B Millie is watching a video about a raindrop's journey. Read the video script and choose the best answer for each question.
High up in the sky, there are dark, heavy clouds. A storm is on its way. Inside one of the clouds, several droplets of water are joining together to form a raindrop. The raindrop gets heavier and heavier. Soon, it is too heavy to stay in the cloud, so it falls to the ground. It's raining! The raindrop starts its long journey.
The raindrop bounces off a tree branch and lands on a man's hat. From there, it falls onto soft green grass. Here, it meets many interesting insects, but it can't stay in the grass for too long. Like all water, the little raindrop keeps flowing downward. It flows until it joins a small stream. The stream carries the raindrop to a river. Onwards goes the raindrop until it flows down into the big ocean.
Now the sun is coming out. The warm sun shines on the water and turns the raindrop into water vapour. The vapour rises from the ocean and travels up into the sky. The raindrop is back at its starting point.
But is its journey really over? No, it isn't! Up in the sky, the cold air turns the vapour back into tiny droplets. Once again, they join together to form a little raindrop. The raindrop gets heavier and falls. The cycle begins once more.
1 Why does the raindrop fall from the sky?
a Because the raindrop becomes too heavy for the cloud.
b Because the cloud gets too warm.
c Because the cloud gets too close to the ground.
2 What does the raindrop hit first on its trip down to the ground?
a It hits an insect. b It hits a river. c It hits a tree branch.
3 What happens to the raindrop after it gets to the ocean?
a It falls to the bottom of the ocean.
b It rises back up to the sky.
c It stays in the ocean.
4 Why isn't the raindrop's journey over when it gets back up to the sky?
a Because it rises higher up into the sky.
b Because it falls back to the ground again.
c Because it travels inside the cloud forever.
答案：【解析】：
這是一道閱讀理解選擇題，主要考查學(xué)生對(duì)英文文本的理解能力以及從文本中提取信息的能力。題目給出了一個(gè)關(guān)于雨滴旅程的視頻腳本，并圍繞這個(gè)腳本提出了四個(gè)問題。學(xué)生需要仔細(xì)閱讀腳本內(nèi)容，然后根據(jù)腳本中的描述，選擇最符合題意的答案。
1. 對(duì)于第一個(gè)問題，“Why does the raindrop fall from the sky?”，學(xué)生需要從腳本中找到描述雨滴落下原因的部分，即“The raindrop gets heavier and heavier. Soon, it is too heavy to stay in the cloud, so it falls to the ground.”，然后對(duì)比選項(xiàng)，選出正確答案。
2. 對(duì)于第二個(gè)問題，“What does the raindrop hit first on its trip down to the ground?”，學(xué)生需要找到描述雨滴落下過程中首先撞擊的物體的部分，即“The raindrop bounces off a tree branch”，然后對(duì)比選項(xiàng)，選出正確答案。
3. 對(duì)于第三個(gè)問題，“What happens to the raindrop after it gets to the ocean?”，學(xué)生需要找到描述雨滴到達(dá)海洋后發(fā)生的情況的部分，即“Now the sun is coming out. The warm sun shines on the water and turns the raindrop into water vapour. The vapour rises from the ocean and travels up into the sky.”，然后對(duì)比選項(xiàng)，選出正確答案。
4. 對(duì)于第四個(gè)問題，“Why isn't the raindrop's journey over when it gets back up to the sky?”，學(xué)生需要理解雨滴的循環(huán)過程，即雨滴在變成水蒸氣升上天空后，又會(huì)因?yàn)槔淇諝舛兂尚∷?，再次形成雨滴并落下，然后?duì)比選項(xiàng)，選出正確答案。
【答案】：
1. a Because the raindrop becomes too heavy for the cloud.
2. c It hits a tree branch.
3. b It rises back up to the sky.
4. b Because it falls back to the ground again.
