Driving into town shows you more dinosaurs.A large map at the entrance to the town promises to show where every Granger dinosaur is，but_it_is_out_of_date.Jack said，“We have been building more dinosaurs and we try to let people know more about science and art.” 语篇解读 华盛顿的 Granger 镇是个名副其实的“恐龙城”，旅游者一走进该城，就会 见到各种各样的“恐龙”。 1．According to the city official Alice Koerner，the dinosaurs could________.

In August，a fox was found in a garden near the White House tennis courts.He’s since been caught sleeping on the driveway，setting off alarms (警报)，and running across the President’s golf course.President Barack Obama once saw him running 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 4 outside the Oval Office.In October，he even ate some of the vegetables in the First Lady’s garden! “We don’t mind him passing through，but we don’t want him to stay，” says Dale Haney，who leads the team of people who take care of the White House lawn (草 地)． The groundskeepers have been trying to catch the fox for months.But foxes are very fast.The fox has so far escaped the groundskeepers who chased him and avoided traps. Another challenge is that the White House is more than just a house：It has a lot of lawns，gardens，and bushes nearby in which a fox can hide，something this fox does well.Few people who work at the White House have even seen him. Haney had a team of eight people look for the fox’s home，where the animal sleeps.They searched through bushes and gardens for 45 minutes every morning.But the fox’s home has stayed hidden，and the groundskeepers have given up. The fox isn’t the first wild animal to hang around the White House grounds.Animals like birds，raccoons (浣熊)，and deer have all visited over the years.White House officials have tried to remove (移开) these animals from the White House kindly，without hurting them. Haney’s team hopes to move the fox to a park nearby，along the Potomac River.But they will have to catch him first! 语篇解读 本文是说明文。文章报道了美国白宫出现的一位不受欢迎的客人。 5．What can we learn from the second paragraph?
