Questions 71 to 80 are based on the following passage. There are many natural wonders on our planet. They include several of the most beautiful places in the world like mountains, forests, waterfalls, lakes, canyons（峡谷）, and caves. We dont have time to visit all of them, but here are a few examples.In the southeastern mountains of Venezuela（委内瑞拉）, water falls from the top of Devils Mountain into Devils Canyon far below. The water falls from a height of nine hundred seventy-nine meters. It begins to fall in a tightly controlled stream but ends in a beautiful white cloud of mist. Known as Angel Falls, it is the highest waterfall in the world. An American pilot named Jimmy Angel saw the waterfall for the first time in 1933 while flying alone in a small airplane. Years later the waterfall was named after him. His airplane is still on display and considered a national treasure.A small airplane is still the best way to see the falls, although a four-and-a-half-hour boat ride and walk through the jungle allows you to see the falls from below.There is another spectacular mountain. In fact, it is one of the most photographed mountains in the world. It is Mount Fuji, a sleeping volcano about three thousand seven hundred meters high in Japan. The Japanese call it Fujisan. Since ancient times, they have considered it a holy mountain, even reproducing its image on their currency.Mount Fuji is an almost perfectly shaped volcano with bright white snow caps covering the mountaintop most of the year. On a clear day people can see it from both the major cities of Tokyo and Yokohama. The easiest way to see the famous mountain is riding the train from Tokyo to Osaka or climbing the mountain to get an even better look. Not all wonders are mountains of course. In 1540, Spanish explorer Garcia Lopez de Cardenas was exploring the American southwestern desert. His exploration team had been traveling north from Mexico when their exploration was stopped. They could not continue because of an enormous hole in the ground.Most of the canyon was more than one thousand two hundred meters deep and more than three hundred kilometers long. This huge deep canyon extended as far as the explorers could see. The sunlight made deep shadows and combined with the movement of the clouds to change the shape and color of things.Now known as the Grand Canyon, it is one of the most studied natural areas in the world. The Colorado River, which sits at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, took several million years to cut through the hardened rock.Visitors today do not have a problem reaching the bottom of the Grand Canyon and the great Colorado River. Many people take long exciting trips in rubber boats.The final example is not something above ground. It is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It extends more than two thousand kilometers along Australias northeast coast and is the largest group of coral reefs in the world. A reef is usually under water or just above it and is formed from the hardened remains of dead sea animals. The reef contains billions of brightly colored microscopic creatures and also supports many different kinds of fish, birds, and mammals（哺乳动物）. Millions of visitors from around the world come every year to enjoy the Great Barrier Reef. Some use glass bottom boats so they can see the fish and the colorful coral while others choose to swim among the fish.Scientists believe the Great Barrier Reef is about thirty million years old, and their concern persuaded the Australian government to take the necessary steps to legally protect it. Now the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. There are many more natural wonders all across the globe, and they are easy to visit if you have a computer. If your computer can connect to the Internet, you too can enjoy these beautiful sights. Have fun exploring.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡上作答。71. The four natural wonders mentioned in the passage are _. A.
