Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1What is erosion(腐蚀)? Erosion is simply when soil is transported on the earths surfa
10、ce from one location to another by a natural cause.This is easy to imagine. Picture a sandcastle on a beach. This sandcastle is particularly beautiful, the work of a whole long, hot summer afternoon. It has three towers, with a great wall running all around. Small square houses sit in an open area i

Sinkholes are formed when underground water wears away the dirt and rock that surrounds it. Eventually, the hole underneath the ground is s

Sinkholes occur naturally and have been around a very long time. Today, though, many sinkholes are caused by the action of human beings.In fact, to
15、day, human beings are one of the things helping to speed up erosion of the earth. Scientists believe that by pumping water from underground, moving sand dunes and other naturally-occurring anti-erosion measures, humans have allowed erosion of the earth to speed up by as much as 40 times. This means that beaches around the world are
