WASHINGTON(AP)—Good news for dinosaur fans:There are probably a lot more of them waiting to be discovered.At least,their fossils are.
Peter Dodson of the University of Pennsylvania and Steve Wang of Swarthmore College estimate that 71 percent of all dinosaur genera(种类)—groups of dinosaur species—have yet to be discovered.
“It’s a safe bet that a child born today could expect a very fruitful career in dinosaur paleontology(古生物学),”Dodson said in a statement.
The estimate appears in Tuesday’s issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Dodson—a professor of anatomy at Penn’s School of Veterinary Medicine and professor at Penn’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences—first estimated the potential number of dinosaur genera in 1990 and is revising that upward.
The estimates are based on the rates of discovery—about 10 to 20 annually—and the recent increase in finds of fossils in China,Mongolia and South America.
Dodson suggests that 1,850 genera will eventually be discovered.So far 527 genera have been found.
Fossilization itself is a rare event,they note,and as many as half of the dinosaur genera that ever existed may have left no remains.
“I would never suggest that this prediction.however statistically(统计上地)sound.is the final word on dinosaur diversity,“Dodson added.”My intention is to fuel the discussion using the facts at hand,and this is the best estimate we can make with the data available.”
56.The best title for the passage would be______________.
A.Much more dinosaur once lived on the earth
B.Good news for dinosaur fans
C.A very fruitful career in dinosaur paleontology
D.Dinosaurs remain to be discovered

A.The author of the passage. B.Steve Wang.

58.Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.The number of dinosaur fans is getting larger and larger.
B.More dinosaur fossils are expected to be found in future.
C.The estimate was based on plenty of facts of dinosaur paleontology.
D.Not all the dinosaur genera left their fossils.
59.It can be inferred from the text that______________.
A.dinosaurs will return to the world once again
B.about 3700 dinosaur genera once lived on the earth
C.only half of the dinosaur fossils have been found so far
D.all dinosaur fossils have been find in China.Mongolia and South America

Students in America have to get required credits (学分) in order to graduate. The average workload at my school, Hotchkiss, is five courses. But at a school full of overachievers (成绩超过预料的学生), it’s very common to see people taking six or more classes.
I am currently taking six and half classes, including Advanced Placement (AP) Physics, Senior English, AP art, piano (with music history and theory), chorus, US history and AP economics. AP is the more advanced level of courses. It's usually equivalent to first year college courses.
By taking the AP exams in May every year, high school students in America get credits for college. In the US, most science classes are designed for one year. For example, we are covering the same amount of material in my AP physics class as we did in three years in China. The difference is that here, we get a broad education without studying the subjects in depth. Because of the fast speed, students are expected to study more independently.
Teachers won’t go through everything in class. But if you want to have an in-depth study of a subject, you could design your own independent study with an instructor.
As part of our graduation requirements, every student not only has to take US history for one year but also has to write a research paper on a certain topic. Thus, during the whole winter term, my close friends became the library and five thick books on the historic meeting between US President Richard Nixon and Chairman Mao in 1972.My research paper turned out to be 13 pages long and I made a lot of note cards in the process of researching. We took classes on how to write scholarly essays, how to narrow down a topic, how to find sources and how to cite (引证) properly.
In America, academic honesty is considered incredibly important. Paraphrasing (改述) a scholarly work without proper citation (引用) is regarded as academic dishonesty and may get you into trouble with the school’s discipline committee.
1.What does the underlined word “equivalent” in the second paragraph mean?
A.near B.equal C.opposite D.certain
2.Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.American high school students spend only a year’s time studying physics as we do in
China.
B.In American high schools, students are expected to study more by themselves.
C.In American high schools teachers will explain everything clearly to students.
D.In America, when it comes to a research paper, proper citation is not important.
3.From the passage we can infer that the author is a (an) ______ student.
A.diligent B.lazy C.excellent D.clever
4.In the passage, the author mainly tells us about ______.
A.the differences between American school life and Chinese school life.
B.courses in American high schools
C.graduation requirements for American high school students
D.American school workload
