Getting close to active or erupting volcanoes can be dangerous. But for Michael Rampino, it’s all in a day’s work. Rampino is a volcanologist, a scientist who studies volcanoes and how they affect our planet. Rampino has been close to red-hot lava flows (熔巖流) in Hawaii and explosive volcanoes in Indonesia. He knows when to get close to an active volcano and when to back away.
Rampino wasn’t always a volcanologist. He worked for NASA for seven years. He studied rocks until he began to research climate change and the effects that volcanoes have on climate. He became interested in the subject. “Once I started working with volcanoes,” Rampino said, “I was hooked.”
Rampino is a professor at New York University. As part of his job, he travels to areas where volcanoes have been active. “Active” means they have erupted within the past few centuries and probably will erupt again. Rampino studies the deposits (沉積物) of ash and other materials from the eruptions. The ash may hold clues to what happened to the Earth in the distant past. It may also help scientists predict what could happen to Earth’s climate in the future.
Rampino doesn’t work alone. He works with a team of scientists who use computers to stimulate (模擬) the effects volcanoes have on Earth’s atmosphere.
Being a volcanologist may be hard work, but it’s also fun. “It’s cool traveling the world studying “to understand the events that have shaped Earth’s history.”
【小題1】To Rampino, being close to active volcanoes is _____.

A．scary but necessaryB．a(chǎn)dventurous but meaningful
C．impossible and unnecessaryD．dangerous but urgent
【小題2】The underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”.

【小題3】Rampino’s study on volcanoes might help _____.
A．warn people to protect the environment
B．support the study of Earth’s future climate
C．tell the future eruption time of the volcanoes
D．reduce the possibility of the volcanoes’ eruptions
【小題4】In which part of a newspaper could we find this text?

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來源：2012-2013學(xué)年陜西渭南希望高級(jí)中學(xué)高一下期期末考試英語(yǔ)卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

About 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son. After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled(注冊(cè)) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.
In the teacher’s office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “ Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)? Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”
Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? No, no, it can’t be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.
My son could not follow the teacher’s directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?
He was angry: “ Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home?”
No, I didn’t speak English at home, I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didn’t want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times? “ Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and sent them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”
Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “ those people.” Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.
As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(雙語(yǔ)的)。
Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others; it teaches people about other cultures and other places- something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey.
【小題1】The teacher asked the author to his office________.

A．to work out a study plan for Scola
B．to get Scola enrolled in kindergarten
C．to discuss Scola’s in-class performance
D．to find a language partner for Scola
【小題2】What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 probably  mean?
A．AttendingB．DisturbingC．BreakingD．Following
【小題3】The author’s attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as __________.
A．positiveB．criticalC．casualD．passive
【小題4】This text is likely to be selected from a book of __________.
A．geographyB．medicineC．historyD．education
