第二部分:
The Eye of the Sahara is one of Earth’s most amazing natural wonders. It’s a special place in the desert (沙漠) of Mauritania, Africa. Looking from the sky, it looks like a huge, bright eye! It is as long as 500 football fields. The Eye looks like a big round pizza with different coloured parts.
How was it made? Millions of years ago, the ground under the sand started to rise up. Then, wind and rain slowly wore away the soft rocks (岩石), leaving the hard ones behind. Over time, these hard rocks formed the beautiful circles we see today. From above, you can count about 10 round circles, each one has a different colour. The biggest circle is on the outside, with smaller ones inside.
But the Eye of the Sahara is in trouble. The desert is very dry, and sandstorms often blow over it. The sand can make the rocks difficult to see. Also, not many people know about this amazing place because it’s far from big cities.
What can we do to help? Scientists are studying the Eye to find ways to conserve the rocks from sand. Some people also suggest building a small road or a simple visitor centre nearby. This way, more kids and tourists can come and see the Eye of the Sahara.
42.What can we learn about the circles of the Eye from Paragraph 2?
A.They are all the same size. B.The smallest circle is in the centre.
C.Each circle has the same colour. D.There are about 8 round circles.
43.Why can’t many people visit the Eye of the Sahara easily?
A.Because it’s too small to find. B.Because it’s far from cities.
C.Because it’s always full of water. D.Because it’s too hot to get there.
44.What does the underlined word “conserve” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Climb. B.Hike. C.Develop. D.Protect.
45.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To talk about dangerous sandstorms.
B.To tell how to build a visitor centre.
C.To compare different deserts in Africa.
D.To describe a natural wonder and its challenges.
第三部分:
China has many wetlands (湿地) and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve (自然保护区) is in them. More than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes (鹤) in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Crane Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent floods. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and less space for wildlife.
Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.
46.Usually the weather in the wetlands is ________.
A.hot B.pleasant C.cold D.dry
