四、阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)
A
Molly loves hunting for shark teeth on the beach. She jumped for joy when she got a pair of long rubber boots from her parents. She put them on and set out for a nearby beach. In less than half an hour, the nine-year-old noticed a five-inch-long tooth. To her surprise, it turned out to have belonged to a megalodon(巨齿鲨) from 15 million years ago! This very large species of shark died out 3.6 million years ago.
Seriously?
Koichi Hasegawa, a Japanese designer, found a large piece of amethyst(紫水晶) on a trip to the United States. It was shaped like the letter "L" and had a long history. He brought the stone home and made it into an office chair. The chair is now up for sale for nearly 23,000 yuan. The designer said, "You can actually sit on it if you can afford it." Or, maybe, if you have thick enough a cushion(垫子)?
Toys from Ancient Times
