A
Our
planet
was
born
some
billions
of
years
ago.Ever
since
this
planet
developed，it
has
surprised
us
human
beings.No
matter
how
much
we
human
beings
have
developed
technologically，we
cannot
ever
create
this
kind
of
natural
planet.The
human
race
can
only
discover
some
amazing
facts
about
it.Let
us
find
out
what
some
of
them
are.
On
September
13,1922
El
Azizia，a
place
in
Libya，recorded
a
temperature
of
136
degrees
Fahrenheit.This
was
the
highest
temperature
ever
measured
on
the
planet
Earth.The
highest
waterfall
in
the
world
is
Angel
Falls
in
Venezuela，which
drops
from
an
amazing
height
of
3,212
feet.The
waterfall
drops
over
the
edge
of
Auyantepui
in
the
Canaima
National
Park.The
gravitational
pull(万有引力)
of
the
Earth
can
be
escaped
if
someone
moves
at
a
speed
of
6.95
miles
per
second.At
such
a
speed，one
could
travel
from
New
York
to
Philadelphia
in
just
20
seconds.If
the
entire
water
in
the
world’s
oceans
evaporated，the
salt
we
got
from
these
oceans
could
cover
the
entire
planet
with
a
500-foot
deep
layer
of
salt.The
deepest
lake
on
Earth
is
Lake
Baikal
in
Russia.Lake
Baikal
is
the
largest
freshwater
lake
in
the
world，containing
about
20%
of
the
world’s
unfrozen
surface
fresh
water.The
Andes
in
South
America
spreads
over
4,525
miles.This
is
the
longest
mountain
range
in
the
world.
Did
you
know
that
the
biggest
valley
in
the
world
is
the
Grand
Valley
in
Mesa
County，Colorado
and
Grand
County，Utah?
It
is
about
30
miles
(48km)
long
and
5
miles
(8km)
wide，along
the
Colorado
River.The
amazing
facts
about
the
earth
are
too
many
to
be
told
completely
above.
1．The
underlined
word
“evaporated”
in
Paragraph
2
most
probably
means
“
”．
A．became
salt
gradually
B．became
clear
slowly
C．changed
into
warmer
water
D．changed
into
gas
or
disappeared
2．Where
is
the
longest
mountain
range
in
the
world?
A．In
Russia.
B．In
Libya.
C．In
South
America.
D．At
the
Oregon-Idaho
border.
3．We
can
learn
from
this
passage
that
.
A．Lake
Baikal
is
the
biggest
lake
in
the
world
B．the
highest
temperature
ever
measured
was
136
℃
C．the
Angel
Falls
drops
from
a
height
of
3,212
meters
D．one
end
of
the
Grand
Valley
is
in
Colorado
and
the
other
in
Utah
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了几个“世界之最”的自然现象和自然奇观。
1．答案D
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“the
salt
we
got
from
these
oceans
could
cover
the
entire
planet
with
a
500-foot
deep
layer
of
salt”可知，此处是说如果世界上海洋里的海水全部蒸发掉，故D项正确。
2．答案C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句可知，位于南美洲的安第斯山脉是世界上最长的山脉，故C项正确。
3．答案D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，Grand
Valley的一端在科罗拉多州，而另一端在犹他州，故D项正确。
B
Unlike
modern
animal
scientists，dinosaur
scientists
cannot
sit
on
a
hillside
and
use
telescopes
to
watch
dinosaurs
in
order
to
know
how
they
lived
and
whether
they
were
good
parents.Instead，they
have
to
search
hard
for
information
from
dinosaurs’
fossils(恐龙化石)
because
dinosaurs
died
out
millions
of
years
ago.
It’s
very
difficult
for
the
scientists
to
reach
an
agreement
because
different
results
can
be
got
from
the
same
fossils.Many
fossils
of
the
same
kind
of
dinosaurs
have
been
dug
out
from
one
place.They
might
have
formed
when
an
entire
group
of
dinosaurs
got
stuck(陷入)
all
at
once，or
they
might
have
been
the
result
of
dinosaurs
getting
stuck
one
after
another
over
a
course
of
a
few
centuries.Thus
we
can
say
that
dinosaurs
might
have
in
the
first
case
lived
in
big
groups
and
in
the
second
lived
alone.
Though
there
are
two
different
results，dinosaur
scientists
now
generally
agree
that
at
least
some
kinds
of
dinosaurs
lived
in
big
groups.“That’s
pretty
much
settled
at
this
point，”
says
Paul
Sereno.A
kind
of
dinosaurs
called
Sauropods
left
behind
tracks
in
the
western
United
States
that
appear
to
run
north
and
south，suggesting
that
they
even
moved
long
distances
together.
