中考复习说明文专项练习一、阅读理解Have you ever beard of Iceland? Iceland is a country, one-tenth of which is covered with ice. However, it is said that Iceland is the land of heat. Smoking volcanoes (火山), white steam (蒸汽) and hot springs are more amazing than the other sights including ice there. It has taken millions of years for volcanoes and lava flows (熔岩流) to build Iceland. When hiking through one of Icelands many ancient lava fields, you may notice something strange. White steam is rising from each vent in front of you. Iceland is covered with vents which steam can pass out of. The steam comes from naturally heated rocks and hot water below the Earths surface (表面). Like steam vents, hot springs can be seen here and there in the ancient lava fields. Blue Lake is the most famous hot spring in Iceland. It isnt far from the capital city of the country. The water and white earth in it can make your skin as soft as a newborn babys skin. Enjoy that water, because it has traveled a long way. It starts nearly two kilometers under Blue Lake. There, water from the ocean continues moving up slowly into the spaces between hot rocks below the surface. And then the water is heated by hot rocks. Powerful machines and long pipes (水管) help bring the heated water to the surface. People in Iceland use natural hot water for hot springs. Besides, they use it to create electricity that can be used to heat homes and even greenhouses. Iceland is one of the few places on the Earth where active volcanoes lie below ice. Heat from the volcanoes creates a strange and wild beauty. Therefore, some people believe that its better to call the country “Heatland” instead of Iceland. If you have a chance to travel there, take it.根据短文内容选择最佳答案。1From the passage, are the most amazing sights in Iceland.A. smoking volcanoes and iceB. smoking volcanoes, white steam and hot springsC. heated rocks, hot springs and new lava fields2The underlined word “vent” in the passage means “ ” in Chinese.A. 进入口 B. 回流口 C. 排放口3Picture shows how Blue Lake is formed. 4Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.

My friend, Victor, is a zoo keeper in the National Zoo. His work is very interesting but it is hard. Sometimes it is dangerous, too. Every morning the zoo keepers have to get up at five to prepare the food for the animals. Each kind of animal is given special food. For example, the lions must be given meat; the deer must be given grass and leaves; and the parrots must be given fruit and nuts. Sometimes some animals wont let the others eat their food. If this happens, each of them must be fed separately (分离地). Every morning each cage must be washed by the zoo keepers. This can be dangerous, especially with lions and tigers. To make the work easier, the animals are locked in the sleeping compartments (隔间) while the cages are being washed. When the animals are sick, the zoo keepers must look after them. Each sick animal is kept in a separate cage and given medicine. Sometimes they must be given injections. It is not easy to inject a sick lion!All the keepers live near the zoo. Each of them has a small house. There he lives with his family. They do not have holidays on Sundays and public holidays. Instead, each of them has a day off during the week. Each keeper has a holiday on a different day from that of the other keepers. The most important job of the keepers is to look after the safety of the visitors. People must be prevented from doing dangerous things. Many people have been injured because they did careless things, like putting their hands into the lions cage. 根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。21What kind of food must be given to the animals like tigers, lions and bears?A.
