【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks' time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive if the rain is spread throughout the year. If it falls within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.
Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.
There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay under a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing –-very, very slowly ---as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.
Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.
(1)Many plants may survive in deserts when___________.
A.it is dry all the year round
B.the rain falls only in a few weeks
C.there is little rain in a year
D.the rain is spread out in a year
(2)Sand dunes are formed when____________.
A.sand piles up little by little
B.there is plenty of rain in a year
C.the sea has dried up over the years
D.pieces of rock get smaller
(3)The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that in a desert there is_____.
A.too much sand
B.more sand than before
C.nothing except sand
D.something else besides sand
(4)It can be learned from the text that in a desert____________.
A.there is no rainfall throughout the year
B.life exists in rough conditions
C.all sand dunes are a few feet high
D.rocks are worn away only by wind and heat

【题目】阅读理解
A Samoan airline says that it is the world's first carrier to charge passengers by their weight. Samoa Air, which opened in 2012, asks passengers to give their personal weight during booking, which is then charged according to the length of a flight. The customers will also be weighed just before they board the plane.
"It is believed that all people throughout the world are the same size," Samoa Air CEO Chris Langton said. "Airplanes always run on weight, not seats."
"There is no doubt in my mind that this is the concept of the future. This is the fairest way of your travelling with your family or yourself."
Though the airline introduced the plan last November, it caught people's attention last week when the carrier began international flights to neighboring American Samoa.
Almost at the same time, a Norwegian economist, Bharat Bhatta, published a report suggesting that airlines should charge obese passengers more.
The Pacific Islands contain some of the world's most common countries for obesity, many ranking in the top 10, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Samoa is ranked number four, with 59.6 percent of the population considered obese, said the most recent WHO report.
According to Samoa Air's latest schedule, the airline charges up to $0.57 per kg for flights in Samoa and $1.03 per kg for its only international flight to American Samoa, around 250 miles.
Children under 12 are charged 75 percent of the adult rate, with fares also based on weight. Any overweight baggage is calculated at the same rate as the passenger's personal weight.
The plan could actually prove cheaper in some cases, such as for families travelling with small children, and Langton said customer reaction has mainly been "amazingly positive".
The idea of charging passengers by weight has been hotly discussed before, and in the US some airlines require those who do not fit into a seat comfortably to buy a second seat.
(1)What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Airlines should charge passengers by flight length.
B.All people throughout the world are the same size.
C.It is unfair to weigh passengers at the airport.
D.Airplanes always run on weight, not seats.
(2)In Bharat Bhatta's eyes, Samoa Air's plan might be _______.
A.funny
B.acceptable
C.strange
D.disappointing
(3)A 100 kg adult flying to American Samoa would be charged _______.
A.$57
B.$75
C.$103
D.$125
(4)What does the text mainly tell us?
A.59.6% of Samoans are considered obese.
B.Samoa Air introduces pay-by-weight pricing.
C.Airlines should charge obese passengers more.
D.Baggage must be calculated as passengers' weight.