As
to
whether
dinosaurs
cared
for
their
young，dinosaur
scientists
have
turned
to
the
closest
living
relatives
of
dinosaurs—birds
and
crocodiles—for
possible
models.Birds
give
a
lot
of
care
to
their
young，while
crocodiles
just
help
their
young
to
the
water.The
discovered
fossils
of
dinosaurs
sitting
on
their
eggs
and
staying
with
their
young
suggest
the
parents
were
taking
care
of
their
babies，but
we
still
cannot
say
that
all
dinosaurs
did
the
same.
There
is
still
a
long
way
to
go
before
the
above
questions
could
be
answered.Dinosaur
scientists
will
have
to
find
more
proof
to
reach
an
agreement.
4．Dinosaur
scientists
can
get
information
directly
by
.
A．studying
dinosaur
fossils
B．examining
modern
animals
C．watching
dinosaurs
D．using
telescopes
5．What
is
pretty
much
settled
according
to
Paul
Sereno?
A．Half
of
the
dinosaurs
lived
alone.
B．Most
dinosaurs
moved
long
distances.
C．Many
dinosaurs
settled
in
the
north.
D．Some
dinosaurs
lived
in
big
groups.
6．Dinosaur
scientists
can
probably
know
whether
dinosaurs
were
good
parents
by
.
A．watching
many
kinds
of
animals
B．studying
dinosaurs’
living
relatives
C．following
the
tracks
left
behind
D．working
on
dug-out
dinosaur
eggs
7．Which
of
the
following
is
TRUE
according
to
Paragraph
4?
A．Birds
hardly
pay
attention
to
their
young.
B．Baby
crocodiles
can
look
after
themselves
well.
C．Some
dinosaurs
took
care
of
their
young.
D．Birds
and
crocodiles
take
good
care
of
their
young.
【语篇解读】研究恐龙的科学家通过研究恐龙化石来得到一些关于恐龙的信息，但对于同一个化石却有不同的研究结果。在研究恐龙是否能照看好幼崽方面，科学家们研究了恐龙的近亲——鸟类和鳄鱼，但没有完全解答这些问题。
4．答案A
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...they
have
to
search
hard
for
information
from
dinosaurs’
fossils(恐龙化石)...”可知研究恐龙的科学家通过研究恐龙化石来得到一些信息，故A项正确。
5．答案D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段前两句可知Paul
Sereno说科学家们都认为至少某些种类的恐龙群居，故D项正确。
6．答案B
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第一句中的“...dinosaur
scientists
have
turned
to
the
closest
living
relatives
of
dinosaurs—birds
and
crocodiles—for
possible
models.”可知科学家们通过研究现存的恐龙的近亲——鸟类和鳄鱼来判断恐龙是否能照看好它们的幼崽。
7．答案C
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段可知鸟类能很好地照顾幼鸟，而鳄鱼只是帮助幼崽进入水里，并没有很好地照顾幼崽。化石表明一些恐龙照顾幼崽，但并不能说所有的恐龙都是如此，因此C项符合题意。

A
Our
planet
was
born
some
billions
of
years
ago.Ever
since
this
planet
developed，it
has
surprised
us
human
beings.No
matter
how
much
we
human
beings
have
developed
technologically，we
cannot
ever
create
this
kind
of
natural
planet.The
human
race
can
only
discover
some
amazing
facts
about
it.Let
us
find
out
what
some
of
them
are.
On
September
13,1922
El
Azizia，a
place
in
Libya，recorded
a
temperature
of
136
degrees
Fahrenheit.This
was
the
highest
temperature
ever
measured
on
the
planet
Earth.The
highest
waterfall
in
the
world
is
Angel
Falls
in
Venezuela，which
drops
from
an
amazing
height
of
3,212
feet.The
waterfall
drops
over
the
edge
of
Auyantepui
in
the
Canaima
National
Park.The
gravitational
pull(万有引力)
of
the
Earth
can
be
escaped
if
someone
moves
at
a
speed
of
6.95
miles
per
second.At
such
a
speed，one
could
travel
from
New
York
to
Philadelphia
in
just
20
seconds.If
the
entire
water
in
the
world’s
oceans
evaporated，the
salt
we
got
from
these
oceans
could
cover
the
entire
planet
with
a
500-foot
deep
layer
of
salt.The
deepest
lake
on
Earth
is
Lake
Baikal
in
Russia.Lake
Baikal
is
the
largest
freshwater
lake
in
the
world，containing
about
20%
of
the
world’s
unfrozen
surface
fresh
water.The
Andes
in
South
America
spreads
over
4,525
miles.This
is
the
longest
mountain
range
in
the
world.
