The ocean (大海，海洋) covers a large (大的，大量的) part of the Earth. It's so wide (宽的；宽阔的) and deep (深的，厚的) that we still haven't explored all of it. The average depth of the ocean is about 3,700 metres (米), and in some places, it's even deeper, reaching more than 11,000 metres. If you want to measure the distance from one side of the ocean to the other, it could be thousands of kilometres (千米；公里). Water is everywhere (到处) on Earth. Rivers, which are freshwater (淡水的) sources, run through (穿过；贯穿) different areas. Some rivers flow from the eastern (东方的；东部的) part of a continent to the west. There are also many large lakes inland (向 (或在) 内陆), especially in the northeast (东北；东北方；东北地区) regions of some countries. These lakes are full (有大量的，丰富的) of water and support various forms of life. The water cycle is a fascinating process. Water from the ocean and other water bodies evaporates. As it rises into (到…… 里面，进入) the sky, it cools down and forms (形成；产生) clouds (云；云彩). These clouds move around the planet. When the conditions are right, the water in the clouds turns into ice (冰) or water drops (滴，水珠). Then, these drops fall back to the ground (地，地面) as rain or snow. This process happens all over the planet, and millions (一百万) of litres of water are involved in this continuous cycle. 1. What is the approximate average depth of the ocean? A. About 1,700 metres. B. About 3,700 metres. C. About 5,700 metres. D. About 7,700 metres. 2. Where can large lakes be found according to the passage? A. Only in the eastern part of a continent. B. Only in the western part of a continent. C. In the inland, especially in the north east regions of some countries. D. In the ocean. 3. What occurs when water from the ocean and other water bodies evaporates? A. It falls back to the ground as rain immediately. B. It turns into ice directly. C. It cools down and forms clouds. D. It forms large lakes. 4. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of the ocean. B. The distribution of rivers and lakes. C. The water cycle on our planet. D. The exploration of the ocean. 5. How does water return to the ground? A. Only as rain. B. Only as snow. C. As rain or snow. D. As ice.
