A piece of history has been found thanks to a boy tripping on a rare, 1.2-million-year-old animal fossil. In November 2016, Jude Sparks, now 10, was on an outing with his family near their New Mexico home when he tripped over what he thought was a cow bone. Now, researchers at New Mexico State University are preserving this discovery, which was identified as an ancient elephant-like animal.
Kyle Sparks, father of Jude, said he let his son decide what to do with the fossil. So Jude reached out to Peter Houde, a professor at New Mexico State University, who had experience with the same type of fossil in the past. The next day, Houde came out to see the fossil for himself. Houde told ABC News that he was quite excited about the find. “It was fortunate that the family didn’t try to dig up the fossil because that could destroy the specimen. They did the right thing by calling someone who would know what to do. It’s great for the community because now everybody can appreciate it,” he added.
Houde and his fellow faculty members dug up the fossil in late May. They hope to return to the site with geologists for an additional search as there could be more fossils near the site. Jude and his family had been invited by the researchers to see the fossil being preserved at the university.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. What did the boy Jude Sparks think he had discovered?
23. What are the researchers at New Mexico State University doing with the boy’s discovery?
24. What did Professor Peter Houde say when interviewed by ABC News?
25. What do the researchers plan to do?
选项
A、The site should have been protected.
B、The boy’s family had acted correctly.
C、The boy should have called an expert.
D、The channel needs to interview the boy.
答案
B
解析
细节推断题。讲座中提到,皮特-乌德教授告诉美国广播公司新闻频道说,他对这一发现相当激动,幸运的是这家人没有试图将这个化石挖出来,因为那样会毁掉这个标本。他们给知道该怎么做的人打了电话,这种做法是正确的。
