1、大學(xué)英語B閱讀理解專項(xiàng)練習(xí)（10年6月）單詞：Ocean： n. 大海，海洋Earth ： n. 地球，泥土，陸地take place of : 代替scientists : 科學(xué)家science : n.科學(xué), 自然科學(xué), 理科rock : n.巖石crack : v.(使)破裂, (使)爆裂Passage 1.When weather is hot, you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot, but

2、it cannot make the weather very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth rises.當(dāng)天氣熱，你去湖邊或海邊。當(dāng)你靠近湖邊海邊，你覺得涼快。為什么？ 太陽使地球熱，但不能讓天氣熱。雖然在地面的空氣變熱了，但是水面的空氣還是涼快的，地面的熱空氣就會(huì)上升。 Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of

3、the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind, and the wind makes you feel cool.然后，水面的涼空氣移動(dòng)進(jìn)入地面代替了熱空氣。當(dāng)空氣移入，你靠近湖邊或海邊，你就會(huì)覺得涼快。你感到有風(fēng)，風(fēng)讓你覺得涼快。 Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why is the ocean full of sa

4、lt?” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean

5、? The ocean does not get more salty every year.” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question. 當(dāng)然，科學(xué)家不能回答所有的問題。如果我們問“為什么海洋充滿鹽？”科學(xué)家可能說鹽來自巖石。當(dāng)巖石很熱或很冷，巖石就爆裂。雨水帶著鹽進(jìn)入土地和河流。河流帶著鹽進(jìn)入海洋。但是我們問海里的鹽又會(huì)怎樣呢？每年海洋的鹽份沒有增加?。靠茖W(xué)家對(duì)此問題的答案就不肯定了。 We know a lot about our world. But there are still many answers t

15、nd restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London.
