7.At first,the earth's surface layer (層) was made up of huge blocks of hard,solid rocks.Then slowly,the rocks broke up into smaller and smaller pieces.Finally stones,pebbles (卵石) and grains of sand were formed.Many sorts of plants and animals lived and died on the surface of the earth.Their remains mixed up with the stones,pebbles and formed soil.The outmost layer of the earth is soil.
There are many ways in which large pieces of rock break into smaller ones.Wind,water,heat and cold help to break up rocks.When winds blow grains of sand against a large rock for a long time,the softer layers of the rock are slowly worn away.These leave holes and cracks in the rock,which become bigger and finally the rock breaks up into smaller pieces.
The moving water of streams and rivers also helps to break up rocks.As the water moves along,it carries with it small pieces of rock.These rub the larger ones.Thus,the larger rocks are worn down to smaller pieces.
The heat of the sun is also helpful to breaking up rocks.When the sun shines,the rocks become very hot.If these rocks are suddenly cooled,they may crack.Ice also plays a part in making soil.Water in the cracks can turn into ice in cold weather.As this happens,it becomes bigger and the cracks become wider,and finally break into smaller pieces.
61.According to the passage,soilA.
A.forms very slowly              
B.is a mixture of stones,pebbles and sand
C.makes up the layers of the earth     
D.is becoming smaller and smaller
62.How many factors are mentioned in helping break up rocks?B
A.Three.B.Four.C.Five.D.More than five.
63.Which of the following speeds up(加速) the breaks of rocks most?C

B.If a large rock never moves,it will never break up.
C.Even if a large rock never moves,it will break up.
D.Ice in the cracks helps to break up rocks.

分析 文章主要講述大塊巖石經(jīng)過風化分解而最終形成土壤的過程.

解答 61.A   細節(jié)理解題.第一段詳細描述了土壤的形成過程Then slowly,the rocks broke up into smaller and smaller pieces.Finally stones,pebbles (卵石) and grains of sand were formed.Many sorts of plants and animals lived and died on the surface of the earth.Their remains mixed up with the stones,pebbles and formed soil.The outmost layer of the earth is soil.,大意為"起初,地球表層由大塊堅硬的巖石組成,然后,這些大塊巖石分裂成小塊礫石,千百年來這些礫石與生物的遺體混合,最后形成了土壤",由此可知土壤的形成過程特別漫長.故正確答案為A.
62.B   細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二段Wind,water,heat and cold help to break up rocks.可知幫助土壤形成的因素有4個,故選B.
63.C  細節(jié)理解題.由最后一段第二、三句"When the sun shines,the rock become very hot.If these rocks are suddenly cooled,they may crack."可知,氣溫驟變最可有效促使巖石風化.故正確答案為C.
64.B  細節(jié)理解題.A項,由第一段倒數(shù)第二句"Their remains mixed up with the stones,pebbles and formed soil."可知A項所述與原文匹配,所以A項不符合題干要求.B、C項,文中列舉的各種風化,都未提到巖石移動,所以B項與原文描述不符,符合題干要求;C項與原文匹配,所以C項不符合題干要求.D項,由最后一段最后兩句"Water in the cracks can turn into ice in cold weather.As this happens,it becomes bigger and the cracks become wider,and finally break up into smaller pieces."可知,冰能促使巖石風化分解,所以D項所述與原文匹配,所以D項不符合題干要求.故正確答案為B.
65.A  主旨大意題.通讀全文可知,文章主要講述大塊巖石經(jīng)過風化分解而最終形成土壤的過程,所以A項正確.B項,"分解巖石的方法",無法與本文關(guān)鍵詞 soil 聯(lián)系起來,所以B項錯誤.C項,"地球上的土壤",與文章主要內(nèi)容不符,所以C項錯誤.D項,"土壤,地球最外層",與文章主要內(nèi)容不符,所以D項錯誤.故正確答案為A.

點評 本文是科教類閱讀理解.做這類題材閱讀理解時要求考生對文章通讀一遍,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù)

19.Lazy people will never amount to anything in life.However,laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
(31)CMany people lack sleep constantly,since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work.These people have little motivation once they arrive home.Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things.By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest,you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active.Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from one task to another.Others take a more positive approach,viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.(32)F
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(誘惑) that surround them.A television in the living room may provide entertainment,but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.(33)GComplete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy,such as a good dinner or a film.Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.Couples and children may all have different energy levels,but laziness can be spread if no dealt with immediately.(34)ABe the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal.Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task.It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
(35)Denough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle,thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

A.To fight family laziness,set an example.
B.Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C.One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D.Finally,taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
E.With strong determination,you will be able to achieve your goal.
F.Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
G.Create a reward system for yourself,just as parents do for a child.

16.About 97% of the world's water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas.But,as we can't drink seawater,how can it be important?
Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths.Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food.These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen.In fact,algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe.How important seawater is!
Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain.The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals,which are in turn consumed by larger animals.These food chains are delicately balanced.
The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man.People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn't matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food.But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.
Thankfully,the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine (海的,海產(chǎn)的)habitats.Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions(限制,約束) to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution.Finally,the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people.This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future.We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet.How important seawater is!

31.Which of the following is the proper order of the food chain?B
A.small animals→algae→microscopic animals→large animals→man
B.a(chǎn)lgae→microscopic animals→large animals→man
C.small animals→algae→large animals→microscopic animals→man
D.microscopic animals→algae→large animals→larger animals→man
32.People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the seaD.
A.wouldn't harm the fish in the sea
B.would change the balance of the food chain
C.would be broken down in the sea
D.wouldn't do much harm to the sea
33.From the passage,we learn thatC.
A.most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas
B.it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chain
C.excessive fishing has caused the decrease in fish stock
D.it won't be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved
34.Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?B
A.The use of international agreements.
B.Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.
C.The use of new techniques.
D.Raising people's awareness of the need to protect oceans.
35.What would be the best title of the passage?A
A.The importance of seawater.
B.Life in the oceans.
C.How to protect food chains.
D.How to deal with seawater pollution.
