Fossils are well preserved remains, impressions, or traces （痕迹）of animals and plants that lived long ago.
Paleontologists （古生物学家）divide fossils into two main groups. Some fossils, called body fossils, show the
structure of the plant or the animal. They form directly from the remains of plants and animals. Other fossils, called
trace fossils. They record signs of animal or plant activities, such as walking, feeding, scratching, or even resting.
Most animals and plants don't become fossils after they die. They break down into little bits or may be eaten
by other animals. But some remains get buried too fast, avoiding those things happening. An animal might die near
a body of water and sink to the bottom, where its remains get covered in sediment （沉积物）. As sediment builds
up, mineral-rich water seeps into the remains, leaving minerals in the tiny spaces of the bones and even replacing
the original bone. The newly minerals react with those in the animal's remains and then harden into fossils.
Most fossils are buried deep in the Earth. As the Earth's surface changes, scientists can dig up new fossils and
learn more about past life and the Earth's history. In rock that formed before a certain time? roughly 2. 8 million
years ago? scientists will not find human fossils.
Fossils are our keys to understanding prehistoric life and the Earth's history. By studying fossils? we learn
about a great variety of plants and animals that lived in the past. We can know what they looked like? how and
where they moved and what they ate. By comparing fossils from different time periods? we can track the evolution
of a species? see how it adapted to changes in its environment, and understand more about the climate and
environment where the fossils were buried.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A. Fossils are remains of plants and animals.
B. Trace fossils only tell us the activities of animals.
C. Trace fossils form directly from the remains of creatures.
D. Body fossils show almost the original structure of creatures.
9. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A. Where we can find fossils.
B. Which methods are used to study fossils.
C. Different fossils have different features.
D. How animals and plants become fossils.
10. What does the underlined phrase “seeps into” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Engages in. B. Sinks in. C. Delights in. D. Succeeds in.
11. What does the author think of the research of fossils?
A. Ridiculous. B. Complex. C. Significant. D. Inspiring.

Software expert James Curran helped rewrite Australia's new curriculum （ 全 部 课 程 ） for information
technology subjects. He said the changes to the current curriculum could stop teenagers avoiding computing and
maths subjects in high school. "Kids are naturally curious ， but we don't set up the curriculum in a way that
awakens their curiosity so that they can learn the things they want to, and the things they have to,” Curran said.
“Teaching maths and computing in a new way makes a very big difference.”
As more and more high school students drop out of advanced maths subjects ， Dr Curran warned that
computing subjects were in an even more difficult position than them. Only 1,748 year-12 students enrolled （登
记）in software design and development in New South Wales last year—about half the 3，300 who studied the
subject 10 years ago. Enrolments in information technology have declined sharply, from 10,000 in 2001 to just
