B A 9-year-old girl from Maryland has made an important discovery: a 15 million-year-old megalodon (巨齿鲨) tooth. 第5 页/共20 页 （北京）股份有限公司 Molly Sampson, along with her sister Natalie, 17, and her dad, Bruce Sampson, went out to hunt “treasure” in a bay near Calvert Cliffs on Christmas morning. At around 10:30, Molly saw her Christmas miracle: a 5-inch-long megalodon tooth. Her sister and father went over to see what Molly was so excited about. Bruce said he was shocked by his daughter’s “once-in-a-lifetime find.” “This is the kind of find every fossil hunter dreams of,” he said. They were amazed by the discovery. “I was so excited because of the size and rarity of the find, and I kept thinking I was dreaming,” Molly said. “It was something I have always wanted to find, and I couldn’t believe it.” This is not the first time she’s found a megalodon tooth during her fossil hunts — but she’s never found one that large. “I have found five other megalodon teeth, but they are only an inch or two in size,” she said. “Molly’s tooth would have come from a teenager shark between 45-50 feet long. The largest megalodons could have grown to be 65 feet long. Based on the tooth, the creature was about 15 million years old,” said Dr. Stephen Godfrey, a famous paleontologist (古生物学家). Megalodons lived from about 25 million years ago to about 2.5 million years ago. They were one of the—if not the largest marine predators (海洋捕食性动物) the world has ever known. “They shaped the global marine ecosystem, and global marine food-webs,” said Godfrey. Molly Sampson has been fossil hunting with her dad ever since she was little. “I will never stop!” she said. “When I grow up, I want to collect fossils and study them like a paleontologist.” 24. Which aspect of the shark tooth shocked Bruce? A. Its age. B. Its size. C. Its quality. D. Its owner. 25. What can we learn about Molly? A. She received a Christmas gift from his dad. B. She disliked staying at home at Christmas. C. She came across a teenager shark. D. She has found at least 6 megalodon teeth. 26. What can we infer from Dr. Stephen Godfrey’s words? A. Megalodons shouldn’t be hunted. B. The tooth belonged to the largest megalodon. C. The tooth dates back to 25 million years ago. D. Megalodons once played a critical role in the ocean. 27. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce megalodons to readers. B. To report a little girl’s unusual discovery. 第6 页/共20 页 （北京）股份有限公司 C. To excite readers’ interest in fossil hunting. D. To promote the pub
