You must have heard of the legend (传说) of Yu Gong, who tried to move two mountains. The Taihang Mountain was one of the two mountains.
The Taihang Mountain passes through the areas of Hebei, Shanxi, Henan and Beijing. It is about 500 kilometers long. It is one of the largest mountain ranges in North China, and it was called “the backbone (脊梁) of China” in ancient times.
Many legends about the beginning of human civilization come from the Taihang area. For example, Nuwa used stones to repair the sky to make sure that humans would have a better future; Hou Yi protected everyone by shooting the suns.
The Taihang Mountain is not only a place where the ancient stories happened, but also a place where tens of thousands of fossils (化石) were found. These fossils show how the earth has changed over time. At the same time, we can also learn about how ancient humans lived from the discoveries around the area.
Nowadays, there are natural forests around the area with beautiful colours in four seasons. In spring, the trees of the Taihang Mountain will grow green leaves. In summer, the trees will grow luxuriantly (茂盛地) and their leaves will block the sun. In autumn, the trees in the Taihang Mountain are tall and their leaves turn yellow. In winter, the trees are covered with snow, like a thick white coat. You can go there whenever you want because it is beautiful all year round.
If you want to learn different things about history, culture and other important knowledge, you can come to the Taihang Mountain and feel its greatness.

Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, and Lake Superior, known as the Great Lakes, make up the largest fresh surface water system in the world.
The Great Lakes cover about 245,660 km². So how much fresh water is that? A lot! Scientists think the Great Lakes hold about 22 percent of the world's fresh surface water supply (供应) and about 95 percent of the United States’ supply.
Although the Great Lakes are made up of five different lakes, together they become one big body of fresh water. Water flows (流) from Lake Superior to Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. It then flows south to Lake Erie before following the Niagara River over Niagara Falls and into Lake Ontario. At last, the St. Lawrence River takes Lake Ontario’s water to the Atlantic Ocean.
Besides the five Great Lakes themselves, many rivers and thousands of smaller lakes—called “inland (内陆的) lakes”—are part of the system. The Great Lakes are so big that they are more like inland seas than typical lakes. People can even surf (冲浪) on parts of the Great Lakes if the weather conditions are right!
When children see one of the Great Lakes for the first time, they might think it's the ocean in the wrong way because of its large size. There are many ways to have fun in, on and around the Great Lakes. Besides swimming, boating and fishing, there are many fun places to visit.

Our planet has many amazing places, and one of them is Vinicunca in Peru. Known as the Rainbow Mountain, it is famous for its bright lines of red, yellow, green, and purple. It is part of the Andes Mountains, the longest mountain range (山脉) on earth. At 5,200 meters tall, the Rainbow Mountain makes visitors feel like stepping into a magical world!
The colorful lines come from different rocks under the ground. For example, iron (铁) in the rocks turns red when it meets air, and sulfur (硫磺) makes the bright yellow lines. Over thousands of years, wind and rain slowly washed away dirt and ice, showing these colorful parts. Scientists say nature is like an artist! The colors also change with the weather—they look bright in sunlight and softer on cloudy days.
Before 2015, the Rainbow Mountain was covered in ice. When the ice turned into water because of warmer weather, the colors became perceptible. Now, many travelers visit it every year. But tourism can harm the mountain. To protect it, local villagers control the number of visitors and ask everyone to follow the rules, like taking rubbish home.
The Rainbow Mountain reminds us that the earth's wonders are both beautiful and easily harmed. Thus, everyone’s action matters: treating nature with respect, supporting (支持) local guides, and sharing its story can all help ensure this colorful wonder remains for the future.

These flowers are not quite the same as what we often see in gardens or parks. And there are hundreds of different kinds of flowers in this valley. When the flowers bloom, the valley looks like a magical world.
There are also a lot of wild plants, such as trees and grass, in the Valley of Flowers. They are special. Some of them are hard to find anywhere else in the world. What’s more, some endangered animals live in the valley, like snow leopards.
Now people have turned the Valley of Flowers into a national park to protect wild plants and endangered animals there. Visitors can’t even stay there for too long at a time. They can only stay there for one day. It’s probably not long enough for visitors to see all the real beauty there.

53.黄山国家森林公园的“Five Natural Wonders”(五大自然奇观)里写了:“amazing pines,strangely-shaped rocks,seas of clouds,hot springs and winter snow”。所以Hot springs(温泉)、Amazing pines(奇松)是黄山的特色。Wuzhi Shan(五指山)、Yingge Ling(鹦哥岭)是海南热带雨林国家公园的景点,不属于黄山国家森林公园。
54.文章标题是“Explore the Natural Beauty of China in National Parks!(在国家公园探索中国自然之美)”,目的是介绍这些公园的美景,号召大家去参观游览。故选C。

60.根据第二段中的“about 245,660 km²”、“22 percent”、“95 percent”等具体数字可知,作者通过列数字的方式说明五大湖的淡水量很大。
61.第三段中“Water flows (流) from Lake Superior to Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. It then flows south to Lake Erie... into Lake Ontario. At last, the St. Lawrence River takes Lake Ontario’s water to the Atlantic Ocean.”按顺序描述了水从苏必利尔湖流向密歇根湖、休伦湖、伊利湖,经尼亚加拉瀑布进入安大略湖,最后经圣劳伦斯河汇入大西洋,主要说明五大湖的水如何流入海洋。
62.第四段指出:“The Great Lakes are so big that they are more like inland seas than typical lakes.” 这句话直接说明了五大湖之所以像内陆海,是因为它们的面积非常巨大。
63.文章最后一段提到:“Besides swimming, boating and fishing, there are many fun places to visit.” 既然文章结尾提到了除了水上活动外还有许多有趣的地方可以参观,接下来的段落很可能会具体介绍这些地方。

