(9)Devils Tower, the first national monument in America, could almost be mistaken for the stump of an enormous tree. Its sheer rock sides sweep up from a broad base until they cut off abruptly at the flat summit. Rising more than 1,000 feet in the middle of the gently rolling plains of Wyoming, the massive column of rock looks as though it was dropped down into this location from a different time and place.
In a sense it was. Devils Tower is a relic of the past, when the molten rock of the earth’s core forced its way to the surface to form the throat of a volcano. As the centuries passed, the rock cooled and hardened, shrinking and cracking into long columns.(10)Born in fire and fury, Devils Tower was then shaped by the slow, gentle work of wind and water. The outer layers of the volcano were worn away, until the hard core stood completely exposed.
(11)Small wonder that an Indian legend described Devils Tower as being formed by supernatural powers. The legend says that when seven girls were attacked by bears, they took refuge on top of a small rock, and they appealed to the Rock God for help.(12)The god caused the rock to grow and to lift the girls far above the ground, while its sides were scored by the claws of the angry bears. Even today, says the legend, the girls can be seen above the towering rock, as seven shining stars in the night sky.
Questions 9 to 12 are based on the passage you have just heard.
9. What does Devils Tower look like?
10. What caused the volcano’s outer layers to wear away?
11. What does an Indian legend say about Devils Tower?
12. How did the Rock God help the seven girls in the Indian legend?
选项
A、By sheltering them in a cave.
B、By killing the attacking bears.
C、By lifting them well above the ground.
D、By taking them to the top of a mountain.
答案
C
解析
短文结尾处讲述了关于魔鬼塔的传说:相传七个女孩受到熊的攻击,她们逃到一块小岩石顶上避难,并祈求岩石之神的庇护,岩石之神让小岩石长大,托着她们远离了地面,愤怒的熊在岩石侧面留下了抓痕。由此可知,传说中岩石之神通过把七个女孩托离地面救了她们。因此答案为C)。
