Thousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano broke out. The hot liquid piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.
As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.
Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little creatures there. Only plants could grow first. Only then, in sunlight, could produce food from the minerals of the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider spun its web in vain, because there were no insects for its web to catch. Insects couldn’t stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the pioneer life on this new island.

DCDCC
要解释吗?

41:D
42:A
43:D
44:A
45:C

41.答案D。可以看出,全文就是在写在这个小岛上生命的形成过程。
42.答案D。文章第二段第一句说,炎热的阳光和寒冷的雨水使岩石破裂,风化成为土壤。
43.答案D。naked意为“裸的,无遮蔽的”,bare之意与之相近。“hidden”隐藏的,“new”新的,“mysterious”神秘的。
44.个人认为答案A。比较A、C,感觉birds只是给这个island提供plant seeds的一种媒介,而如果没有plants,birds也无法生活,而如果没有birds,照样有风来传播,因此个人认为A较好。
45.答案C。由原文的最后一段可以看出。
