Exactly why that happened is a scientific mystery,but a new study suggests that the huge animal may have lost out to the much smailer but still wild species-the great white shark. The megaiodon was the largest shark tnat ever lived.According to the studies of teeth and other fossiis ( und in oceans around the-worid,scientists believe the megalodon was about three times the size of the largest great white shark.Because it lived so long ago,it is difficult to know what the megalodon's life was like or exactly what it ate.However,an international team of researchers studied its fossilized teeth to try to find out. In today's ecosystems,anmals that are higher on the food chain have lower levels of a mineral called zinc ()in their bodies.The researchers studied teeth of ancient megalodons and great white sharks and found that members of both kinds of sharks had a similar amount of zinc in their teeth.That meant the two kinds of sharks were in the same position on the food chain.They were both at the top of the food chain with no natural killers and ate the same kinds of animals,such as fish and seals This finding supported an idea that great white sharks,hough smaller,could have managed to catch most of the food he megalodons needed to live.If that was true,the smaller shark could play a role in driving the much bigger shark to death.Other factors could have included climate and water temperatures.The research also supported the idea that a killer didn't have to be the largest to beat others of its kind. Scientists will bave to do more research to find out exactly what happened in those ancient ocean ecosystems and to the megalodon.However,they may have drawn the conclusion."Megalodons played an important role in shaping the ocean ecosystems we know today,"said Kenshu Shimada,a shark paleontologist.A 22.We can learn from Paragraph 2 about A.what the megalodon ate B.where the megalodon lived C.how big the megalodon was D.when the megalodon died out 23.What is the purpose of Paragraph 3? 2 南通市第一初级中学校本作业 编写：汪玲玲审核：陈挂铭 日期：2026年1月7日 A.To show us the meaning of the food chain.

There are advantages of this kind of goal setting.Research shows that couples who go on a diet together are more likely to lose weight than those who do so alone.What's more,making changes at the same time as others also means you have others to share your success with. 28__For example,when you are depending on parents to keep you motivated(有动力的)and they decide to stop going to the gym,you might want to stay at home as well.It's also common for collective goal setters to compare their results with others'and become discouraged if one person is succeeding while they are not. If you want to set a goal with others,you'd better know the best time to set it.No matter what starts your motivation,it's very important to take action as soon as you feel the desire.You may only have a short window of ccetmake decisions about what you want to do before something gets in the way.29 A good method of successful goal setting is breaking down bigger goals into smaller,more speeific ones. 3So iastead of going to lose 10 pounds a month",set a goal to reduce your daily calorie intake and go to the gym for 30 minutes a day. A..So momnents of desire are the perfect time to put a plan in piace. eishtmrerally sn C.They include outside motivation()and the chances to learn from others. D.However,sometimes there are also disadvantages about the goal-setting E.A new start allows us to separate our past goals from future goals. F.Research shows that making these goals leads to better performance. 词汇运用 3 南通市第一初级中学校本作业 细日：汇冷玲刊核：陈性铭 H明：2026年！月1日 Wild snimals are imporant to the balance of nature,but many of them are facing serious problems.The Siberian riger is one of the most endangered animals in the world.It is one of(31)_(arge)cats on the earth.
