中考真题2024年河北省阅读理解C篇-喜欢化石的男孩

Mike, a 12-year-old boy, lived in a hillside village. His neighboring village was famous because of a great discovery there. In 2003, paleontologists（古生物学家）found the bones（骨头）of the largest dinosaur（恐龙）in Europe in a field near his neighboring village.

Mike liked dinosaurs more than anything else in the world. He also believed that there was an amazing dinosaur bone under the ground of his own village. His dream was to be the first person to find it.

One summer morning, Mike was exploring（勘查）in a field near a river. He looked up to see his two friends Fern and Pepe running toward him with a colorful kite. Mike enjoyed playing with his friends and began to fly the kite with them. As he ran, he fell to the ground. "I caught my left foot on this grey object," he said.

"A rock," said Fern.

Mike looked at it carefully." I don't think it's a rock," he said excitedly.

"Let me pull it out," said Pepe.

"No," said Mike. "It's better to leave the object right here."

Mike and the boys ran to school to tell their teacher. The teacher called the paleontologist's office. The next day, a paleontologist came to the village to examine the object. "It could be a dinosaur bone," he said. Soon, many paleontologists came and more bones were found. They turned out to come from a new kind of dinosaur.

Fern asked, "What do we call this dinosaur?" "Interesting question," said one of the paleontologists, "we'll call it Mikesaur!”
