Question

Millions years ago much of our earth was covered with blocks (块) of ice. These ice blocks were as tall as high buildings in modern cities. Most of the ice was in the northern (北方的)part of the world.
Then the ice blocks started to move south. Cold and rain came with the ice. Animals and people had to move.
At last, the ice began to melt (融化). After half a million years, most of it had melted. More than half of the earth became covered with water. The climate became much warmer. Things began to grow. The earth began to look the way it looks today.

试题分析：本文大意：几百万年前，地球上大部分都被冰块覆盖着，这些冰块像现代城市的高楼大厦一样高，大多数的冰在地球的北部。然后冰块开始向南移动。寒冷与雨水伴随着冰块，动物和人类不得不迁移。最后冰块开始融化，50万年后，大多数的冰已经融化了，地球的超过一半的部分覆盖着水，气候变暖多了，生命开始生长，地球开始看上去和现在的样子差不多了。
