Most of the time, the ground feels solid beneath our feet. That's comforting. But it's also misleading because there's actually a lot going on underground. Masses of land (called plates) slip, slide, and bump against each other, slowly changing the shape of continents and oceans over millions and billions of years.

Scientists know that Earth formed about 4. 5 billion years ago. They also know that our planet was hot at first. As it cooled, its outermost layer, called the crust （地壳), eventually formed moving plates. Exactly when this shift happened, however, is an open question.

Now, an international group of researchers has an answer. They've found new evidence suggesting that Earth's crust started shifting at least 3.8 billion years ago. The new estimate is l. 3 billion years earlier than previous ones.

Not long before 3. 8 billion years ago, lots of small planets were hitting Earth, keeping its crust in a hot, melting state. After the hard crust formed, much of it sank at various times into the planet's hot insides. There, it melted before returning to the surface.

In some places, however, the crust never sank. One of the oldest such places is in Greenland, in an area called the Isua supracrustal (上地壳) belt. The rocky crust there is between 3. 7 and 3. 8 billion years old. The belt was once part of the seafloor, but now it is exposed to air.

The researchers recently took a close look at the Isua supracrustal belt. They noticed long, parallel cracks（裂缝）in the rock that have been filled in with a type of volcanic rock.

To explain this structure, the scientists propose that tension in the crust caused the seafloor to crack open long ago. Hot, liquid rock oozed from deep inside Earth to fill the cracks. Finally, the whole area cooled, forming what we see today.

That explanation, plus chemical clues inside the rock, suggests that the Isua supracrustal belt was once part of plate under the ocean, beginning around 3.8 billion years ago.

“It's a fantastic case of solving a jigsaw puzzle（拼图）,”says one of the researchers. He notes that the puzzle was “a very difficult one because these rocks are all very old and have been badly ruined".

1.The underlined phrase “oozed from" in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to________.

A. filled up gradually

B. washed away quickly

C. flew out of slowly

D. broke through suddenly

2.What can we infer from the text?

A. The shapes of continents and oceans changed slowly.

B. The Earth's crust started shifting l.3 billion years ago.

C. The crust began to shift when the Earth was hot.

D. The hit from small planets made the Earth cool.

3.What do scientists know about the past of the Isua supracrustal belt?

A. It was once covered by hot, liquid rock.

B. It remained under the deep sea.

C. It stayed hot and sinking.

D. It kept moving slowly.

4.The text is mainly about________.

A. why the Earth cooled

B. how the Isua supracrustal belt formed

C. whether the ground beneath our feet is still

D. when Earth's crust began shifting

Nearly 60 million visitors flooded to the 384 national parks across America every year. And you won’t have to wander far from home to enjoy one of these national treasures, with Michigan’s Isle Royale National Park nearby.

Located 56 miles from Copper Harbor on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, the park remains a desolate area that can only be reached by tour boat. With the exception of the Rock Harbor Lodge, which offers both rooms with private baths and accommodations in the form of small cottages, the 572,000 acres that make up the 45-mile-long park are rough, threaded with hiking paths that lead to tents-only campsites. You are likely to see a deer crossing mist-covered ponds in search of breakfast, gaze bald eagles flying overhead, or hear a beaver(河狸) clapping its tail on the water. If you are especially lucky, you might even glimpse a grey wolf, nearly dying out from hunting on the mainland.

Plenty of hiking paths open the area to exploration. The 4-mile Stroll Path winds through various trees and offers a tour of the island’s history, including prehistoric Indian mines. The Jungle Path leads to Scoville Point——a perfect picnic spot surrounded on three sides by the shining waters of Lake Superior.

You can also rent a boat at the park’s service center and row down the shore to the Rock Harbor Lighthouse. Here park’s service employees use nets to show how lake fishes used to be caught by the original local people. Their catch ends up on the dinner menu at the Rock Harbor Lodge.

The park is open from mid-April through October; Rock Harbor Lodge is open from Memorial Day weekend until just after Labor Day.

A. an undeveloped area

B. an inaccessible area

D. an area protected by government

A. Indians used to hunt grey wolves to make a living.

B. Tourists can only visit the park by walking or hiking.

C. The number of grey wolves is smaller than that of deer.

D. Food provided by Rock Harbor Lodge is shipped from outside.

3.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Safety tips of the natural park.

B. Attractions of the natural park.

C. Tourist service of the natural park.

D. Environmental protection of the natural park.

We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.

Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed—no examination is perfect—but to have tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.

Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them －a form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defending of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation(声誉), unable to compete for employment with the child from the favored school.

The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have evensuggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computers.

1.The word “favoritism” is used to describe the phenomenon that _____.

A. children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs

B. bright children also need certificates go get satisfying jobs.

C. poor children with certificates are favored in job markets

D. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success

2.What would happen if exams were taken away according to the author?

A. Schools for bright children would lose their reputation.

B. There would be more opportunities and excellence.

C. Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.

D. Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.

3.The opponents of the examination system will agree that _____.

A. computers should be selected to take over many jobs

B. jobs should not be assigned（分配）by systematic selection

C. special classes are necessary to keep the school standards

D. schools with academic subjects should be done away with

4.The passage mainly focuses on _____.

A. examination and equality B. schools and certificates

C. opportunity and employment D. standards and reputation
