18、g A, B, C or D.Standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon, gazing across this giant wound in the Earths surface, a visitor might assume that the canyon had been caused by some ancient convulsion (剧烈震动). In fact, the events that produced the canyon, far from being sudden and cataclysmic (剧变的), simply ad
19、d up to the slow and orderly process of erosion.Many millions of years ago, the Colorado Plateau (高原) in the Grand Canyon area contained 10,000 more feet of rock than it does today and was relatively level. The additional material consisted of some 14 layered formations of rock. In the Grand Canyon
20、region these layers were largely worn away over the course of millions of years.Approximately 65 million years ago the plateaus flat surface in the Grand Canyon area bulged upward from internal pressure; geologists refer to this bulging action as upwarping; it was followed by a general elevation of
21、the whole Colorado Plateau, a process that is still going on. As the plateau gradually rose, shallow rivers that meandered (蜿蜒而流) across it began to run more swiftly and cut more definite courses. One of these rivers, located east of the upwarp, was the ancestor of the Colorado. Another river system
22、 called the Hualapai, flowing west of the upwarp, extended itself eastward by cutting back into the upwarp; it eventually connected with the ancient Colorado and captured its waters. The new river then began to carve out the 277-mile-long trench that eventually became the Grand Canyon. Geologists es
23、timate that this initial cutting action began no earlier than 10 million years ago.Since then, the canyon forming has been cumulative. To the corrosive force of the river itself has been added other factors. Heat and cold, rain and snow, along with the varying resistance of the rocks, increase the o
24、pportunities for erosion. The canyon rainfall running off the high plateau creates feeder streams that carve side canyons. Pushing slowly backward into the plateau, the side canyons expose new rocks, and the pattern of erosion continues.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Patterns
25、 of erosion in different mountain ranges. B. Forces that made the Grand Canyon. C. The increasing pollution of the Colorado River. D. The sudden appearance of the Grand Canyon.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).In the first sentence, the author refers to the Grand Canyon as a “wound“ to indicate that _. A. it was

27、e Grand Canyon was _. A. a series of volcanic eruptions B. the collapse of rock formations in the Colorado Plateau C. a succession of floods from the Hualapai River and what is now the Colorado River D. the Earths internal pressure lifting the Colorado Plateau region（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to
28、 the passage, how many miles long was the trench that became known as Grand Canyon? A. 10000 B. 277 C. 14 D. 10（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Which of the following conclusions about the Grand Canyon can be drawn from the passage? A. its contours are constantly changing. B. it contains approximately 14 millio
29、n tons of rock. C. its eruptions have increased in recent years. D. it is being eroded by toxic waste and pollutants.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.七、BPart B/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Directions:Read the text from a magazine article in which several important issues during the 21st century.
