A very old Seychelles giant tortoise (塞舌尔巨龟) named Jonathan turned 191 years old on December 4th, 2023! That’s really old — he was born even before people invented (发明) the telephone and photographs. Jonathan has two Guinness World Records (吉尼斯世界纪录). He is the oldest living land animal and the oldest known tortoise or turtle.

Jonathan lives on St. Helena, a small island. People think he was born around 1832. They guess this because he was already 50 years old when he came to the island in 1882. Some people even think he might be older than 191 years old!

Everyone on the island knows Jonathan, and he’s quite famous. He’s even on the island’s money. The island’s governor (长官) decided in 2022 that December 4th would be Jonathan’s birthday, and they celebrate (庆祝) it for three whole days!

Tortoises like Jonathan usually live up to 150 years, but Jonathan has lived much longer. He’s still going strong, even though he can’t smell (闻) much and is almost blind (失明的). He still loves to eat! Dr. Hollins from the Guinness World Records said Jonathan is healthy. They hope he might live to be 200 years old, or maybe he’s already that old!

1.Where can you possibly read this article?
A.In a menu.B.In a magazine.C.In a diary (日记).D.In a novel (小说).

A.He is almost blind and can’t smell much.B.He’s famous and is on the island’s money.
C.He was already 50 years old in 1882.D.He has two Guinness World Records.
3.Why is December 4th celebrated for three days on St. Helena?
A.Because it’s the island’s birthday.
B.Because it’s the day Jonathan was really born.
C.Because it’s the day Jonathan came to St. Helena.
D.Because it’s the day people choose as Jonathan’s birthday.
4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

y = sin x, x∈R, y∈[–1,1],周期为2π,函数图像以 x = (π/2) + kπ 为对称轴
y = arcsin x, x∈[–1,1], y∈[–π/2,π/2]
sin x = 0 ←→ arcsin x = 0
sin x = 1/2 ←→ arcsin x = π/6
sin x = √2/2 ←→ arcsin x = π/4
sin x = 1 ←→ arcsin x = π/2
