In fact, it was held in Sotheby’s auction house of New York on July 28. Sotheby’s described the skeleton as “one of the most valuable dinosaurs to every appear on the market”. It was sold for $ US 6.1 million to an unknown buyer. The buyer also won the right to give the dinosaur skeleton a name. Unlike many other countries, the sale or export of fossils(化石) is allowed in the US, meaning the skeleton could end up overseas.

A typical adult weighed about two tonnes, slightly smaller than its more famous relative, the Tyrannosaurus rex. It was fiercer and faster than the T-rex, with a stronger bite. The sale marks the first time that Sotheby’s has auctioned a full dinosaur skeleton since it sold Sue the T-rex in 1997 for $ US 8.36 million. “All of the other specimens(标本) of Gorgosaurus that have been found are in museums,” said Sotheby’s head of science and popular culture, Cassandra Hatton. “This is the only that you can actually buy, so it’s an exciting moment, both for private collectors and institutions.” 59.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题)(12分) Long long ago, just as Santa Claus was ready to start on his yearly trip, a fairy came to tell him of three little children who lived beneath an old tent on a broad plain where there were no trees whatsoever. These poor babies were miserable and unhappy, for their parents were not responsible ones, Santa decided to visit these children before he returned home, and during his ride he picked up the bushy top of a pine tree which the wind had broken off and placed it in his sledge(雪橇). It was nearly morning when Santa stopped before the lonely tent where the poor children lay asleep. Santa at once planted the bit of pine tree in the sand and stuck many candles on the branches. Then he hung some pretty toys on the tree, as well as several bags of candies. When all was ready he lighted the candles and shouted: “Merry Christmas, little ones!” With that he jumped into his sledge and was out of sight before the children, rubbing the sleep from their eyes, could come out to see who had called them. You can imagine the wonder and joy of those little ones, who had never in their lives known real pleasure before, when they saw the tree, sparkling with lights that shone brilliantly in the gray dawn and hung with toys enough to make them happy for years to come! They joined hands and danced around the tree, shouting and laughing, until they had to pause for breath. And their parents, also, came out to look and wonder, and thereafter changed their ways to treat their children. The idea of the Christmas tree pleased Santa, and so the following year he carried many of them in his sledge and set them up in the homes of poor people who seldom saw trees, and placed candles and toys on the branches. 78.

A different holiday The winter holiday of 2020 was different due to the rapid spread of Covid-19 and almost everyone had to stay indoors. While most people were complaining, I made full use of the time. I read every day to keep the boredom away and learnt some new things. In addition, I started to grow vegetables on my balcony. Though the tomatoes I grew were so tiny that I couldn’t even make a nice dish. I still had much fun taking care of them. I am very glad that I engaged with different activities during the difficult time. These rewarding hobbies made that holiday a special one. Speaking III. One of my favorite thing to do in the woods was to go camping. To me, real camping is about doing it in a DIY style. You go deep into the woods where no one else has been before you. You build a small shelter out of fallen trees, tree branches and leaves. You make your own fire for light and heat. Part of the joy of camping is being closer to nature. Explore the great outdoors more with some activities such as birding watching, bug collecting and searching for nuts or wild berries. And if you’re really skilled, you can go hunting or fishing for your dinner! Sitting under the stars at night and getting away from the noisy modern world is one of the best things about camping. Everyone should get to experience it. Now that you have some ideas for things to do while camping, it’s time to get out there and try them! 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
