新素材 人文地理 Alex and his classmates are working on a project about the Great Lakes. Here is the information sheet they have made.
Part 1: Facts
The Great Lakes—Ontario, Huron, Michigan, Erie and Superior—are five freshwater giants. They span across eight US states and two Canadian provinces.
Part 2: Comparison
Lake Ontario
This lake has the smallest surface area at 7,336 square miles. Three dams (大坝) control the flow of water downstream and include locks so boats can enter from the Atlantic.
Lake Huron
This is the second largest lake by surface area in the system and home to Manitoulin Island, the world's largest freshwater island.
Lake Michigan
It is joined to Lake Huron by the five - mile - wide Straits (海峡) of Mackinac, though they are still classed as two separate bodies.
Lake Erie
With a depth of 64 metres, this is the shallowest of the Great Lakes. It is generally the warmest, but also gets frozen more quickly than the others.
Lake Superior
At 406 metres deep, the distance from the lake's surface to its deepest point is about the same as the length of four football pitches.
Part 3:
Covering an area of 94,250 square miles, these huge bodies of water take up more than one - fifth of the world's total freshwater. The Great Lakes provide drinking water for more than 40 million people, important shipping routes for more than 800 ocean ships, and keep a rich ecosystem for fishing and agriculture. They also support wildlife, the national economy and the environment.

答案：中考新考向——跨学科试题
A
1. D 【解析】根据 Lake Ontario 对应的“This lake has the smallest surface area at 7,336 square miles. Three dams control the flow of water downstream...”可知，安大略湖的表面积最小，并且有三座水坝控制着下游的水流。图中④处有水坝标识，且表面积最小，符合要求。
2. B
3. A 【解析】根据最后一段内容可知，本段主要介绍了五大湖为人们提供重要的淡水资源，为远洋航船提供重要的航运路线，为渔业和农业保持了丰富的生态系统，还为野生动物、国家经济和环境方面提供支持，这些都属于五大湖的价值。因此，A 项适合填在空处。

### 新素材 人文地理
亚历克斯和他的同学们正在做一个关于五大湖的项目。以下是他们制作的信息表。
#### 第一部分：基本情况
五大湖——安大略湖、休伦湖、密歇根湖、伊利湖和苏必利尔湖——是五个淡水巨湖。它们横跨美国的八个州和加拿大的两个省。
#### 第二部分：对比
- 安大略湖：这个湖的表面积最小，为7336平方英里。三座大坝控制着下游的水流，并且设有船闸，这样船只就可以从大西洋进入。
- 休伦湖：就表面积而言，它是这个湖系中第二大的湖，也是世界上最大的淡水岛——马尼图林岛的所在地。
- 密歇根湖：它通过五英里宽的麦基诺海峡与休伦湖相连，不过它们仍然被归类为两个独立的水体。
- 伊利湖：它的深度为64米，是五大湖中最浅的。它通常是最温暖的，但也比其他湖更快结冰。
- 苏必利尔湖：深度为406米，从湖面到最深处的距离大约相当于四个足球场的长度。
#### 第三部分：
这些巨大的水域面积达94250平方英里，占世界淡水总量的五分之一以上。五大湖为4000多万人提供饮用水，为800多艘远洋船只提供重要的航运路线，并为渔业和农业维持着丰富的生态系统。它们还支持着野生动物、国民经济和环境。
（ ）1. 新考法 图示理解 亚历克斯画了一张五大湖的地图。哪个数字代表安大略湖？
A. ①
B. ②
C. ③
D. ④
（ ）2. 亚历克斯想尽早尝试冰钓。他最有可能选择哪个湖？
A. 苏必利尔湖。
B. 伊利湖。
C. 密歇根湖。
D. 休伦湖。
（ ）3. 新考法 单词回填 亚历克斯发现第三部分有遗漏的内容。他会在空格里填以下哪一项？
A. 价值
B. 变化
C. 保护
D. 发展
