Question

閱讀理解 　　In April 2004 local farmer Ma Yun was taking a walk on a hillside near Lingwu, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region when he saw several “brown stones”．Two years later scientists have found that these “stones” are, in fact, the priceless fossils of eight giant dinosaurs．They are thought to be the largest ever found in Asia． 　　We know that these animals walked the earth in the Jurassic period, around 160 million years ago．According to scientists, these plant-eating dinosaurs weighed 100 tons and had before only been found in Africa and South America．How did one end up on a Chinese hillside? The answer lies in continental drift, says Professor Xu Xing, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences． 　　According to this theory, the earth began as a solid mass of land．Pieces of the land went their separate ways over the course of the following millions of years．That’s why the discovery of these dinosaurs today is far away from their original home． 　　A complete dinosaur fossil has also been unearthed in Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region． 　　The digging is being televised nationwide by China Central Television．It is the first time a dinosaur fossil excavation has been shown live in China． 　　How is a fossil formed? 　�、賂he dinosaur died．The flesh rotted and left hard parts like the bones and teeth． 　�、赥he body was quickly covered by sand and mud． 　�、跘fter a long time, water put minerals into the bones and replaced the chemicals in the bones with rock-like minerals． 　�、躎his process left a rock-like copy of the original animal-a fossil． (1) Which of the following best describes the main point of the passage? [　　] A． Dinosaur fossils were discovered in Ningxia and Xinjiang． B． Dinosaur’s original home is Africa and South America． C． The dinosaur fossil formed 160 million years ago． D． The continental drift resulted in the disappearance of dinosaurs． (2) Choose the right order of the fossil formation： a．Sand covered the dead body． b．The bones and teeth became things just like stones． c．Dinosaur died． d．The flesh went rotten． e．Minerals got into the bones． [　　] A． c, e, a, e, b． B． c, a, d, e, b C． c, e, d, a, b． D． c, a, b, d, e (3) The underlined phrase “l(fā)ie in” has the same meaning with ________． [　　] A． Paris lies in France． B． The fault lies in your carelessness． C． The whole city lay in ruins after the earthquake． D． His hat and gloves were lying in the drawer． (4) Which of the following words dose not mean the same as others?