【解析】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了秘鲁的“彩虹山”Vinicunca,包括其地理位置、颜色形成的原因、气候变化对它的影响、旅游带来的问题以及保护措施,并呼吁人们尊重自然、保护环境。
65.根据第一段“It is part of the Andes Mountains” 以及 “At 5,200 meters tall”,这直接说明彩虹山“是安第斯山脉的一部分,且高度超过5000米”。
66.根据第二段“The colorful lines come from different rocks under the ground.” 以及 “For example, iron in the rocks turns red... sulfur makes the bright yellow lines.”,因此本段主旨是“彩虹山颜色的成因”。
67.根据第三段“When the ice turned into water because of warmer weather, the colors became perceptible.” 结合上文,之前彩虹山被冰雪覆盖,颜色看不见;冰雪融化后,颜色“变得可以被看见”。因此perceptible意为“看得见的、明显的”。
68.根据最后一段“The Rainbow Mountain reminds us that the earth’s wonders are both beautiful and easily harmed. Thus, everyone’s action matters...”,因此作者的写作目的是“介绍一个自然奇观并呼吁保护它”。
69.全文围绕彩虹山这一自然景观展开,介绍了它的颜色、形成原因、气候影响和保护措施,因此文章的主题是“自然”。

71.第三段明确指出“It’s the best time to see the Yangtze River on the bridge. It looks like a long huge dragon, truly amazing.”,现在是在桥上观赏长江的最佳时节。它像一条绵长巨大的龙,简直太壮观了。It指代前文描述的长江。

You must have heard of the legend (传说) of Yu Gong, who tried to move two mountains. The Taihang Mountain was one of the two mountains.
The Taihang Mountain passes through the areas of Hebei, Shanxi, Henan and Beijing. It is about 500 kilometers long. It is one of the largest mountain ranges in North China, and it was called “the backbone (脊梁) of China” in ancient times.
Many legends about the beginning of human civilization come from the Taihang area. For example, Nuwa used stones to repair the sky to make sure that humans would have a better future; Hou Yi protected everyone by shooting the suns.
The Taihang Mountain is not only a place where the ancient stories happened, but also a place where tens of thousands of fossils (化石) were found. These fossils show how the earth has changed over time. At the same time, we can also learn about how ancient humans lived from the discoveries around the area.
Nowadays, there are natural forests around the area with beautiful colours in four seasons. In spring, the trees of the Taihang Mountain will grow green leaves. In summer, the trees will grow luxuriantly (茂盛地) and their leaves will block the sun. In autumn, the trees in the Taihang Mountain are tall and their leaves turn yellow. In winter, the trees are covered with snow, like a thick white coat. You can go there whenever you want because it is beautiful all year round.
If you want to learn different things about history, culture and other important knowledge, you can come to the Taihang Mountain and feel its greatness.

Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, and Lake Superior, known as the Great Lakes, make up the largest fresh surface water system in the world.
The Great Lakes cover about 245,660 km². So how much fresh water is that? A lot! Scientists think the Great Lakes hold about 22 percent of the world's fresh surface water supply (供应) and about 95 percent of the United States’ supply.
Although the Great Lakes are made up of five different lakes, together they become one big body of fresh water. Water flows (流) from Lake Superior to Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. It then flows south to Lake Erie before following the Niagara River over Niagara Falls and into Lake Ontario. At last, the St. Lawrence River takes Lake Ontario’s water to the Atlantic Ocean.
Besides the five Great Lakes themselves, many rivers and thousands of smaller lakes—called “inland (内陆的) lakes”—are part of the system. The Great Lakes are so big that they are more like inland seas than typical lakes. People can even surf (冲浪) on parts of the Great Lakes if the weather conditions are right!
When children see one of the Great Lakes for the first time, they might think it's the ocean in the wrong way because of its large size. There are many ways to have fun in, on and around the Great Lakes. Besides swimming, boating and fishing, there are many fun places to visit.

Our planet has many amazing places, and one of them is Vinicunca in Peru. Known as the Rainbow Mountain, it is famous for its bright lines of red, yellow, green, and purple. It is part of the Andes Mountains, the longest mountain range (山脉) on earth. At 5,200 meters tall, the Rainbow Mountain makes visitors feel like stepping into a magical world!
The colorful lines come from different rocks under the ground. For example, iron (铁) in the rocks turns red when it meets air, and sulfur (硫磺) makes the bright yellow lines.

There are also a lot of wild plants, such as trees and grass, in the Valley of Flowers. They are special. Some of them are hard to find anywhere else in the world. What’s more, some endangered animals live in the valley, like snow leopards.
Now people have turned the Valley of Flowers into a national park to protect wild plants and endangered animals there. Visitors can’t even stay there for too long at a time. They can only stay there for one day. It’s probably not long enough for visitors to see all the real beauty there.
