Then slowly, there rocks broke up into smaller and smaller pieces. Finally stones, pebble（卵石）and grains of sand were formed. Many sorts of plants and animals lived and died on the surface of the earth. Their remains mixed up with the stones, pebbles and formed soil. The outmost layer of the earth is soil.There are many ways in which large pieces of rock break into smaller ones. Wind, water, heat and cold help to break up rocks. When winds blow grains of sand against a large rock for a long time, the softer layers of the rock are slowly worn away. These leave holes and crack（裂缝）in the rock, which become bigger and finally the rock breaks up into smaller pieces.The moving water of streams and rivers also help to break up rocks. As the water moves along, it carries with it small pieces of rock. These rub the larger ones. Thus, the larger rocks are worn down to smaller pieces.The heat of the sun is also helpful to breaking up rocks. When the sun shines, the rocks become very hot. If these rocks are suddenly cooled, they may crack. Ice also plays a part in making soil. Water in the cracks can turn into ice in cold weather. As this happens, it becomes bigger and the cracks become wider, and finally break into smaller pieces. 68. According to the passage, soil . A. forms very slowly B. is a mixture of stones, pebbles and sand C. make up the layers of the earth D. is becoming smaller and smaller69.

More dead plants in the cracks.根据内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Students will need to use all of their skills in order to understand the reading selections in Readers Choice 71 These selections provide practice on employing different reading skills to get the message of the writerThey also give students practice in four basic reading skills: skimming, scanning, reading for thorough comprehension, and critical reading Skimming involves reading quickly through a text to get an overall idea of its contentsThis kind of rapid reading is suitable when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or 72 Like skimming, scanning is also quick readingHowever, in this case the search is more concentrated 73 When you read to find a particular date, or number you are scanning Reading for thorough comprehension is carefully reading in order to understand the total meaning of the passageAt this level of comprehension the reader is able to summarize the authors ideas 74 Critical reading demands that a reader makes judgments about what he or she readsThis kind of reading requires posting and answering questions such as “ 75 ”, “Do I share the authors point of view?” and “Am I convinced by the authors arguments and evidence?
