问题     Vanuatu is an island nation in the South Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sport, there is a lot to do. Some of the best swimming, snorkeling and sea kayaking can be found here. Vanuatu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano(火山) surfing and land diving.
    Volcano Surfing
    On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises more than 300 meters into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts(爆发) almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it’s very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano—without getting hit by flying rocks! It’s fast, fun and dangerous—the perfect extreme sport (极限运动).
    Land Diving
    Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The original activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony. A man ties tree vines (树藤) to his legs. He then jumps headfirst from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head—without breaking the vine or hitting the earth hard. Every spring, island natives (men only) still take part in this amazing test of bravery.
What can be learned about Mount Yasur?
选项 A、It is 1000 meters high.
B、It has been 15 centuries since the beginning of volcano surfing.
C、It is an active volcano.
D、It erupts several times a day.
答案C
解析 根据第二段第二句“Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts almost every day, sometimes several times a day. ”可知，伊苏尔火山是一座活火山，它几乎每天都爆发，有时一天爆发几次，所以C项正确，D项不正确。根据第 二段第一句“…Mount Yasur rises more than 300 meters into the sky. ”可知，伊苏尔火山高300多米，所以A项不正确；根据第二段第四句“Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. ”可知，人们最近也开始攀登伊苏尔火山以便进行火山冲浪，所以B项不正确。故选C。
