17、tury scientists first came across Australias platypus (鸭嘴兽), they thought it was a trick. It is not surprising that the platypus made people confused. This funny-looking animal has feet and is a kind of warm-blooded mammal (哺乳动物) . While other mammals usually keep their blood at around 37 degrees, t
18、he platypus has a lower body temperature of 32 degrees. As to its appearance, the platypusmouth is not really like the ducks; its mouth actually looks a bit softer. The platypus closes its eyes when swimming instead of watching its hunters. It uses its mouth to pick up outside information made by th
19、e creatures underwater. Strangest of all, the platypus is a mammal that can lay eggs. And there is only one other kind of mammal that can lay eggs, the echidna (针鼹鼠) of Australia. Both the platypus and the echidna lay soft-shelled eggs, and both feed their young with their own milk that comes out of
20、 their skin. These animals also walk in a way that is similar to crocodiles (鳄鱼), with legs on the sides of their bodies rather than under them. Though pretty in a special way, the platypus is actually one of the few mammals that are poisonous. A male platypus has knife-like bones on its back legs w
21、hich have enough poison to kill a dog. The platypus has the honor of being one of the oldest mammals in the world. Until the early 20th-century, it was hunted for its fur, but it is now protected.

24、ast paragraph that the platypus is _. A. hunted for its meat B. in danger of extinctionC. endangered because of air pollution D. well-protected now BFor years, school systems across the nation dropped arts to concentrate on getting struggling students to pass tests in reading and math. Yet now, a gr
25、owing body of brain research suggests that teaching arts may be good for students across all subjects. Arts appear to play an important role in brain development. Brain research in the past several years has just began to uncover some surprising ideas about how students learn. Now scientists are inv
26、estigating how training may change the structure of studentsbrains and the way they think. They are asking: Does putting a violin in the hands of an elementary school student help him to do math better? Will learning to dance or paint improve a childs spatial (立体的,空间的) ability or ability to learn to
27、 read? However, research in those areas, Professor Jerome Kagan of Harvard said, is just like a drug for cancer. There arent many conclusions yet that can be translated into the classroom. A four-year study, being carried out by Ellen Winner of Boston College, is looking at the effects playing the p
28、iano or the violin has on students who are in elementary school. Winner said she was quite skeptical (怀疑的) of claims that schools that had introduced the arts had seen an increase in test scores. She had previously looked at such claims and found they couldnt be backed up by research. Winner also ha
29、s studied the effects of music on attention. What she found was that in those students who showed motivation and creativity, training in arts helped develop their attention. Even without research though, Winner said the value of an arts education is doubtless, for so many children who arent good at

33、ivation and creativity easily focused their attention.

35、 only to the art of singing, dancing, expression, and martial arts to develop comprehensive (综合的) roles. Mei designed various kinds of dances to help express the character of the roles he played.

36、roduce Erhu, a two-stringed musical instrument, into the Peking Opera.

43、sts, including a member of the original trip, has returned to the same sites to repeat the survey. They have found that, due to rising temperatures, the insects now live 68 meters higher. Global warming is forcing tropical (热带的) species uphill to escape the rising temperatures at a rate of nearly 2
44、meters a year, the new study from Borneo suggests. Since this was the only chance to repeat the original survey, the scientist did everything they could to do it exactly the same way, going at the same time of year, in July and August, using photographs to find the exact original sites of the moth t
45、raps. While this is the first study of insects, a few other studies of tropical species are starting to appear, said Thomas. If you look across all those studies, youll find the same results, and its extremely difficult to think of any other explanation for them. While some species might survive by
46、finding places on the mountains with temperatures similar to those of their original habitats, others may run out of habitat on the rocky peaks, warns the study. In a paper in the journal Naturein 2004, Thomas and 13 other experts analyzed the habitats of 1,100 species on five continents, and estima
47、ted that on average one quarter were at risk of extinction.

54、ossible version:) Last June, the government issued a ban on plastic bags in supermarkets. Great changes have taken place. Some supermarkets began to offer paper bags.

55、 see white plastic bags thrown here and there. Our living environment has become cleaner and more beautiful. However, some markets still offer free plastic bags, and some customers, thinking only of the convenience, are unwilling to take bags when they go shopping there.
