一、阅读短文，选择正确答案
Do you know mountains that look like huge stone pillars (石柱)? Many people feel surprised when they first see the special mountains in Zhangjiajie. How did these mountains form? Let's travel through time to discover their story.
Long ago, Zhangjiajie was under water. Rivers brought sand to the seabed. Year after year, new sand fell on the old sand. The heavy new sand pushed the old sand together. After millions of years, the sand became hard rock. The hard rock was sandstone.
Then, something amazing happened. The seabed slowly ascended and became dry land. The sandstone started breaking into big pieces.
Now came nature's artists—wind and water. Strong winds blew against the sandstone, while rainwater made small holes in the stones. Like a knife cutting cakes, rivers flowed through these holes and made them deeper. These two natural artists slowly changed the sandstone into beautiful stone pillars.
But this story isn't over. Even now, wind and rain keep making the stone pillars smaller. Scientists say that after millions more years, these stone pillars will completely disappear. So we're lucky to see this natural wonder before it's all gone.
