专题07 阅读回答问题10篇

Answer the questions.(根据短文内容完整回答下列问题) 

Have you heard about “Survival (生存) Holidays”? “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. 

Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents. The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games, but “Survival Holidays” can change them a lot. 

Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled(控制) by adults, but children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them. Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.

More than 65 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous Period(白垩纪), many species died off during a global disaster often called the K-Pg extinction. The end of the Cretaceous Period saw some very big changes in Earth’s oceans and on its lands. It wiped out up to 80% of all animal species, including the dinosaurs. But 20% of the animals that were alive with the dinosaurs did survive. What were these amazing animals? How and why did they survive while so many others disappeared forever? Behold the survivors of the K-Pg mass extinction.

Spider (Arachnid)

The earliest web-spinning arachnids (蛛形纲动物)produced silk from their abdomens about 386 million years ago. These ancient arachnids are closely related to today’s spiders. The original function of spider webs was probably to wrap eggs in a protective covering. Later, spiders evolved to use their silk to spin webs for catching prey. This ingenious invention helped them save energy while hunting and made it easier for them to survive.

Dragonflies (Meganeura 巨脉蜻蜓

Today these flying insects have wings with a span of about 6 inches. But the earliest dragonflies used to grow to huge sizes 325 million years ago. The Meganeura dragonfly had a wingspan of almost 27 inches and would have dwarfed the largest modern dragonfly. In the oxygen-rich swamp environment of the Cretaceous, their large size helped Meganeura to absorb needed oxygen. But after the K-Pg extinction, the air and water contained less oxygen. Dragonflies adapted to their new environment by becoming smaller.

Crocodile (Sarcosuchus 帝王鳄

The largest Sarcosuchus from the Cretaceous was 39 feet long. This is three times longer than the biggest modern crocodile. Crocodiles are predators and have probably hunted in much the same way for the past 225 million years. They have survived all this time by matching their relatively small size with their extremely powerful jaws that produce a great biting force.

Answer the following questions in complete sentences.

6.When did the K-Pg extinction happen?

_________________________________________________________________________

7.How did spiders survive?

_________________________________________________________________________

8.What were Meganeura’s large-sized wings used for?

_________________________________________________________________________

9.Dragonflies didn’t become smaller to adapt to the new environment, did they?

_________________________________________________________________________

10.Compared with crocodiles today, did crocodiles 225 millions ago hunt differently or similarly?

_________________________________________________________________________

Beth Reekles, a 17-year-old Welsh high school student, posted her first novel online at a story-sharing site. There it got more than 19 million views—not to mention the eyes of editors at Random House Children’s Publishers U.K. The publishers (出版商) reached out, which led to the publishing of The Kissing Booth, a novel about teenage love, in Britain. The girl talked about her inspirations (灵感) and beyond in a recent interview.

Q: What made you want to start writing a book?

Beth: I was looking for something to read, but everything was vampires and fallen angels. I was just sick of it. I wanted something that was teen fiction. So I decided to write my own. I started writing around April of 2019, and shortly after I began, I started posting it online, chapter by chapter.

Q: Beth, do you think there’s a benefit (益处) to being a teenager writing for teens?
