I looked to the east—the sky was becoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there. After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. "Am I going the right way?" I asked. He knew where I was going. "Yes," he replied, "you'll get there in five minutes." Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it. Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river. I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world—the Grand Canyon. I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles. The Grand Canyon was not just big. It was huge! I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself, "Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world?" I certainly know the answer. What do you think? 1. What was the weather like when the writer arrived? A. Sunny and warm B. Rainy and grey C. Cloudy and cold D. Windy and dry 2. How long did it take the writer to get to the destination after meeting the stranger? A. About a mile B. About five minutes C. About half an hour D. About twenty minutes 3.

Nearly one mile B. About fifteen miles C. More than 200 miles D. About five miles 5. What can we learn from the passage? A. The writer doubted whether the Grand Canyon is a natural wonder B. The Colorado River is at the top of the Grand Canyon C. The Grand Canyon has a very large size D. The writer arrived at night B A group of students are having a lively discussion about the Wonders of the World. They are talking about whether natural wonders are more amazing than man-made ones, and each of them has their own favorite wonder to share. Tony is a big fan of natural wonders. He insists that they are far more interesting than those built by humans. His top pick is the Giant's Causeway. He visited this amazing place two years ago and still remembers every detail clearly. "It's absolutely massive," Tony says excitedly. "There are around 40,000 rocks there, and most of them have six sides. It stretches for hundreds of meters along the eastern coast of Northern Ireland. You can't help but feel shocked by the power of nature when you stand there." Lingling hasn't seen the Giant's Causeway yet, so she's not fully convinced by Tony's words. Instead, she thinks Victoria Falls in Africa is even more fantastic. "It's about 1,700 meters wide and 100 meters high," Lingling introduces. "The water crashes down with such force that you can hear the loud roar several kilometers away. It's a truly breathtaking sight." Betty, however, holds a different opinion. She believes that man-made wonders show the great creativity and wisdom of humans. Her favorite man-made wonder is the Great Wall of China. "It's one of the most famous wonders in the world. It runs for over 20,000 kilometers across northern China. It was built to protect the country hundreds of years ago, and now it's visited by millions of tourists every year," Betty says proudly. 6. What are the students mainly discussing? A. Different trips to the wonders of the world B. How natural wonders are formed C. Whether natural wonders are more amazing than man-made ones D. The history of man-made wonders 7. Which natural wonder does Tony like best? A. The Grand Canyon B. Victoria Falls C. The Giant's Causeway D. The Great Barrier Reef 8. How many rocks are there in the Giant's Causeway according to Tony? A. Around 40,000 B. About 1,700 C. More than 200 D. Over 20,000 9. Why does Lingling think Victoria Falls is fantastic? A. It has thousands of special rocks B. Its water fall is wide and powerful C. It is the longest wall in the world D. It is located in Northern Ireland 10. What does Betty think of man-made wonders? A. They are not as interesting as natural wonders B. They show humans' creativity and wisdom C. They are difficult to build D. They are only famous in China C Natural wonders are formed by nature over millions of years, and they often surprise people with their amazing beauty and size. The Grand Canyon is one of the most famous examples. It was carved by the Colorado River over a long period of time. The river's water wore away the rocks slowly, creating the huge canyon we see today. The Giant's Causeway is another amazing natural wonder. Scientists believe that it was formed by volcanic activity. When the hot lava cooled down quickly, it turned into the six-sided rocks that make up the Causeway. The special shape of the rocks attracts visitors from all over the world. Victoria Falls, located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, is also a product of nature. The Zambezi River flows over a large cliff and forms the falls. The force of the falling water creates a huge cloud of mist, which can be seen from miles away. It's no wonder that it's known as "The Smoke That Thunders". 11. How was the Grand Canyon formed? A. By volcanic activity B. By the Colorado River's erosion C. By human's hard work D. By a big earthquake 12. What caused the formation of the Giant's Causeway? A. River erosion B. Wind and rain C. Volcanic activity D. Climate change 13. Where is Victoria Falls located? A. Between Zambia and Zimbabwe B. In Northern Ireland C. In the US D. In China 14. What is Victoria Falls also called? A. The Great Wonder B. The Smoke That Thunders C. The Silver Stream D. The Massive Rocks 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How some famous natural wonders were formed B. The differences between natural and man-made wonders C. The history of the Colorado River D. Tips for visiting natural wonders D Visiting the wonders of the world is a dream for many people. Here are some tips to make your trip more enjoyable and comfortable. First, plan your trip ahead of time. Find out the best time to visit the wonder. For example, the Grand Canyon is very hot in summer, so it's better to go there in spring or autumn. You should also book your accommodation early, especially if you're traveling during the peak season. Second, prepare the right clothes and equipment. If you're going to a place like Victoria Falls, you should bring a raincoat because of the mist. For hiking in the Grand Canyon, comfortable shoes and a hat are necessary to protect you from the sun. Third, follow the rules and protect the wonders. Don't leave rubbish behind, and don't climb on the rocks or plants. Remember that these wonders are not only for us to enjoy, but also for future generations. 16. What is the best time to visit the Grand Canyon according to the passage? A. Summer B. Winter C.
