　　Passage One欧洲最大的活火山

　　Q16.Mount Etna is one of the most active volcanoes on earth. The mountain has been in a state of near continuous eruption for half a million years.

　　Exploring the ethnogeography area reveals a history written in file.Before the eruptions, it was covered by forests of pine trees.Located in southern Italy, Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe. However, its height often changes when volcanic material accumulates during eruptions and subsequently collapses. Few volcanoes in the world have an eruption history so thoroughly documented by historical records. Etna’ eruption history dates back as far as one thousand five hundred BC. Some two hundred eruptions have been recorded down through the centuries. But compared with other volcanoes, most of its eruptions have so far been fairly light in terms of death and destruction. Only about one hundred deaths have been attributed to the volcano. The mountain hasn't been entirely harmless, however, in 1928, it destroyed the town of Masculine.

　　Q17.Over the centuries, Etna’slower slopes have been shaped by human hands to take advantage of rich soils for growing grapes, apples and nuts. Local people have also carved out over two hundred caves in the soft rock and used them for everything from sacred burial places to food storage. Large mammals once wandered the volcano slopes. But today, foxes, wild cats, rabbits and mice are more common. Q18.Some of those small mammals help to sustain such big birds as golden eagles.

　　Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　Question 16. Does the speaker say about Mount Etna?

　　Question 17. What do we learn about the lower slopes ofMount Etna?

　　Question 18. What does the speaker say about big birds like golden eagles atMount Etna?

　　【解析】本题读音为英音，体裁为说明文，介绍欧洲最大的活火山——埃特纳火山。难度偏大。

　　中间大段介绍埃特纳火山的特点及曾毁了庞贝古城等爆发历史，但没出题，此处不免造成很多考生慌张的感觉。

　　16. 开头出题，介绍埃特纳火山是欧洲最大且，持续爆发的活火山。听好开头即可选出选项。

　　17. 问the lower slopes of Mount Etna，文中介绍人们利用肥沃的土壤种植瓜果作物。

　　18. 距离17题较近，出现在结尾，小型哺乳动物small mammal帮助大型鸟类维持生命。
