Last week,a wildfire happened in Rapa Nui National Park on Chile's Easter Island.The fire caused serious damage(损害) to several of the large,ancient stone statues(雕像) that the island is famous for.
Easter Island is home to about 900 large stone statues.The large statues were created over 500 years ago by the Rapa Nui people(拉帕努伊人).There are still many questions about how they were able to create,move,and stand up such statues.
Hundreds of stone statues are standing near the Rani Raraku volcano(拉尼拉库火山) inside Rapa Nui National Park.The area has been named by the United Nations as an area that's important to protect.Sadly,that's also where the fire was the strongest.
A wildfire spread quickly through the Rapa Nui National Park on October 4th.Park workers and fire fighters worked for hours.But the fire spread easily through the grassland around the area.It wasn't until late the next day that the fire was brought under control.A worker in the park said it didn't have enough volunteers to fight the fire more quickly.
Experts are still investigating,but it's clear that the fire has damaged some of these stone statues.
The cause of the fire isn't known yet.But Mr.Edmunds Paoa,the mayor(市长) of Easter Island,believed the fire was not started naturally.“All the fires on Rapa Nui are caused by human beings,” he said.He believed the island needs more government support to be able to deal with situations like this one.
The stone statues have made Easter Island a very popular tourist site.Easter Island has about 160,000 visitors a year.It's now been closed as experts try to learn more about the damage caused by the fire.
( C )1.Easter Island is famous for .
A.the Rapa Nui people
B.the beautiful grassland
C.the ancient stone statues
D.the Rani Raraku volcano
解析:细节理解题。根据“ancient stone statues(雕像) that the island is famous for”可知,复活节岛以古代石像而著名。
( C )2.The fire wasn't controlled quickly because .
①there weren't enough volunteers
②park workers found the fire too late
③the grassland made fire spread easily
④fire fighters left after working for hours
A.①② B.②③
C.①③ D.②④
解析:细节理解题。根据“But the fire spread easily through the grassland around the area...it didn't have enough volunteers to fight the fire more quickly.”可知,大火很容易在该地区周围的草原上蔓延,公园没有足够的志愿者来灭火,这是火势没有很快得到控制的原因。
( A )3.What does the underlined word “investigating” mean in Chinese
A.调查 B.沉默
C.批评 D.赞扬
解析:词义猜测题。根据“The cause of the fire isn't known yet.”和短文最后一句“It's now been closed as experts try to learn more about the damage caused by the fire.”可知,火灾原因尚不清楚,专家们试图进一步了解火灾造成的损失,因此专家们正在“调查”。
( C )4.According to Mr.Edmunds Paoa,what caused the fire
A.The fire happened naturally.
B.The volcano caused the fire.
C.Human beings started the fire.
D.We haven't known the reason.
解析:推理判断题。根据“All the fires on Rapa Nui are caused by human beings”可知,复活节岛市长Edmunds Paoa先生认为拉帕努伊国家公园发生的所有火灾都是由人类引起的。
( D )5.What's the best title for the passage
A.The National Park of Chile
B.The Way to Fight the Wildfire
C.The Statues on Easter Island
D.The Wildfire on Easter Island
解析:最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了复活节岛上的一场野火,包括发生地点、原因和对古代石像造成的损害等。故本文以“复活岛上的野火”为标题最合适。
