B.ThewavelengthofWave1is10timeslongerthanthatofWave2.C.ThewavelengthofWave2islongerthanthatofWave1.D.ThewavelengthofWave1islongerthanthatofWave2.【答案解析】本文是說明文，講述了海浪的有關(guān)知識(shí)。1.C。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)Butthewavesmostofusknowareproducedbywindsblowingoverthesea.可推知此題答案為C。2.B。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)Thewaterthatmakesupawavedoesnotadvancewithitacrossthesea.可知水并不會(huì)隨海浪一起運(yùn)動(dòng)。3.D。推斷題。根據(jù)Speed=wavelength×frequency計(jì)算公式，Wavelength=speed÷frequency，所以波浪1的波長(zhǎng)為10cm，波浪2的波長(zhǎng)為cm，故D正確。
