Question

    In the sea there are many islands（ 岛 ）. In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them “coral islands（珊瑚岛）”. A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with trees, grass, and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water.

There is a little round lake inside the island. If you look into the lake, you will see beautiful corals. You may think they are flowers.

If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes（洞）in it. In each of these holes a very small animal has lived. These sea animals make the coral.

They begin to build coral under the water year after year, the coral grows higher and higher. At last it grows out of water.

Then the sea brings it to small trees or something else. After some years, these things change into earth. Sometimes the wind brings seeds（ 种 子 ）to the earth. Sometimes birds fly over it and bring seeds to the island.

The little seeds grow. In a few years there are plants all over the island. In a few more years there are trees growing there.

So you see, the islands are built little by little（渐渐地）. The workers are very small. Don’t they teach us a lesson?

文章大意： 本文描述了在大海的温水海域，我们可以发现一些珊瑚岛，文章向我们讲述了珊瑚岛形成的过程，文章最后作者有感而发，主要想告诉我们在平凡岗位上的人，虽然平凡但可以做不平凡的事。

1.细节理解题。根据文中“A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with trees, grass, and flowers on it.” 珊瑚岛很好看。它看起来像一个有树，草，花的土地环。可知，珊瑚岛看起来像是一圈陆地。故答案为B。

2.细节理解题。根据文中“There is a little round lake inside the island.” 岛上有一个小圆湖。可知，故答案为A。

3.细节理解题。根据文中“If you look into the lake, you will see beautiful corals. You may think they are flowers.” 如果你往湖里看，你会看到美丽的珊瑚。你可能认为它们是花。珊瑚看起来像湖里的花。故答案为C。

5.细节理解题。根据文中“Then the sea brings it to small trees or something else. After some years, these things change into earth. Sometimes the wind brings seeds（ 种 子 ）to the earth. Sometimes birds fly over it and bring seeds to the island.” 然后大海把它带到小树或别的什么地方。几年后，这些东西变成了地球。有时风把种子带到地球上。有时鸟儿飞过它，把种子带到岛上。可知，雪不会给岛上带来小树和种子。故答案为C。
