30、agons. These animals are actually called olms (洞螈) which look like dragons.A female olm might lay eggs just once every six years. Excitement over the possibility of new babies started in January, when the first egg was spotted deep within the Postojna Cave in Slovenia. In the end, with the help of s
31、cientists, 22 olms were born between May 30 and July 14. They are now growing into healthy teenage dragons.Olms live in underwater limestone caves in Central Europe. These caves are difficult to reach, so scientists don t often get to observe olms in their natural habitat.Olms, which can grow to be
32、up to 16 inches long, are one of the largest cave animals in the world. They have pale skin and long snouts and their tiny eyes are fully covered with skin.No natural light reaches these deep caves, so many animals that live there cannot see. But olms use their incredible senses of smell and hearing
33、 to hunt worms, crabs, and snails. Olms can also survive without food for long periods of time, even as long as 10 years.When a female olm laid 64 eggs in the Postojna Cave last winter, scientists thought that only two or three of them would survive. In the wild, only about two baby olms successfull
34、y hatch from 500 eggs. The last time a female olm laid eggs at the Postojna Cave, none of the eggs hatched. So this time, scientists worked very hard to care for the olm eggs and watched over them as they grew. About one-third of the 64 baby olms survived, and they appear to be doing well.Scientists
35、 are hopeful about the babies future. Although baby olms don t eat for the first couple of months, by August three of the oldest babies were eating worms. That was an important step in their development.“We will keep doing everything we possibly can to ensure the olms well-being,” a press statement
36、for the team stated.8. What can we learn about the birth of the olms found in the Postojna Cave this year?A. It is an extremely rare event.B. It proves dragons really exist.C It needs more public attention.D. It means a new-found species.9. What is a characteristic of olms?A. They prefer living in d
37、ry environments.B. They have a poor sense of hearing.C. They can live up to 10 years.D. They are born blind.10. What do the numbers in Paragraph 6 show?A. Olms can t live without scientists help.B. The birth rate of olms is usually very low.C. Olms usually face hard living surroundings.D. Fewer and
38、fewer female olms lay eggs now.11. How old were the oldest baby olms when they began to eat this summer?A. Less than one month old.B. Over two months old.C. Nearly twelve months old.D. About eight months old.【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了在欧洲中部一个名叫Postojna Cave的洞穴发现了64枚洞螈卵，这些卵在科学家的帮助下已经成
39、功孵化22枚，该数据远远大于野生环境中的出生率。接下来科学家们会尽最大的努力保证这些洞螈的健康。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段的“A female olm might lay eggs just once every six years.”（雌性洞螈每六年才产一次卵）和倒数第三段的“In the wild, only about two baby olms successfully hatch from 500 eggs.”（在野生环境下，每500枚卵中只有两枚成功孵化）可知，洞螈的出生率很低。由此推知，今年在Postojna Cave诞生24只洞螈是极其罕见的事情。故选A。【9题详解】细
40、节理解题。根据第四段的“They have pale skin and long snouts and their tiny eyes are fully covered with skin.”（它们的皮肤苍白，有长长的鼻子，它们小小的眼睛完全被皮肤覆盖）可知，洞螈天生看不见。故选D。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第六段的“When a female olm laid 64 eggs in the Postojna Cave last winter, scientists thought that only two or three of them would survive. In the
41、wild, only about two baby olms successfully hatch from 500 eggs. The last time a female olm laid eggs at the Postojna Cave, none of the eggs hatched.”（去年冬天当一只雌性洞螈在Postojna Cave产下64枚卵时，科学家以为只有两到三枚可以活下来。在野生环境下，每500枚卵中只有两枚成功孵化。）可推知，本段所列数字表明，洞螈的出生率通常很低。故选B。【11题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“In the end, with the help of
42、 scientists, 22 olms were born between May 30 and July 14.”（最后，在科学家的帮助下，22只洞螈在5月30日到7月14日成功被孵化）和倒数第二段的“Although baby olms don t eat for the first couple of months, by August three of the oldest babies were eating worms.”（尽管幼洞螈在开始的几个月都不吃东西，但到了八月三只最大的洞螈开始进食）可知，最大的洞螈在5月30日孵化，到8月它们开始吃东西时，这些洞螈两个多月大。故选B。D
43、Have you heard of Creative Growth? The Oakland institution offers a professional studio space where adult artists with developmental, mental and physical disabilities can create work. It also provides gallery exhibitions, representation, guidance, a community of likeminded artists and a safe space i
44、n which to grow. The late Judith Scott, whose artwork lit up the Brooklyn Museum in a retrospective(回顾展)last year, was a Creative Growth artist who suffered from down syndrome(唐氏综合症)and hearing loss.“Its the best facility for local adult artists living with disabilities,” Jonah Olson, an artist and
45、former teacher in Creative Growths printmaking studio said. “ The amount of work they produce and the quality of it are remarkable.”Olson, who now lives in Los Angeles, is a member of the band L.A. Takedown. Along with his bandmates, Olson decided to use the opportunity to expose Southern California
46、 to lesser known contemporary outsider artists, living and working just a few hours up north.“Ive had an interest in outsider art for a long time,” Olson explained. “You make art as a child and the reasons for doing it now, in my case, are no different now from what they were then. It s very basic.
47、Intrinsic (本质的). I think thats what drew me to art made by people with developmental disabilities.”The show, a survey of the spaces better-known and lesser-known names, loosely revolves(围绕) around themes of art and music. “Not a lot of the recent artwork specifically is about music, but we are group
48、ing the work around the idea of being in the cities of L.A. and Oakland.” Olson said.The artists of Creative Growth will be on view throughout the month of August, coupled with musical performances and film screenings organized by L.A. Takedown. All proceeds from the month will benefit the artists and space. The money will be used to improve the condition of the studio and for the development of the artists. “L.A. doesnt really have a place like Creative Growth,” Olson said, discussi
