• 2．Born into poverty on 21 May 1799，Mary Anning had to work hard from a young age.Her parents had 10 children，of whom only two survived childhood -Mary and her elder brother Joseph.Mary's own survival was said by her parents to be a wonder.At the age of 15 months，a sudden rainstorm hit the shelter，where Mary，her babysitter，and two children stayed.A lightning strike killed them all except Mary.
     She didn't have formal education and was only taught to read at a Sunday school.Raised in the seaside holiday village of Lyme Regis in Dorset，Mary and Joseph made a living by selling fossils to holidaymakers at their father's waterfront booth.
     Her life changed in 1811 when Joseph noticed bones mixed together with rock.Unknown to them，this was the first ever discovery of an ichthyosaurus（魚龍），a marine lizard from the Triassic period.Anning noted down every find she made，and after failing to find any new fossils for over a year，in 1821 she made her next discovery，digging up three more ichthyosaur skeletons.This was followed two years later by an even more impressive find-a complete plesiosaur（蛇頸龍）.This was so extraordinary that many leading scientists declared it a counterfeit，unwilling to believe that an uneducated 24-year-old could find such remarkable remains.Additionally，society at the time was highly religious and many rejected these discoveries as they conflicted with the teachings of the Bible.
     Despite the setback，Anning continued to make more shocking revelations.Anning also dug up fossilized shit，which made experts know the diets of prehistoric creatures.But her biggest find of all was the first complete skeleton of a pterosaur in 1828.
     All of Mary Anning's discoveries helped influence the study of paleontology（古生物學(xué)）as scientists began to take an increased interest in fossilized animals and plants.Her work also encouraged people to question the history of the Earth in more detail and encouraged girls and those from poor backgrounds by proving that they could succeed in scientific study，a profession mainly controlled by wealthy upper-class men.
  
  （1）What can we learn about Mary Anning from the first two paragraphs？

  
  A．It was not easy for her to survive.
  B．She didn't experience the lightning strike.
  C．She didn't get basic knowledge about science.
  D．It was impossible for her to find a job outside.
  （2）What does the underlined word "counterfeit" in Paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．Something not needed.
  B．Something not valuable.
  C．Something not authentic.
  D．Something not beneficial.
  （3）Anning's findings of fossilized shit helped

  .
  A．her get international fame
  B．make her become more professional
  C．experts better understand prehistoric creatures
  D．convince the leading scientists of her discovery
  （4）The last paragraph mainly wants to show

  .
  A．the process of her findings
  B．the significance of her discoveries
  C．the discoveries of fossilized animals
  D．the background of her scientific study

• 3．Humans are not the only ones that like gold.Australian scientists have discovered a new fungus（真菌）that decorates its long，thread-like tendrils（卷須）with gold collected from the soil.The experts desperately hope the "gold digger" will provide information on the locations of gold deposits（沉淀物） and make searching for the precious metal easier，and more environmentally friendly.
     The gold-loving fungus was discovered accidentally by a team of researchers led by Dr.Tsing Bohu，a scientist at Australia national science agency，CSIRO，when they were examining the microbes（微生物）in the soil at Boddington，a tiny town home to Australia's largest gold mine.
     A closer analysis suggested that the fungus uses chemical interactions with underground minerals to accumulate gold from its surroundings.Though fungi often interact with other things in nature，the reaction with gold was unexpected. "Fungi are well-known for playing an important role in the recycling of organic material，such as leaves and bark，as well as for the cycling of other metals，" Dr.Bohu explained. "But gold is so chemically inactive that this interaction is both unusual and surprising."
     The fungi are not wearing the gold for beauty. "There is a biological benefit from this reaction." Dr.Bohu said， "Gold-loving fungi can grow faster and bigger relative to other fungi that don't work with gold."
     The researchers still need to conduct further analysis to understand the relationship between the fungi and the precious metal.More importantly，they need to determine if its presence is a sure sign of the existence of large deposits of the metal underground.The scientists also believe the fungi could be used to detect the presence of gold in waste products and man-made electronics.
     However，those hoping to get free gold from the fungi are in for a disappointment，for the delicate fungus is hard to see.Also，its gold can only be seen under a microscope.
  
  （1）What are the experts starved of？

  
  A．Investigating the sites.
  B．Excavating the gold mines.
  C．Getting further informed.
  D．Unearthing gold deposits.
  （2）What could be learned according to Dr.Bohu？

  
  A．Fungi's interaction with gold is unexpected but beneficial.
  B．Gold's classification is biologically identified by fungi.
  C．Fungi's formation with gold is fairly natural and frequent.
  D．Gold is chemically accumulated by fungi's evolution.
  （3）How does the author find the finding？

  
  A．It excites the gold diggers' motivation.
  B．It has a long way to go before confirmation.
  C．It lays the foundation of geological studies.
  D．It ensures the search of gold sites.
  （4）What can be the suitable title for the text？

  
  A．Beauty-loving Fungi Wrapped by Gold
  B．Gold-loving Fungi Discovered in Australia
  C．Boddington，Austria's Largest Gold Mine
  D．New Discovery of Gold with Fungi
