Part Ⅱ 高考同源研探
(江苏高考阅读B)
In the 1960s,while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park,Bob Christiansen became
puzzled about something that,oddly,had not troubled anyone before:he couldn’t find the park’s volcano.It
had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature—that’s what accounted for all its
hot springs and other steamy features.But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.
Most of us,when we talk about volcanoes,think of the classic cone ( 圆锥体) shapes of a Fuji or
Kilimanjaro,which are created when erupting magma (岩浆)piles up.These can form remarkably quickly.In
1943,a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land.In one week he was
the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high.Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen
hundred feet and was more than half a mile across.Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes
on Earth,all but a few hundred of them extinct.There is,however,a second less known type of volcano that
doesn’t involve mountain building.These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big
crack,leaving behind a vast hole,the caldera.Yellowstone obviously was of this second type,but Christiansen
couldn’t find the caldera anywhere.
Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of
Yellowstone.A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption
that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors’ centers.As soon as Christiansen saw the
photos,he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera:almost the whole park—2.2 million acres—was
caldera.The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across—much too huge to be seen from anywhere
at ground level.At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the
scale of anything known to humans.
58.What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone?
A.Its complicated geographical features.
B.Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.
C.The mysterious history of the park.
D.The exact location of the volcano.
59.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A.The shapes of volcanoes.
B.The impacts of volcanoes.
C.The activities of volcanoes.
D.The heights of volcanoes.
60.What does the underlined word “blow-up” in the last paragraph most probably mean?
A.Hot-air balloon.
B.Digital camera.
C.Big photograph.
D.Bird’s view.

根据第三段前两句“Just at this time NASA decided...a nice blow-up for one of the visitors’ centers.”可
知,美国国家航空航天局为测试一些新的高海拔照相机而拍摄了黄石公园的照片。一位考虑周到的
官员把其中一些照片副本转交给了公园管理部门,他认为这些照片可以被放大以供游客中心展示。
故可知,此处意为将照片放大,选C。

受到火山爆发的震撼。这句话使用了so...that...结构强化了火山爆发的程度,动词和形容词的精准运

Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the other woman.“My

They walked the short distance to Lena’s home and rang the doorbell.The moment
Lena opened the door,she was rooted to the ground due to the amazement at seeing her
