Mary Anning was an English fossil(化石) collector, dealer and paleontologist(古生物学
家). Her fossil-hunting helped change the way people thought about the world.
Mary was born into a poor family in England on May 21, 1799. She lived in the seaside
town of Lyme Regis, in Dorset. The family had nine children. Only Mary and her brother Joseph grew up. Mary’s father too his children along the beach. They piced up shells and stones to sell to visitors. Mary did not go to school much. Her family was too poor. And schools did not teach children about fossils. Mary could read and write.

In 1811 when Mary and Joseph were fossil hunting, Joseph saw a bone sticing out of the
roc. Mary had a hammer to chip away at the roc. Very carefully she uncovered it. She found the first complete fossil of the ichthyosaur(鱼龙).
Since then, Mary became cray about fossil hunting. She lied to hunt on the beach after a
storm. The wind, rain and waves made the rocs crumble. It was easy to spot fossils. Most days Mary went fossil hunting with her dog, Tray.
Rich friends helped Mary by selling fossils for her. They sent her money. Scientists
wrote letters and came to see her. One good friend was William Bucland, a professor at Oford University. Mary also opened a shop to sell fossils, stones and shells. She chatted with visitors.
Mary Anning died in1847. How evolution(进化) wors was eplained by Charles Darwin

Petrol and diesel cars may still dominate(影响) our roads, but their days are numbered.
A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 per cent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 per cent by 2020.
One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range aniety”—drivers’
concerns about running out of juice on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary networ of electric charging stations is still being developed. In fact, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.
Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few
years. Not that long ago, electric cars met with distrust, and their high price tags drove customers away. Thans to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the
current generation of electric cars is starting to persuade critics. Plug-in cars will soon give internal combustion engine models a run for their money.
As well as advancements on the road, electric vehicles are taing to the sea and sy.
Electric boats are among the oldest electric vehicles, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors too over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats bac. Steps towards electric planes are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organiations developing and testing battery-powered planes. The eperiments could soon mae commercial electric flight a reality.
Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions. Were the US to act on the study’s
findings and replace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent. However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim to be completely emission-free. Even so, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.
28. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. My Dream Car B. History of Electric Cars C. Problems with Petrol Cars D. Driving into the Future 29. The underlined word “hurdle” in Paragraph 2 means ________. A. aim B. barrier C. consequence D. step
30. In the past, why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars according to the passage? A. They were not good value. B. They were very poorly made. C. They were not widely promoted D. They couldn’t travel at a high speed. 31. What is the function of Paragraph 4?
A. To introduce the history of electric vehicles.
B. To eplain why the world needs more electric cars.
C. To show why more people have interest in electric cars D. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.
D
Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the
goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistaes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying, “Tae the etra minute to do it right.” I
always try to live by the “etra minute” rule. When my children were young and liely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor lie moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more wor such as taping padding(衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.
I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally
important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all now people who lost a loved one
