But you must go there yourself to feel its true size and beauty. Tie Grand Canyon is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. The Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon over mil lions of years. Slowly, the river cut down through hard rock. At the same time. the land was rising. Today. the canyon is one and a half kilometres deep and 445 kilometres long. The el dest rocks at the bottom of the canyon are more than 1 billion years old. The width varies from about 200 metres to 29 kilo metres across. The rim (邊緣) or top of the canyon is about 2, 300 metres above sea level tin the South Rim, and about 3,000 metres on the other side, the North Rink As a result, there are different kinds of plants and animals on opposite sides of the canyon. The South Run is dry desert country. The North Rim has tall forests.The canyon looks different at different times of day. and in different seasons and weather. At sunrise anti sunset the red. gold, brown, and orange colours of the rocks are especially dear and bright. In winter, the canyon is partly covered with snow. The view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the best. Most visitors come to the South Rim and stay in camp- grounds or hotels. Every point along the canyon' s edge offers a different view. The North Rim of the Canyon is quieter, h takes all day to drive there from the South Rim because there is only one bridge across the Colorado River. On the way, you go through Navado Indian lands, and a colourful pink desert called "The Painted Desert".You can walk clown into the Grand Canyon, or you can go down oil the back of a mule (小型電動機(jī)車).

But Elizabeth felt she could learn anything a man could learn. And she proved it. No one laughed at her. The jokes stopped, but none of the town's people would speak to her. They thought she was wrong to study medicine. As a student, Elizabeth helped treat (醫(yī)治) sick poor people during her summer holidays. She found out that she had much more to learn as she tried to help them. "I must learn more "she said "there is so much work to be done among the sick (病人).

They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time-at least twenty or thirty years. Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw. Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people. There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 19典型例題 met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 19典型例題assenger on a boat called The penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area except for The penguin. Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but manycountries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them. 1. Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they_. A. live in groups B. have large brains C. are warm-blooded D. have their own language 答案：B 指導(dǎo)：根據(jù)第一段最后兩句話可知，海豚區(qū)別于幾乎所有的陸地動物，是因為它們的大腦幾乎和人類的一樣大而且生活時間長。2. Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?_. A. Its nose. B. Its ears. C. Its mouth. D. Its eyes. 答案：C 指導(dǎo)，海豚是靠聲音探路的，而接聽聲音的地方卻不是耳朵而是嘴的下部。3. Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack? A. He was lonely and liked to be with people. B. They enjoyed playing with him. C. He was seriously wounded. D. They wanted his help. 答案：D 指導(dǎo)：由于這片水城十分兇險，所以水手們需要杰克的幫助。4. By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that_. A. dolphins are friendly and clever B. people are cruel to animals C. Jack is different from other dolphins D. dolphins should be protected'by law 答案：A 指導(dǎo)：文章大部分篇幅都在講述海豚與其他動物的不同，它們與人類的友誼的故事，說明了海豚是一種友好而又聰明的動物，所以A為最佳選項。*結(jié)束
