Or smooth? You may have different answers. But we know that we can describe the earth’s surface through landforms (地形). A landform is a natural mixture of rock and soil found on the earth. Landforms come in different kinds of shapes and sizes. The whole mountains, small hills, plateaus, and plains are the four main kinds of landforms. A landform might be as large as a country or as small as a pool. Landforms are made by some kinds of forces of nature. This force could be wind, water or ice. And it usually takes a very long time to form different landforms. It could be hundreds or thousands of years or even longer. For example, you may see many valleys. It used to be a high hill, but water and wind gradually wear down high land into a plain, and then create valleys. Many landforms are formed by water. Both processes happen over a long time, sometimes millions of years. What are the differences among the landforms? Valleys lie between hills or mountains. And there is usually a river at the bottom of a valley. A delta (三角洲) is another landform created by water. Deltas can be found at the mouths of rivers. They are created when sand, soil, and rock mix together. Hills and mountains are another two landforms. A hill is raised land. A mountain is usually higher with a top. Most mountains are like towers, but a few of them are like tables which have flat tops. ( ) 66. What are the four main kinds of landforms according to the text? a. mountains b. ponds c. plains d. hills e. plateaus f. deltas A. a, b, c, f B. a, c, d, e C. a, b, c, e D. a, b, d, f ( ) 67. Which of the following questions can be answered in Paragraph 2? A. Why do landforms disappear? B. How are landforms formed? C. What are the differences among landforms? D. What are the influences of landforms on the environment? ( ) 68. In which picture can you find a valley? EYou must have heard of the legend (传说) of Yu Gong, who tried to move two mountains. The Taihang Mountain was one of the two mountains. The Taihang Mountain passes through the areas of Hebei, Shanxi, Henan and Beijing. It is about 500 kilometers long. It is one of the largest mountain ranges in North China, and it was called “the backbone (脊梁) of China” in ancient times. Many legends about the beginning of human civilization come from the Taihang area. For example, Nv Wa used stones to repair the sky to make sure that humans would have a better future; Hou Yi protected everyone by shooting the suns. The Taihang Mountain is not only a place where the ancient stories happened, but also a place where tens of thousands of fossils (化石) were found. These fossils show how the earth has changed over time. At the same time, we can also learn about how ancient humans lived from the discoveries around the area. Nowadays, there are natural forests around the area with beautiful colours in four seasons. In spring, the trees of the Taihang Mountain will grow green leaves. In summer, the trees will grow luxuriant (茂盛的) and their leaves will block the sun. In autumn, the trees in the Taihang Mountain are tall and their leaves turn yellow. In winter, the trees are covered with snow, like a thick white coat. You can go there whenever you want because it is beautiful all year round. If you want to learn different things about history, culture and other important knowledge, you can come to the Taihang Mountain and feel its greatness. ( ) 69.

What can show that humans have lived around the Taihang area since long ago? A. Natural forests. B. The fossils. C. Many legends D. Ancient stories. ( ) 71. What might be the best title for the passage? A. A Great Old Man—Yu GongB. The Taihang Mountain—a Great Treasure in China C. Ancient Stories about the Taihang Mountain D. The Natural Beauty in the Taihang Mountain ( ) 72. In which part of a magazine can we read the text? A. History. B. Art. C. Technology. D.
