• 2．In the village of Liuke in China，houses are built with dark bricks and red windows.They stand quietly among tall and green trees.

"This is just.beautiful，" says Zhao Mingzhuo，a tourist from east China's Zhejiang Province."The kids get to enjoy the fields here，the old enjoy the quiet environment，and the young people can go camping.It's quite a good experience here."
      Liuke is one of the ancient villages that lie beside the Wanquan River in Hainan.The Wanquan River is 163 kilometres long and flows through an area of more than 3，600 square kilometres.A classic Chinese folk song sings in praise of the clear water of the river.And in recent years the Wanquan River has become a calling card for Hainan，thanks to its rich stories and history.
      In the old days，when villagers needed to travel to other villages，they had to pass by this village.Gradually，the village became a stopover（中轉(zhuǎn)站），so it got its name，Liuke.In recent years，the local government has worked hard to attract tourists to the village.Many sightseeing programs have been set up.Now the village has not only attracted tourists，but also helped villagers stay.In this way，the village can develop more quickly.

• 3．It seems that the Earth is in a season of volcanic eruptions recently.Mauna Loa，the biggest active volcano in the world，erupted in Hawaii on 27 November，2022，and lasted for two weeks，firing out lava（熔巖） 60 meters high in the air.Indonesia's Mount Semeru erupted on 4 December.Volcanoes in Mexico and Guatemala also erupted.Nearly 2，000 people living nearby moved out of the area.
      The volcanoes mentioned above have one thing in common：they are all located in the Ring of Fire，or the Circum-Pacific Belt（環(huán)太平洋）.This is a 40，000-kilometre path along the Pacific Ocean.Seventy-five percent of the Earth's volcanoes are located along this path.Ninety percent of the Earth's earthquakes also happen there.
      Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in the Ring of Fire are caused by the active movement of tectonic plates（地殼板塊）.The plates push against each other and cause the rocks to melt and become magma（巖漿）.When too much magma gathers underground，it needs to find a way out，releasing lava at temperatures of 800℃ to 1，000℃.
      Some volcanic eruptions are explosive（爆炸性的） and others are not.This depends on the magma.If magma is thin and runny，gases in it can get out easily.Then the magma just flows out slowly，giving people enough time to go away.If magma is thick and sticky，gases can not escape easily.Pressure builds up until the gases escape violently and explode.This type of eruption can be dangerous.The ash（灰） that erupts into the sky can suffocate plants，animals，and humans.
  
  （1）How many areas are mentioned to prove that "the Earth is in a season of volcanic eruptions"？

  
  A.Two.
  B.Three.
  C.Four.
  D.Five.
  （2）What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？

  
  A.The similarity of the volcanoes.
  B.The location of most volcanoes.
  C.The introduction of the Pacific Ocean.
  D.The reasons of the volcanic eruptions.
  （3）What can we know according to the text？

  
  A.All volcanoes are located in the Ring of Fire.
  B.Volcanoes only erupt in November or December.
  C.Volcanic eruptions have no effect on people living nearby.
  D.The movement of tectonic plates may cause some natural disasters.
  （4）What does the underlined word"violently"in the last paragraph mean in English？

  
  A.Slowly.
  B.Strongly.
  C.Easily.
  D.Gently.
