The black woman, however, turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man. “By sitting down, ”remarked John Lewis, “she was standing up for all Americans. ”Among the numerous awards Parks received in her life were the Presidential Medal of Freedom(1996)and the Congressional Gold Medal(1999).Parks died on Oct. 24, 2020. At St. Paul A. M. E. Church in Montgomery, a large crowd including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice celebrated her life. Rice said she and others, who grew up when the political activities of Parks held public attention, might not haverealized her impact(影响)on their lives, “but I can honestly say that without Mrs. Parks, I probably would not be standing here as Secretary of State. ”After her casket(灵柩)was placed at the Capitol, U.

Theyre quite small and have no opening to the outside world carrying sound through the body. For the past seven years, Simon Thorrold, a university professor, has been examining fish ears, small round ear bones called otoliths. As fish grow, so do their otoliths. Each day, their otoliths gain a ring of calcium carbonate(碳酸钙).By looking through a microscope(显微镜)and counting these rings, Thorrold can determine the exact age of a young fish. As a fish gets older, its otoliths no longer get daily rings. Instead, they get yearly rings, which can also be counted, giving information about the fishs age, just like the growth rings of a tree. Ring counting is nothing new to fish scientists. But Thorrold has turned to a new direction. Theyre examining the chemical elements(元素)of each otolith ring. The daily ring gives us the time, but chemistry tells us about the environment in which the fish swam on any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry of the water that the fish was in. It also says something about water temperature, which determines how much of these elements will gather within each otolith ring. Thorrold can tell, for example, if a fish spent time in the open ocean before entering the less salty water of coastal areas. He can basically tell where fish are spending their time at any given stage of history. In the case of the Atlantic croaker, a popular saltwater food fish, Thorrold and his assistant have successfully followed the travelling of young fish from mid-ocean to the coast, a journey of many hundreds of miles. This is important to managers in the fish industry, who know nearly nothing about the whereabouts of the young fish for most food fish in the ocean. Eager to learn about his technology, fish scientists are now lending Thorrold their ears.8. What can we learn about fish ears from the text? _.A. They are small soft rings. B. They are not seen from the outside.C. They are openings only on food fish. D. They are not used to receive sound.9. Why does the writer compare the fish to trees? _.A. Trees gain a growth ring each day. B. Trees also have otoliths.C. Their growth rings are very small. D. They both have growth rings.10. Why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith rings? _.A. The elements of the otoliths can tell the history of the sea.B. Chemical contents of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim.C. We can know more about fish and their living environment.D. Scientists can know exactly how old a fish is.11. How would you understand “fish scientists are now lending their ears”? _.A. They are very interested in Thorrolds research findings.B. They want to know where they can find fish.C. They lend their fish for chemical studies.D. They wonder if Thorrold can find growth rings from their ears.四、作文直通车：（广东四会中学2020届高三第一次质量检测英语试题读写任务）在全国“两会”上，“农村留守儿童” 问题成为人大代表和政协委员普遍关注的热门话题之一。请阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。In China, with one or two parents going out to earn money, many children are left in their hometown in the countryside.
