23、Big meat-eating dinosaurs might have changed their menus and become vegetarians(素食者), a study of a 130-million-year-old fossil found in the US has shown.
According to a report in the magazine Nature the dinosaur developed from a kind of meat-eater dinosaurs. Although the long-tailed dinosaur ate plants, it still had the powerful body and the four-inch claws of its meat-eating ancestor(祖先).” They probably used the claws to protect themselves
The dinosaur is an important finding in the history of evolution(进化), because of its change in food. They may depended on flowering plants, which first appeared on Earth more than 140 million years ago. Researchers believe that its special teeth provide important information to its eating habits. The mouths of meat-eaters had knife-like sharp teeth, this dinosaur’s teeth were shaped more like spoons, better for eating plants. It still might have been able to eat the snakes, the researchers reported.
The fossil was found at a newly discovered dinosaur graveyard(墓地). It is about 140 miles southeast of Salt Lake City. Scientists found “hundreds, perhaps thousands” of dinosaur fossils were in the middle of a 120-million-year-old stone.
“99% of the bones were from the same species(物种),” Kirkland said. But scientists don’t know why so many dinosaurs died suddenly in the same place. Kirkland first saw some of the fossils in 1999, when other scientists showed him a box of bones they bought at a fossil show. The seller didn’t want to say where the fossils were from.
Kirkland said he spent several years trying to find the place.

A.They had new dishes in their restaurant.
B.They ate vegetables because of overweight.
C.They change their eating habits.
D.They have no meat to eat.
【2】What might the dinosaurs use their claws mainly to do?
A.To catch small animals for food.
B.To run faster in the forests.
C.To eat plants more quickly.
D.To keep themselves from danger.
【3】What can we know from Paragraph 3?
A.The dinosaurs like to eat meat instead of salad.
B.The dinosaurs eat many plants and little meat.
C.The dinosaurs like snakes better than salad.
D.The dinosaurs like to eat salad like humans.
【4】What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.A kind of dinosaurs changed its food.
B.The reason why dinosaurs died out.
C.Different dinosaurs have different teeth.
D.New dinosaurs fossils were found.
【5】What can you infer from the passage?
A.Scientists are sure when the dinosaur died.
