　　专四阅读理解练习题 1

　　California is a land of variety and contrast. Almost every type of physical land feature, sort of arctic ice fields and tropical jungles can be found within its borders. Sharply contrasting types of land often lie very close to one another.

　　People living in Bakersfield, for instance, can visit the Pacific Ocean and the coastal plain, the fertile San Joaquin Valley, the arid Mojave Desert, and the high Sierra Nevada, all within a radius of about 100 miles. In other areas it is possible to go snow skiing in the morning and surfing in the evening of the same day, without having to travel long distance.

　　Contrast abounds in California. The highest point in the United States (outside Alaska ) is in California, and so is the lowest point (including Alaska). Mount Whitney, 14,494 feet above sea level, is separated from Death Valley, 282 feet below sea level, by a distance of only 100 miles. The two areas have a difference in altitude of almost three miles.

　　California has deep, clear mountain lakes like Lake Tahoe, the deepest in the country, but it also has shallow, salty desert lakes. It has Lake Tulainyo, 12,020 feet above sea level, and the lowest lake in the country, the Salton Sea, 236 feet below sea level. Some of its lakes, like Owens Lake in Death Valley, are not lakes at all: they are dried瞮p lake beds. In addition to mountains, lakes, valleys, deserts, and plateaus, California has its Pacific coastline, stretching longer than the coastlines of Oregon and Washington combined.

　　Human beings have used tools for a very long time. In some parts of the world you can still find tools that people used more than two million years ago. They made these tools by hitting one stone against another. In this way, they broke off piecesfromone of the stones. These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side. People used them for cutting meat and skinfromdead animals, and also for making other tools out of wood.

　　Human beings needed to use tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat eating animals, such as lions and tigers. Tools helped people to get food more easily. Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence. The human brain grew bigger, and human beings began to invent more and more tools and machines. The stone chip was one of the first tools that people used, and perhaps it is the most important. Some scientists say that it was the key to success of mankind.?

　　1. The stone chip is thought to be the most important tool because it ______.

　　A. was one of the first tools B. developed human capabilities? C. led to the invention of machines

　　D. was crucial to the development of mankind

　　2. At theendof the passage the author seems to suggest that life in future is ______.

　　A. disastrous B. unpredictable C. exciting D. colorful

　　答案解析：

　　1. D) 这是一道细节题。根据文章第二段尾句

　　“Some scientists say that it was the key to the success of mankind”

　　可知“stone chip”对于人类的发展起到了非常重要的'作用，这与D正好相符。

　　2. B) 在文章最后一段中作者说人类在过去的几百万年时间里一直使用“stone chip”，人类社会发生的变化很小。

　　而我们使用“silicon chips”才不过几年，生活却发生了巨大的变化。于是作者发出了疑问：“二十年后的生活会是什么样子的呢?”， “ 二百万年后的世界又会是什么样子呢?”，表明将来的生活无法预料，这与选项B相符
