因為原著為美國人所寫,單詞采用美式拼法,不抄全文，也不用寫序號。答完一空換行繼續(xù)下一空作答。文中需聽寫單詞或詞組用[-No-]表示，句子用[---No---]表示。請邊聽寫邊理解文意，根據(jù)下面的TIPS訓練聽寫。這樣可以提高聽力準確度，并為訓練聽譯打下基礎哦~~~
TIPS聽寫訓練點：單詞拼寫，時態(tài)，單復數(shù)，連讀，長難句（請邊聽邊用符號先記下內容，然后自己回頭組織語句，最后校對，不要逐字逐句聽寫）

The bone clearly didn't belong to any species of creature still alive, certainly not in New Jersey. [-3-] , it is thought to have belonged to a hadrosaur, a large duck-billed dinosaur. At the time, dinosaurs were unknown.
The bone was sent to Dr. Caspar Wistar, the nation's [-4-] anatomist, who described it at a meeting of the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia that autumn. [---5---] He thus missed the chance, [-6-], to be the discoverer of dinosaurs. Indeed, the bone [-7-] so little interest that it was put in a storeroom and eventually disappeared [-8-] . So the first dinosaur bone ever found was also the first to be lost.

Unfortunately, Wistar failed completely to recognize the bone's significance and merely made a few cautious and uninspired remarks to the effect that it was indeed a whopper.

第六章 勢不兩立的科學
1787年，新澤西州有個人--到底是誰，如今似乎已被忘卻--在伍德伯里溪發(fā)現(xiàn)一根巨大的大腿骨戳出一處岸邊。那根骨頭顯然不屬于尚存的任何物種，也肯定不是新澤西州的。根據(jù)現(xiàn)在掌握的一點情況，人們認為它屬于一只鴨嘴龍，那是一種長著鴨嘴的大恐龍。當時，人們還沒有聽說過恐龍。
骨頭被送交給當時美國最杰出的解剖學家卡斯帕?威斯塔博士。同年秋天，他在費城召開的美國哲學學會的一次會議上作了描述。威斯塔沒有完全認識到這根骨頭的重要意義，只是小心翼翼地講了幾句不痛不癢的話，大意是，它真是個龐然大物。他就這樣錯過了先于別人半個世紀發(fā)現(xiàn)恐龍的機會。實際上，這根骨頭沒有引起多大興趣，后來被放在貯藏室里，最后徹底不見了。因此，歷史上第一根被發(fā)現(xiàn)的恐龍骨頭，也是第一根被丟失的恐龍骨頭。
