They form slowly over thousands of years. Most caves are made of limestone. Rainwater mixes with weak acid in the air. When the water flows through rocks, it slowly washes away small parts of the stone. Little by little, empty spaces appear, and large caves come into being. Inside many big caves, you can see special stone shapes called stalactites and stalagmites. Stalactites hang down from cave ceilings, while stalagmites grow up from the ground. They grow only one centimeter every hundred years. It takes millions of years to form a big stone column connecting the top and floor. Caves are also home to special wildlife. Many bats live in dark caves. Some small fish have no eyes, because they never see sunlight underground. However, human activities break cave wonders easily. If people touch the stone shapes or throw rubbish, these slow-growing stones will stop growing and die. Scientists ask all visitors to follow cave rules to protect this quiet underground world. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 16. What material are most caves made of? A. Sand B. Limestone C. Wood D. Clay 17. The underlined word “column” means ____ in Chinese. A. 石柱 B. 水滴 C. 蝙蝠 D. 阳光 18. How fast do stalactites grow? A. One cm every year B. One cm every 100 years C. Ten cm every year D. One meter every 100 years 19. Which one is TRUE about cave life? A. All fish inside caves have big eyes B. No animals can live in dark caves C. Bats are common cave animals D.
