组合练十七 (限时练40分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano, erupted again. Melted rock, called lava (熔岩), from the volcano in Hawaii slowly moved towards roads and homes. People asked if anything could be done to stop or change the direction of the lava's flow. Over the years, people have tried to slow the flow of lava from Hawaii's volcanoes using prayer, walls, and even bombs. People have rarely had success in stopping lava. Even with technological progress, stopping lava is difficult and dependent on the speed of the flow and the land. But many in Hawaii question whether anyone should challenge nature. Attempts to divert (使转向) lava have a long history in Hawaii. In 1881, the governor of Hawaii Island called for a day of prayer to stop lava from Mauna Loa as it headed for the town of Hilo. But the lava kept coming. Later, Thomas A. Jaggar, the founder of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, asked the US Army to send airplanes to bomb a Mauna Loa vent to destroy the lava. A volcanic vent is a place on the Earth's surface where lava or gas can escape. The army dropped 20 bombs weighing 272 kilograms. Jaggar said the bombing helped to stop the flow. But geologists today don't quite agree. The lava flow did not end with the bombing. Instead, the flows slowed over the next few days and did not change paths. “Quickly moving lava flows, like those from Kilauea Volcano in 2018, would be more difficult to stop，” said Scott Rowland, a geologist at the University of Hawaii. He said he believed most people in Hawaii would not want to build a wall to protect the highway. Kealoha Pisciotta is a Native Hawaiian cultural practitioner. She said people needed to change to the lava, not the other way around. “We are not separate from nature，” she said. “We are part of nature.” 1．Why did Jaggar ask the army to drop bombs A．To create a way for the lava. B．To slow the speed of the lava. C．To build up a hole to trap the lava. D．To stop a volcano from erupting. 2．What is geologists' attitude towards the bombing A．Critical. B．Grateful. C．Doubtful. D．Supportive. 3．How should we deal with a volcano in Kealoha's opinion A．Leave it as it is. B．Reduce its damage. C．Build a wall to stop it. D．Enjoy its great power. 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text A．Hawaii Volcano Erupts Again B．Stopping Volcanic Eruption Is Not Easy C．Prayers Failed to Stop Lava D．Hawaiians Disagree to Disturb Volcanos [答题区] 题号 1 2 3 4 答案 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Green exercise is a term used to describe any type of physical exercise that takes place in a natural environment, rather than in a health club or gym. __1__ Instead, it relies on the use of natural means of taking part in activities that improve strength and endurance with as little reliance on equipment as possible. __2__ For example, some consider a truly natural exercise experience requires that the individual wear clothing only made from natural fibres.
