Question

A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe. Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean, leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports.
Grimsvotn is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe. What makes
Grimsvotn different is that it lies under a huge glacier（冰川）of ice up to 12 metres thick. The hot volcano heats up the ice above it, which then forms a layer(層)
of water between glacier and the volcano, keeping it stable. As the water flows out from under the glacier, the pressure lifts. The lava(巖漿) from the volcano then comes up to the surface. This is exactly what is happening today.
Now airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash. According to KLM, one of Europe’s biggest airlines, airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it. Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplane’s engines, causing damage to the plane.
The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland. The volcano left ash and sharp, glass-like rocks all over the countryside. Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them eating ash-covered grass or the sharp objects

試題分析：本文詳細(xì)介紹了冰島的火山爆發(fā)對歐洲航空業(yè)的影響，并解釋了冰島火山的特點。
1.D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段第2行What makes Grimsvotn different is that it lies under a huge glacier（冰川）of ice up to 12 metres thick.說明這座火山的特別之處在于它是在于冰川之下。故D正確。
2.C 細(xì)節(jié)題。感覺第二段3，4行The hot volcano heats up the ice above it, which then forms a layer(層)of water between glacier and the volcano, keeping it stable.說明是冰川和火山之間的水壓讓冰山很穩(wěn)定，故C正確。
3.A 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章最后一段The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland. The volcano left ash and sharp, glass-like rocks all over the countryside. Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them eating ash-covered grass or the sharp objects.說明四處落下的火山灰讓動物不能吃外面的草等食物了。故A正確。
4.B 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports.
說明B正確。
