be inferred from Liu Jianguo’s words?
A. He thinks highly of the legal regulations in garbage sorting.
B. The sorting action should be changed from compulsory to voluntary.
C. Legal guarantee is a must to promote garbage sorting.
D. There is a growing concern over garbage sorting worldwide.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Shanghai Puts Garbage-sorting Into Practice
B. Regulations Are of Great Importance
C. Garbage Is Hard to Recycle Appropriately
D. Cities Get Serious About Waste

When dining out at a restaurant, 39 . They think the food is somehow “tainted” once they’ve

4. When you get into a taxi
Britons will give the cab driver an address, then assume that’s it for the interaction until it’s time to
pay. Even if they’re being taken in a roundabout way, 40 . In the US, however, most passengers
think nothing of telling the driver what route to take after telling him or her the destination.
