三、 阅读理解
21. Researchers are trying to figure out exactly when and where a lizard got trapped in the sap(汁、液) of a tree. Over time, the tree sap turned into amber (琥珀), preserving the lizard’s mains, which a man discovered and donated to the Miller Museum of geology at Queen’s University. But the man didn’t report the amber’s age and where he got it.
“The man who donated it died, unfortunately,” said Ellen Handyside, an undergraduate student at Queen’s University. “We are really starting from scratch in determining its history Ellen Handyside is leading the research into the amber-surrounded lizard. She and her colleagues analyzed the chemical composition of the 4.7-inch -long piece of amber and learned some facts. “The amber wasn’t actually artificial,” she told Live Science, “and we found that it did match up quite well to an amber sample.”
The researchers analyzed the amber's carbon and hydrogen isotopes(同位素) and the results indicated that the amber was formed from the sap of a flowering tree. Moreover, the results suggested that the tree and the lizard, for that matter, lived in an area with a lot of rainfall and dated to the Neogene, a period that lasted from the end of the Paleogene Period 23.03 million years ago to the beginning of the present Quatemary Period. Next, the scientific team realized that the 2.7-inch-long lizard was likely a gecko(壁虎), according to a detailed, 3D, digital model of the animal’s body that the researchers created through X-ray microscopy scans.
“We looked at the skull ---the teeth are in place and the ear bones are there too. And we’ve even got some flesh, skin and its long toes,” Handyside said. “It’s fantastic!” She said she hoped that they could figure out how the creature fit into the gecko family tree. “When you think of a gecko, you think of short and fat toes and sticky pads. That isn’t what we’re looking at, but it’s more likely to live in trees. If it were a tree-living creature, then its death actually could make more sense,” Handyside said.
12. What can probably be inferred about the amber?
A. It was obtained by a museum at a low price.
B. Its original owner knew nothing about it.
C. It was found to be a unique type of amber.
D. Its donor didn't say much about its history.
13. What was found about the lizard through studying isotopes?
A. Its category. B. Its shape. C. Its living habit. D. Its living surroundings.
14. What can we learn from Handyside’s words?
A. The Lizard's death was caused by a gecko B. The lizard has fat and short toes.
C. The lizard is preserved very well. D. The lizard belongs to the tree living creature.
15. What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?
A. The discovery of a piece of natural amber. B. The mystery about a piece of amber.
C. The research into a piece of amber. D. The meaningful death of a lizard.
参考答案：
12. D    13. D    14. C    15. C

22. 下面文章中有5处需要添加小标题，请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
   A．The danger in using bleaching products
B．Mental damages in changing skin color1
C．The different treatments towards skin color1 s
D．Some beauty care products and soaps contain chemicals
E．Skin lightening is popular
F．Skin bleaching may cause lasting skin damage
61．__________
In many societies, there is often greater acceptance of light skin than dark skin．Light skin may be seen as a mark of beauty, intelligence and success．These beliefs can lead to social pressure even within the same racial or ethnic group, if some members are darker skinned than others．
62．__________
The result is that skin lightening has become a common activity across Africa, Asia and other areas of the world．More and more people with dark skin are using skin-lightening products, even if they may face health risks．They believe that having whiter skin will improve their lives．Many people think they will have a better chance of getting a job or marrying into a better family．Or they want to look like what their society generally considers beautiful．
63．__________
Some beauty care products and soaps contain chemicals that make skin lighter．This process is also called bleaching．But some of the chemicals are extremely dangerous．One of the chemicals has been linked to kidney damage and some kinds of cancer．It also causes low birth weight in babies when mothers use it during pregnancy．Bleaching products make the skin color1 lighter．But after long-term use they can cause problems．They can even make some skin darker．
The chemicals in the products block and break down the natural process that gives color1 to skin． The skin loses its natural barrier to protect against sunlight．Then the skin can become thick and discolor1 ed．Usually the person will use more of the product in an effort to correct the problem, but this only makes it worse．
64．__________
Fatimata Ly treats skin conditions in the Senegalese capital, Dakar．Doctor Ly says skin bleaching has become a problem throughout Senegal．She says the chemicals are now more dangerous because they are stronger．Some cases have resulted in blackened fingernails, infections and permanent skin damage．
65．__________
And these are not the only risks．Experts say some people who change their skin color1 suffer emotional damage．They feel regret and sadness．They feel that instead of risking their health, they should have learned to love and accept their skin color1 as it was．
