参考答案:P06
原⑩A newly discovered frog fossil looks remarkably like the tadpoles(蝌蚪)
you're probably familiar with except for one thing-it was a giant.The team had been scouring
,外刊精读,
the same quarry()at Estancia La Matilde in the Santa Cruz province of Argentina for dinosaurs.
The researchers who described the fossil in Nature today estimate it to be between 161 to 168 million
years old,beating the previous record holder by around 10 million years.The find provides solid evidence
frogs have had a tadpole stage for at least that long."It's a beautiful confirmation of what many experts
had suspected,"says herpetologist Alexander Haas of the Leibniz Institute in Bonn,Germany.
When looking at the fossil under the microscope,researcher found the cartilage()supporting
its gills()to be surprisingly similar to that of tadpoles alive today.Similarly,tadpoles of this extinct species
would have sucked in water and then pushed it out across their gills,filtering out food and absorbing oxygen
all in one go.This suggests it probably wasn't feeding on the small shellfish and insects also found as fossils
in these rocks,but rather on micro-organisms and organic debris floating in the water.
Like the fossilized frogs,paradoxical frogs live in temporary()pools that dry up when
there isn't enough rain,which means they don't face much danger from fish.This allows the
tadpoles to stay in the tadpole stage for longer and grow larger before they metamorphose into
adults,making maximum use of the food available in the pools."The discovery of this more than
160-million-year-old tadpole is a testament to the success of the frog's way of life,"says Agnolin.
Today,however,many frogs are struggling,as their dependence on both land and water
habitats makes them twice as vulnerable to human disturbance."
▲,”says Agnolin.

B.Most other frogs tend to be largest in the adult phase of their lives.But this species differs
C.The very same strategy that made them successful now makes them more prone to extinction

一、应用文写作
四参考范文
My fellow students,
Recently,some careless behaviors like wasting food and leaving
lights on all day long at school have raised our concern.all of which
are bad for the environment.To tackle with such problems,I'd like to
give the following proposals to promote awareness of green living.
Firstly,always switch off the lights in your classroom upon
leaving.Secondly.don't order more than you need in the school
canteen to save every bit of food.After all,the production of food
produces a large amount of greenhouse gases.Thirdly,take reusable
water bottles along instead of bottled water to diminish plastic waste.
Small acts can make a big difference.So let's do something to
create a beautiful,low earbon eampus.
Thank you!

过去。母亲对此感到无奈和悲伤。作者与父亲交谈,了解到父亲和
Raph梦想修复旧船,再次在湖上重温过去的快乐时光。父亲患有心
脏病,母亲最初对此感到担优,但最终被说服允许父亲实现他的愿望」

秘密计划,”可知,第一段可描写作者和明友修理船的经过,
2.由续写第二段首句内容“到了爸爸生日那天,我们都迫不及铸地想
给他一个惊喜."可知,第二段可描写父亲看到惊喜后的反应。
