When we look at the earth, we see many different things. Sometimes, you may hear people talk about the landform and landscape. Are they the same thing? Let's find out!
A landform is a natural feature of the earth's surface. Think of big mountains that rise high up, low valleys(山谷) between hills, flat plains that go on and on, and sandy deserts. These are all landforms. They are made by nature over a long, long time. For example, mountains are formed when huge pieces of the earth's surface push against each other. Valleys can be made by rivers cutting through the land little by little. Each landform has a name that tells us what it looks like and how it was formed. Scientists study landforms to learn about the history of the earth.
A landscape, on the other hand, is what you see when you look at an area of land. It includes (包括) landforms, but it also has other things like plants, buildings, and lakes. Imagine standing on top of a hill. You can see green trees waving in the wind, a small village with houses, and a clear lake nearby. All these things together make up the landscape. A landscape can change rapidly. If people build new buildings or cut down a lot of trees, the landscape will look different in just a few months.
Let's take a forest in the mountains as an example. The mountain is the landform—it's a natural feature of the earth. But when you see the tall trees, hear the birds singing, and watch a little stream(溪流) running down the mountain, that's the landscape.
So, the key difference is this: the landform is about the natural shapes of the earth, and the landscape is about the whole view of an area, including both natural and man-made things. Next time you go on a trip, try to enjoy different landforms and describe(描述) the beautiful landscapes around you!

【分析】
首先通读全文，明确文章介绍了地形（landform）和景观（landscape）的核心区别。针对各题目，需精准定位原文对应信息：33题查找山脉形成的原因，34题结合语境猜测划线词含义，35题明确景观包含的内容，36题分析作者解释概念差异的方法。
【解析】
33题：根据原文第二段“For example, mountains are formed when huge pieces of the earth's surface push against each other.”可知，山脉是地球表面巨大板块相互挤压形成的，对应选项C。A选项“人造堆积”、B选项“河流切割形成”、D选项“风雨侵蚀形成”均与原文不符，故选C。
34题：第三段提到景观变化快，“If people build new buildings or cut down a lot of trees, the landscape will look different in just a few months.”说明变化时间短，故划线词“rapidly”意为“快速地”，对应选项B。A“明亮地”、C“有力地”、D“安静地”均不符合语境，故选B。
35题：原文第三段明确指出“A landscape... includes landforms, but it also has other things like plants, buildings, and lakes.”，即景观包含陆地形态、植物、房屋、湖泊等，对应选项D。A、B、C均表述片面，故选D。
36题：作者通过“森林在山里”的例子（山是地形，树木、溪流等是景观）来解释两者区别，采用举例子的方法，对应选项C。A“讲故事”、B“列数字”、D“提问”均不符合，故选C。
