Question

 Millions years ago much of our earth was covered with blocks (塊) of ice. These ice blocks were as tall as high buildings in modern cities. Most of the ice was in the northern (北方的)part of the world.

Then the ice blocks started to move south. Cold and rain came with the ice. Animals and people had to move.

At last, the ice began to melt (融化). After half a million years, most of it had melted. More than half of the earth became covered with water. The climate became much warmer. Things began to grow. The earth began to look the way it looks today.

試題分析：本文大意：幾百萬年前，地球上大部分都被冰塊覆蓋著，這些冰塊像現代城市的高樓大廈一樣高，大多數的冰在地球的北部。然后冰塊開始向南移動。寒冷與雨水伴隨著冰塊，動物和人類不得不遷移。最后冰塊開始融化，50萬年后，大多數的冰已經融化了，地球的超過一半的部分覆蓋著水，氣候變暖多了，生命開始生長，地球開始看上去和現在的樣子差不多了。
