Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1What is erosion(腐蚀)? Erosion is simply when soil is transported on the earths surface from one location to another by a natural cause.This is easy to imagine. Picture a sandcastle on a beach. This sandcastle is particularly beautiful, the work of a whole long, hot summer afternoon. It has three towers, with a great wall running all around. Small square houses sit in an open area in the center. From the tallest tower flies a Pop-sicle-wrapper flag from a small twig flagpole. Its builder sits back, proudly admiring her work. But it is late, and the tide is coming in, bringing the water closer. Finally, the castle is hit with a giant wave. As it pulls out, the builder sees there is nothing left but bits of the towers and a small broken twig. Where has the sand gone? Not very far, really. Its moving around the water that will wash back and forth across the beach all day. Its spread around the beach next to the castle. However, to our eyes, it has disappeared. This is also the way with erosion. Parts of the earth seem to disappear but have really just been moved around.A common example of water changing the landscape is sinkholes. Sinkholes are formed when underground water wears away the dirt and rock that surrounds it. Eventually, the hole underneath the ground is so big, and the earth above it so thin that the surface collapses into the hole, taking with it anything unlucky enough to be on the surface at the time. Sinkholes occur naturally and have been around a very long time. Today, though, many sinkholes are caused by the action of human beings.In fact, today, human beings are one of the things helping to speed up erosion of the earth. Scientists believe that by pumping water from underground, moving sand dunes and other naturally-occurring anti-erosion measures, humans have allowed erosion of the earth to speed up by as much as 40 times. This means that beaches around the world are disappearing, more sinkholes are opening up, and farmland is rapidly becoming desert.1、Whats the authors purpose of describing a sandcastle in Paragraph 2?ATo show the destructive force of nature.BTo recall his happy childhood.CTo catch the readers attention.DTo explain what erosion is.2、What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the passage?AThe hole.BThe ground.CThe earth.DThe surface.3、According to the passage, which of the following can you infer may NOT be the cause of sink-holes?AA lot of high-rises have been built.BPeople pump water from underground.CToo many mines have been opened up.DUnderground water takes away dirt and rock around it.4、Based on the passage, what is most likely to be one result of erosion?ADesertification will speed up.BSinkholes will b
