Question

【题目】Water is a liquid (液体) ; but it can also be a solid when it is very cold and turns to ice. It can also be a gas, when it evaporates (蒸发) and become water vapour (水蒸气) .

The water cycle

Water is very important, and without it life on Earth should be impossible. The oceans that

cover three quarters of the Earth’s surface can be thought of as our great water reservoirs. All the

time, water is being evaporated from the ocean’s surface by the warmth of the sun. High in the sky this water vapour, turns into clouds which drift (漂浮 ) over the land, often creating rainfall. As the rain falls,it seeps (滂漏 ) into the soil and then into rivers that flow back into the oceans, where it is ready to begin all over again!

下而是被打乱的有关The water cycle（水循环）的信息，请根据短文内容重新排序。

【解析】文章大意：这是一篇科普知识类阅读，主要介绍水变成雨的循环过程。首先地表上的水被蒸发变成水蒸气，然后水蒸气升高变成云，遇冷就会降雨，重新返回河流，在流入大海，最后准备重新开始这个循环过程。

【1】句意：水蒸气冷却时，它形成了云。 根据倒数第二行“High in the sky this water vapour, turns into clouds.”(天空中的水蒸气，变成了云)可知，在水蒸气冷却时，它变成了云，是水循环的第一步。故答案选E。

【2】句意：云漂浮在大地上空。根据倒数第二行“turns into clouds which drift （漂浮 ）over the land” (化成云飘过大地)可知，云飘过大地，是水循环的第二步。故答案选C。

【3】句意：雨滴从云层上掉落下来。根据倒数第二行最后“often creating rainfall.”(往往造成降雨）可知，雨从云里掉落，是水循环的第三步。故答案选A。

【4】句意：水渗入土壤，然后流入河流。根据最后一行“As the rain falls，it seeps（滂漏 ）into the soil and then into rivers that flow back into the oceans”(当雨落下时，它渗入土壤，然后流入河流再流回海洋)可知，水渗入土壤并回流到河流中，是水循环的第四步。故答案选D。

【5】句意：，河流把水带回大海。根据最后一行“flow back into the oceans，where it is ready to begin all over again!”(流回海洋，在那里准备好重新开始！)可知，河流把水带回大海，又开始了新的循环。故答案选B。
