四、閱讀測驗 (36~50題) Passage 1 The La Brea tarpits, located in Hancock Park in the Los Angeles area, have proven to be anextremely fertile source of Ice Age fossils. Apparently, during the period of the Ice Age, the tarpits werecovered by shallow pools of water; when animals came there to drink, they got caught in the sticky tarand perished. The tar not only trapped the animals, leading to the death, but also served as a remarkablyeffective preservant, allowing near-perfect skeletons to remain hidden until the present era. In 1906, the remains of a huge prehistoric bear discovered in the tarpits alerted archeologists to thepotential treasure lying within the tar. Since then thousands and thousands of well-preserved skeletonshave been uncovered, including the skeletons of camels, horses, wolves, tigers, sloths, and dinosaurs.
