However, their lives were turned upside down when they discovered the jawbone of a Mastodon (齿乳象)Brothers Shawn and Caid Sellers and cousin Michael Mahalitc found the prehistoric bone in a piece of earth that was recently plowed (犁)“I thought it was a log,” Caid said“I tried to pick it up and it was really heavy and I saw teeth on it.” The bone weighed about 50 poundsThey eventually got the bone to their home and fitted it in their tub (浴盆), but it took their collective strength, might and a golf cart, to carry the large Mastodon bone“They didnt expect to find that,” Michaels mom said“Now that they have, I believe that they will be more aware of their surroundings and what theyre digging up when they are digging and playing.”“Weve gotten a lot of petrified (石化的) wood and Civil War relics from the area and thats what I thought it was,”the brothers mother said“This is our first set of teeth weve foundSo we thought it was their imaginationWe were quite surprised to see that it was not their imagination.”They were exploring near the brothers homeSurprisingly, they saw what they thought resembled a fossilIt was the curator of paleontology (古生物负责人) of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, George Phillips, who first identified the bone as a “very mature individual.”The Mastodon was a mammal who lived during the prehistoric timesThey had long tusks and trunks, like elephantsThey were clearly different from their modern-day counterparts, as well as woolly mammoths (猛犸)24How did the three boys find the jawbone of a Mastodon?AWith great effortsBBy chanceCInstructed by an expertDThrough imagination25At first the brothers mother thought the jawbone was Afrom people who died in the Civil WarBthe bone from a very mature individualClike a log or somethingDthe prehistoric bone26The discovery of the jawbone of a Mastodon is important mainly because it Ahelps people to know more about the Civil War Bteaches kids to be more aware of their surroundings Cpromotes the research on more prehistoric creatures Dattracts the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science27Which of the following can be the best title for the article?

This is how young Chinese “go Dutch” these daysscan a QR code and pay their share via smart phones in one easy click.It was the first time most of the 13 people at my dinner table last weekend had used the function on social networking tool WeChat. “It has made going Dutch less embarrassing and so much more fun,” said Zhou Ye, a Beijing-based journalist. “Young people think splitting bills this way is fun, and older ones may find it fashionable to do so.” Most importantly, it saves people the embarrassment of figuring out who owes what.Splitting the bill is a relatively new idea to most Chinese. Its being popular among the young people, but for many older folks, who fear “losing face,” it feels embarrassing. At dinner parties, families and friends often fight over who will cover the expense.Used by 600 million Chinese, WeChat is similar to WhatsApp but has many more features. One of them, WeChat Wallet, allows people to pay for almost any service by smart phones. The bill splitting function was launched last year. Owned by Chinese Internet giant Tencent, the payment platform competes with Alibabas Alipay, which is widely used and also has a bill splitting function.The smart phone apps that rely on these payment platforms have transformed the lives of many urban Chinese. Massages, haircuts, house cleaning, laundry services and personal trainers can be ordered in your own home. Zhao Mengsha, 28, an editor in a magazine, enjoys a manicure (美甲) once every month, and pays half of the price charged in salons. “Its just really convenient,” she said. “I wouldnt have thought about getting a massage at work without the apps.” Like millions of others, Zhao uses Alipay and WeChat to pay for the services. “You can make do without a wallet but cant live without your smart phone when you go out these days,” Zhao said.28What does the underlined phrases “go Dutch” in the first paragraph refer to?A pay a visit to Dutch. B become a person like the Dutch.C share expenses equally. D visit a website called Dutch.29According to the article, why do many old folks “fight” at dinner parties ?A Because they think splitting bills funny.B Because they want to know who is rich.C Because they figure out who owes whatD Because they want to pay the bill.30What do people think about WeChat wallet and Alipay wallet ?A Neither of them will win in the competition.B Both of them are acceptable.C Smart phones with them cost a lot of money.D The payment platform should be improved.31What Zhao said in the last paragraph means _.A the wallets are not necessary any moreB she bought all that she needs through the InternetC she doesnt know how to work with phonesD the smart phone apps change peoples lifeDFrom self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence. The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the reports co-author.“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsofts Jonathan Grudin told researchers.32. We can infer from the text that in the future _.A. people will face many difficultiesB. people will take up more creative jobsC. artificial intelligence will threaten peoples livesD. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces33. According to the report, _.A. people wont necessarily lose jobsB. big companies will face fewer challengesC. small companies will win against big companiesD. most people will become interested in technology34. What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?A. Mixed. B. Worried.C. Hopeful. D. Doubtful.35. Jonathan Grudins words in the last paragraph suggest that _.A. there will be enough jobs for peopleB. things will change a lot in a few yearsC. many people will become unemployedD. technology will totally change future jobs第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips to Stay Safe and Make Smart Choices Even if youre a genius（天才）at school, you still might be lost when it comes to getting from point A to point B.