Did
you
know
that
the
biggest
valley
in
the
world
is
the
Grand
Valley
in
Mesa
County，Colorado
and
Grand
County，Utah?
It
is
about
30
miles
(48km)
long
and
5
miles
(8km)
wide，along
the
Colorado
River.The
amazing
facts
about
the
earth
are
too
many
to
be
told
completely
above.
1．The
underlined
word
“evaporated”
in
Paragraph
2
most
probably
means
“
”．
A．became
salt
gradually
B．became
clear
slowly
C．changed
into
warmer
water
D．changed
into
gas
or
disappeared
2．Where
is
the
longest
mountain
range
in
the
world?
A．In
Russia.
B．In
Libya.
C．In
South
America.
D．At
the
Oregon-Idaho
border.
3．We
can
learn
from
this
passage
that
.
A．Lake
Baikal
is
the
biggest
lake
in
the
world
B．the
highest
temperature
ever
measured
was
136
℃
C．the
Angel
Falls
drops
from
a
height
of
3,212
meters
D．one
end
of
the
Grand
Valley
is
in
Colorado
and
the
other
in
Utah
B
Unlike
modern
animal
scientists，dinosaur
scientists
cannot
sit
on
a
hillside
and
use
telescopes
to
watch
dinosaurs
in
order
to
know
how
they
lived
and
whether
they
were
good
parents.Instead，they
have
to
search
hard
for
information
from
dinosaurs’
fossils(恐龙化石)
because
dinosaurs
died
out
millions
of
years
ago.
It’s
very
difficult
for
the
scientists
to
reach
an
agreement
because
different
results
can
be
got
from
the
same
fossils.Many
fossils
of
the
same
kind
of
dinosaurs
have
been
dug
out
from
one
place.They
might
have
formed
when
an
entire
group
of
dinosaurs
got
stuck(陷入)
all
at
once，or
they
might
have
been
the
result
of
dinosaurs
getting
stuck
one
after
another
over
a
course
of
a
few
centuries.Thus
we
can
say
that
dinosaurs
might
have
in
the
first
case
lived
in
big
groups
and
in
the
second
lived
alone.
Though
there
are
two
different
results，dinosaur
scientists
now
generally
agree
that
at
least
some
kinds
of
dinosaurs
lived
in
big
groups.“That’s
pretty
much
settled
at
this
point，”
says
Paul
Sereno.A
kind
of
dinosaurs
called
Sauropods
left
behind
tracks
in
the
western
United
States
that
appear
to
run
north
and
south，suggesting
that
they
even
moved
long
distances
together.
As
to
whether
dinosaurs
cared
for
their
young，dinosaur
scientists
have
turned
to
the
closest
living
relatives
of
dinosaurs—birds
and
crocodiles—for
possible
models.Birds
give
a
lot
of
care
to
their
young，while
crocodiles
just
help
their
young
to
the
water.The
discovered
fossils
of
dinosaurs
sitting
on
their
eggs
and
staying
with
their
young
suggest
the
parents
were
taking
care
of
their
babies，but
we
still
cannot
say
that
all
dinosaurs
did
the
same.
There
is
still
a
long
way
to
go
before
the
above
questions
could
be
answered.Dinosaur
scientists
will
have
to
find
more
proof
to
reach
an
agreement.
4．Dinosaur
scientists
can
get
information
directly
by
.
A．studying
dinosaur
fossils
B．examining
modern
animals
C．watching
dinosaurs
D．using
telescopes
5．What
is
pretty
much
settled
according
to
Paul
Sereno?
A．Half
of
the
dinosaurs
lived
alone.
B．Most
dinosaurs
moved
long
distances.
C．Many
dinosaurs
settled
in
the
north.
D．Some
dinosaurs
lived
in
big
groups.
6．Dinosaur
scientists
can
probably
know
whether
dinosaurs
were
good
parents
by
.
A．watching
many
kinds
of
animals
B．studying
dinosaurs’
living
relatives
C．following
the
tracks
left
behind
D．working
on
dug-out
dinosaur
eggs
7．Which
of
the
following
is
TRUE
according
to
Paragraph
4?
A．Birds
hardly
pay
attention
to
their
young.
B．Baby
crocodiles
can
look
after
themselves
well.
C．Some
dinosaurs
took
care
of
their
young.
D．Birds
and
crocodiles
take
good
care
of
their
young.
