Detectives often look for footprints when they try to solve crimes. Scientists use footprints, too—dinosaur footprints when they try to figure out how dinosaurs lived and moved.

Dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago. Today scientists work to solve the mysteries of these ancient animals.

Footprints, or tracks(腳印), are an important way to learn about dinosaurs. Christian Meyer of the Natural History Museum in Basel, Switzerland, calls dinosaur tracks “the closest thing to a movie” of dinosaurs.

“They tell us something about the size of the animal, the way they were walking…they tell us something about their speed,” Meyer said.

Tracks also show that dinosaurs sometimes traveled in groups. Traveling in groups probably helped dinosaurs protect themselves from enemies. Plus, some meat-eating dinosaurs may have hunted in groups, much like wolves do today. Being in a group could help dinosaurs work together to kill large animals.

Dinosaur footprints can be as small as a few inches across, but they can also be as big as a few feet across. Dinosaur footprints have been found throughout the world at over 1,500 sites, including a T. Rex footprint in New Mexico. “Trackways” are groups of footprints.

And scientists aren’t the only ones finding dinosaur tracks—kids can, too! Eleven-year-old Mark Turner and nine-year-old Daniel Helm discovered dinosaur tracks in British Columbia, anada. Soon scientists began studying the tracks.

Scientists and other people interested in studying dinosaurs are working to save the trackways from activities like construction and mining.

The passage mainly tells us that_______.

there were really dinosaurs on the earth millions of years ago

dinosaurs were the most frightening animals in the past

C. dinosaur footprints are important in learning about dinosaurs

why dinosaurs died out millions of years ago

By studying footprints scientists can know the following EXCEPT _______.

A. how big the dinosaur was             B. what color the dinosaur was

C. how fast the dinosaur could run        D. how the dinosaur walked

By working in groups, some meat-eating dinosaurs_______.

   A. made the hunting of large animals easily

   B. could travel a long way without being lost

   C. could protect themselves from being hunted by wolves

   D. could get to a place faster

From the last paragraph we can infer that some human activities like mining_______.

   A. are helpful to the study of dinosaurs

   B. can help scientists solve many mysteries

   C. can lead to the discovery of the footprints

   D. can destroy the footprints of the dinosaur

“We started as a group of friends with the same problem: difficulty in our personal life to manage our time, being always in a hurry.” This thought was recently offered by Bruno to explain the origin of The Art of Living Slowly, an organization that he founded two years ago, with his wife, Ella.

Bruno and Ella said they decided to draw more people’s attention to the overlooked idea that “time is wealth.” On February 19th last year, they created a new holiday, the first Global Day of Slow Living. Despite its ambitious name, the event was limited almost entirely to Italy, where the couple arranged a number of events: a reverse bicycle race in which the last rider was declared the winner; an afternoon of grandfathers reading poetry to children etc.
One Monday in late February, 2008, the couple staged a New York version (版本) of the Day of Slow Living. “It has to be a Monday, the worst day to try to slow down.” Bruno explained. Bruno was wearing a police cap, mirrored sunglasses, and a sandwich board stating, “Watch out! Speed-walking camera is in action!” He flagged down passers-by and handed them postcards printed with fourteen “slowmandments.” For example, No. 4: Write your text message on your cell phone with no symbols and get in the habit of starting with “Dear …” No 7: Avoid being so busy that you don’t have time for yourself. Bruno told the passers-by to read them once a day and keep the doctor away.
Many said, “I can’t do this. New York is too fast.” Bruno admitted. But many stopped, they read and said. “This one is good for me, because trying to slow down is like trying to stop smoking.”
When asked about their plans for the future. Bruno and Ella looked at each other and chanted the name of the city they have chosen for next year’s Global Day of Slow Living, “Tokyo!”
68. The Art of Living Slowly was founded to help people         .
A.understand the truth of life.    B.know the difficulty in managing time
C.a(chǎn)void being in a hurry all the time  D.make friends with the same problem
69. What did Bruno do in New York?
A.He advertised his idea on a sandwich board.
B.He stopped passers-by and delivered postcards.
C.He served as a policeman to prevent accidents.
D.He took photos for the people who walked fast.
70. Which statement may be included in the fourteen “slowmandments” in paragraph 3?
A.Wake up five minutes earlier.  B.Do two things at the same time.
C.Make a habit of writing letters.      D.Don’t work on weekends and relax.
71. What can be inferred from the passage?
A.The new holiday is usually celebrated on a fixed day.
B.Italian grandfathers enjoy reading poetry to children.
C.The couple tend to choose busy cities to promote the idea.
D.New Yorkers have a negative attitude towards slow living.

信息匹配A. Happiness lies in persistent pursuit.
B. Happiness is in your own hand.
C. Self-knowledge is positively related to happiness.
D. Happiness is based on comparison.
E. There does not exist a guide to happiness.
F. Happiness is all about doing what you want to.
以下是5個(gè)人對幸福的看法,請把個(gè)人的看法與上面對幸福的表述匹配起來。
【小題1】 Heather Mccoy
 Entering a bookstore, one cannot help but notice entire shelves devoted to books boating knowledge of the true path to happiness.
 Whether this wave of commercials and books can actually make people happier is the question. Happiness cannot be found by sticking to a narrow set of steps or rules. Finding happiness is not as simple as following a how-to-do handbook. It’s something that every person must find in his or her own way.
【小題2】 Gary Russell
 Does happiness grow proportionally with wealth? Hardly.
 Experiences teaches us material satisfaction comes only when one finds himself wealthier than those around him; and, in a similar manner, one feels of being lowered when facing a billionaire, while a worker with a monthly salary of several hundred dollars becomes the envy of the villagers in remote mountainous regions.
【小題3】 David Niven
 True happiness is not a result from human action. Results are temporary while happiness is everywhere and can neither be created nor destroyed. With true happiness there is no place for disappointments! True happiness may mean pain and restraint in the beginning but will lead to everlasting joy and freedom. To achieve true happiness, we should separate and remove the negatives. True happiness is realized by understanding one’s own self.
【小題4】 Joshua Party
 Happiness is a state of mind. you can be happy in almost any situation. Likewise, you can be unhappy in an equal number of situations.In the end, it’s your decision.
 If one can control one’s unhappiness, then one must be able to control one’s happiness. As far as I know, the human genome project has not been able to identify a single part of any human chromosome(染色體) which is responsible for happiness.
【小題5】 Laura Johnson
 So what makes me a happy person? Studying to be a journalist because I loved to write, not because it pays a lot of money. Skiing in the winter snow and swimming in the summer sun. Spending time with my close friends from home. Being in a stable family. Reading romance novels and watching movies. Having a boyfriend who knows more about rock and roll history than I do.

科目:高中英語 來源:2013屆浙江省協(xié)作體高三摸底測試英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;

     1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?

    There are isolating(使孤立)jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.

2) How do you handle change?

Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.

3) Do you enjoy working with computers?

    I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.

4) What type of work environment do you enjoy?

    This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.

5) How do you like to get paid?

    Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.

    Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

  A. Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.  

  B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily.

  C. Extreme people tend to work with others.

  D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.

2.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean?

   A. Before you select your job, you should assess your skills and match them with your position

   B. There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select job.

   C. Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select job.

   D. You should ignore your skills when you select job.

3.What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?

A. Design.         B. Changes.          C. Cooperation.         D. Hobbies.

4.What is the best title for this passage?

A. Lifestyles and Job Pay                   B. Jobs and Environment

C. Job Skills and Abilities                 D. Personalities and Jobs
