3．阅读A，B，C，D四篇短文，从每小题所给的四个阅读选项中，选出其所能完成问题的答案。
Many kinds of animals lived in the mountain.A deer was eating grass and leaves with her two children.Suddenly，she found that her children entered a tiger's cave.Luckily，the tiger was not inside the cave at the time.
The deer was trying to lead her young ones out of the cave.Suddenly，she saw a tiger was coming
towards the cave.It was dangerous to go out of the cave now.So the deer shouted，"My young children，I shall catch a tiger for you to eat.You can have a good dinner."
The tiger was surprised and said to himself，"Whose is that strange voice from the cave？A dangerous animal is staying inside to catch me.I shall run away."
A fox saw the running tiger. "Why are you running in great fear？" the fox asked.The tiger said， "My friend，a powerful animal has come to stay in my cave.The mother is promising to catch a tiger for the young ones to eat.So，I am running away."
The fox laughed and said to the tiger. "Don't be afraid.No animal is stronger than a tiger.Trust me.Let us tie our tails together.Then I will not be able to leave you."

together.

4．The Exploding Lakes of Cameroon What comes to mind when you think of a lake？You probably imagine a pretty scene with blue water，birds，and fish.For the people in the northwestern Cameroon，however，the image is very different.For them，lakes may mean terrible disasters.In 1984，poisonous gases exploded out of Lake Monoun and came down into the nearby villages，killing thirty-seven people.Two years later，Lake Nyos erupted a cloud of gases rolled down the hills and into the valleys and killed 1，700 people.
Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun are crater （火山口） lakes.They were formed when water collected in the craters of old volcanoes.The volcanoes under Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun are not active anymore.However，poisonous gases from the center of the earth continue to flow up through cracks in the bottom of the lake.This is normal in a crater lake.In most crater lakes，these gases are released often because the water "turns over" regularly.That is，the water from the bottom of the lake rises and mixes with the water at the top，allowing the gases to escape slowly.
However，in Lakes Nyos and Monoun，there is no regular turning over.No one knows the reason for this fact，but as a result，these lakes have more gases tapped at the bottom than other crater lakes.In fact，scientists who have studied Lakes Nyos and Monoun have found 16，000 times more gases.When a strong wind，cool weather，a storm，or a landslide （滑坡） causes the water to turn over suddenly，the gases escape in a violent explosion.
In the past，no one knew when the gases might explode，so there was no way for the villagers to escape disaster.Now scientists from the United States，France，and Cameroon have found a way to reduce the gas pressure at the bottom of Lake Nyos.They stood a 672-foot plastic pipe in the middle of the lake，with one end of the pipe near the bottom and the other end in the air.Near the top of the pipe，the team put several holes that could be opened or closed by a computer.Now，when the gas pressure gets too high，the holes are opened and some of the gas-filled water shoots up through the pipe into the air like a fountain.With less pressure，a disastrous explosion is much less likely.However，the scientists are not sure that one pipe will be enough to prevent explosions.They hope to put in others soon and they plan to install a similar pipe and a computer system at Lake Monoun as well.
To protect people nearby until all of the pipes are in place，the scientists have installed early warning systems at both lakes.If the gas pressure rises to a dangerous level，computers will set off loud sirens （警报） and bright lights to warn the people in the villages.That way，they will have time to escape from the dangerous gases.
（1）What will happen when Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun explode？
A．Water will flow down the hills.
B．Poisonous gases will be released suddenly.
C．A strong wind will rise from the lakes.
D．The volcanoes will come to life.
（2）Which of the following statements about Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun is true？
A．They were formed in 1984.
B．They are at the top of two active volcanoes.
C．They are not like most other crater lakes.
D．Water in them turns over regularly.
（3）Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun explode because，.
A．the gases rise to the top and mix with air
B．people from the villages turn over the water
C．scientists have put in a computer system
D．they have more gases trapped at the bottom than other crater lakes
（4）A team of scientists has.
A．erected a pressure-releasing pipe in the lake
B．identified the gases at the bottom of the lake
C．built a beautiful fountain near the lakes
D．removed all dangerous gases from the lakes
（5）What do we learn from the last paragraph？
A．Scientists are planning to install pipes in all crater lakes.
B．Scientists still do not know how to prevent gas explosions.
C．Explosion disasters could be avoided in the future.
D．Warming systems have been set up in the villages nearby.组卷：2引用：1难度：0.7 -
5．There are desert plants which survive the dry season in the form of inactive seeds.There are also desert insects which survive as inactive larvae（幼虫）.In addition，difficult as it is to believe，there are desert fish which can survive through years of drought in the form of inactive eggs.These are the shrimp（虾） that live in the Mojave Desert，an intensely dry region in the south-west of the United State where shade temperatures of over 50°C are often recorded.
The eggs of the Mojave shrimps are the size and have the appearance of grains of sand.When sufficient spring rain falls to form a lake，once every two to five years，these eggs hatch.Then the water is soon filled with millions of tiny shrimps about a millimeter long which feed on tiny plant and animal organisms which also grow in the temporary desert lake.Within a week，the shrimps grow from their original 1 millimeter to a length of about 1.5 centimeters.
Throughout the time when the shrimps are rapidly maturing，the water in the lake equally rapidly evaporates.Therefore，for the shrimps it is a race against time.By the 12th day，however，when they are about 3 centimeters long，hundreds of tiny eggs form on the underbodies of the females.Usually by this time，all that remains of the lake is a large，muddy patch of wet soil.On the 13th day and the next，during the final hours of their brief lives，the shrimps lay their eggs in the mud.Then，having ensured that their species will survive，the shrimps die as the last of the water evaporates.
If sufficient rain falls the next year to form another lake，the eggs hatch，and once again the shrimps pass rapidly through their cycle of growth，adulthood，egg-laying，and death.Some years there is insufficient rain to form a lake；in this case，the eggs will remain dormant for another year，or even longer if necessary.Very，very occasionally，perhaps twice in a hundred years，sufficient rain falls to form a deep lake that lasts a month or more.In this case，the species passes through two cycles of growth，egg-laying，and death.Thus，on such occasions，the species multiplies considerably，which further ensures its survival.
（1）Which of the following is the most distinctive feature of Mojave shrimps？
A．They live a brief and tough life.
B．They feed on plant and animal organisms.
C．Their eggs can survive years of drought.
D．They lay their eggs in the mud.
（2）The word"dormant" （in Para 4）most probably means.
A．inactive
B．strong
C．alert
D．soft
（3）What can be inferred from the passage？
A．Appearance and size are important factors for life to survive in the desert.
B．A species must be able to multiply quickly in order to survive in the desert.
C．For some species one life cycle in a year is enough to survive the desert drought.
D．Some species develop a unique life pattern to survive in severe conditions.
（4）Which of the following statements is NOT a fact？
A．The eggs of Mojave shrimps are as small as the grains of seeds.
B．The whole cycle of growth of the shrimps is a race against time.
C．It is difficult to believe that these shrimps can survive droughts in the desert.
D．The amount of train has a strong impact on the number of the shrimps.
（5）The passage mainly deals with.
A．the life span of the Mojave shrimps
B．the survival of desert shrimps
C．the creatures living in the Mojave desert
D．the importance of water to life in the desert组卷：3引用：1难度：0.7 -
