Thousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano broke out. The hot liquid piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being. Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the sea waves brought in plants and animals.8. According to the passage, the island got its first soil from _______.A. its own rockB. the sand brought by the windC. cool rainsD. sea waves

我们来一步一步分析这道题： --- ### **题目内容回顾：** 这段文字描述了一个岛屿形成的过程： 1. 一个海底火山喷发，形成了一个岛屿。 2. 随着时间推移，**阳光和雨水**使岩石破裂、碎裂。 3. **海浪拍打岩石**，使岩石进一步破碎。 4. 这样形成了**土壤和沙子**。 5. 后来，**海浪带来了植物和动物**。 --- ### **题目：** **According to the passage, the island got its first soil from _______.** （根据文章，这个岛屿最初的土壤来自哪里？） 选项： - A. its own rock（它自己的岩石） - B. the sand brought by the wind（风带来的沙子） - C. cool rains（凉爽的雨水） - D. sea waves（海浪） --- ### **分析：** 根据文章内容： - “hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces.” → 阳光和雨水使岩石破裂。 - “Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.” → 海浪拍打岩石，这样形成了土壤和沙子。 也就是说，**岩石在自然力量（阳光、雨水、海浪）的作用下破碎，最终形成了土壤**。所以，**最初的土壤是岩石破碎形成的**，也就是来自于“its own rock”。 --- ### **选项分析：** - **A. its own rock（它自己的岩石）** ✅ 正确。岩石破碎后形成了土壤。 - B. the sand brought by the wind（风带来的沙子） ❌ 文中没有提到风带来沙子。 - C. cool rains（凉爽的雨水） ❌ 雨水只是让岩石破裂，并不是土壤的直接来源。 - D. sea waves（海浪） ❌ 海浪只是帮助岩石破碎，不是土壤的来源。 --- ### **答案：** $$ \boxed{A} $$
