During the rainy season,from November to April,300,000 gallons (加仑) of water pour over the falls every second.There is so much water and mist (薄雾) that it's hard to see the falls.The river and the falls can be very dangerous during this season. 1.From Paragraph 1,we know Victoria Falls are _.

Its size is from as small as a peanut (花生) to as large as a tennis shoe. Seahorses come in many colors, and some even have the ability to change colors to match the environment where they make their homes. ② _ They are the slowest swimmers among fish. Their only way to push themselves forward is by using a tiny fin (鳍) on their back. Often, seahorses hold onto plants with their tails for a faster trip! ③ The seahorses’ biggest danger comes from humans. Seahorses feed on tiny fish and plankton (浮游生物), but chemical (化学品) pollution from human activities makes their food less and less. The climate has changed and ocean temperatures are higher than before because of human activities, which put stress on seahorses’ bodies by influencing their breathing and appetite (食欲). What’s more, because seahorses are poor swimmers, they have trouble running away to a safe area when they can’t live in their usual living place. ④ However, these bad things are far less terrible than the seahorse trade. Over 20 million seahorses are caught and killed each year for use in traditional Chinese medicine. On top of this, thousands of wild seahorses are sold to private aquarium (水族馆) owners every year. ⑤ As it continues, seahorses could disappear by around 2050, but there is still time to save them. Protecting seahorses means never buying them for home aquariums or taking medicine made with them. The whole world needs to protect oceans by cutting down on sea pollution. 6. Which of the following sentences is TRUE about seahorses? A. They have many colors. B. They are good swimmers. C. They are as small as a tennis shoe. D. They like eating plants. 7.
