长江三峡以西在远古时代属于古地中海,随着地壳不断运动,长江中游南半部隆起成陆地,古长江自东向西流入古地中海。约1.4亿年前,长江中游巫山山脉形成,古长江在其西侧向西流,在其东侧向东流。后来,随着青藏高原隆起,古地中海消失。距今300万年时,喜马拉雅山强烈隆起,巫山西侧长江流域地势整体抬升,巫山两侧河流溯源侵蚀进一步加剧,东侧河流成功袭夺(分水岭两侧,侵蚀力强的河流切穿分水岭抢夺侵蚀力较弱河流上游河段的现象)西侧,古长江东流而去,形成长江三峡雏形。第四纪,巫山山脉继续抬升,长江三峡峡谷(下图)最终形成。

Yours,

I grew up in a poor family with a single mom addicted to drugs (吸毒上瘾). Often there was no money for food, and I was always hungry.
On my eighth birthday, some close family members were invited to go to a park to celebrate my birthday. No cake. No presents. Except for my aunt, she had an envelope in her hand.
Before everyone sang Happy Birthday, I saw a little boy, probably my age, and a woman, perhaps his mother, digging in the park dustbin (垃圾箱) for food. Both the mother and the son were in rags (衣衫褴褛) with their clothes dirty enough not to tell the color of the clothes.
The sight of them filled me with sympathy. I begged my mom to invite them to my party but my mother was not a fan of strangers. She said no.
I was attracted by them. I didn’t know others struggled like me, and it hurt my heart. I watched them as everyone sang. I watched them as my aunt handed me the envelope. I watched them as I opened it until I saw the content, a new 100-dollar bill. My mother was angry be-cause my aunt gave me such a large amount of money. Maybe she thought my aunt trusted me more than her with cash.
We were poor and lived a hard life. But I had never dug in a dustbin for food. Again, I couldn’t help watching the mother and the son searching for food.
I was watching them when I remembered my previous (以前的) life. Once I had a happy family with more than enough to eat and wear.
My memories of the past were interrupted by my aunt’s voice. My aunt kept talking over my mother, telling me that I could do ANYTHING I wanted with that money. So I did.

Space is where our future is — trips to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Most people would think that apart from comets (彗星) and stars, there is little else out there.
The first piece of space junk was created in the year of 1964, when the American satellite Vanguard I stopped operating.
The major problem with the space trash is that it may hit working satellites and damage travelling spaceship. In addition to this, many pieces of junk may crash with each other and break into pieces which fall back to the Earth.
A.Future plans include a cooperative effort among many nations. |
B.The junk floats slowly around the Earth. |
C.However, since our space journey started, we have left much trash (垃圾) in space. |
D.It is said that there are now over 500,000 pieces of man-made trash orbiting the Earth at speeds of up to 17, 500 miles per hour. |
E.It lost its connection with the ground centre. |
F.To avoid this, scientists have invented several ways for clearing the sky. |
G.It hasn’t result in any serious problems up to now. |
