the

Best

Ireland’s is

to

for

to

a

life

quality

ranking(

) that

appeared

in

Britain’s

Economist

magazine

last

week.

The

ambitious

attempt

to

compare

happiness

levels

around

the

world

is

based

on

the

principle

that

wealth

is

not

the

only

measure

of

human

satisfaction

and

well
-
being.

The

index

of

111

countries

uses

data

on

incomes, health,

Unemployment, climate, political

stability,

job

security,

gender(
性别
) equality

as

well

as

what

the

magazine

calls“freedom, family

and

community

life”.

Despite

the

bad

weather,

trouble

health

service, traffic

congestion(
拥挤
),gender

inequality,and

the

high

cost

of

living,Ireland

scored
-
place

Switzerland, which

managed
8.07. Zimbabwe

troubled

by

political

insecurity

and

hunger, is

rated

the

gloomiest(
最差
的
), picking

up

only 3.89. points.

“Although

rising

incomes

and

increased

individual

choices

are

highly

valued,”the

report

said,“some

of

the

factors

associated

with

modernization

such

as

the

breakdown
in

traditional

institutions

and

family

values

in

part

take

away

from

a

positive

impact.”

“Ireland

wins

because

it

successfully

combines

the

most

desirable

elements

of

the

new

with

the

preservation

of

certain

warm

elements

of

the

old, such

as

stable

family

and

community

life.”

The

magazine

admitted

measuring

quality

of

not

a

straightforward

that

its

would

have

their

critics.

The

Rare

Fossil

Record

The

preservation

of

embryos

and

juveniles

is

a

rare

occurrence

in

the

fossil
record.
The

tiny,
delicate

skeletons

are

usually

scattered

by

scavengers(
食
腐
动
物
)
weathering

before

they

can

be

fossilized.
Ichthyosaurs(
鱼龙
)
had

a

higher

chance

of
being

preserved

than

did

terrestrial

creatures

because, as

marine

animals, they

tended

to
live

in

environments

less

subject

to

erosion.
Still,

their

fossilization

required

a

suite
of

factors:
a

slow

rate

of

decay

of

soft

tissues,
little

scavenging

by

other

animals,
a






lack

of

swift

currents

and

waves

to

jumble

and

carry

away

small

bones,
and

fairly

rapid

burial.
Given

these

factors,

some

areas

have

become

a

treasury

of

well
-
preserved

ichthyosaur

fossils.

The

deposits

at

Holzmaden,
Germany,
present

an

interesting

case

for


ichthyosaur

remains

are

found

in

black,
bituminous

marine

shales(
页岩
)
deposited

about

190
million

years

ago.
Over

the

years,
thousands

of

specimens

of

marine

reptiles,
fish

and

invertebrates

have

been

recovered

from

these

rocks.
The

quality

of

preservation

is

outstanding,
but

what

is

even

more

impressive

is

the

number

of

ichthyosaur

fossils containing

preserved

embryos.

Ichthyosaur

with

embryos

have

been

reported

from

6

different

levers

of

the

shale

in

a

small

area

around

Holzmaden,
suggesting
that

a

specific

site

was

used

by

large

numbers

of

ichthyosaurs

repeatedly

over

time.
The

embryos

are

quite

advanced

in

their

physical

development;
their

paddles,
for

example,

are

already

well

formed.
One

specimen

is

even

preserved

in

the

birth

canal.
In

additional,
the

shale

contains

the

remains

of

many

newborns

that

are

between

20 and 30 inches

long.

Why

are

these

so

many

pregnant

females

and

young

at

Holzmaden

when

they

are

so

rare

elsewhere?

The

quality

of

preservation

is

almost

unmatched

and

quarry

operations

have

been

carried

out

carefully

with

an

awareness

of

the

value

of

the

fossils.
But

these

factors

do

not

account

for

the

inter
-
esting

question

of

how

how

there

came

to

be

such

a

concentration

of

pregnant

ichthyosaurs

in

a

particular

place

very

close

to

their

time

of

giving

birth.



of

the

following

are

mentioned

as

factors

that

encourage

fossilization

except

the_____

( D )

A. speed

of

burying

ions

of

the

water

C.

rate

at

which

soft

tissues

decay

is

true

of

the

fossil

discussed


in

the

passage?



















( B )

examples

of

newly

discovered

specie.

large

numbers

of

specimens

older

than

fossils

found

in

other

places.



have

been

analyzed

more

carefully

than

other

fossils.

in

meaning

to_____






( D )

A.“extensive







B.“surprising


C.







D.“excellent

14.

Why

does

the

the

specimen

preserved

in

the

birth

canal?





( A )

that

are

quite

advanced

their

development.

why

the

are

well

preserved.

how

the

ichthyosaurs

died.

that

ichthyosaurs

are

marine

animals.

15.

Which

of

the

following

best

expresses

the

relationship

between

the

first

second

( C )



first

describes

a

place

while

the

second

describes

a

field

of

study.
