24、their houses.When the village was destroyed,its name was given to the volcano.The news quickly reached Mexico City,far to the east.Many people came to watch the scene.The volcano grew and grew for ten years and hundreds of square miles of forests were destroyed.Then Paricutin went to sleep.21What wa

29、all the distant planets and moons we have explored,is that weve never taken a good look right under our noses.The inside of the earth is relatively close,but how can we get there?The deepest oil well enters only six miles into the crust(地壳) (the center of the earth is about 4,000 miles deep).Russian
30、 scientists dug the deepest hole in Siberia,but bottomed out at about 7.5 miles below the surface.The Mohole project,a U.S.plan in the 1950s,called for drilling a hole 25 miles down to the boundary(分界线) between the hard rocks of the crust and the soft mantle(地幔).Sadly the project involved government
31、 supporting.It gets harder and harder to drill deep into the earth because rocks get softer and softer.Hard but easily broken at the surface,rocks become plastic(可塑的) at depth,and the pressure caused by the weight of the overlaying crustabout 52,800 pounds per square inch at a depth of ten miles,mak
32、es further drilling impossible.What little we know about the inside of the earth comes from indirect evidence,such as the analysis of earthquakes.So maybe its time for a thorough new method to explore the earths inside.Scientist David Stevenson says we should forget about drilling holes.Instead,we s
33、hould open a crack(裂缝).Stevenson suggests digging a crack about a half mile long,a yard wide,and a half mile deep with an explosion on the scale of a nuclear bomb.Next,hed pour a few hundred thousand tons of molten(熔化的) iron into the crack,along with a robot.The iron,thicker than the surrounding cru
34、st,would move downward at about 16 feet per second,carrying the robot with it and opening the crack deeper and deeper.The iron mass would drop for about a week and 2,000 miles to the outer edge of the earth core,the robot sending out data to the surface.Stevenson compares his idea to space explorati
35、on.“Were going somewhere we havent been before,” he says.“In all possibility,there will be surprises.”This idea can probably be put in the drawer marked with“Isnt Going to Happen”.The robot would have to survive temperatures that would melt pretty much anything.But Stevensons idea may inspire a new
36、look at an old problem.Great things can come from what seems like impossible ideas.25Going inside the earth is than going into space. A.more interesting B.more possibleC.easier D.more challenging答案:D解析:推理判断题。从第一段的叙述看出与探索太空相比较,地下相对闭塞,更具有挑战性。26How deep have we gone into the earth until now?A.6 miles.
37、B.4,000 miles.C.7.5 miles. D.25 miles.答案:C解析:细节理解题。从第二段中的“RussianscientistsdugthedeepestholeinSiberia,butbottomedoutatabout7.5milesbelowthesurface.”看出,到目前为止,人类钻出最深的洞是 7.5 英里,B 项是到地心的数据,D 项是计划要挖的深度。27Which of the following is TRUE about David Stevensons idea?A.It is an inspiring but not practical ide

40、staurants.The tourists do not,however,see Pompeiis people.They do not see them because Pompeii has no people.No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years.Once,Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people.It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius,a grass-covered volcano.Mount Vesuvius had not erupted fo
41、r centuries,so the people of Pompeii felt safe.But they were not.In August of AD 79,Mount Vesuvius erupted.The entire top of the mountain exploded,and a huge black cloud rose into the air.Soon stones and hot ashes began to fall on Pompeii.When the eruption ended two days later,Pompeii was buried und
42、er 20 feet of stones and ashes.Almost all of its people were dead.For centuries,Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash.Then,in the year 1861,an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii.Slowly,carefully,Ginseppe and his men dug.The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 7
43、9.There were streets and fountains,houses and shops.There was a stadium with 20,000 seats.Perhaps the most important of all,there were everyday objects,which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii.Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom,so we know that the p
44、eople of Pompeii liked wine.They liked bread,too;metal bread pans were in every bakery.In one bakery there were 81 round,flat loaves of breada type of bread that is still sold in Italy today.Tiny boxes filled with a dark,shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.Ginseppe has died,but
45、his work continues.One-fourth has not been uncovered yet.Scientists are still digging,still making discoveries that draw tourists to Pompeii.29Why do lots of people come to Pompeii each year?A.To visit the volcano.B.To shop and eat there.C.To watch sports and plays.D.To see how Pompeiians lived.答案:D
46、解析:推理判断题。原文没有直接说出参观者到庞贝古城的目的。通读全文可知,庞贝古城是一座被火山吞没的城市。由于火山突然喷发,人们来不及逃避,从而保留了当时人们生活的遗迹。所以参观者来的目的是看一看庞贝人当时是如何生活的。30Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?A.The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.B.The area produced the finest wine in Italy.C.Few people expected the volcano to e
47、rupt again.D.The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.答案:C解析:细节理解题。从第二段后两句话“MountVesuviushadnoteruptedforcenturies,sothepeopleofPompeiifeltsafe.Buttheywerenot.”可以得出结论,几乎没有人想到火山会再次喷发。31Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?A.Because Ginseppe and his men du
48、g it slowly and carefully.B.Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.C.Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.D.Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.答案:B解析:推理判断题。从第二、三两段可知 ,庞贝古城位于维苏威火山山脚下,但维苏威火山有多个世纪没有喷发了。人们以为它不会再喷发,但是,在公
49、元 79 年 8 月,火山突然喷发,整个城市被埋葬在石头和灰尘下。由于火山突然喷发,人们在毫无准备的情况下被埋葬了,所以保留了当时全部的情景。32What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2,000 years ago?A.They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.B.They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.C.They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D.They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.答案:A解析:推理判断题。从倒数第二段所述参观者看到的 2000 年前庞贝人生活的情景可以得出结论,他们当时的生活状况或多或少和现在的意大利人生活的状况相同。第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Autumn blues?Let the sunshine in.Fallin
