People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will impress us forever.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
How the Grand Canyon (大峽谷) was created remains one of the geology's greatest mysteries. Some evidence suggests that the process was a gradual one in which the Colorado River (which runs through the canyon) slowly cut deeper and deeper into the ground over millions of years. But volcanic rock samples taken from the canyon now suggest that the canyon was down-cut instead.
Down-cutting is when a flood of water rushes over a landscape (地形) with enough force to cut deeply into the ground and leaves behind a canyon. Such a flood is usually released when a natural or man-made dam (堤壩) bursts.
Robert Webb, a research geologist, says natural dams seem to have formed and broken across the Colorado River several times during the last million years. The dams were built when lava(熔巖) from the eruptions of nearby volcanoes flowed into the river. The lava hardened into hard rocks and blocked the river, causing it to back up and form a lake. Each time the lake grew so huge that it broke the rock dam, releasing a flash flood that furthered the down-cutting process and deepened the canyon.
Down-cutting is not just an earthly event. Satellite photos sent back from Mars suggest that the process has happened there, too, say many other researchers.
The photos, taken by the Mars Global Surveyor, indicate that an enormous lake existed on Mars 3.5 billion years ago. The lake spilled into a large nearby hole. One edge of the hole broke, releasing a flash flood that quickly carved out a grand canyon.
The existence of down-cutting on Mars is just one more piece of evidence that the cold, dry planet was once warm and wet.
（1）In the past, deep canyons were believed to have formed _______.
A.as a result of a sudden break of volcanoes
B.due to river flows over millions of years
C.owing to the burst of artificial dams
D.thanks to our ancestors' creative work
（2）According to the passage, which of the following statements is TURE?
A.Several volcanoes broke out on Mars directly creating grand canyons.
B.Several great lakes existed on the upper parts of the Colorado River.
C.People built high dams on the upper parts of the Colorado River.
D.The Colorado River crossed the Grand Canyon to form down-cutting.
（3）From the last three paragraphs we learn that _______.
A.there are great lakes on Mars
B.there are active volcanoes on Mars
C.there might be cities on Mars
D.there might be life on Mars
（4）The passage can be titled as _______.
A.Lakes on Earth and Mars
B.The Cause of Lake Formation
C.The Force of Dam Breaking
D.Canyons—Results of Flood Cutting

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own，not because they have no one to travel with，but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. ＂It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.＂ Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries，with no one to help you read a map，look after you if you get ill，or lend you money if your wallet is stolen，it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website，The Aussie Nomad，to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. ＂The people you meet，the places you visit，or the things you do，everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，＂ said the 30-year-old man.
Richardson describes traveling alone like ＂a shot in the arm＂，which ＂makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything＂. He said，＂The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.＂
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said，＂Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.＂
（1）Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A.It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
B.It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C.Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
D.Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
（2）Traveling alone is challenging because ________.
A.you can only depend on yourself whatever happens
B.it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
C.you have to make things on your own
D.it will finally build your character
（3）What can we infer about Chris Richardson?
A.He started traveling alone at an early age.
B.He was once shot in the arm.
C.His website inspires others a lot.
D.He used to work as a salesman.
（4）What is the best title for the passage?
A.Travel Abroad
B.Travel Light
C.Travel Alone
D.Travel Wide and Far
