二、Reading comprehension

(2×10=20) Directions: Read the following passages and make your proper choices.

11.(1)Dry regions in the southwestern United States have become increasingly inviting playgrounds for the growing number of recreation seekers who own vehicles such as motorcycles or powered trail bikes and indulge(being crazy) in hill-climbing contests or in carving new trails in the desert. But recent scientific studies show that these off-road vehicles can cause damage to desert landscapes that has long-range effects on the area’s water-conserving characteristics and on the entire ecology (the scientific study of the pattern of relations of plants, animals, and people to each other and to their surroundings), both plant and animal. Research by scientists in the western Mojave Desert in California revealed that the compaction of the sandy dry soil resulting from the passage of just one motorcycle markedly reduced the infiltration(滲透)ability of the soil and created a stream of rain runoff water that eroded the hillside surface. In addition, the researchers discovered that the soil compaction caused by the off-road vehicles often killed native plant species and resulted in the invasion of different plant species within a few years. The native perennial (of a plant that lives for more than two years) species required many more years before they showed signs of returning . the scientists calculated that roughly a century would be required for the infiltration capacity of the Mojave soil to be restored after being compacted by vehicles.What is the main topic of the passage?

16.(2)Niagara Falls is the collective name for three waterfalls that straddle the international border between Canada and United States; more specifically, between the province of Ontario and the state of New York. They form the southern end of the Niagara Gorge.From largest to smallest, the three waterfalls are the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls. The Horseshoe Falls lies on the border of the United states and Canada with the American Falls entirely on the United States’ side, separated by Goat Island. The smaller Birdal Veil Falls are also on the United States’ side, separated from the other waterfalls by Luna Island.Located on the Niagara River, which drains Lake Erie into Lake Ontario, the combined falls form the highest flow rate of any waterfall in North America that has a vertical drop of more than 165 feet(50m). During peak daytime tourist hours, more than six million cubic feet(168,000m³) of water goes over the crest of the falls every minute. Horseshoe Falls is the most powerful waterfall in North America, as measured by flow rate.The falls are 17 miles(27 km) north-northwest of Buffalo, New York, and 75 miles (121 km) south-southeast of Toronto, between the twin cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario, and Niagara Falls, New York. Niagara Falls was formed when glaciers receded at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation( the last ice age), and water form the newly formed Great Lakes carved a path through the Niagara Escarpment en route to the Atlantic Ocean.Niagara Falls is famed both for its beauty and as a valuable source of hydroelectric power.
