The volcano is one of the most surprising frightening forces of nature. Maybe you have seen pictures of these “fireworks” of nature. Sometimes when a volcano erupts, a very large wall of melted rock moves down the side of a mountain. It looks like a “river of fire.” Sometimes volcanoes explode, throwing the melted rock and ashes high into the air. But where does this melted rock come from?

The earth is made up of many layers. The top layer that we see is called the crust. Under the crust are many layers of hard rock. But far, far beneath the crust whose rock is so hot, that it is soft. In some places it even melts. The melted rock is called magma. Sometimes the magma breaks out to the surface through cracks(爆裂聲)in the crust. These cracks are volcanoes.

Most people think of mountains when they think of volcanoes. But not every mountain is a volcano. A volcano is simply the opening in the earth from which the magma escapes. The hot magma, or lava as it is called, cools and builds up on the surface of the earth. Over thousands of years, this pile of cooled lava can grow to be very, very big. For example, the highest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro, is a volcano. It towers more than 16,000 feet above the ground around it.

1. Which words in the passage have the same meaning as “melted rock”?

  A. “Volcano” and “explode”     B. “Crust” and “hard rock”

  C. “magma” and “l(fā)ava”         D. “Volcano” and “magma”

2. Which is the correct order of the layers of the earth(beginning with the top layer)?

 A. crust----hard rock------magma-----soft rock  

 B. crust-----hard rock----- soft rock-----magma

 C. magma-----soft rock----- hard rock-----crust  

 D. volcano-----cracks------magma------crust

3. The best title(標(biāo)題) of the passage should be________.

  A. The Volcano   B. Kilimanjaro Volcano    C. The Mountains   D. The Melted Rock

From the moment that an animal is born it has to make decisions ．It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating , and which are to be avoided ; when to attack and when to run away ．The animal is , in fact , playing a very dangerous game with its environment , a game in which it must make a decision—a matter of life or death ．

Animals’ ability to act reasonably is believed to come partly from what we may call “genetic （遺傳性的）learning” , which is different from the individual （個(gè)體的） learning that an animal does in the course of its own lifetime ．Genetic learning is learning by a species —animals of the same kind—as a whole , and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to act in the right way ．However, the role of genetic learning depends upon how similar the future environment is to the past．The more important individual experience is likely to be , the less important is genetic learning as a means of getting over the problems of the survival game．Because most animals live in ever changing environments from one generation to the next , it is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning．

In the great majority of animals, their particular ways of acting in a new environment are a compound（復(fù)合體）of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born with．That is why animals can survive．

1．The animal’s life will come to an end___________．

   A．if the animal makes a wrong decision           B. if the animal plays a dangerous game
   C．when the animal attacks its enemy            D. when the animal runs too slowly

2．Very few species depend entirely on genetic learning because____________．

   A. each generation has its own way of learning     B. their environments change all the time
C. they can act reasonably on their own         D. it takes their whole life to learn

3．When the environment doesn’t change much ,______________．
A．a(chǎn)nimals cannot act in a right way

   B．genetic learning is less important for animals

   C．individual learning plays a less important role

   D．a(chǎn)nimals cannot get over problems on their on their own

4．Animals’ living on generation after generation depends on__________．

   A．their natural action pattern with their own experience

   B．the lessons they have learnt during their lifetime

   C．their experience in particular environments

   D．the knowledge passed on by their parents

      By the time the Montgomery Improvement Association chose the 26-year-old Martin Luther King, Jr as its leader, the hours-old bus boycott by the black citizens of Montgomery, Alabama, was already a great success．King would later write that his unexpected call to leadership "happened so quickly that I did not have time to think it through．" "It is likely that if I had, I would have turned down the nomination（提名）．"

      Although press reports at the time paid much attention to his public speaking skills, King was actually an unwilling leader of a movement started by others．His later writings and private letters show that he doubted the movement at that time．In the early days of his taking part, King was troubled by telephone threats, disagreement within the black community and Montgomery's "get tough" policy．One night, as he considered ways to "move out of the picture without appearing a coward（懦夫）," he began to pray aloud and, at that moment, "experienced the presence of the God as I had never experienced him before．"

      He would later admit that when the boycott began, he didn't firmly believe in Gandhian（甘地）principles．Although he had been introduced to those in college, he had remained doubtful．"I thought the only way we could solve our problem of segregation（種族隔離 ）was an armed revolution," he recalled．

      Only after his home was bombed in late January did King reconsider his views on violence．（At the time, he was looking for a gun permit and was protected by armed bodyguards．）Competing with each other to influence King were two pacifists（和平主義者）: Bayard Rustin and the Rev．Glenn E．Smiley．Rustin was shocked to discover a gun in King's house, while Smiley told fellow pacifists that King's home was "an arsenal（軍火庫）"．

      By the time the Supreme Court（最高法院）said that the bus company was wrong to separate blacks from whites in November 1956, King had been permanently changed．

      "Living through the real experience of the protest, non-violence became more than a method to which I gave intellectual assent（同意）," he would later explain．"It became a commitment（約束）to a way of life．"

      After the boycott, King allowed himself to think deeply about his growing fame and his own self doubts．"To be honest, I'm worried to death," he said．"A man who succeeds at 27 has a difficult job ahead．People will be expecting me to pull rabbits out of the hat for the rest of my life．"

1．What did King think of his nomination as leader of the Montgomery Boycott?

    A．He hadn't expected it．         B．He had to think about it carefully．

    C．He would refuse to accept it．    D．He was prepared to accept it．

2．Which of the following was the immediate cause that made King change his view on violence?

   A.The education he received in college． B. His belief in the Gandhian principles．

   C．The attack on his home．           D.The influence of two active non-violence men．

3．What happened to King after he successfully led the boycott against the bus company?

    A．He was worried to death．          B．He knew he would be murdered．

    C．He firmly believed in non-violence．   D．He was proud of being famous at an early age．

4．What did King mean by the sentence "People will be expecting me to pull rabbits out of the hat for the rest of my life"?

    A．His dream was to become a magician．

    B．Many people were admiring his great success．

    C．More and more people began to trust him．

    D．People would expect him always to succeed．
