A few form groups which travel together, but most of them travel alone. And they travel through a universe which is so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most important part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbour. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near it.We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering(漫游) through space, happened to come near our sun just as the sun and the moon raised its tides(潮汐) on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; A large tidal(潮汐的) wave must have travelled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and thrown off small parts of itself into space.These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets.（1）Most stars are _.A . following a regular path in spaceB . moving about without a fixed courseC . seldom wandering about in the universeD . always travelling together（2）Some two thousand years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because _.A . the star moved away from the sunB . another star happened to come near the sunC . the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earthD . a large tidal of wave travelled over the surface of the sun（3）The article suggests that _.A . how space formedB . our earth exists before the sunC . no one knows where the earth comes fromD . our earth used to be a high mountain in the sun（4）The expression the cause of the disturbancerefers to _.A . the large tidal waveB . the powerful tidal pullC . the star coming near the sunD . one of suns planets（5）In the article, the writer mainly wants to tell us _.A . where the planets in the universe came fromB . how the high mountains were formed on the sunC . that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine itD . why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerful3. （12分）阅读理解A desert is a very dry land where there is hardly any rain. In the day, it can be so hot that you could fry an egg on the ground. But during the night it is sometimes so cold that water would turn into ice.Many deserts are covered in sand. But some have mountains, rocks, or lakes that have dried up in the heat. The Great American Desert has cliffs（悬崖）that have been made into amazing and beautiful shapes by the wind. The Sahara Desert in Africa is mostly sand. The Australian Desert has red sand.Sometimes it does not rain for a whole year in the desert. But there is water deep under the ground and some plants have roots that go very deep to find it. Other plants have roots that spread out a long way so they cansuck upthe rain as soon as it falls. One desert plant is the cactus, which has long, spreading roots. The cactus stores water inside its hard skin. This skin protects it from heat and cold. Camels are a bit like cactus plants! They store water tooinside their bodies. They have special fur which protects them from the sun during the day and keeps them warm at night.Some other animals live in deserts, too. They have to be very good at seeing and hearing because most of them only come out at night. This is why many desert animals have extra big eyes or ears. A desert fox has bigger ears than a normal fox. A gerbil has huge eyes, so that it can see at night. It stays cool in the day by staying underground, like most desert animals.Some people live in the desert but they always make their homes near an oasis. An oasis is where water comes from an underground river. Near an oasis, people can grow lots of plants and keep animals.Life is hard in the desert, for people, animals and plants. But desert people like to live there. （1）What is the passage mainly about？A . Animal.B . Plants.C . Cliffs.D .
