Ⅰ.阅读理解

As a child, Sue Hendrickson loved to look for buried treasure. She would also
walk along streets, looking at the ground and hoping to find interesting things.
One day, Hendrickson visited an amber mine. One piece of amber had an insect in
it, and a miner told her that it was 23 million years old. At that moment, Hendrickson
knew that she wanted to search for fossils (化石).
In 1990, she traveled to South Dakota with a team of scientists looking for
dinosaur bones. The teams car broke down. When the others went to get the car fixed,
Hendrickson and her dog stayed behind and went for a walk. On her walk, Hendrickson
saw some bones on the ground and then looked up. There, in the high area of rock,
was a huge dinosaur skeleton (骨骼)! The group uncovered the biggest, most complete
T rex
skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus rex (霸王龙) that had ever been found. The . was
named “Sue” after its discoverer.
This was not Hendricksons only adventure. Two years later, she dove with
scientists to explore a sunken ship. It was a Spanish trading ship from the 1600s.
At it, the scientists found hundreds of huge stone bowls and more than 400 gold and
silver coins.
Hendrickson has plans for more adventures. She wants to look for more dinosaur
bones and hopes to find a woolly mammoth (长毛象) skeleton. Often, Hendrickson travels
T rex
to The Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois, her hometown. That is where Sue the.
is on display. Sue Hendrickson likes to visit Sue the dinosaur whenever she can.
