课件10张PPT。Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note Section Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading－Pre-reading Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 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 team's 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 skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus rex (霸王龙) that had ever been found. The T. rex was named “Sue” after its discoverer. This was not Hendrickson's 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 to The Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois, her hometown. That is where Sue the T. rex is on display. Sue Hendrickson likes to visit Sue the dinosaur whenever she can. 【文章大意】 本文是记叙文。Hendrickson是个探险家，她发现了世界上迄今为止最大的霸王龙化石。 1．Hendrickson found Sue the T. rex _____.
