The face was fatty round, with reddish cheeks and blue eyes. If the rock where the woman sat had not been so dangerous for swimmers, Munro would have thought it was human. After a few minutes it dropped into the sea and swam away. Others had seen it too.The island of Benbecula in the outer Hebrides, about 1830, women cutting seaweed reported they had met a creature of female form playing happily off the shore. A few days later her dead body was found two miles from where she had first been seen. The description of the creature was recorded thus, “the upper part of the creature was about the size of a wellfed child of three or four years of age, with an extraordinarily developed breast. The hair was long, dark and glossy(有光泽), while the skin was white, soft and tender. The lower part of the body was like a salmon(鲑鱼)”1From the description given by the witnesses, we know that _.A. mermaids did existB. mermaids shaped like femalesC. mermaids looked terribleD. mermaids shaped like fish答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据“he first thought was a naked woman”和“had met a creature of female form.”可知美人鱼具有女人的体形。2This passage most probably comes from _.A. scientific books B. tales collectionC. travel guide D. fishing webpages答案与解析：B主旨大意题。本文主要介绍美人鱼目击证人对它的描述，这只是传说，所以B项为最佳选项。3Which of the following is TRUE?A. The school master and the women saw a mermaid in the same year.B. The school master saw a mermaid swimming in the sea.C. The women saw a mermaid swimming in the sea.D. It was said that mermaids developed from salmons.答案与解析：C推理判断题。off the shore指“离海岸不远的水中”。且文中提及的是women，不是school master。4Which of the following is WRONG?A. Not all the people believe they were mermaids.B. People have taken photos of the creature.C. The creature in the second case looked like a woman with a fishs tail.D. Both of these two tales may not be true.答案与解析：B推理判断题。文中没有提到为它们拍照，C项在最后几句可以看到，A和D两项都属于不确定的推断，符合本文的表达内容。BUnlike modern animal scientists, dinosaur scientists cannot sit on a hillside and use telescopes to watch dinosaurs in order to know how they lived and whether they were good parents. Instead, they have to search hard for information from dinosaurs fossils(恐龙化石) because dinosaurs died out millions of years ago.Its very difficult for the scientists to reach an agreement because different results can be got from the same fossils. Many fossils of the same kind of dinosaurs have been dug out from one place. They might have formed when an entire group of dinosaurs got stuck(陷入) all at once, or they might have been the result of dinosaurs getting stuck one after another over a course of a few centuries. Thus we can say that dinosaurs might have in the first case lived in big groups and in the second lived alone.Though there are two different results, dinosaur scientists now generally agree that at least some kinds of dinosaurs lived in big groups. “Thats pretty much settled at this point.” says Paul Sereno. A kind of dinosaurs called Sauropods left behind tracks in the western United States that appear to run north and south, suggesting that they even moved long distances together.As to whether dinosaurs cared for their young, dinosaur scientists have turned to the closest living relatives of dinosaursbirds and crocodilesfor possible models. Birds give a lot of care to their young, while crocodiles just help their young to the water. The discovered fossils of dinosaurs sitting on their eggs and staying with their young suggest the parents were taking care of their babies, but we still cannot say that all dinosaurs did the same.There is still a long way to go before the above questions could be answered. Dinosaur scientists will have to find more proof to reach an agreement.5Dinosaur scientists can get information directly by _.A. studying dinosaur fossilsB. examining modern animalsC. watching dinosaursD. using telescopes答案与解析：A细节理解题。根据第一段中“they have to search hard for information from dinosaurs fossils”可知研究恐龙的科学家通过研究恐龙化石来得到一些信息，故A项正确。6What is pretty much settled according to Paul Sereno?A. Half of the dinosaurs lived alone.B. Most dinosaurs moved long distances.C. Many dinosaurs settled in the north.D. Some dinosaurs lived in big groups.答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据第三段“dinosaur scientists now generally agree that at least some kinds of dinosaurs lived in big groups.”可知Paul Sereno说科学家们都认为至少某些种类的恐龙群居，故D项正确。7Dinosaur scientists can probably know whether dinosaurs were good parents by _.A. watching many kinds of animalsB. studying dinosaurs living relativesC. following the tracks left behindD. working on dugout dinosaur eggs答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据第四段“dinosaur scientists have turned to the closest living relatives of dinosaursbirds and crocodilesfor possible models.”可知科学家们通过研究现存的恐龙的近亲鸟类和鳄鱼来判断恐龙是否能照看好他们的幼崽。8Which of the following is TRUE according to the 4th paragraph?A. Birds hardly pay attention to their young.B. Baby crocodiles can look after themselves well.C. Some dinosaurs took care of their young.D. Birds and crocodiles take good care of their young.答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据第四段中可知鸟类很好地照顾幼鸟，而鳄鱼只是帮助幼崽进入水里，并没有很好地照顾幼崽。化石表明一些恐龙照顾幼崽，但并不能说所有的恐龙都是如此，因此C项符合题意。.七选五阅读How to sing better if you think you are badHave you ever had those times when one of your relatives or friends wanted to hear your singing voice, but you were afraid because you think your singing voice is bad?
