2.When the weather is hot,you go to a lake or an ocean.When you are near a lake or an ocean,you feel cool.Why?The sun makes the earth hot,but it can not make the water hot.Though the air over the earth becomes hot,the air over the water stays cool.The hot air over the earth goes up,then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air.When you are near a lake or an ocean,you feel the cool air when it moves in.You feel the wind and the wind makes you cool.
Of course,scientists cannot answer all of our questions.If we ask"Why is the ocean full of salt?"scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks.When a rock gets very hot or very cool,it cracks (崩裂),and rain falls into the cracks.The rain then carries the salt into the earth and the rivers.The rivers carry the salt into the ocean.But then we ask"What happens to the salt in the ocean?The ocean does not get saltier every year."scientists are not sure about the answer to the question.
We know a lot about our world.But there are still many answers that we do not have,and we are curious(好奇的).

分析 这篇文章讲述了科学家能够回答一些问题,但并不能回答所有问题.我们知道为什么夏天的海边和湖边会感觉凉快,知道海里的盐来自哪里,但是科学家们也不确定海里的盐会怎么样.还有很多的问题等着我们去解决.
解答 66.B.推理题.根据The hot air over the earth goes up,then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air.When you are near a lake or an ocean,you feel the cool air when it moves in大气中的热空气上升,冷空气在水面移动代替了热空气,当你在湖边,冷空气过来你就会感觉到凉爽,故可知it替代的是the cool air over the earth,故答案是B.
67.A.细节题.结合第一段When you are near a lake or an ocean,you feel the cool air when it moves in.You feel the wind and the wind makes you cool.可知科学家已经解释了夏天人们在湖边感觉凉爽,故选A.
68.D.细节题,结合第二段.When a rock gets very hot or very cool,it cracks (崩裂)可知当很热很冷的时候会崩裂,故选D.
69.D.细节题,结合第二段.When a rock gets very hot or very cool,it cracks (崩裂)可知当很热很冷的时候会崩裂,没有说为什么,故选D.
70.B.主旨题.结合最后We know a lot about our world.But there are still many answers that we do not have,and we are curious可知科学家能解释很多事情,但是不是每一件事,故选B.
