Because the island continent (大陆) was divided from other continents for many years, these animals developed in different ways.Many of the animals inAustraliaare marsupials. Marsupials are animals whose babies are carried in a pouch (育儿袋) on the mothers body until they are able to care for themselves. The kangaroo is perhaps the best known of the marsupials.n different _. The smallest is the musky rat kangaroo. It is about 20 to 30cm long and has a tail without any hair.

Where shall we most probably read this passage?A. In a novel. B. In a guidebook.C. In science fiction.D. In a nature magazine.B 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 its much older. If hes right,“everything anybody has learned about ancient civilizations (文明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 its true that water wore down the Sphinx, West thinks that it must have been built centuries earlier.Whether West is right or wrong, its important to challenge accepted ideas. Thats 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. Dont always believe everything your teachers tell you. Ask lots of questions, and find your own answers.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。( )51. What does the underlined word “revised” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Connected.

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 waythanks to meteorologists (气象学家he 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!

As a member of her schools broadcast (电视节目) club, she helps produce the schools 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.
