Part 3 Reading and Writing (第三部分 读写)
VI. Reading comprehension (阅读理解) (共50分)
A. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) (12分)
New research has found the longest living animal on Earth with a backbone is a shark. The research, published in Science Magazine, found the Greenland shark is the longest living animal with a backbone in the world. The gray-colored sharks live in the cold water of the Arctic and are named after Greenland, the world’s largest island. After examining one of these sharks, scientists decided it was born in the icy water about 400 years ago and died out recently.
An international team of biologists and physicists was able to estimate (估计) the ages of 28 dead female Greenland sharks by studying the lenses of their eyes. It is a new way to learn the age of an animal. Eight of the sharks were probably 200 years old or more, and could even have been 300 years old. That would make them older than some whales, which earlier were believed to have been the oldest animals at about 211 years old, according to the Associated Press.
This discovery also means that Greenland sharks can live more than three times longer than humans. Many people these days can expect to live into their eighties. African elephants average about 70 years. The oldest of the Greenland sharks the scientists studied was nearly 5 meters long. It was thought to have been 392 years old when it was caught four years ago. However, because the testing method is so new, it is not exact.
The study’s lead author is Julius Nielsen, a marine biologist from Denmark. He says the 392 number could have an error range of 120 years in either direction. That means the shark was probably born sometime between the years 1500 and 1740, with 1620 being the most likely.
'It's an estimate. It's not a determination,' Nielsen said. 'It is the best we can do.'
Even at the lowest age, the shark would have been 272 years old when it died and still would be the longest-living animal with a backbone, Nielsen said.
'I don't know why they get as old, but I hope someone will find out,' Nielsen said. 69. According to Science Magazine, the Greenland shark ________.
A) is the longest living animal on earth C) is an animal with a backbone
B) rarely lives in the cold water of the Arctic D) still lives in the icy water now
70. A new way to learn the age of a female animal is _______.
A) to estimate it by a biologist
B) to examine its skin
D) to discover the place of its birth
C) to study the lenses of its eyes
71. The discovery means if people live into eighties, the shark might live into _______ years old.
A) almost 200
B) less than 211
