The water cycle is a natural process that takes water from the ground and the sky and brings it back to the earth again.
The water cycle always begins with water vapour(蒸气). When it's hot outside,you can see clouds forming in the sky. These clouds are made of water vapour that comes from the ground,plants and rivers. As water vapour rises into the sky,it cools down and becomes clouds. After that,clouds travel through the sky and fall back to earth as rain or snow. Then,water runs through rivers and oceans and finally returns to the earth again in different forms like rainwater or snow.
The water cycle plays an important role in protecting our earth's climate. It provides us with water to drink and keeps our climate healthy. On top of that,it takes water from rivers and oceans and brings it to the areas that don't have enough water. Without the cycle,we would face many problems. When there is too much water in one place,it becomes a flood(洪水). When water is badly in need,it becomes a drought(旱灾).
The water cycle is a natural process that keeps our planet alive. Understanding the water cycle can help us enjoy the beauty of nature,know how our planet works and develop better methods to protect our earth.

答案： 1. D [解析]事件排序题。根据第二段中的"As water vapour rises into the sky，it cools down and becomes clouds. After that，clouds travel through the sky and fall back to earth as rain or snow. Then，water runs through rivers and oceans and finally returns to the earth again in different forms like rainwater or snow."可知,水循环从水蒸气上升开始,然后形成云,接着云以降雨或降雪的形式落下,最后水返回地面;对比选项,选项D③④②①符合这一顺序。故选D。2. A [解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的"The water cycle plays an important role in protecting our earth's climate. It provides us with water to drink and keeps our climate healthy."可知,水循环在保护地球气候方面起着重要作用,它为我们提供饮用水并使我们的气候保持健康。故选A。3. D [解析]代词指代题。根据第三段中的"On top of that，it takes water from rivers and oceans and brings it to the areas that don't have enough water."可知,它从河流和海洋中取水,并将水带到缺水的地区;结合前文一直在讲的主体"the water cycle"可知,此处描述的是水循环的作用;据此可以推断,划线单词"it"指代上文提到的"The water cycle"。故选D。4. B [解析]推理判断题。根据第二段中的"As water vapour rises into the sky，it cools down and becomes clouds."可知,水蒸气升入天空后,冷却形成云,因此③"水蒸气冷却后变成云。"符合原文;再根据第三段中的"Without the cycle，we would face many problems. When there is too much water in one place，it becomes a flood. When water is badly in need，it becomes a drought."可知,水循环很重要,没有与之相关的水蒸气参与循环会出现灾难情况,④"没有水蒸气可能会有一些灾难。"符合原文;因此③④正确。故选B。
