Ⅳ.阅读理解
Seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the summit of Pacaya for a close－up view. There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua, giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.
Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art－works during its Holy Week festival. No matter when you come to Antigua, you won't miss the Pacaya－tour companies.
But climbing Pacaya is no easy job. It is 2,560 metres high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one－step－forward and two－step－back movements. As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming, hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit: the McKenney Cone(火山锥). Just as though you were going to walk over to the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive summit.
Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 metres into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night, the burning lava quietly falls down the side of the volcano. For you, too，it is time to get down.
1．What is the main purpose of this passage?
A．To attract tourists to Pacaya.
B．To describe the beauty of Pacaya.
C．To introduce guided tours to Pacaya.
D．To explain the power of nature at Pacaya.
2．Antigua is a city ________.
A．where people can enjoy cultural festivals
B．where the daring Pacaya tour starts
C．that gives a close－up view of Pacaya
D．that is famous for its tour companies
3．Climbing to the McKenney Cone, people will ______.
A．walk directly to the active summit
B．hear the continuous loud noise from above
C．make greater efforts than to other summits
D．see a path lined with remains of earlier eruptions
4．Many tours are timed for people to ________.
A．get down the mountain in time when night falls
B．avoid the smell from the upwind direction of the cone
C．enjoy the fantastic eruption against the darkening sky
D．appreciate the scenery of the 2, 560－metre－high
mountain
5．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．On the top of Pacaya people can see nothing but remains of the eruption.
B．On the way to Pacaya, people can hear the sound of eruption, steaming, hot remains and rare wildlife.
C．During its Holy Week festival Antigua becomes very beautiful.
D．Hot streams together with rocks can be erupted into the air.

A项与本段最后一句中“the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old，inactive summit”不符；B项与本段第三句中“you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above”不符；C项所述文中未提及。

答案：D
