八、阅读理解
When you first hear about the Dead Sea, it might sound scary, but the truth is quite different. Let’s get closer to the Dead Sea and learn more about it.
The Dead Sea is located in Southwest Asia. It is about 50 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide at its widest point. It sits at about 430 meters below sea level, making it the lowest point on earth’s land.
What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake. The salt concentration (盐浓度) in it is more than 30 percent, which is about eight times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it one of the saltiest bodies of water on earth.
The Dead Sea stays so salty because of its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of freshwater flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the freshwater to evaporate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. For these reasons, it is also known as the Salt Sea.
If you are to swim in the Dead Sea, you won’t see any sea life — no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to live there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea.
However, don’t let the name or not having any sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys (救生圈) . In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the lakeside, you’ll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or magazines.
1．What do we know about the Dead Sea
A．It is the largest place in Asia. B．It is the widest sea in the world.
C．It is the deepest point in America. D．It is the lowest lake on earth’s land.
2．What makes the Dead Sea so salty
A．A lot of seawater runs into it.
B．Human activities improve the salt levels.
C．Little rainfall and rapid evaporation of freshwater.
D．The high temperature stops the water from freezing.
3．Why do people call it the Dead Sea
A．Because they cannot swim in it. B．Because it has something dangerous.
C．Because it has the low salt concentration. D．Because no plants or animals can live in it.
4．What does the underlined word “float” probably mean
A．Sing in the room. B．Stay above water.
C．Fly in the sky. D．Walk on the road.
5．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．People feel scared when swimming in the Dead Sea.
B．The Dead Sea is dangerous for people who can’t swim.
C．If people can’t swim, they’ll still be safe in the Dead Sea.
D．A life buoy is necessary when swimming in the Dead Sea.
九、六选五。从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 ,有一个选项多余。
Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, and emptiest place on Earth. But it is also home to penguins and many kinds of ocean life. The cold weather over millions or years has created a huge layer（层）of ice that covers Antarctica. 1
Yet the continent (大陆) is also one of the driest parts on Earth.
2 The first human to set foot on land in Antarctica is said to be John Davis, a US seal hunter, in 1821. Tourists visit the coast of Antarctica during summer, which is from November to February in the southern hemisphere. They get to see penguins, seals, whales and a beautiful icy view.
3 They are mostly scientists and those who help them carry out their research.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is a US organization. 4 “Each year, we send more than 100 teams of scientists to our three research stations in Antarctica,” Polar Programs spokesman Peter West said.
Some scientists study the movement of glaciers (冰川) or the activity of volcanoes. 5 There are even scientists looking for dinosaur bones!
A．Polar Programs, which is part of the NSF, supports scientists in the Antarctic.
B．Humans have explored the area for hundreds of years.
C．But who lives and works in Antarctica
D．What animals live in Antarctica
E．In some places, the ice is about 20 meters thick.
F．Others study animals such as whales, seals, birds, and fish.

Because the Yellow River is the cradle(摇篮) of ancient Chinese civilization. It provided water for farming, supported the growth of early settlements(聚居地), and helped shape Chinese culture and history. It has nurtured(培育) generations of Chinese people, so we call it our "mother river".
