甘肃兰州一中2014—2015学年度上学期期中考试 高一英语试题 说明：本试卷考试时间100分钟，满分100分。交卷时只交答题卡。 第一部分 阅读理解 (共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项. A Krakatau volcano（克拉克托火山）is in a small island in Indonesia. It had been peaceful for about 200 years before it erupted（爆发）in 1883. The first signs of the activity of the volcano appeared in May 1883, when fire and smoke could be seen at the top of the mountain. Great noise could be heard even in Jakarta a hundred miles away. Later the activity grew much greater. The peak（山顶）was covered with smoke and fire; the smoke at one time was seventeen miles high in the air. The lava—soft and hot rock—shot up into the air and rolled down the sides of the mountain. The mouth of the volcano was not at the peak of the mountain but on its side, close to the sea. As it grew bigger and bigger with the eruption, the sea water got into it. When the sea water reached the lava inside the volcano, it made the upper part of the lava colder and harder. And this sealed off（封住）the rest of the lava below. As the inside of the lava could not break through the seal, the pressure（压力）built up until the mountain blew up. The eruption of the volcano was followed by several earthquakes which brought about bad result. About 36000 people were killed and many towns and villages near the sea were completely destroyed by the great waves which the earthquake caused. 1．Give the correct order of the course of volcano eruption. ①The peak was covered with smoke and fire. ②Fire and smoke could be seen at the top of the mountain. ③Great noise could be heard a hundred miles away. ④The lava shot into the air and rolled down the sides of the mountain.
