1851年第一屆世博會的地點水晶宮曾經(jīng)展覽過禽龍的模型，但其骨架被錯誤的搭建。在其竣工前，科學家還在半成品模型里度過除夕夜。據(jù)說恐龍這學科還是引發(fā)積怨與仇恨~~~

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(nèi)容，然后自己回頭組織語句，最后校對，不要逐字逐句聽寫）

The iguanodon's thumb has been placed on its nose, as a kind of spike, and it stands on four sturdy legs, making it look like a rather stout and awkwardly overgrown dog.

在倫敦南部的西德納姆區(qū)，有個地方名叫水晶宮公園。那里聳立著一片被人遺忘的奇觀：世界上第一批實物大小的恐龍模型。近來去那里的人不太多，但一度這里是倫敦游客最多的勝地之一--事實上，正如理查德?福蒂說的，它是世界上第一個主題公園。嚴格來說，那些模型在許多方面是不正確的。禽龍的大拇指頂在鼻子上，變成了一根尖刺；它長著四條粗壯的腿，看上去像一條肥肥胖胖、不成比例的狗。（其實，禽龍不用四條腿蹲著，而是一種兩足動物。）現(xiàn)在望著它們，你幾乎想不到這些古怪而行動緩慢的動物會引起積怨和仇恨，但事實卻是如此。在自然史上，也許從來沒有哪種動物像名叫恐龍的古代動物那樣成為強烈而又持久的仇恨的中心。
建造恐龍模型的時候，西德納姆位于倫敦邊緣，寬敞的公園被認為是重建著名的水晶宮的理想之地。玻璃和鑄鐵結構的水晶宮曾是1851年博覽會的中心場所。新建的公園很自然地以此冠名。用混凝土建成的恐龍模型是一種很有經(jīng)濟效益的景觀。1853年除夕，在尚未完工的禽龍模型內(nèi)為21名科學家舉行了一次著名的晚宴。那位發(fā)現(xiàn)并確認禽龍的人吉迪恩?曼特爾不在其中。坐在餐桌上手的是古生物學這門年輕的科學里最偉大的人物，他的名字叫理查德?歐文。到這個時候，他已經(jīng)花費幾年心血，成果累累，害得吉迪思?曼特爾的日子很不好過。
